2 SAFETY
2.1 Safety
WARNING
IGNORING INSTRUCTIONS HAZARD!
False service and repair methods could cause death or severe injury.
Always follow the safety instructions and be careful with your work.
Only people who have been given specific service training are
allowed to undertake service, adjustment and repair procedures.
Read the instructions before undertaking any servicing, adjusting or
repairing.
Read the adjusting instructions for the control panel before making
any adjustments to it.
WARNING
HYDRAULIC FLUID INJECTION HAZARD!
High-pressure hydraulic fluid sprays can penetrate the skin and
could cause death or severe injury.
Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard or wood. Never try to
locate a leak by feeling with your hand. Seek immediate medical
attention if you are hit by a hydraulic fluid spray.
WARNING
BURN HAZARD!
Contact with the hot oil circulating in the hydraulic systems could
cause death or severe injury.
Let the oil cool down before starting any maintenance work.
WARNING! ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD!

Incorrect disposal of used parts and fluids could cause damage to
the environment.
Dispose of used parts and fluids in accordance with the local
environmental regulations.
See the general safety instructions for maintenance-related
environmental protection measures.
RISK OF DAMAGING THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM!

Absolute cleanliness must be observed when dismantling and
NOTICE assembling hydraulic equipment. Use pressurized air to blow all
parts clean, and wipe them with CLEAN non-fluffy cloth before
assembling.

3.2 Drilling joystick

The drilling joystick controls all the functions needed in drilling. All functions
are hydraulically pilot controlled by the control pressure from the joystick.
The control pressure value changes with the joystick movements so that
the pressure increases as the inclination angle of the stick increases.
The electric switches on the stick are used for steering the control pressure
in a desired way, or affect the locking of the stick by releasing the locking
electromagnets.

Oil preheating is used before starting to drill in cold operating environment.
It raises the oil temperature high enough to avoid problems caused by cold
oil. Drilling is not allowed until oil viscosity is 1000 cSt or lower (ref. oil
recommendation).
When the switch (S6) in the cabin is turned on, the coil a of the directional
valve (206) becomes activated. The oil produced by the rotation pump (50)
flows now through the pressure relief valve (209) into the tank.
LS signal is directed through the shuttle valve (218) to the regulator of the
pump (50).
6.2 Free circulation

Free circulation means a situation where the variable displacement pumps
(1) and (50) have minimum output and maintain a 25 bar stand-by
pressure. None of the functions using their output is in operation.
The output oil from the pump (80) flows through the dust collector motor
(82) or the dust collector selector valve (81) into the tank.
The output oil from the side pump (90) flows through the cooler motor (120)
into the tank.
The oil from the pump (361) flows either through the engine radiator's
proportional pressure-relief valve (355) or the radiator motor (357) to the
receiver.The oil flow from the transfer gearbox's cooling-circulation pump
(353) flows through the cooling core (358) back to the transfer gearbox.
6.3 Drilling
Drilling is started with low feed speed, feed pressure and percussion
pressure. Drilling joystick is used for controlling the speed of collaring
(starting of drilling).
1. Rotation. Rotation is started by turning the joystick to the left. Rotation
speed exceeds as the joystick is turned further. Fast rotation is started by
pushing the button 1 (S21) on the joystick.
2. Percussion. Percussion minimum power starts simultaneously with
rotation when the joystick is turned to the left. At the same time flushing
starts from percussion pressure switch if the switch S18 is not in the
middle position. Rattling with max. percussion pressure starts when the
button 2 (S22) on the joystick is pushed.
3. Feed. Feed starts when the joystick is pushed forwards. Feed speed
grows as the joystick is pushed further. Locking is released by pushing
the button 4 (S20). Fast feed starts when the button 1 (S21) on the
joystick is pushed.

When the drilling joystick is turned to the left, the pilot control valve for
rotation (14) at the joystick opens and directs pressure to port C of the
directional valve for rotation (53). Control pressure that regulates the rock
drill rotation speed is adjusted with the valve (59).
From the pump (50), oil flows through the compensator (52) and the
rotation directional valve (53) to the rotation motor (54). From the rotation
motor oils flows back to the valve (53) and on to the receiver. Control
pressure for the anti-jamming valve is taken with a T-adapter in the
pressure line before the rotation motor.
Rotation circuit maximum pressure is adjusted with the pressure relief valve
of the pump (50) regulator. The pressure relief valve (55) and the valve (56)
act as a safety system in the rotation circuit; their opening pressure is
higher than that of the pressure relief valve of the pump regulator. In the
load sensing line of the rotation directional valve (53) A-port there is a LS-
pressure relief valve (60),which is used to control the pressure when
closing the thread. Maximum pressure for thread opening is adjusted with
the LS-pressure relief valve (61) in port B.
LS signal to the rotation pump (50) comes from valve (53) through a series
of shuttle valves.
6.4.2 Fast rotation
When the button 1 (S21) on the joystick is pushed down (and is kept
pushed down) the valve (58) spool is activated. When the joystick is turned
to the left, the pilot control valve (14) opens and pilot control pressure is
adjusted to its maximum value, which is the set value of the valve (43).
Maximum rotation speed is reached.

ID: BG00308654 en-US A.001.1 2014-04-16
When the drilling joystick is pushed forwards, the feed pilot control valve
(16) at the joystick opens and directs pressure to the port D of the feed
directional valve (23). Control pressure, which determines the maximum
feed speed, is regulated with the pressure relief valve (39).
From the pump (1) oil flows through the compensator (22) and feed
directional valve (23) to the feed motor (28). From there the oil flows trough
the overcenter valve (31) back to the valve (23) and further on to the
receiver. From the feed pressure line oil is taken via shuttle valve (44) to
the feed motor brake releasing port. Brake will open before the feed
overcenter valve (31) allows feed downwards movement to start.
LS signal from the feed directional valve (23) goes through the shuttle
valves (27) and (26) to the valve (20). Feed max. pressure is adjusted with
the valve (20) which affects also the pressure compensator (22). From the
valve (20) oil flows to the feed motor (28) return line and through the valve
(23) on to the receiver.
The pressure relief valves (24) and (25) work as a safety system in the feed
circuit.
LS signal to the feed pump (1) is received from the valve (23) through the
shuttle valves (27), (26), (10) and (18).

The valve (41) spool is activated when the push button 1 (S21) at the
joystick is pushed down (and kept there). When the joystick is pushed
forwards, the feed pilot control valve (16) opens.
When the joystick is pushed further forwards, the valve (16) supplies pilot
control pressure that is proportional to the angle of the joystick. The
pressure affects port D of the feed valve (23). Maximum pilot control
pressure equals to the set value of the valve (43).
Pilot control pressure changes the position of the valve (32) and feed
pressure regulation with the valve (20) stops. Pressure relief valve (29)
determines the feed maximum pressure.
Fast rotation and fast feed forwards can be used simultaneously.

The valve (40) spool is activated when the push button 1(S21) at the
joystick is pushed down (and kept there). When the joystick is pulled
backwards, the feed pilot control valve (33) opens.
When the joystick is pulled further back, the valve (33) supplies pilot control
pressure that is proportional to the angle of the joystick. The pressure
affects port C of the feed valve (23). Maximum pilot control pressure equals
to the set value of the valve (43).
Pressure relief valve (30) determines the feed maximum pressure.

When the drilling joystick is turned to the left, the rotation pilot control valve
(14) at the joystick opens. When the control pressure supplied by the valve
(14) reaches 9 bar, the percussion selector valve (4) opens the control line
of percussion main valve (3) to the receiver; valve (3) opens and minimum-
power percussion starts.
Minimum-power percussion is determined so that signal is taken from the
percussion main flow channel through the restrictor (9) and the flow control
plug (5) to the percussion minimum pressure / follow-up valve (303).
Percussion pressure will assume the set value of the valve.
When the drilling joystick is pushed a little forwards, the feed pilot control
valve (16) at the joystick opens and feed starts. Feed speed (and pressure)
is low thus percussion stays at minimum setting. Percussion pressure stays
at minimum value (=the setting of valve (303)) when feed pressure is lower
than the reference pressure (=the setting of valve (307)). Feed pressure
depends of feed speed, valve (20) is closed.
From pump (1) oil flows through the pressure filter (112) to the percussion
main valve (3) and further to the rock drill percussion mechanism (13) and
then to the receiver.
LS signal is directed from the percussion main flow channel to the pump (1)
regulator through the shuttle valves (10) and (18).

When the drilling joystick is pushed more forwards feed speed and
pressure start to increase. Percussion pressure remains at the minimum
value until feed pressure rises higher than the reference pressure (=the
setting value of the valve (307)). After that percussion switches to the
follow-up mode which means that percussion pressure is set according to
the feed pressure. Percussion pressure is changing two times the change
of feed pressure (valve (303) follow-up ratio is 2:1). Percussion pressure
can rise up to the maximum value which is set by the valve (7).
The adjusting of feed pressure regulating valve (20) has also an influence
to the percussion pressure.
From pump (1) oil flows through pressure filter (112) and percussion main
valve (3) to the rock drill percussion mechanism (13) and further to the
tank.
LS-signal is directed to the pump (1) from the percussion main flow channel
through the orifice (9) and further through the shuttle valves (10) and (18).

6.6.3 Rattling
When the joystick is turned to the right, the joystick pilot control valve (17)
opens. When the control pressure supplied by the valve (17) rises to 9 bar,
the percussion selector valve (4) opens the percussion main valve (3)
control line to the receiver. When the button 2 (S22) is depressed, the spool
of valve (15) is activated and max. percussion starts. Pressure relief valve
(7) determines the percussion pressure.

When the drill steel meets a fissure, rotation becomes more laborious, and
rotation pressure rises. First the increased rotation pressure starts to open
the torque sensing valve (316) whichmeans that part of the oil flow
mentioned to the feed motor (28) is going through valve (316) to the tank
and thereby feed pressure starts to decrease. At the same time increased
rotation pressure starts also to move the spool of anti-jamming valve (34)
which means that feed pilot pressure starts to decrease and thereby oil flow
to the feed circuit is reduced. These two actions reduces feed pressure and
because of feed-percussion follow-up also percussion pressure decreases.
If the rotation pressure continues increasing despite of the reducing of
drilling power, the spool of anti-jamming valve (34) moves finally to the
reverse movement position (see the circuit diagram) and feed reverse
movement starts with adjusted speed. The speed is controlled by pressure
relief valve (72). Feed pressure regulation with the valve (20) stops and LS-
pressure relief valve (30) determines the feed backwards maximum
pressure.
When the rotation pressure reduces lower than the setting of valves (316)
and (34), the torque sensing valve (316) spool closes and the position of
the anti-jamming valve spool changes to feed forwards position. Feed
forwards starts with slow feed speed.

6.8 Threading
Thread opening and closing is controlled with the electric lever (S29).
Rotation is controlled with the valve (93) and feed with the valve (92). The
movements can be adjusted independently. Feed is adjusted to match the
thread pitch. Feed movements are adjusted with double pressure relief
valve (97), rotation is adjusted with pressure reducing valve (95).

pressure relief valve (7) until the percussion pressure reading is at the
desired value. Read the pressure value in the percussion pressure gauge
(11) in cabin or in a pressure gauge mounted to the measuring point (M1)
of the drilling control block.
4. Tighten the locking nut of the pressure relief valve (7).
5. Return the joystick to the middle position.

7.10 Adjusting reference pressure valve (307)
307
The reference pressure is setting the feed pressure value where percussion
switches from percussion minimum pressure to feed-percussion follow up-
mode. So if the feed pressure is lower than the reference pressure,
percussion stays at minimum pressure (=the setting of valve (303)) and
when feed pressure is higher than the reference pressure, percussion
pressure is controlled according to feed pressure (= follow up-mode). The
setting value of the reference pressure varies typically between 35 and 85
bars but the final adjustment of the valve should be done during drilling
according to the used drilling parameters (maximum feed and percussion
pressure values). Before the adjustment of the reference pressure valve
(307) the used maximum values of feed and percussion pressures should
be selected and set.
2. Push the drilling joystick to run the rock drill against the front stopper.
3. Open the locking nut of the reference pressure valve (307) and fully open
(counterclockwise) the adjusting screw.
4. Turn the drilling joystick to the drilling position so that both holding
magnets lock up. Now the feed and percussion pressures should be at
the maximum value (=the setting values of valves (20) and (7)).
ID: BG00308654 en-US A.001.1 2014-04-16
5. Start to increase the setting of the reference pressure valve (307) by

turning the adjusting screw clockwise. Increase the setting until the
percussion pressure starts to decrease (see the percussion pressure
gauge (11) in cabin).
6. When this setting value of the reference pressure is found tighten the
locking nut of the valve (307).
7. Check the setting by adjusting feed pressure lower by feed pressure
regulating valve (20). Percussion pressure should decrease immediately
when feed pressure is decreased.
7.11 Feed pressure regulating valve (20)
20
X
32
T1
T2
Feed pressure is adjusted with the feed pressure regulating valve (20) in
the cabin. This valve is used for adjusting feed pressure to suit the rock
type when the feed movement pilot control valve (16) is activated. In
addition to this, the line A of the feed directional valve (23) has an
adjustable feed LS-pressure regulating valve (30) and the line B with an
adjustable feed LS-pressure regulating valve (29).
When drilling with feed-precussion follow-up on, adjustments of the feed
pressure regulating valve (20) also affect to the percussion pressure
through the valve (303).

7.12 Adjustment of maximum pressure for fast forward feed (valve 29)
and the adjustment of feed orifice (301)
29
301
The adjustment of fast forward feed is done with the pressure relief valve
(29) in the LS B port of the feed directional valve (23). Its maximum set
value is 150–180 bar.
1. Start the diesel engine and;
a) turn feed beam to vertical position
b) drive rock drill against front stopper
c) adjust feed pressure to 100 bar with feed pressure setting valve
(20).
2. Drive the rock drill to the rear stopper and start drilling (rotation,
percussion and feed forwards) by turning drilling joystick to 11 o'clock
position.
3. Measure feed forwards maximum speed during drilling, it must be 4,0 m/
min.
Check speed eg. from the TIM or measure 2,0 meters from the feed
beam, the rock drill must travell this distance within 30 seconds. If neede
adjust speed to 4,0 m/min with valve (39), it is located behind the seat on
the right panel behind a panel. Turn valve (39) CW to increase the
speed. Recheck the speed by centering drilling joystick and starting
drilling again.
4. Drive the rock drill against the front stopper.
5. Open fully (CCW) feed pressure setting valve (20) in the cabin.
6. Open the locking nut of the feed restrictor (301) and adjust valve fully
closed (CW).
ID: BG00308654 en-US A.001.1 2014-04-16
7. Check the feed pressure against the front stopper while valve (20) is fully
open.
Typically pressure is about 10 bar; feed pressure gauge (21).
8. Keep feed forwards activated and ask an assistant to open (CCW) feed
restrictor (301) so much that feed pressure increases 25-30 bar.
For example if the pressure is 10 bar when valve (301) is fully closed,
open valve (301) until the feed pressure is 35-40 bar (25-30 bar more
compared to the pressure when valve (301) is fully closed). Typically
valve (301) must open 1,75-2,25 rounds from fully closed position to
increase the feed pressure needed 25-30 bar. Tighten the locking nut of
valve (301).
9. Keep feed forwards activated and fully close (CW) setting of valve (20).
If now the feed pressure is lower than 130 bar, remove the protection cap
of the LSB pressure relief valve (29) and increase the setting (CW) of the
valve (29) until the feed pressure shows 130 bar. If the feed pressure is
higher than 130 bar, decrease the setting (CCW) of valve (29) until the
feed pressure shows 130 bar.
10. Activate the rapid feed forwards against the front stopper by keeping
drilling joystick in front position and at the same time pressing the fast
feed button (S21).
11. Check the feed pressure from the pressure gauge (21), it can not be
more than 180 bar.
If the rapid feed pressure is lower (eg. 150-170 bar) leave the
adjustments of valve (29) to this value. If rapid feed pressure is higher
than 180 bar adjust feed restrictor (301) a bit close (CW) max 1/8-round
at a time until the rapid feed pressure is max. 180 bar.
12. Release drilling joystick and rapid feed button (S21), activate again feed
forwards against front stopper (valve (20) still fully closed) and check
that pressure is 130 bar.
After this check that when activating the rapid feed (S21) feed pressure
is not over 180 bar.
13. Replace the cap on the pressure relief valve (29).
The target of above described settings is that:

• with normal feed against front stopper while valve (20) is fully open the
feed pressure is about 35-40 bar. If on item 11. feed restrictor is adjusted
a bit close this pressure might be a little bit lower (about 30-35 bar)
• with normal feed against front stopper while valve (20) is fully closed the
feed pressure is 130 bar
• with rapid feed against front stopper the feed pressure dose not exceed
180 bar. Presure (=the setting of valve (29)) should be as low as possible
(about 150-170 bar) but on the other hand so high that with normal feed
130 bar is reached with valve (20).

7.13 Adjustment of maximum pressure for fast feed backwards (valve

30)
30
The adjustment of fast feed backwards is done with the pressure relief
valve (30) in the LS A port of the feed directional valve (23). Its set value is
180 bar.
1. Remove the cap from the LS A pressure relief valve (30) of the feed
valve.
3. Pull the drilling joystick backwards to start feed movement and run the
rock drill against the rear stopper.
4. Hold the joystick in the rear position while an assistant makes the
adjustment.
5. Adjust the valve (30) so that the feed pressure gauge (21) in cabin shows
180 bar.
7. Replace the cap on the pressure relief valve (30).
7.14 Adjusting fast feed maximum speed backwards/forwards

The maximum speed of fast feed can be adjusted with the feed main spool
stroke limiters at the mechanical activating module of the feed directional
valve (23). The lower screw (1) sets the maximum feed speed upwards
(port A) and the upper screw (2) downwards (port B). The factory settings
of the screws are such that fast feed speed is fast enough but not too fast
to avoid mechanical damages in case when drifter is run against front/rear
stopper with full speed.
ID: BG00308654 en-US A.001.1 2014-04-16
1. Remove the drill rod from the rock drill.

2. Open the locking nut of the adjusting screw.
4. Run the rock drill to the rear position.
5. Put fast feed forwards on and adjust the screw 2 so that the duration of
the movement between rear and front stopper is about 6 seconds. Close
the locking nut of the adjusting screw.
6. Put fast feed backwards on and adjust the screw 1 so that the duration of
the movement between front and rear stopper is about 6 seconds. Close
the locking nut of the adjusting screw.
7. Test the adjustment by running the rock drill forwards with the fast feed;
duration of the movement between rear and front stopper should be
about 6 seconds.
8. Repeat the movement backwards; duration should be about 6 seconds.
7.15 Adjusting maximum feed speed for drilling (valve 39)
39
ID: BG00308654 en-US A.001.1 2014-04-16
The maximum feed speed for drilling means the highest speed at which the
bit moves across a cavity encountered in drilling. This speed must be
higher than the speed at which the drill rod penetrates the rock with normal
drilling settings but, however, as low as possible to prevent the drill bit from
hitting the bottom of the cavity with high speed. Typically the maximum feed
speed during drilling is set to 3,0–4,0 m/min. The typical set value of the
valve (39) is 13–14 bar that can be measured at the drilling block's
measuring point M10.
Model Factory setting
DX700 4,0 m/min (13-14 bar)
DX780 4,0 m/min (13-14 bar)
DX800 4,0 m/min (13-14 bar)
1. Turn the feed to the vertical position.

2. Remove the cover plate of valve 39 from behind the seat and open the
valve's adjusting screw lock nut.
3. Move the rock drill against stopper and adjust feed pressure to 100 bar
with valve (20).
4. Drive the rock drill against the rear stopper by pulling the drilling joystick
backward.
5. Switch on drilling forward (percussion, feed, rotation).
6. Measure the rock drill's feed speed (e.g., a 2-meter distance / 30
seconds) or read the speed from the TIM display. If the feed speed is not
4,0 m/min increase speed by turning valve 39 (CW) or decrease speed
by turning valve 39 (CCW).
7. Stop the drilling by centering the drilling joystick and, after the
adjustment, check the speed by switching the drilling on again. If the
speed is now 4.0 m/min, the adjustment is correct.
8. Tighten the lock nut of valve 39 and reinstall the cover plate.

7.16 Adjusting the overcenter valve of feed forwards (valve 31)
31
The right setting of the feed overcenter valve (31) is very important for feed
function as well for the collaring. The setting must be higher than the
opening pressure of the feed brake (integrated to the feed motor) and on
the other hand it should be as low as possible to avoid problems during
collaring (too high feed/percussion pressure).
Adjust the overcenter valve (31) as follows:
1. Open the locking nut of the valve (31).
2. Turn the setting screw first fully closed (clockwise) and then open 5 1/4
rounds (counterclockwise).
3. Remove drill rod from the rock drill.
4. Start the diesel engine and turn the feed beam to vertical position.
5. Pull the drilling joystick to run the rock drill to the rear stopper.
6. Push the drilling joystick a little forwards to start the feed forwards with
very slow feed speed and check from the feed pressure gauge (21) that
feed downwards pressure is about 25–30 bar (= correct value).
7. If the feed pressure is not on the right level, re-adjust the feed overcenter
valve (31).

jamming valve (34). The settings of adjustable restrictor (71) and
pressure relief valve (72).
34
71
72
316
S23
S18
S24
The torque sensing valve (316) is decreasing feed forwards pressure when
rotation pressure during drilling is increasing from the typical value. Anti--
jamming valve is doing the reverse movement if the reducing of the drilling
power has not ‘stabilized’ the rotation torque. After feed reverse movement
the collaring is done smoothly.
1. Drive the drifter against the front stopper, add a coupling sleeve to the
drifter shank or use a MF-rod and close the PITO-centralizer.
2. Select following functions from the control panel: anti-jamming on (S 24
front position), forced flushing on (S 23 rear position) and flushing off (S
18 middle position). Press also once the drilling joystick button 3 (S 19) to
deactivate percussion.
ID: BG00308654 en-US A.001.1 2014-04-16
3. First fully open (counterclockwise) the setting of anti-jamming valve (34)

and then close the setting 10 rounds.
4. First fully close (counterclockwise) the setting of torque sensing valve
(316) and then open the setting (clockwise) 1,5 rounds.
The setting screw of valve (316) has a left hand thread.
NOTICE
5. Fully open (counterclockwise) the setting of rotation speed valve (59) in
cabin.
6. Put the feed forwards on and adjust the feed pressure by valve (20) to a
typical maximum value, e.g. 110 bar (the value which is used during full
power drilling).
7. Put the rotation and feed on by turning the drilling joystick to 11 o’clock
position. Note, that there is no rotation because valve (59) is fully open.
8. Start to increase slowly the setting of valve (59) by turning it clockwise.
When the rotation pressure exceeds 70 bar (see the rotation pressure
gauge (51) in cabin) the torque sensing valve (316) should start to
decrease the feed pressure. If the feed pressure is still at maximum (e.g.
110 bar) decrease the setting of torque sensing valve by turning it
clockwise until the feed pressure starts to decrease. When the setting
point is found, lock the setting and check the function by increasing and
decreasing the rotation pressure by valve (59) around 70 bars. When
rotation pressure rises higher than 70 bars feed pressure should
decrease and when rotation pressure is lower than 70 bars feed pressure
should stay at maximum.
9. Reduce the setting of anti-jamming valve (34) by turning the adjusting
screw 3 rounds counterclockwise. Check the same way as on item 8. that
when rotation pressure exceeds 80 bar anti-jamming valve is activating
the reverse movement to feed (drifter moves backwards and feed
pressure rises to 180 bar). Note that torque sensing valve (316) has
already reduced the feed pressure from maximum value before anti-
jamming valve (34) activates the reverse movement.
10. Adjust the feed speed backwards during anti-jamming by pressure relief
valve (72). Typical setting value for the valve (72) is 12–19 bar
(measuring point M10 at drilling control block). Reverse feed speed
during anti-jamming should be fast enough to release effectively the
force on the drill bit but on the other hand slow enough to avoid too long
reverse pulling.
ID: BG00308654 en-US A.001.1 2014-04-16
11. The adjustable restrictor (71) sets the feed forwards pilot pressure
during anti-jamming action together with anti-jamming valve (34). This
means that depending of the setting of valve (71) the feed speed after
retrack movement is momentarily slow or little faster. The higher is the
setting of valve (71) (= more open is the adjusting screw from the fully
closed position) the faster is the feed speed. Note, that this ‘collaring
speed’ after retrack movement is anyway slower than the feed
maximum speed set by valve 39. Typical setting for the valve (71) is 2–
3 rounds open from fully closed position.
The setting of valve (71) must be at least 2 rounds open from fully
closed position, otherwise feed forwards movement will stop
working (no oil is going to the feed pilot circuit after valve (71))
12. If the typical rotation pressure is higher (e.g. 60–70 bar) the setting
values of torque sensing valve (316) and anti-jamming valve (34) should
be adjusted higher so that the settings are not ‘disturbing’ the normal
drilling.
7.18 Adjusting the rock drill rotation speed (valve 59)

59
The rotation speed of the rock drill is adjusted with the rotation speed
adjusting valve (59). The valve is located in the cabin, on the operator’s
right side. Turning the adjusting knob counterclockwise lowers and turning
it clockwise increases the rotation speed of the drill bit. The correct rotation
speed depends on the rock type and the diameter of the drill bit. Sandvik
recommends the following rotation speeds for drill bits of different
diameters:
Drill bit size (mm) Drill bit size (in) Rotatin speed (r/m)
78 3.0 100...140
89 3.5 100...120
102 4.0 80...120

95
97A
97B
Thread opening, feed speed adjusting by relief valve 97B.

Thread closing, feed speed adjusting by relief valve 97A.
Feed speed for threading is adjusted by the double pressure relief valve
(97A/B) and rotation speed by pressure reducing valve (95). Adjust first
rotation pressure reducing valve (95) fully close (clockwise). Next adjust the
feed speed by valve (97A/B) to correspond to the pitch of the thread.
A screw driver, for example, can be used for checking the adjustments (see
picture). When threading, the screw driver should stay in position. If it
moves upwards when thread is opening, feed is too fast . If the screw driver
moves downwards, feed is too slow. Feed speed is increasing when turning
setting screw 97A/B clockwise.
Check the adjustment by threading a rod into the sleeve.

8 HYDRAULIC OIL FILTRATION SYSTEM

8.1 Hydraulic oil filtration system
The system comprises pressure and return flow filtration. Pressure filtration
is only in the circuit of the pump (1), but return flow filtration is provided for
all pumps.
The pressure filter (112) has a cartridge type replaceable filter element (20
μm abs).
If the pressure difference over the filter rises higher than 2.5 bar, an
indicator light in the instrument panel goes on. It indicates that the filter
element should be replaced.
The filter body is also equipped with a bypass valve that open if the
pressure difference over the filter rises higher than 3.5 bar.
When the rig is started in cold weather, the filter service indicator
may illuminate several minutes before going off. The reason for this
NOTICE is that stiff, cold oil raises the pressure difference over the filter
higher than the set value of the pressure switch in the filter body.
The light should go off as the oil warms up.
The return oil filter (113) filters the return oils of all pumps. It is of a tank-top
type, which means that it is located inside the hydraulic oil tank.
It is equipped with a 12 μm (abs) replaceable filter element. The pressure
switch (118) for the return oil filter is located on the collector tube and it
indicates when the filter element should be replaced. If the pressure
difference over the filter rises above 2 bar, the service indicator in the
instrument panel goes on. The filter body is also provided with a bypass
valve that opens if the pressure difference over the filter exceeds 2.4 bar.

9 OIL COOLING SYSTEM

9.1 Oil cooling system
The oil returning from the various devices is collected to the hot side of the
collector tube (115) on the side of the oil tank (except ’leakage oil’ that runs
directly into the tank through adapters (119) in the side of the tank).
The collector tube comprises:
• Two thermostats (117) with the purpose to direct oil either directly from
the hot side to the cold side and then into tank or through the oil cooler.
The closing value of the thermostats is 52° C.
• Two pressure relief valves integrated to the thermostat with the purpose
to protect the cooler from too high pressures. When open, the pressure
relief valves let the oil flow from the hot side of the collector tube to the
cold side.
• Pressure switch (118) for return oil filter service indicator.
• A pressure gauge (121) that indicates the return oil pressure in the
collector tube.
• A non-return valve through which supplementary oil is pumped into the
hydraulic oil tank with a hand pump.
From the collector tube, oil flows either through the open thermostat to the
tank or, when the thermostat is closed, through the oil cooler (114).
Oil returns from the oil cooler to the cold side of the collector tube and flow
then through the return oil filter (113) into the tank.
The oil cooler (114) is used for cooling down both hydraulic and
compressor oil. The rotation speed of the cooling fan motor can be adjusted
with an one-way restrictor valve (116) mounted to the side of the motor.
Adjustments may be needed in cold climates, for instance, to get the oil up
to normal working temperature as quickly as possible.
The compressor circuit oil should especially be warmed up to normal
temperature as quickly as possible. This is important because the oil
circulation in the compressor relies on pressure difference. The colder the
oil is the more difficult oil circulation becomes. This may result in
compressor overheating which triggers the thermal protector.

normal 25 bar value, the fault is probably in the adjustments of the pump
flow regulator A or its sticking. Adjust the pump’s (1) or (50) stand-by
pressure according to instructions.
4. If the remedies above (3) did not correct the fault, clean the flow regulator
A or replace the whole regulator unit, Readjustment of the regulator is
done according to adjusting instructions.
Faults of pump (1), not related to regulator

If the pump’s regulator is working, but the pressure deviates from 25 bar:
1. Check that the main pressure relief valve (138) of the tramming valve
(135) is working properly at 320 bar (fixed setting).
Faults of pump (50), not related to regulator
If the pump’s regulator is working, but the pressure deviates from the 25
bar setting, it is likely that a valve is open to the tank because of too slack
setting of spring, or because a valve solenoid is live.
1. Check that the pressure relief valve (55) is set to 290 bar. If necessary,
readjust the valve according to adjusting instructions.
10.3 Troubleshooting for percussion

Percussion pump (1) output can be tested by tramming the rig because the
drive motors get the required volume flow from the same pump (1).
Pressure can be measured at point M1 at drilling control block.
ID: BG00308654 en-US A.001.1 2014-04-16
10.3.1 Percussion not working at all

1. If the percussion pressure gauge (11) shows a reading but the
percussion mechanism (13) does not work when the drilling joystick is in
the drilling position, it is likely that the rock drill is damaged.
• Stop the diesel engine.
• Repair or replace the rock drill (see rock drill maintenance
instructions).
2. If the percussion pressure gauge (11) shows no reading when the drilling
joystick is in the drilling position, the percussion on/off valve (242) might
be activated (press once the push button 3 (S19) in drilling joystick to
deactivate valve (242)) or the problem might be on pilot pressure side or
the percussion main valve (3) or the percussion selector valve (4) is
sticking.
• Check the pilot pressure from drilling control block M9. When drilling
joystick is turned fully to the left, the pilot pressure at M9 must be at
least 11–12 bar to activate valve (4). If the pilot pressure is lower,
adjust it higher by turning valve (59) clockwise.
• If the pilot pressure at M9 is close to 0 bar when drilling joystick is
turned to the left check following items:
- Activate the fast feed button 1 (S21) in drilling joystick. If the
pilot pressure at M9 now increases to 25– 30 bar, the rotation
speed adjusting valve (59) is stuck to open position. Clean or
replace the valve (59).
- The ø 1,0 mm orifice at drilling joystick port 4 is blocked. Clean
it.
• Clean and repair, or replace the faulty valve (valve (3) and/or (4)).
3. If the percussion pressure gauge (11) shows a reading close to 25 bar
when the drilling joystick is in the drilling position, it is likely that the
restrictor (9) in the LS line is blocked (restrictor (9) is located in drilling
control block). Check the restrictor as follows:
• Remove the restrictor (9) and check it. Clean the restrictor hole.
- Carefully install the restrictor (9) back. Remember the correct
tightening torque (9 Nm).
ID: BG00308654 en-US A.001.1 2014-04-16
10.3.2 Percussion does not stop at all

1. The valve (3) or (4) is sticking. Check the valves as follows:
• Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M9 at drilling control
block.
• Start the diesel.
• If there is no pressure at the measuring point M9, it is likely that
either valve (3) or valve (4) is sticking. Check the valves as follows:
- Stop the diesel engine.
- Clean and repair, or replace the faulty valve.
• If there is pressure at the measuring point M9, it is likely that the
drilling joystick valve is sticking (leaking). Check its operation as
follows:
- Replace the joystick valve or a part of it.
ID: BG00308654 en-US A.001.1 2014-04-16
10.3.3 Percussion pressure too high during collaring (percussion minimum power)
1. If the percussion pressure during collaring is too high (>80 bar), check
the adjustment of the percussion minimum pressure /follow-up valve
(303) according to the instructions in this manual. If the valve (303) is not
working, it must be cleaned and repaired, or replaced.
2. If the pressure level is not correct despite the above remedies, the
reason may also be that the LS restrictor (9) has loosened. The tightness
of the restrictor (9) in the drilling control block is checked as follows:
- Remove the cap from the restrictor.
- Check that the restrictor (9) is tightened to correct torque (9 Nm).
- Replace the cap and tighten it.
3. Too high percussion pressure during collaring might be caused by wrong
setting of the feed overcenter valve (31) or reference pressure valve
(307).
- Check the setting of the feed overcenter valve by turning the feed
beam to vertical position, drive the rock drill to rear position, switch on
percussion and rotation by turning the drilling joystick to the left. Then
push the drilling joystick slightly forward so that feed downward barely
starts. Check that the reading on the feed pressure gauge (21) is 25–
30 bar (= setting value of overcenter valve 31).
- If the feed pressure is higher than 25–30 bar, check the setting of
feed overcenter valve (31).
- If the feed pressure is still higher than 25–30 bar, check the
mechanical parts of feed (drifter cradle wear pieces, hose reel, chain
tightness etc.).
- If the feed pressure is at right level (25–30 bar) but percussion
pressure still at too high level (> 80 bar) when drilling downwards
without any rock resistance, check the setting of reference pressure
valve (307) according to the instructions in this manual.
- If the reference pressure can’t be set correctly, clean, repair or
ID: BG00308654 en-US A.001.1 2014-04-16
10.3.4 Percussion pressure too low during collaring (percussion minimum power)
1. If the percussion pressure during collaring is too low (<80 bar), check the
adjustment of the percussion minimum pressure/follow-up valve (303)
according to the instructions in this manual. If the valve (303) is not
working, it must be cleaned and repaired, or replaced.
2. If the pressure level is not correct despite the above remedies, the
reason may also be that the LS restrictor (9) in the drilling control block is
blocked. The restrictor (9) is checked as follows:
- Remove the restrictor (9) from the bottom of the bore.
- Clean the restrictor hole, if necessary.
- Install the restrictor (9) back and tighten it to correct torque (9 Nm).
10.3.5 Percussion pressure rises too high in feed-percussion follow-up
1. If the setting of the reference pressure valve (307) is not correct (the
setting is too low), check the adjustment of the valve (307) according to
these instructions. If the reference pressure valve (307) is not working, it
must be cleaned and repaired, or replaced.
2. If the pressure level is not corrected by the above remedies, the reason
may also be that the LS restrictor (9) has loosened. Check the tightness
of the restrictor (9) on the drilling control block as follows:
• Remove the cap from the restrictor.
• Check that the restrictor (9) is tightened to correct torque (9 Nm).
• Replace the cap and tighten it.
3. Too high percussion pressure may also result if the coil of the valve (15)
is live. In this situation, feed-percussion follow-up is not working at all and
the valve (7) determines percussion pressure (= max. percussion
pressure). Carry on as follows:
• Switch feed–percussion follow-up on with the switch (S23) in the
cabin and check that the follow-up function works during drilling. If it
is not working, the reason may be that the valve (15) is sticking or
the electric control circuit of the valve is not working properly. In that
case, follow these instructions:
- Stop the diesel.
- Check the electric control circuit of the valve (15).
- Remove the valve (15) and clean and repair, or replace it.
4. Check the feed pressure in use. Drilling with overfeed will raise
percussion pressure higher than the normal level.
5. Check the adjustment value of valve 7 (maximum percussion pressure).
This valve can be used for limiting the maximum percussion pressure
used.
ID: BG00308654 en-US A.001.1 2014-04-16
10.3.6 Percussion pressure remains too low in feed-percussion follow-up

1. If the setting of the reference pressure valve (307) is not correct (the
setting is too high), check the adjustment of the valve (307) according to
these instructions. If the reference pressure valve (307) is not working, it
must be cleaned and repaired, or replaced.
may also be that the LS restrictor (9) is blocked. Check the restrictor (9)
on the drilling control block as follows:
- Clean the restrictor hole as necessary.
- Install the restrictor (9) back into the bore and tighten it to correct
torque (9 Nm).
3. Check the feed pressure in use. Drilling with underfeed will leave
percussion pressure lower than the normal level.
4. Check the setting of the percussion max. pressure relief valve (7)
according to these instructions. If the valve (7) is set for too low pressure
level , it cuts percussion pressure to the setting value although feed
pressure still could raise percussion pressure higher.
5. Check the maximum feed speed during drilling. Drive the drifter
backwards, put the drilling on and check that the ‘free’ feed speed is 3,0
– 4,0 m/min. If the speed is much lower (1,0 – 1,5 m/min), do the
following items:
- Connect a pressure gauge to drilling control block measuring point
M10.
- Drive the drifter against front stopper, put the drilling on and check
that the feed pilot pressure at M10 is 13–14 bar.
- If the pressure is lower than 13–14 bar, press the fast feed button
(S21) in drilling joystick. If the pressure now rises to 25–30 bar, the
valve (39) is faulty. Clean or replace it.
- If the pilot pressure is still lower than 13-14 bar when the button
(S21) is activated, the low feed pilot pressure might be due to dirt in
the orifice (70) that slows down the dampening piston of the anti-
jamming valve (34). Check that the orifice (70) is not blocked (see the
picture of the anti-jamming valve, chapter 4.).
- If the feed pilot pressure is still lower than the setting of valve (39)
check also the adjustable restrictor (71) (port P) at anti-jamming valve
(34) base plate.
ID: BG00308654 en-US A.001.1 2014-04-16
10.3.7 Percussion max. pressure too high

1. If percussion max. pressure is too high, start troubleshooting by checking
the setting of the percussion max. pressure relief valve (7) according to
these instructions. If the valve is not working properly, clean and repair,
or replace it.
2. If the above remedies did not correct the fault, the reason may be that
the restrictor (9) has loosened. Check the tightness of the restrictor (9) on
the drilling control block as follows:
- Check that the restrictor (9) is tightened to correct torque (9 Nm).
10.3.8 Percussion max. pressure level too low
1. If the percussion max. pressure level is too low, start troubleshooting by
checking the adjustment of the percussion max. pressure relief valve (7)
according to the instructions in this manual. If the valve (7) is not working
properly, clean and repair, or replace it.
may also be that the LS restrictor (9) is blocked. Check the restrictor (9)
on the drilling control block as follows:
- Clean the restrictor hole, if necessary.
- Install the restrictor (9) back and tighten it to correct torque (9 Nm).
3. Check the tramming circuit max. pressure relief valve (131) according to
‘Carrier hydraulics’ instructions. A leaking relief valve (131) might cause
problems with percussion max. pressure.
4.
10.4 Troubleshooting for feed functions

Feed pump (1) output can be tested by tramming the rig because the drive
motors get the required volume flow from the same pump (1). Pressure can
be measured at point (M1) in drilling control block. The operation of feed
directional valve (23) can be tested by a hand lever mounted to the valve.
ID: BG00308654 en-US A.001.1 2014-04-16
10.4.1 Feed movement is not working at all

If the feed movement is not working at all, carry out the following remedies:
1. Check the setting of the pilot control circuit pressure regulator (43).
2. Check that the emergency stop valve (241) is active.
If it is not, the feed safety wire has triggered the drilling stop switch,
which has deactivated the valve (241). Release the emergency stop
switch.
The pilot control pressure at the measuring point M10 in drilling control
block is not correct. Carry on as follows:
3. Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M10.
5. Push the drilling joystick to the forward position.
• If the pressure is lower than 13–14 bar, press the fast feed button 1
(S21) in drilling joystick. If the pressure now rises to 25–30 bar, the
valve (39) is faulty. Clean or replace it.
• If the pilot pressure is still lower than 13-14 bar when the button
jamming valve (34). Check that the orifice (70) is not blocked (see
the picture of the anti-jamming valve, chapter 4.).
• If the feed pilot pressure is still lower than the setting of valve (39)
check also the adjustable restrictor (71) (port P) at anti-jamming
valve (34) base plate.
6. Release the drilling joystick to the middle position.
The pressure at the measuring point M10 is correct, but feed
movement still does not work:
9. Check that the lever (hex. bar, see fig.) assembled to the mechanical
activating module of the feed directional valve (23) moves when the
drilling joystick is moved.
If the lever is not moving, the spool is sticking. Clean or replace the spool
as follows:
11. Remove the mechanical activating module of the valve (23).
The spool comes out with the module.
ID: BG00308654 en-US A.001.1 2014-04-16
12. Clean the spool and the valve thoroughly, or replace the spool.
13. Install the spool with the module back into position. Do not use
excessive force or hammer the spool end.
14. Check that the correct feed pressure comes from the ports A and B of
the feed directional valve (23).
The feed forwards pressure is adjusted with the feed pressure
regulating valve (20), fast feed forwards is adjusted with feed LSB-
pressure relief valve (29) and feed backwards with LS A-pressure relief
valve (30).
• If pressures at ports A and B are correct, check that feed motor
brake gets enough pressure to release the brake: min 21 bar /max
200 bar.
• Check that the rock drill carriage, feed chain, or some other
component used for transferring feed movement is not sticking.
• Check that the feed motor is not too badly worn, indicated by
excessive leakage of oil.
15. If there is no pressure at the measuring point M10 it is possible that the
feed control valve (16) of the drilling joystick is faulty. In that case, stop
the diesel and repair the valve (16).
16. Check the shock pressure/suction valves (24) and (25) in feed main
valve, they might be leaking. If needed, clean, repair or replace it.
17. Check the function of torque sensing valve (316). Plug the hose going
to port 1 of valve (316). If now the feed starts to work, clean, repair or
ID: BG00308654 en-US A.001.1 2014-04-16
10.4.2 Drilling feed pressure too low

1. Troubleshooting must be started by checking the operation of the feed
pressure regulating valve (20) as follows:
- Start the diesel engine.
- Run the rock drill against the front stopper.
- Lock the drilling joystick to the drilling position to start percussion/
feed forwards.
- Check the feed pressure adjusting range by turning the adjustment
of the valve (20) from one extreme position to the other, whereby the
feed pressure reading should change between 20 and 130 bar. Read
the pressure in the pressure gauge (21).
- Release the drilling joystick to the middle position.
If the feed pressure regulating valve (20) does not adjust the pressure
between 20 and 130 bar, it is possible that the valve (20) or the feed
motor is faulty. Check the condition of the components as follows:
- Plug the pressure hose to the feed motor.
- Start the diesel engine and check if the valve (20) adjusts between
20 and 130 bar as described above.
- If the valve now adjusts the pressure between 20 and 130 bar, it is
likely that the feed motor is faulty. Repair or replace the motor.
2. If the above remedies do not correct the fault, check that the pilot control
pressure of the joystick is correct. It should be 13-14 bar.
- Install a pressure gauge to the pressure measuring point M10.
- Push the drilling joystick to the forward position.
- If the pressure at measuring point M10 is lower than 13-14 bar,
press the fast feed button 1 (S21) in drilling joystick. If the pressure
now rises to 25–30 bar, the valve (39) is faulty. Clean or replace it.
- If the pilot pressure is still lower than 13-14 bar when push button
jamming valve (34). Check that the orifice (70) is not blocked (see the
picture of the anti-jamming valve, chapter 'Valve blocks'.).
- If the feed pilot pressure is still lower than the setting of valve (39)
check also the adjustable restrictor (71) (port P) at anti-jamming valve
(34) base plate.
- Release the joystick to the middle position.
- Remove the pressure gauge from the measuring point M10.
3. If there is no pressure at the measuring point M10 it is possible that the
feed control valve (16) of the drilling joystick is faulty. In that case, stop
the diesel and repair the valve (16).
ID: BG00308654 en-US A.001.1 2014-04-16
4. Check the setting of anti-jamming valve (34). If the setting is too low, it
will start to decrease the feed pressure during normal drilling.
5. Check the setting of torque sensing valve (316). If the setting is too low, it
will start to decrease the feed pressure during normal drilling.
6. Check the shock pressure/suction valves (24) and (25) in feed main
valve (23), they might be leaking. If needed, clean, repair or replace it.
7. Check the shuttle valve (44) at feed motor counterbalance valve block, it
might be leaking. Clean, repair or replace it.
8. Check the setting of the feed restrictor valve (301). If the setting is
incorrect it may cause low feed pressure. Factory setting for the feed
restrictor is 1,75-2,25 rounds open (ccw) from the fully closed position.
10.4.3 Drilling feed pressure too high
1. Check first that the feed pressure regulating valve (20) is working. If the
valve (20) is unable to adjust between 35 and 130 bar, it is likely that it is
faulty. Repair it as follows:
- Clean and repair, or replace the valve.
2. Check that the control line X of the tank line control valve (32) is not
receiving control pressure during drilling as this would change the
position of the valve (32) so that the pressure of the valve (20) is not
going to the feed tank line but to the pressure line, causing the feed
pressure to rise.
3. Check that the tank pressure at the T1 port of the feed regulating valve
(20) control block is not unusually high during drilling (should be below 5
bar).
4. Check the setting of the feed restrictor valve (301). If the setting is
incorrect it may cause high feed pressure. Factory setting for the feed
restrictor is 1,75-2,25 rounds open (ccw) from the fully closed position.
ID: BG00308654 en-US A.001.1 2014-04-16
10.4.4 Fast feed not working

1. Check the setting of the pilot control circuit pressure regulator (43).
2. Check that emergency stop valve (241) is active. If it is not, the feed
safety wire has triggered the drilling stop switch, which has deactivated
the valve (241). Release the drilling stop switch.
3. The pilot control pressure at the drilling control block measuring point
M10 is not correct. Carry on as follows:
• Install a pressure gauge to the pressure measuring point M10.
• Start the diesel engine.
• Remove the drill rod.
• Move the drilling joystick fully forwards and backwards while
depressing the fast feed button 1 (S21).
• If the max. pressure at the measuring point M10 is not 30 bar, check
the following:
- Check that the drilling joystick gives out 30 bar pilot control
pressure. If not, replace or repair the valve.
- If the max. pressure is only 13–14 bar check that the coil of the
valve (41) is activated while depressing the fast feed button 1
(S21). If not activated, check wiring and electric connections. If
activated, clean, repair or replace the valve (41).
• Release the drilling joystick to the middle position.
• Remove the pressure gauge from the measuring point M10.
4. The pilot control pressure at the measuring point M10 is correct, but the
feed pressure gauge shows no reading. The most likely reason for this is
that the spool of the valve (23) is sticking. Check the operation as
follows:
• Remove the mechanical activating module of the valve (23). The
spool comes out with the module.
• Clean the spool and the valve thoroughly.
• Reinstall the spool.
5. Fast feed maximum pressure adjustments are incorrect.
• Adjust the LS B valve (29) and the LS A valve (30).
ID: BG00308654 en-US A.001.1 2014-04-16
10.4.5 Fast feed movement too slow

1. Start troubleshooting by checking the pilot control pressure of the feed
control spool (23). Check it as follows:
• Install a pressure gauge to the pressure measuring point M10.
• Remove the drill rod.
• Move the drilling joystick fully forwards and backwards while
depressing the fast feed button 1 (S21).
2. If the max. pressure reading is 30 bar, it is likely that the fault is caused
by incorrect adjustment of fast feed maximum speed or maximum
pressure. Check the adjustments as follows:
• Run the rock drill against the rear stopper and hold the joystick in this
position while holding the fast feed button 1 (S21) down.
• If the reading in the feed pressure gauge (21) is 180 bar (correct
value), it is likely that the fast feed speed is incorrectly adjusted.
Adjust the fast feed speed.
• If the fast feed backwards maximum pressure setting is not 180 bar,
adjust the pressure. If the pressure cannot be adjusted correctly, the
likely reason is that either the LSA valve (30) is faulty or the feed
motor is badly worn.
- Run the rock drill to the front stopper and hold the joystick in
this position while holding the fast feed button 1 (S21) down.
- If the pressure gauge now shows 150–180 bar reading (correct
value), it is likely that the feed motor is leaking or the feed
mechanism has a mechanical fault. Repair or replace the
damaged components.
- If the pressure cannot be adjusted with the LS B valve (29), it is
likely that the valve is faulty. Clean and repair, or replace the
valve (29), and readjust it.
3. If the pilot pressure is still lower than 13-14 bar when the button (S21) is
activated, the low feed pilot pressure might be due to dirt in the orifice
(70) that slows down the dampening piston of the anti-jamming valve
(34). Check that the orifice (70) is not blocked (see the picture of the anti-
jamming valve, chapter 4.).
4. If the feed forwards pilot pressure is still lower than the setting of valve
(39) check also the adjustable restrictor (71) (port P) at anti-jamming
valve (34) base plate.
10.4.6 Fast feed movement too fast
1. If fast feed movement is too fast upwards or downwards, readjust it
according to the instructions in this manual.
10.5 Troubleshooting for rotation

Rotation pump (50) output can be tested by running the boom movements
because the boom cylinders get the required volume flow from the same
pump (50). Pressure can be measured at rotation valve (53) measuring
point (M).
ID: BG00308654 en-US A.001.1 2014-04-16
The operation of rotation directional valve (53) can be tested by a hand

lever mounted to the valve.
10.5.1 Rotation pressure too low during drilling
1. If rotation pressure is too low during drilling, you should check if the
pressure relief valve (60) of the LS A line is incorrectly adjusted. Adjust
the valve according to the setting instructions. If the pressure still fails to
adjust to the correct value, it may be that the setting of the rotation circuit
maximum pressure relief valve (55) is incorrect. If the valve (55) fails to
adjust to the recommended value, it is likely that it is damaged. Replace
the valve and adjust it according to the instructions. If the pressure still
cannot be adjusted correctly, the reason may be that the rotation pump
(50) is faulty. Replace the pump (50) and readjust the valves (55) and
(60).
2. The reasons for too low rotation pressure during drilling may be drilling
with too slow rotation speed or underfeed. Check the following points:
- Check and adjust the right rotation speed according to setting
instructions, see chapter 'Adjustments of hydraulic components'.
- Check and adjust the right feed pressure according to setting
instructions, see chapter 'Adjustments of hydraulic components'. If the
feed pressure can’t be set to right value, see the troubleshooting
chapter ‘Drilling feed pressure too low’.
3. Insufficient flushing might cause low rotation pressure despite right feed
pressure and rotation speed. Check that flushing is working properly.
4. If rotation pressure still remains low, the reason may be leaking rotation
motor. Replace the motor.
10.5.2 Rotation pressure too high during drilling
1. Too high rotation pressure during drilling is caused by, for instance, too
high feed pressure or high rotation speed. Too high feed pressure
causes drilling with overfeed, which is indicated by high rotation pressure
but also by bending of drill rod and unusual vibration. Adjust feed
pressure so that rotation pressure returns to typical values in the current
drilling conditions.
2. If the above adjustments do not lower rotation pressure, the reason may
be in faulty rotation motor. In that case, replace or repair the rotation
motor as described in the service/repair instructions for the rock drill.
ID: BG00308654 en-US A.001.1 2014-04-16
10.5.3 Rotation speed cannot be adjusted

1. If rotation speed cannot be adjusted, start troubleshooting by checking
the pilot control pressure of the rotation directional valve (53) as follows:
• Install pressure gauges to the drilling control block measuring points
M9 and M11.
• Turn the rotation speed regulating valve (59) fully closed (cw).
• Make sure the the coil of the fast rotation valve (58) is not active.
• Turn the drilling joystick to the rotating position (left), whereby also
minimum power percussion will start.
• If the pressure in the measuring point M9 is approx. 30 bar, it is
correct.
• Turn the drilling joystick to the extreme right position while
depressing the fast feed button 1 (S21), (percussion has to be
switched off from button 3 (S19)) whereby fast rotation in the thread
opening direction will start (now the coils 58 and 62 are active).
• If the pressure in the measuring point M11 is approx. 30 bar, it is
correct.
• If the pressures in the measuring points M9 and M11 are correct, it is
likely that the fault is in damaged regulating valve (59) or sticking
spool of rotation directional valve (53). Check the operation of the
valves as follows:
- Lock the drilling joystick to the extreme left position, whereby
rotation and minimum power percussion will start.
- Turn the rotation speed adjusting knob of the valve (59)
between its extreme positions and see if the rotation speed
changes at the same time. Check also that pilot pressure at
measuring point M9 is varying from 5 to 30 bar. Note, that
percussion will stop (drilling joystick is centralized) when pilot
pressure at M9 goes lower than 9 bar.
- If the rotation pilot pressure can’t be adjusted with valve (59),
clean and repair, or replace the valve (59).
- If the rotation speed still cannot be adjusted, it is likely that the
spool of the rotation directional valve (53) is sticking.
- Clean the spool and the valve thoroughly.
- Install the spool back into place cautiously without using
excessive force or striking the spool end.
2. If the above remedies did not correct the fault, it is likely that the rotation
motor in the rock drill is faulty. Repair the rotation motor according to
instructions in the rock drill repair / maintenance manual.

1.3 DX HL/HF 810T Stabilizer system

Stabilizer pressure control is done with a separate control block. Block
includes four cartridge valves; electric operated 3/2-directional valve (126),
pilot controlled pressure reducing/relieving valve with internal maximum
pressure setting (270), pilot operated pressure relief valve (271) and
selector valve (321). Valve (271) is same type of a valve which is used as a
percussion minimum pressure / follow-up valve (303) in feed-percussion
follow-up function. Usually is used smaller follow-up ratios in stabilizer
control than feed percussion follow-up control. Inside the block is an ∅1,0
mm orifice (322) which ensures adequate oil flow to the pilot control circuit
of valve (270).

1.3.1 Working principle

Oil to the stabilizer circuit is taken from percussion piston pump via the
drilling control block port P2. Pressure hose is connected to the stabilizer
control block P. A selector valve (321) is located to the block between port
P and valve (270). This selector valve (321) allows oil flow to the stabilizer
control valves only when percussion and/or feed is activated. Selector valve
(321) is controlled by pressurising the X-port of stabilizer block.
Pressure to the port X is taken from the port X20 of Drilling block.
NOTE! Stabilizer is pressurized only when percussion and/or feed is on
except during rattling and threading (= when valve (126) is activated).
If selector valve (321) is activated with feed function then oil flows through
valves (270) and (126) to port S and further to the stabilizer connection in
the rock drill. Valve (270) works as a pressure reducing valve.
Allways when percussion is on, oil flow is from rock drill to the stabilizer
pressure control block. Valve (270) works as a pressure relieving valve.
Valve (270) is working so that the pressure after this valve (= stabilizer
pressure) is controlled either by controlling the pressure at port 4 via valve
(271) or by internal relief valve that limits the maximum stabilizer pressure.
Valve (271) is ’pilot controlling’ valve (270) when stabilizer pressure is lower
than the spring setting of valve (270).
When only percussion is activated pump pressure is set to the percussion
minimum pressure (typically 80-90 bar). Pressure at port P of the stabilizer
control block is the same 80-90 bar. Oil flows from the rock drill to the
stabilizer pressure control block; through valve (126) and (270) to the tank.
At the same time oil starts to flow through orifice (322) to the control circuit
of valve (270). Pressure starts to increase after orifice (322) at port 4 of
valve (270) and at port 1 of valve (271).When this pressure is increased to
the spring setting of valve (271) valve opens and it sets the stabilizer
minimum pressure at port 4 of valve (270). Now the main spool of valve
(270) is starting to close and it sets the pressure after valve (270)
(=stabilizer pressure) to the minimum value (60 bar). This 60 bar stabilizer
minimum pressure is set by the spring of valve (271).
Note! Percussion pressure must always be at least 15-20 bar higher than
stabilizer pressure!
When feed forwards is activated and the reference pressure (= pressure at

port R in stabilizer pressure control block) is higher than feed actuator
pressure = pressure at port P in stabilizer pressure control block ; (drilling
without any feed resistance; e.g. in cavity or with very low feed speed) the
stabilizer pressure (as well as the percussion pressure) stays at minimum
value.
When feed actuator pressure increases higher than the reference pressure
stabilizer switches from minimum pressure to follow-up mode (as well as
the feed-percussion follow-up). Valve (271) controls also the follow-up
function and it has a certain ratio; meaning that when feed actuator
pressure increases e.g. 10 bar stabilizer pressure increases 10 bar (1:1
ID: BG00308821 en-US A.001.1 2014-04-09
ratio). When feed actuator pressure is high enough trying to increase

stabilizer pressure (by means of valve 271) to ’too high’ value the internal
relief valve of valve (270) is limiting the stabilizer pressure to the maximum
value (100 bar).
So valve (271) is taking care of the minimum pressure and the follow-up
function according to the feed pressure and valve (270) is limiting the
maximum pressure of the stabilizer.
Valve 126 (coil Y126) is activated when push button 2 (S22) at drilling
joystick is activated during rattling. Now all the oil which is coming from the
rock drill to the stabilizer control block port S is forwarded to tank and
stabilizer pressure is close to 0 bar. This ensures easy opening of the
couplings.
Note that valve 126 (Y126) is activated also during coupling and
uncoupling.
Stabilizer control circuit is not controlling piston pump (1). When
adjustments are done, either percussion or feed functions must be
activated to get enough pressure to port P of the stabilizer control block.

1.6 Adjustments
Note! The basic settings of the Rock Pilot must be done before the settings
of the stabilizer control circuit (especially valves (303) and (307) must
be adjusted). Perform adjustment when oil is in operating
temperature.
Stabilizer pressure can be seen from pressure gauge (269) in the cabin or
from a separate pressure gauge connected to measuring point M2 of the
stabilizer control block.
Note! Percussion pressure must always be at least 15-20 bar higher than
stabilizer pressure!
1. Open the locking nut of the adjusting screw of valve (270) and fully close
(clockwise) the adjustment.
2. Open the locking nut of valve (271).
3. Switch percussion on (should be 80-90 bar) by turning drilling joystick to
9 o’clock position and adjust the stabilizer minimum pressure to 60 bar by
valve (271); see stabilizer pressure gauge (269) in cabin. Tighten the
locking nut.
4. Drive the rock drill against the front stopper, activate the drilling by
turning the drilling joystick to 11 o’clock position and check from stabilizer
pressure gauge (269) that stabilizer pressure is higher than 100 bar. If
the stabilizer pressure is lower than 100 bar, temporarily increase the
setting of valve (20) from cabin to get stabilizer pressure to 120 bar.
5. When stabilizer pressure is at least 120 bar start to decrease
(counterclockwise) the setting of valve (270) and set the stabilizer
maximum pressure to 100 bar. Tighten the locking nut.
6. Turn the feed beam to a vertical position and test the system by
reversing the rock drill about 20-30 cm of the front stopper, switch drilling
on and check that when the rock drill is moving downwards the stabilizer
pressure is 60 bar and when rock drill runs against front stopper stabilizer
pressure increases to 100 bar; see gauge (269) in cabin.
7. Check the function of valve 126 (Y126) by switching rattling on and
simultaneously pushing push button 2 (S22) at drilling joystick; when
pressed/pulled stabilizer pressure must drop to 0 bar.
8. Return the setting of valve (20) back to original value if it has been
adjusted at item 4.

2 MAIN COMPONENTS
2.1 Structure of pump
The piston movements of the pump take the oil from the suction side to the
pressure side. The pump is an axial piston pump where the pistons move in
the direction of the drive axle.
The variable displacement pump used by Sandvik is a swashplate type
pump. The piston ends slide against the swashplate which angle depends
on the LS-signal (pressure).
The ports of the pump are marked as follows :
S = suction port
B = pressure port
L = drain port
X = pilot port

The control unit mounted to the pump controls the angle of the swashplate.
The pump has separate controllers for pressure and flow.
The line B1 of the control unit receives system pressure. Through the
borings in the control unit spindles, the pressure is led to the left end of the
control spindles.
The line A leads to the control piston that control the angle of the
swashplate.
The line T leads into the pump housing, and it is connected to the tank
through the drain line.
3.3 Pressure controller

When the pressure in the line B1 increases, the control unit spindle P
moves to the right, against the spring. When the set maximum pressure is
reached, the connection from B1 to A opens, and oil flows to the control
piston that decreases the angle of the swashplate.
The adjusting screw C is used for adjusting the maximum system pressure.
The pressure must be c. 20 bar lower than the opening pressure of the
main pressure relief valve (= safety valve).
3.4 Flow controller

Flow varies according to the demand of the system. The system pressure
through B1 affects the left end of the spindle F. The pressure from the load
sensing line X affects the right end where the spring is located. The
pressure difference over the system directional valve V forces the
regulator’s spindle F against the spring. If the pressure difference
increases, the connection between the lines B1 and A opens, and the pump
is adjusted for lower flow. If the pressure difference decreases, the
connection between the lines A and T opens, and the flow of the pump
increases.
3.4.1 Load sensing lines
It is possible to adjust several systems (X1, X2, etc.) at the same time by
controlling the LS-pressures of each system.
3.4.2 Stand by pressure
In the situation,when no devices are in operation, the load sensing line X
has no pressure, because it is connected to the tank line through the
directional valve. The system pressure from B1 forces the flow regulator
spindle F to the right against the spring. The connection from B1 to A opens
up, and the pump is adjusted to zero flow and low pressure.
The stand by pressure of the system is adjusted with the screw D. The
desired value will adjust according to the adjusting instructions of the pump
(depends on the system).
