When the machine is switched off, be aware that there is still stored pressure in the hydraulic system.
The hydraulic system can store energy in the machine components which are supported by the
hydraulic system. All major machine assemblies should be lowered to the ground or supported to
isolate any hydraulic energy.
In spite of these precautionary measures, some of the hydraulic system's subsystems may still be
pressurized (e.g. boom circuit). Always use approved personal protective equipment and proceed
with caution.

Pneumatic system isolation

The machine uses a separate air compressor which much be shut down and detached from the
machine before doing any maintenance work to the pneumatic system. In spite of these precautionary
measures, the system may include some subsystems, from which pressure has not been released
(even if pressure is released from the pneumatic circuit). When performing any maintenance or repair
work, always use approved personal protective equipment. Proceed with caution and comply with all
safety requirements.

Fuel system isolation

Isolate the fuel system by plugging the fuel supply hoses. This will prevent any environmental
contamination during maintenance.

Electrical system isolation

Before performing any maintenance work, always ensure that the batteries are disconnected from
the electrical system by the main switch. Make sure that the machine cannot be started accidentally.
In spite of these precautionary measures, parts of the electrical system still have electricity. When
performing any maintenance or repair work, always use approved personal protective equipment.
Proceed with caution and comply with all safety requirements.

2.7. Fire risk control measures

WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD!
An explosion hazard could exist in addition to the fire hazard.
Ignition sources like smoking, open flames, welding work and
sparks together with combustible materials like fuel, can cause
fire and if not avoided, could lead to death or severe injury.
Ignition sources are prohibited in the vicinity of the machine
ready for operation or in operation.
During maintenance appropriate fire prevention and protection
measures must be followed including but not limited to trained
personnel, proper fire extinguishing equipment and agents.
Before any maintenance or repairs requiring ignition sources
like welding or flame cutting, a proper risk assessment must be
carried out prior to the start of the work to control the risk.

Smoking and open fire are prohibited in the vicinity of the product. Access to all fire-fighting equipment
must be granted at all times, especially during maintenance and repair works.
All fire-fighting equipment must be inspected and serviced regularly, according to local regulations.
Damaged fire-fighting equipment and used fire extinguishers must be replaced immediately.
Know the various types of fires and the appropriate fire-fighting methods. Be aware that various fires
must not be extinguished with water. In most cases special extinguishing agents, dry powders or
deoxygenating are required.
All personnel must be trained regularly in fire-fighting methods, in cooperation with local authorities
and rescue organizations. In case of fire, the fire alarm must be activated and all available personnel
must contribute in the fire-fighting according to the predetermined fire plan of the workplace.

2.7.1. In case of fire

Fight the fire as follows:


1. Stop the machine safely.
2. Press the nearest emergency stop.
3. Use a hand-held fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire.
4. Turn the main switch to the OFF position.
5. Shut down the separate air compressor.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL dh350
2.7.2. Fire prevention

Fires in any environment are extremely dangerous and can quickly get out of control if not properly
dealt with.
The following recommendations will help prevent the likelihood of a fire on the machine:
• Always keep the machine and general area clean of flammable materials such as fluids and
lubricants, dirt and debris, and any material that could cause or amplify fire. Clean all fuel or oil spills
as quickly as possible.
• Report all electrical wiring and electrical component malfunctions to a service personnel
immediately.
• Ensure that the engine air intake, fuel and exhaust systems are maintained properly.
• Inspect the machine regularly for hydraulic and oil leaks.
• Ensure that you are aware of and are familiar with all fire fighting equipment on the machine. Also
ensure that all fire fighting equipment is inspected regularly and kept in working order. If the machine
does not have any fire fighting equipment, ensure that required fire fighting equipment is available.

2.7.3. Fire retardant and flammable materials

The machine fire safety has been taken into consideration during product engineering and
manufacturing. When possible, fire retardant materials have been chosen to improve fire safety.
In spite of engineering and use of fire retardant materials, there are also flammable materials in the
machine e.g. inside electical cabinets, in valves, plastic components and batteries. Also oils, greases
and paints used in the machine are flammable materials. Keep the machine clean at all times; dirt in
the machine increases fire risk.

2.7.4. Fire extinguisher(s)

A fire extinguisher is an active fire protection device which is used to extinguish or control small fires,
often in emergency situations.

Location of the fire extinguisher

The fire extinguisher is located on the front sur-


face of the fuel tank near the boom.

dh350 MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Using a fire extinguisher

All workers must know how to operate a fire extinguisher. Fire extinguishers are different and that is
why the user has to know how to use that specific extinguisher which is available in case of fire.
The instructions below are indicative. Familiarize yourself with the instructions printed on your
extinguisher in advance.

1. Take the extinguisher from bracket.


2. Pull out the locking pin.
3. Take out the extinguishing gun from the holder and press down the release lever.
4. Extinguish the fire source from the bottom at a distance of 4 m.
5. Press the extinguishing gun, fan out the extinguishing agent.
6. Send the fire extinguisher immediately for refilling after use.

Maintenance shall be performed annually by an authorized manufacturer distributor.

2.7.5. After a fire

Once the fire is out and the machine has cooled down, open the covers to clear the machine of smoke
and gases. Avoid breathing in the combustion gases. Keep a hand-held fire extinguisher close
and ready to use during ventilation.
Wash the machine with plenty of water as soon as possible after extinguishing, because the used
powder can cause corrosion, especially to the cables.
Used fire extinguishers must be replaced before using the machine. Only authorized service
personnel may service the fire extinguishers.
Do not start the machine again until the cause of the fire has been established and the fault
has been repaired.
Report all fires to the supervisor.

2.8. Protection against emission hazards

2.8.1. Noise

DANGER
NOISE HAZARD!
Noise level emitted by the machine exceeds 80 dB(A).
Continuous exposure to noise will cause hearing impairment.
Always wear approved hearing protection.

58 (232) Copyright © Sandvik Mining and Construction


MAINTENANCE MANUAL dh350
Measured sound levels

The sound pressure level and volume measurements in the operator position have been performed
according to GB16710-2010.
• The sound pressure level at the operator’s position ………………….93 dB (A)
• The sound power level emitted by the machinery (when drilling) ….103 dB (A)

2.8.2. Dust

DANGER
DUST HAZARD!
Breathing dust will cause death or severe injury.
Always wear approved respirator.
Make sure the dust suppression system in your equipment is
working properly.

Breathing or inhaling dust particles will cause death or severe injury. Always work with a respirator
approved by the respirator manufacturer for the job you are doing. It is essential that the respirator
that you use protects you from the tiny dust particles which cause silicosis and which may cause other
serious lung diseases. You should not use the product until you are sure your respirator is working
properly. This means the respirator must be checked to make sure that it is clean, that its filter has
been changed, and to otherwise make sure the respirator will protect you in the way it is meant to.
In any workplace where respirators are necessary to protect the health of the employee, the employer
must establish and implement a written respiratory protection program with work site specific
procedures and elements including but not limited to the selection of respirators, proper usage,
maintenance and care, cleaning and disinfecting and training.
Make sure the dust suppression system in your equipment is working properly. If the dust suppression
system is not working properly, stop working immediately.
Regularly clean your working environment properly to minimize the dust level in the air. Always make
sure dust has been cleaned off your boots and clothes when you leave your shift.
Respiratory silica dust is a hazard, which requires special attention. The smallest particles of dust
are the most harmful. They may be so fine that you cannot see them. Remember, you must protect
yourself from the danger of breathing or inhaling dust.

Dust collector system

Make sure that the dust collector system functions well and effectively at all times. Make sure that
- The suction head is firmly against the ground during drilling.
- The suction head and the suction head rubbers are in good condition.
- The suction hoses are in good condition and tight.
- The dust collector filters are in good condition. Only use original spare parts.
- The daily and other periodic checks and maintenance must be carried out according to the
instructions.

Using the correct drilling parameters and keeping the drilling equipment in good condition reduces
the amount of dust created.

dh350 MAINTENANCE MANUAL

2.9. Emergency procedures

It is the employer’s responsibility to plan and prepare site specific instructions to be followed in case
of an emergency or an accident. The machine manufacturer can also give certain general guidelines
that can be used as aid in establishing the required procedures. The following information should be
considered when devising a site specific emergency plan. This list is not meant to be comprehensive.
• Emergency stop: If the machine has to be stopped immediately, use the emergency stop functions.
Using the emergency stop button stops all the ongoing functions. For more information, see the
section, ”Emergency stop function”.
• Loss of stability: If there is sudden loss of stability during tramming, the safest place for the user
is usually on the tramming platform.
• Fire: In mining conditions, it is extremely important to avoid fires. If an accident does happen and
there is a fire, it has to be extinguished as soon as possible. For more information, see the section,
“Fire risk control measures”.
• Accidents with chemicals: In an emergency situation or accident where chemicals are involved,
see the required first aid measures and instructions in the material safety data sheets which have
been delivered with the machine manuals.
• Electric accidents: If the machine touches an electric power line, the following instructions may
prevent injuries or death.
- If you are standing outside the machine, do not touch any part of the machine or try to get onto
the machine. Keep everybody away from the machine.
- If you are on the machine, do not try to get off it. JUMP OUT! Do not make yourself a conductor
for the electric current to flow from the machine to the ground. Move away from the machine by
jumping, or by leaping so that only one foot at a time touches the ground. The electric field in
the ground can cause a dangerously high voltage between your legs. You will not be in safety
until you are about 20 meters away from the machine.
- If the machine is touching a power line, the machine can catch on fire.
- If the boom or some other component of the machine touches an electric power line, the whole
machine becomes live. A person standing on the ground and touching the machine can get a
fatal electric shock.
- If you come to a place where an electric accident has taken place, do not risk your own life by
acting incautiously to save others. Try to find out whether a high or a low voltage is involved.
- Where high voltage is involved, do not start any rescuing attempts until the power company
has cut off the voltage. It can be dangerous even to approach a person in contact with the
electric conductor, or with the machine that touches the conductor. Remember that high
voltage power lines have no fuses that blow; the conductors are always dangerous, until a
qualified electrician has made them dead.
- If a person is in contact with a low voltage line or with a machine that is touching a low voltage
line, rescuing can be attempted by using a dry and clean rope, or a dry and unpainted piece
of wood. Anyone who is attempting the rescue must keep as far away from the victim as
possible. The victim must not be touched until he is completely disconnected from the live
components. If the victim is unconscious, first aid measures must be started immediately.

After an accident or emergency situation: Being on site where an incident has occurred, do not
take any actions with the equipment involved. Do not speculate or give opinions on the cause. Contact
your Sandvik representative to get more information.

2.11.3. Disposal

This section gives useful advice to identify which parts of the product are recoverable, with a view to
recycling or reusing the materials or components for new applications. To ensure environmentally
sound treatment of a product and all of its components, the recovery issues are already taken into
account during the design phase of the product. Correct handling of waste materials reduces costs
and promotes the best use of the components and materials.
• Machine body: All the steel constructions and the copper and aluminum in the electrical wiring are
recyclable. The metals can be melted and used as raw material for new products, except for parts
that have been in contact with substances that are regarded as hazardous waste. The contaminated
parts can usually be simply cleaned or rinsed, after which they can be recycled.
• Plastic: Most plastic parts are recyclable, similarly to the metals. Each plastic part carries
information on the material used and a manufacturing date, which can be used for determining
whether the part can be recycled.
• Rubber parts and tires: Tires can be recycled, and used as recovered material. Worn-out tires
can be returned to the dealer from whom they were originally bought. Rubber tubes and hoses must
be cleaned before they are disposed of.
• Glass: Glass can be recycled, as well as laminated glass such as windshields and windows. Various
types of glasses shall be sorted according to local rules and regulations.
• Electrical and electronic waste: Electrical and electronic components contain valuable and
recyclable materials, and in addition a set of chemicals and heavy metals. Electrical components
that are classified as hazardous waste (accumulators, batteries, circuit boards) and other hazardous
waste must be delivered to a licensed waste treatment location or be disposed of according to local
regulations. Never dump hazardous electrical or electronic waste.
• Gas discharge / xenon lamps: Gas discharge lamps contain mercury and are hazardous waste.
They must not be dumped. Lamps must be taken care of by an authorized hazardous waste disposal
company.
• Air conditioning units: Air conditioning units, which contain CFC and HCFC compounds, must
always be delivered for treatment to a licensed waste disposal facility.
• Batteries: Batteries are classified as environmentally hazardous material and require special
handling and storing in accordance with applicable ordinances, rules and regulations. Batteries can
cause serious harm to the ecosystem; lead in the batteries is highly toxic and it accumulates in the
body over time. The disposal shall be taken care of by an authorized waste disposal company.
According to producer responsibility, producers of batteries and accumulators are also responsible
to accomplish the waste management of batteries that they have placed on the market.
Batteries also contain diluted sulphuric acid. The acid is extremely corrosive and it burns skin, eats
holes in clothing, and can cause blindness if it gets in the eyes. If you get battery acid on your skin,
or clothes, rinse them immediately with water. Use sodium bicarbonate to neutralize the acid. If it
gets in the eyes, flush the eyes with water, and call a doctor.
• Oils and fluids: Oil waste must not be disposed of by burning, and under no circumstances must
oil be poured down the drain or into water systems. Waste oil shall be collected in appropriate
containers. The best containers for collecting oil waste are the original containers for the oils. The
original containers already have the necessary warning labels, are easy to close, and can be moved
around fairly easily. Always strike out the product name on the label and clearly label the container
“oil waste”. Empty oil containers must not be dumped in landfills without having been cleaned.
Cleaned plastic containers can be disposed of as regular waste. Most countries have arranged a
recycling system for metal barrels. Greases, fuels, solvents, and other substances must not be
mixed with oil waste.
• Solid waste containing oil: Oil filters, oil rags, fuel filters, and oil absorbents must be collected in
a separate container.

Copyright © Sandvik Mining and Construction 65 (232)


dh350 MAINTENANCE MANUAL

• Solvents and oil trap sludge: Solvents and sludge that has collected on the surface of the oil traps
can both be collected in a same container. The surface layer in the oil traps must be removed
regularly, and the entire trap must be drained at least once a year, including the sludge at the bottom.
Do not mix the oil trap sludge with oil waste.
• Fuel oil: Fuel oil is hazardous waste that must in all cases be processed by an authorized waste
treatment plant.
• Radiator, brake, and clutch fluids: Used radiator, brake, and clutch fluids contain traces of heavy
metals, zinc, and copper, for which reason they must not be poured down the drain or mixed with
oil waste. They are to be collected in a separate, labeled container and delivered to the same plants
as the oil waste.

2.12. Potential product related hazards identified by the user

Sandvik has taken all necessary precautions to design a safe machine. If, in spite of these efforts,
you observe a hazard for which you believe there are insufficient safety measures, immediately inform
your supervisor. If necessary, also inform the other employees working with the product. Report the
hazard to your local Sandvik representative. Do not perform a task if you are unable to perform the
task in a safe manner.

2.13. Incident reporting

Product safety issues to be reported are events where a product manufactured by Sandvik Mining
and Construction has been involved in an accident or near-miss incident. Safety-related feedback,
such as unauthorized modifications, missing manuals and safety labels, negligence of maintenance
or misuse shall be reported to your local Sandvik representative as well.
Reporting is mandatory to ensure safe working conditions for employees, to provide information for
the risk assessment process, and to initiate product improvements.
Contact your local Sandvik representative to report safety issues, such as those mentioned above.

4. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

4.1. Importance of scheduled maintenance

The continued operation of the rig is ensured by regular maintenance carried out correctly at the
proper intervals. The purpose of regular maintenance is to check the rig at regular intervals, ensuring
a high uptime for the rig. This prevents high repair costs and loss of productivity. Neglecting
maintenance leads to high extra costs.
It is important to carry out daily maintenance routines carefully. All possible faults must be repaired
immediately or reported to the person in charge. Daily maintenance includes general lubrication,
inspections, and adjustments. Each new operator must be familiarized with the daily maintenance
routines.
Intervals listed for scheduled maintenance are usually based on
NOTE!
diesel engine hours or rock drill percussion hours.

dh350 MAINTENANCE MANUAL

4.2.5. Maintenance of the batteries

The sulfuric acid in the battery electrolyte is poisonous and strong enough to burn the skin,
eat holes in clothing, and cause blindness if splashed into the eyes. Personal protective
equipment and eye flushing facilities must be available near the charging location. Always
wear protective equipment such as safety goggles, protective overalls, protective footwear,
and protective gloves when working with batteries. Open flames, smoking, and work that
causes sparks are strictly prohibited during the servicing of batteries. Static sparking must
be prevented with insulating shoes or by safely discharging the static charge.

DANGER
EXPLOSION, ELECTRIC SHOCK AND CHEMICAL BURN
HAZARD!
Incorrect handling of the battery will cause death or severe
injury.
Always follow the following special instructions when handling
batteries.

• Only qualified electricians are allowed to perform electrical work concerning batteries that have a
short-circuit current over 1000 A.
• Always consider the danger of explosion when handling batteries. When the battery is charged or
discharged, lead and acid generate oxygen and hydrogen, which, in turn, form a highly explosive
gas. A battery in use must always be handled on the assumption that there is explosive gas in its
cells and ventilation ducts. Even after charging of the battery for an extended time, there still might
be some gas present. A spark near the battery can ignite the explosive gas. If the battery explodes,
the acid will flow around it when it breaks open. The energy of the short circuit is sufficient for melting
the metallic parts of the short-circuited parts. Thus, drops of melted metal can also fly around in the
explosion. A spark can be caused by, for example:
- disconnecting or connecting of the battery clamp
- a short circuit between the battery terminals or between the positive terminal and the frame
- grinding or welding
- use of a match or a lighter
- smoking
- static electricity.
In order to eliminate the risk of explosion, the battery electrolyte level must be kept stable and
checked regularly. Add distilled water, if required, before starting, never after that. You can eliminate
the space in the cells, where there can be gas, by keeping the electrolyte level of the battery as
high as possible.
• Open flames are strictly prohibited in the charging room and the immediate vicinity of the charging
area.
• Battery acid must not be stored in the charging area.
• If you get acid on your skin, rinse the affected area immediately with plenty of water. If battery acid
gets in your eyes, neutralize it first with sodium carbonate. Then rinse with plenty of water and seek
medical advice.

96 (232) Copyright © Sandvik Mining and Construction


MAINTENANCE MANUAL dh350
• Always loosen the battery cell caps before charging, to allow the gases generated during charging
to escape. Provide appropriate ventilation to ensure that the gases generated during charging can
escape to external air.
• Charging is done by the machine's own alternator or charger or by a separate battery charger. If a
separate battery charger is used, see the charger manufacturer's instructions.
• Do not charge a frozen battery. Warm the battery to approx. 16°C (60°F) before charging.
• Be especially careful when you are charging an empty battery.
• Batteries cannot be tilted during charging, measurement, or start-up assistance.
• Do not test electrical equipment by using the battery terminals.
• Never check a battery’s charge by placing a metal object across the posts. Use a voltmeter or a
hydrometer.
• Use a flashlight to check the battery’s electrolyte level. Do not use an open flame.

Disconnecting and connecting of the cable shoes:

• The connection and disconnection of the cables must always be done when the system is not
energized. Turn the battery main switch to the open position.
• Use insulated tools only.
• Disconnect the grounded (-) battery clamp first, then the power (+) battery clamp.
• In order to prevent sparking, disconnect the charger cable or switch it off before connecting the
cables to the battery.
• Before connecting the cable shoes, ensure that the power is switched off in all electrical equipment
of the drilling rig.
• The cable shoes must be connected carefully, and the polarity must be taken into consideration.
• Connect first the power (+) battery clamp and then the grounded (-) battery clamp. This way you
can avoid sparks caused by the tool.
• Do not wear rings or a metallic wristwatch, since these may cause a short circuit, which could, in
turn, result in sparking and burns.
• Check that the battery terminal covers are intact, and put them in their correct place.

6. LUBRICANTS AND CAPACITIES

6.1. General

WARNING! HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD!


Skin contact and inhalation of vapours when handling fluids
could cause damage to human health.
Incorrect disposal of fluids and greases could cause damage to
the environment.
Use personal protective equipment when handling fluids and
greases, and dispose of all fluids and greases in accordance
with local regulations.

6.1.1. Choosing the oil

Oil is chosen according to the properties of the oil and the application.

Choosing the oil according to its properties

- viscosity
- stability of properties throughout the oil’s service life
- water separation ability
- anti-oxidation and anti-foaming properties
- health effects
- environmental effects

Check the original oil type from the machine card or the
maintenance instructions.

Choosing the oil according to the application

The following issues must be considered:


- Sandvik's oil recommendation
- the component manufacturer's oil recommendation (e.g. diesel engine, transmission)
- environmental/site-specific/safety requirements
- biodegradable oils
- less flammable fluids

164 (232) Copyright © Sandvik Mining and Construction


MAINTENANCE MANUAL dh350
Mistakes in choosing and using oil

Components may be damaged if


- a wrong oil type has been chosen
- a wrong oil viscosity has been chosen
- the recommended oil change interval is exceeded.

Oils must be changed at certain intervals because the properties of the oil and its additives deteriorate
and are lost as the oil ages.
Observe the color and clearness of the oil. Water and other
impurities in the oil can cause malfunctions in the hydraulic
system and serious component damage (e.g. to rock drills). If
the oil is light grey or dull, change the oil. Find the cause of the
oil impurity.

6.1.2. Oil viscosity

SAE classification (engine oils)

(SAE = Society of Automotive Engineers)


Viscosity indicates the oil's ability to flow. Viscosity is measured at a high and low temperature and
is indicated as an SAE grade, e.g. SAE 40. For multigrade oils, e.g. 5W-40, the first value (5W)
indicates the oil’s viscosity at low temperatures, and the second value (40) indicates the oil’s viscosity
when it is hot.

ISO classification (industrial oils)

(ISO = International Organization for Standardization)


The viscosity of industrial oils is determined by the ISO-VG standard (ISO 3448). The ISO grade
number indicates the oil’s viscosity at +40°C, expressed in centistokes (cSt, kinematic viscosity). For
example, oil graded as ISO-VG 68 has a viscosity of 68 cSt at +40°C.

Too low viscosity causes

- Breaking of the lubrication film between contact surfaces. The resulting metal-to-metal contact
between surfaces causes rapid wear and increases the need for maintenance.
- Internal leaks in components, which reduces efficiency.

Too high viscosity causes

- Flow losses in the system, which also reduces efficiency


- Increase in the load on the seals due to increased return line pressure
- For certain rock drills, wear of the rotation shaft and thrust bearing due to increased return line
pressure
- Too thick oil increases the risk of cavitation in pumps.

dh350 MAINTENANCE MANUAL

6.1.3. Choosing the fuel

Fuel is chosen according to the properties of the fuel and the application.
When choosing the fuel, at least the following issues must be considered:
• Sandvik's fuel recommendation
• the engine manufacturer's fuel recommendation
• environmental/site-specific/safety requirements
• fuel sulfur content

6.2. Hydraulic system

Oil viscosity recommendations are based on the operating temperature of the oil.
Never mix different types of hydraulic system oils. Mixing can
damage the hydraulic components.

The selected hydraulic oil must be high quality and must retain its properties in fluctuating temperature
conditions. Furthermore, it should contain additives typical of high performance hydraulic oils.
When choosing the viscosity of the oil to be used, the temperature of the drilling environment is
important. Pay attention to temperature fluctuation.
When choosing the oil, consider the following:
1. Check or estimate the operating temperature of the oil.
2. The viscosity of oils at their operating temperature should be close to 60 cSt, and any variation
in continuous use should remain within the range 50–110 cSt.
The following variation limits are permitted temporarily (but not constantly):
- 110–200 cSt as a result of a low temperature peak, or
- 30–50 cSt as a result of a high temperature peak.
The values indicated in the tables should be considered first and foremost. In each case you must
always make sure that the product in question has the required properties.
3. If the drilling environment temperature does not vary greatly, we recommend that you use single-
grade oils which undergo minimal viscosity variation during use.
4. If the drilling conditions are such that single-grade oils do not remain within the given viscosity
limits, choose a multigrade oil.
5. The oil should be changed once a year unless heavy use requires more frequent changes. This
change interval recommendation is based on the extent that the oil ages and gathers moisture
over a one-year period.

For arctic conditions (temperatures below –20°C), we recommend synthetic oils.

6.2.3. Fire retardant hydraulic fluids

Sandvik sets the same high technical quality requirements for less flammable hydraulic fluids as are
set for conventional mineral oils. In addition, the oils must be non-flammable, with self-extinguishing
properties. A range of fire retardant fluids are available on the market, the properties of which differ
greatly.
In risk-prone conditions, Sandvik recommends the use of fluids that comply with the ISO 6743-4 HFD
standard for synthetic fluids.
Maximum permissible degree of contamination of the hydraulic fluid, cleanliness class to ISO 4406
(c).

However, for safety, performance and environmental reasons,


Sandvik does not allow mixing of different hydraulic oils/fluids.

These fluids must be compatible with the majority of metals and seal materials.
Sandvik uses fire retardant and biodegradable HFD fluids as factory-fill oils: Fuchs Plantoflux 68-AT-
S (Tampere plant) and Condat D68 (Lyon plant). Sandvik recommends these fluids for use in drilling
rigs. Since the availability of these fluids can be limited in certain market areas, Sandvik also approves
the following alternative:
• Quintolubric 888-68 (Quaker Chemicals)

Sandvik factory fill oils are totally miscible with the fluid mentioned above. Thus, the factory filled oil
can be changed as necessary in connection with the rig start-up inspection without flushing the
hydraulic system. Sandvik does not approve continuous mixing of hydraulic fluids.

NOTE! The guarantee is valid only if the recommended fluids are used.

Oils and fluids suitable for hydraulic systems are, e.g.


• Fuchs Plantoflux 68-AT-S (less flammable hydraulic fluid)

7.3.9. Tramming the rig onto the transport platform

DANGER
CRUSHING HAZARD!
Getting crushed by the rig will cause death or severe injury.
Observe extreme caution when tramming the rig onto a
transport platform. If there are other people assisting you in
tramming and fastening the rig onto the transport platform,
ensure that they stay outside the danger area while the rig is
switched on.

1. Ensure that the access ramps and transport platform can carry the weight of the rig and that the
allowed maximum inclination angles are not exceeded while tramming the rig onto the platform.
2. Ensure that the access ramps will remain in place when tramming the rig along them.
3. Move the boom and the feed to the tramming position.
4. Tram the rig at an even speed onto the transport platform.
5. Turn the boom and the feed to the transport position.
6. Turn off the diesel engine and turn the ignition key to the position STOP and the main switch to

7.4. Lifting the rig

DANGER
FALLING LOAD HAZARD!
A falling rig will cause death or severe injury.
Only use lifting equipment that is undamaged and of the
appropriate rated load capacity with respect to the weight of the
rig.
Stay away from the danger area. Ensure that there are no people
under the rig or on the access routes.
Never go beneath a hanging load or try to guide a hanging load
by hand.

The weight of the rig without accessories or optional equipment is about 7000 kg. For more specific
rig weight, refer to the type plate on the machine. Before lifting, check the weight of the unit in question
from the rig specification card delivered with the rig.

1. Turn the boom and the feed to the right extreme position and tram the feed to the rear position
using the feed extension.
2. Turn off the diesel engine and turn the ignition key to the position STOP and the main switch to
the position OFF.
3. Attach the lifting equipment carefully to the lifting points of the rig.
• The lifting points of the rig are located on the tracks and on the top cover.
4. Lift the rig slowly in order to check that the rig is balanced.
5. Move the hanging rig with slow and steady movements.
• Do not lift the rig unnecessarily high.
6. When lowering the rig, ensure that you can see the landing point at all times.
• If necessary, ask somebody to check the other side of the rig.
7. Detach the lifting equipment when the rig has been lowered to the ground.

dh350 MAINTENANCE MANUAL

7.4.1. Load lifting

Most countries have regulations concerning lifting, lifting wires, and lifting devices. These local safety
regulations must always be followed.

• Use only an appropriate lifting device type with sufficient lifting capacity. Neither the rig nor its
components may be lifted with devices other than those designed for lifting purposes. Do not use,
for instance, a loader for lifting.
• The weight of the load must be known, and the capacity of the lifting device, as specified by the
manufacturer, must not be exceeded.
• Lifting routes should be chosen so that
- the load is not lifted over people
- the load is not lifted over areas where people may be present
• Before lifting, check that the lifting device is in good condition.
• The lifting wires and chains must be checked regularly. Discarded wires must be marked clearly
and removed from use immediately.
• The lifting points of drilling rigs are marked with adhesive labels as shown below. Only lift the rig
from these points.

• Make sure that the load is properly attached and balanced. To check the fastening and balance, lift
the load by just a few centimeters initially. Do not continue lifting until you are certain that the
fastening and balance are good.
• Lifting wires consisting of many parts may not be twisted. Lifting ropes must be fastened according
to the manufacturer's instructions.

Incorrect Correct

192 (232) Copyright © Sandvik Mining and Construction


MAINTENANCE MANUAL dh350
• Never loop the lifting wire around the load. Always use a proper lifting strap or chain.

Incorrect Correct

• Do not lower the load more than is necessary. At least two loops of wire must be left on the reel.
This way, you can make sure that the weight of the load is evenly distributed between the wire and
its fixing point on the reel.
• Never stand or work under a hanging load.
• Check the capacity and length of the wire whenever the wire or mast length is altered.
• Do not estimate lifting capacity on the basis of stability.
• Never lift a load over people.
• Take care that the load does not bump into anything.
• When lifting personnel, only use lifting devices that are purpose-built for lifting people. Never lift
people with lifting devices that are not designed for that purpose. Drilling rig booms are not designed
for lifting people!
• It is strictly forbidden to carry people on the load.

Rig

• Wash the rig if it has been in use or has been transported by sea. Use a high-pressure steam
washer.
• Empty the water circuit and blow some anti-freeze agent into it (an anticorrosive agent).
• Lubricate the rig (all greasing points).
• Lift the rig with the jacks (if the rig is equipped with jacks).
• Tilt the feed's front end downward.
• Empty the rock drill's pressure accumulators and prominently hang a sign informing other personnel
of this (the pressure accumulators must be filled before the drilling rig is used).
• Protect all hydraulic cylinder piston rods with grease.
• Empty the water separator.
• Replace all lubricants and fluids, which may have deteriorated in use.
• Protect all electrical devices from corrosion so that there will be no contact failures.

RISK OF DAMAGING THE RIG!


Too high a humidity level in the storage location could damage
the rig.
Ensure that the storage space does not collect water, that the
humidity will not become too high, and that the location is
otherwise protected from the elements.
Protect the electrical connections in accordance with the
instructions set 571: “Protecting electrical and electronic
components and connectors with protective agents”.

Proceed as specified in instructions set 571, and use a suitable protective agent to protect, for
example, the following points:
- coupling box connections
- screw terminals of the multi-pole switches
- battery terminals
- multi-pole switch coupling contacts
- contacts of the connecting caps of magnetic valves, pressure switches, and corresponding parts
(fill the caps with grease)
