1. GENERAL
Water is used in a DL- drill rig for two main purposes: for drill hole flushing and for various cooling
functions. Water is fed inside the drill rod to the bottom of the hole to be drilled, the broken rock
material comes out with the out flowing water from the hole being drilled, cooling the drilling
equipments. Before leading the water to the drill rod it is led through oil cooler for drill oil cooling
purposes.

Water supply to the rig is opened by opening the shut-off valve (8). Before opening the shut-off valve
(8), make sure that the mud separator screen (at the shut-off valve) is cleaned.
Check that the operating switch of the water booster pump (2) is in position I. The pump is started
automatically almost simultaneously with the powerpack.
Water pressure is adjusted with the pressure reducing valve (3) if necessary. Flushing water pressure
is increased with the water booster pump (2) that carries water to the water line. The flushing water
pressure to the rock drill is indicated by water pressure gauge (5). Pressure switch (4) and water
pressure gauge (5) are connected to the water line. From the water booster pump flushing water is
led to the oil cooler (6). Flushing pressure may not exceed 15 bar.
From the oil cooler water flows to electric-controlled flushing valves (7). The flushing valves switch
flushing on when control switch S74 is switched on the control panel.
The flushing system is provided with a flow control switch (12) that activates the flushing flow
disturbance function if flushing flow drops below the set value of the switch. If the flushing water
pressure on flow drops below the set values, the anti-jamming automatics engages. Flushing
pressure may not exceed 15 bar.
The water circuit is provided with a thermostatic valve (9). It monitors the temperature of return oil
after the oil cooler (6). If the temperature rises above the set value, the valve opens up and lets water
flow through the cooler to the ground.
The system includes two electric flushing valves, one connected to the water circuit and the other to
the pneumatic circuit. Water flushing operates during drilling as decribed with the circuit presented
above, but when the hole is completed, pressurized air can be used for blowing the hole clean.
The pressure switch (4) is set to operate at 2.8 bar with a 4 second delay. If flushing pressure drops
below this value, the switch automatically stops the water pump and drilling.
Close the water circuit shut-off valve (8). If water pressure is below 2.8 bar and the pressure switch
(4) operates, the indicator light H601 (low water pressure) in the QN panel lights up. Acknowledge
the disturbance by pressing the button S505. The pressure switch is working properly, if the indicator
light does not go off. Open the water circuit shut-off valve (8). If water pressure is over 2.8 bar and
the indicator light H601 goes off, the pressure switch is working properly.

4. MUD SEPARATOR
The mud separator does not work properly if water which has
been once in the flushing circulation is reused.
Restricted water flow causes flushing and cooling problems. The most common reason for the drop
of pressure is blocked mud separator. This is why the separator shall be cleaned at least once a
week. If the conditions change, clean the separator more often at first, and determine the correct
cleaning interval on the basis of experience.

The water is drawn with a hose onto the shut-off valve’s stem. When the valve is opened, the water
flows through the mud separator and to the water pump, after that there is a pressure reducing valve.
The pressure to be regulated acts on the valve‘s inlet side, both on the valve sleeves‘s (5) top surface
(A) and bottom surface (B). These surface areas are in balance so that the pressure acting on them
does not alone cause movement of the piston (4) in either direction. Spring (2) causes the piston to
move downwards. Now the valve sleeve opens and lets the pressure into the outlet-side channel.
The same pressure, however, is acting through an internal port also on the undersurface (C) of the
valve sleeve (5), causing a force pushing the piston (4) upwards. The flow always continues as long
as the force pushing the piston upwards, a force arising from pressure, overcomes the spring force,
whereupon the disc valve closes. When the pressure on the outlet side decreases, the spring force
again becomes determining.
Then the piston lowers, the disc valve opens, opening the flow passage, the pressure effect on the
underside of the big piston becomes determining, etc. Raising of the outlet pressure is thus effected,
as can be concluded from what has been told above, by tightening the spring.
Correspondingly, for lowering the outlet pressure the spring must be slackened.
6.3. Maintenance
If the pressure acting on the pressure restrictors outlet side varies greatly, or it changes considerably
in either direction, the most likely reason is in the valve’s leaking seal, which therefore must be
changed.
Disassembly of the valve is started by loosen locking ring (13) and screwing anti-clockwise the
adjusting screw (14). Disassembly adjusting screw (14). Be carefully because of spring force. Do not
lose the spring casing‘s ball (19). After this, disassembly the ball (19), upper spring plate (17) and the
valve spring (18). Disassembly set screws (20), spring casing (3), piston (4), piston seal (16) and
distance piece (11). Disassembly is continued on the lower side of the valve by detaching the bottom
cover (2) which is screwed on to the valve body. When the cup has been detached, disassemble
valve stem (8), washer (12), disc holder (6), valve disc (7), valve sleeve (5), high pressure seal (9),
and high pressure seal ring (10).
Change the seal (9), seal ring (10) and valve disc (7) around the valve sleeve (5). Doing the same to
the piston seal (16). Assemble the valve in reverse order, using gasket 12, 21, 22 or suitable sealing
compound for the sealing of the bottom cup and the spring casing.
NOTE! If you are disassembling the valve in position, be particularly careful not to lose the
spring chamber’s ball.
NOTE! See to it that the valve is adjusted before use.
FLUSHING PRESSURE = INLET PRESSURE + PUMP PRESSURE. The pressure before the pumps
is adjusted with the pressure-reducing valve (3). The flushing pressure value can be read from the
pressure gauge (5). The value must never exceed 15 bar. To ensure adequate flushing, the minimum
inlet pressure to the drilling rig must be 5 bar. An optional 15-bar relief valve (14) can be installed
before the flushing circuit, in case high-pressure peaks occur in the working site’s water supply
system.

7. OIL COOLER
7.1. General
The OW21, OW30, OW45 and OW60 hydraulic oil coolers are used with Sandvik’s hydraulic
powerpacks. The oil coolers differs from each others only in size and efficiency.
The working principle of the cooler is ”from oil to water”. The cooling water flows inside the cooler
in ”three stages” so that it changes direction twice at the cooler’s end flange. Because of this
arrangement, the cooler does not drain completely through the bottom plug but pressured air blown
through the flow-circuit is needed for assistance.
7.2. Function
The flow path of the water that takes care of the oil cooling opens normally automatically when the
drilling hydraulics’ percussion circuit is actuated. In certain cases cooling may be needed also during
drilling pauses, but the valve that answers for the automatic flushing is, however, then closed. The
situation can be helped by the aid of the by-pass valve (5) connected to the oil cooler. By opening
this valve, a nonstop water flow (= cooling flow) is produced.
The volume flow is then not so great as when using the normal flow course, this serves the purpose
of additional cooling. However, it must be noted that if the available water flow is limited, by-pass
running can cause deficiency in the flushing flow. This manifests itself in a great pressure difference
at the flushing valve, depending on whether the drilling is going on or not.

5 By-pass valve
If, for example, the water hoses are fitted the other way a loss in cooling efficiency will result.
7.3. Maintenance
If the temperature of oil increases or the pressure with the flushing valves falls, that may be a sign of
cleaning need of the oil cooler. On the lowering of the pressure there can be also other reasons, so
the cause in question must be clarified.
If it has been ascertained that cooler is blocked, and if the cooler is dismountable model, the cleaning
work must be begun by letting out both the water and the oil from the cooler unit.
Open the fastening bolts of the ends of the cooler. Remove the ends and pull the cooler’s tubing out.
The tubing’s water circuit-side surfaces (tubes’ inner surfaces) can best be cleaned by pushing a 3
mm steel rod into the tube, in direction which is against the water’s flow direction when the cooler is
used.
When the cleaning has been done, all impurities must be carefully removed from both surfaces of the
tubing. This can be done for example by washing the unit first carefully and then blowing with
compressed air any loose materials and the water off the tube surfaces.
New seals should be used when assembling the cooler.
Take care to observe the given pressure limits. For example the
oil cooler is in danger of getting damaged if the water circuit’s
pressure exceeds the specified limit. If a further damaged cooler
admits water in the hydraulic oil, the damages can be very
serious.

• Release the push button.
The unit is now adapted to your flow conditions. It passes into the operating mode, the display should
now show example 1.
Note: The switching point (LED 7) is now set to 70% of the normal flow.
Switch point can be adjusted in case of switch point differs from 70%. See section “Change the switch
point”.
Note: The adjustment affects the switch point: It is increased proportionally (maximum up to LED 7).
Note: When using other media than water, it is highly recommended that you should additionally adapt
the unit to the minimum flow (flow as 0 %).
Note: The following adjustment must only be carried out after the high flow adjustment.
• Let the minimum flow circulate in the installation or ensure flow standstill.
• Press the push button and keep it pressed.
- LED 0 lights, after approx. 5 s it flashes.
• Release the push button. The unit adopts the new value and passes into the operating mode.

1. The display shows example 2.
Note: If no pushbutton is pressed for 2 s, the unit returns to the operating mode with the newly set
value.
Note: The typical response time of the unit is 1...10 s. It can be influenced by the setting of the switch
point:
• Low switch point = quick reaction with rising flow
• High switch point = quick reaction with falling flow
The unit is delivered as normally open. In case of need you can change the output to normally closed:
• Press the unit’s pushbutton for at least 15 s.
- LED 0 lights, after approx. 5 s it flashes.
- After 10 s the current setting is displayed: LEDs 5...9 light orange (= output normally open).
- After approx. 15 s LEDs 0...4 flash orange.

1. SAFETY
WARNING
Check the condition of the pneumatic hoses and make sure they run
properly on the supporting guides. Remember that a hose breakage may
cause personal injuries.
WARNING
In cold weather any water in the air cleaner must be carefully drained. If
the water is allowed to freeze it can damage the cleaner.
CAUTION
Maintenance and repair work should only be done when the rig is out of
operation. Make sure that it cannot be accidentally started (open the
main power switch, for instance) during the repair work. Unauthorized
CAUTION
persons are not allowed near the rig during the repair work.
2. GENERAL
Pressurized air on the DL drilling rig is mainly used for two main purpose:
Pressurized air is taken from the compressor mounted on the rig or from the air line of the
drilling site.
Shank lubrication is very important for the operation of the rock drill. Insufficient lubrication
causes damages to the rotation mechanism and the shank of the rock drill. This is why
the drilling is automatically prevented if the shank lubrication is insufficient; a pressure
switch detects low air pressure and prevents drilling.
3. COMMON VALUES
The air consumption for shank lubrication with 4--6 bar is approx. 0,3 m3/min.

4. CIRCUIT OPERATION
The pressurized air system is provided with a pressure switch (2) that
monitors the pressure in the system. If the pressure drops below the set
value (2,8) bar for longer than 10 seconds the drilling is prevented.
CAUTION
5. USE OF COMPRESSOR
The operating switch has three positions (S502, located in the SW panel of the
cabin/safety canopy).
S502
POSITION 0
Compressor not running. As the first compressor starts (any compressor) pressure
monitoring is activated. Used when the required air is taken from the mine network so that
no compressor is needed.
POSITION 1
Normal position, compressor running. As the first powerpack starts, compressor will start
1 second after that, and pressure monitoring is activated. With powerpack already
running, the turning of the switch to position 1 will start the compressor. The compressor
is switched off when the powerpacks are stopped.
POSITION S (non--locking)
If no powerpacks are running, turning the switch to the non--locking S position will start
the compressor alone (manual control for production of compressed air).
NOTE! Air pressure control is NOT activated when the compressor is running
alone.
Turn the switch to position 0 for stopping the compressor. When the compressor is in
manual control, the starting of powerpacks is not possible. For starting powerpacks you
must first switch off the manual control of the compressor. In case of power failure, or if
the emergency stop button is depressed, the compressor will not start again automatically
but needs to be restarted.
The QN panel has the following indicator lights for the compressor: green “compressor
running” indicator light H618, red “compressor overload” indicator light H605, and red
“compressor overheat” indicator light H604. Activation of the overload and temperature
controls of the compressor will stop the powerpacks, the water pump, and the compressor.
6. AIR CLEANER IP 5
TAP
Open the drain valve of the cleaner at least once during each shift.
CAUTION
In water mist flushing, water is sprayed into the flushing air. The amount of water depends
on the hole diameter, the drilling direction, and the rock type. When using water flushing,
be sure, that the volume of the water is enough. When using air mist flushing, be sure, that
the volume of the air is enough.
The flow of flushing air is monitored by a flow control switch (S10). If the flushing air flow
drops under the set value, the drilling direction is reversed and drilling is interrupted.

The shank lubricator SLU 1/2/3 is one of the most important units on Sandvik drilling equipment. Its
purpose is to provide sufficient lubrication for Sandvik rock drills under varying drilling conditions and
situations. Sufficient and accurate lubrication is made possible by regulating the working frequency
of the shank lubricator pump(s).

The pump unit delivers oil to the rock drill along an inserted pipe. Pressurized air is used for distributing
the oil to the lubricating points. In a recovering system, pressurized air is used for collecting the
lubricating oil into a separate receiver. The system is equipped with an oil level switch.
The lubricating pump is a hydraulically operated piston pump with electric control. The metered
amount of oil is determined by electrically altering the pump’s working frequency.
The lubricating pump is made up of blocks. The pump consists of one main block with 1-2 auxiliary
blocks connected to it (depending the number of the booms). The main block and each auxiliary block
have their own lubrication monitoring switch. Electric control is for the main block only. Monitoring is
activated always when operating voltage is switched on.
The closing ball in the non-return valve of the lubricating pump outlet port operates as a monitoring
switch against its seat. Oil flow through the non-return valve lifts the ball off the seat surface, whereby
the circuit is cut. The ball in the non-return valve of the control valve connects electrically to the frame
of the pump (and the drilling rig) Voltage is connected to the ball via a spring that is insulated from
the pump frame.
If the ball remains open over four working cycles, the alarm is
switched on. The indicator light goes on, the joystick(s) are
centered and the drilling function is disabled. Correspondingly,
if the ball does not open over four working cycles, alarm is
switched on. Alarm is removed when normal pumping is
resumed.

When the boost switch is activated, the indicator light of the control valve of the pump(s) starts to
flash. The oil output of the pump(s) is now 1200 g/h and the pumps’ stroke frequency is 30 strokes /
minute. The boost function is active as long as the boost switch is on.
Remember to turn off the boost switch after the service
operations!
1. Check the oil level from the dipstick (1). Fill the
tank as necessary.

Operating principles
Compressor unit

Air compressing process
02.02.2000
In a screw compressor, the air is compressed in the compressor unit driven by an electric
motor.
The meshing rotors take in air between the ridges as they pass by the intake opening.
When the rotors turn, the connection to the intake opening closes, and the space between the
ridges starts decreasing. At the end of the compression phase, the desired pressure has been
reached, and the connection to the receiver opens.
The air in the compressor unit is cooled by oil that is injected into the compressor unit.
In the compressor unit, the oil cools the air and the compressor unit.
In addition, the oil lubricates the bearings and seals the clearances between the rotors and the
rotor housing.
7
Oil circulation
02.02.2000
From the air end the mixture of compressed air and oil mist is ducted into the oil system,
where the oil is separated from the air. The oil separation process is two-phase.
Most of the oil is separated in a cyclone by centrifugal force, and the rest in oil separator
element (1). From the oil separator element the oil flows back to the circuit through return
pipe (2). Orifice (3) restricts the backward air flow to the air end.
On its way back into the air end, the hot oil flows through cooler (7) and oil filter (4). If the
oil is cold, thermostat (5) in the oil system directs it past the cooler.
This forced oil circulation is maintained by the pressure difference between oil system and air
end.
In order for the oil circulation to work whenever the compressor delivers air, there is an
output control valve (6) to prevent the oil system pressure from dropping below the pre-set
minimum (3 bar).
8
Capacity control
02.02.2000
The system is designed to regulate compressor output according to use of compressed air,
and this to minimize energy consumption per cubic metre of air produced.
Production is stepplessly regulated from nought to maximum compressor output.
Output is governed by opening or closing the intake valve.
Pilot valve (1) automatically operates the intake valve trough monitoring output pressure and
keeping it within a set range. Normally this range is 1bar, i.e. compressor output pressure
may vary by 1bar depending on air consumption.
When power unit is stopped, pressure release valve (2) opens and releases pressure in air/oil
container.
No Component Purpose
1 Pilot valve Opens and closes intake valve
2 Pneumatic valve Empties receiver at stopping

Installing
Installing location
1. The compressor must be installed on an even surface, bearing in mind the compressor’s
weight (Cf. Technical specifications). Observe the need for draining (oil separating well or
a separate container) for condensate water.
The water contains oil.
2. Study the dimensional drawing for the required minimum distances to walls and other
machines.
3. Make sure that the compressor room is properly ventilated. The cooling air temperature
must not be higher than +40°C, the lower value is given in the technical data-page (p.4).
Prevent recirculation of cooling air. If the compressor is provided with air ducts, observe
the required air volume and the max.pressure loss of the blower. Observe also the
possibility to the cleaning of the coolers (Cf. Technical specifications).
Notice that almost the whole input power of the compressor moves to the
cooling air of the air cooled compressor.
4. Install the temperature gauge in place (if it’s delivered loose). Connect the safety functions
of the temperature gauge (temperature alarm and stopping) Cf. separate instruction p.17.
12
Electric connection (models with electric motors) 02.02.2000
The electric connections must made according to the IEC standards. All local safety
regulations must also be observed.
Make sure that the operating volatge is correct. The voltage must be as rated, 5%.
Connect the power supply cable. Observe the power requirement (Cf. electric diagrams and
technical data).
Connecting the protective earth lead correctly is especially important.
Power supply connections are only allowed to qualified electricians.
See the connecting of the temperature gauge, separate instruction p.17 .

15
Adjust of modulating
02.02.2000
Output pressure can be regulated by turning the adjusting screw (B) on the valve.
Locking nut (A) must be loosened before adjusting :
turning the screw clockwise increases pressure and turning it anticlockwise lowers pressure.
Tighten the locknut after adjustments!
Do not exceed the compressor’s specified maximum pressure (Cf. Technical data).
16
Temperature gauge
02.02.2000
The safety functions; the temperature alarm (S1) and stopping (S2) are located in the
temperature gauge. Connect them accordingly to these wiring diagrams, which are also on
the side of the temperature gauge.
The safety functions must absolutely be connected before taking the
compressor into use.

Oil recommendation for Gardner Denver 02.02.2000
Mineral oil
Use compressor oil specially made for screw compressors, which contents antioxidants and
preventive components against rust, foaming and wearing.
Synthetic lubricant
Use compressor oil specially made for screw compressors, which contents antioxidants and
preventive components against rust, foaming and wearing.
Viscosity:
– max. 500mm2/s by starting temperature (> 0°C)
– min. 7mm2/s by running temperature of oil (= 55°C over the ambient temperature)
Flash point:
– min. 180°C (open cup)
In normal circumstances these conditons are fulfilled when using ISO VG 32...46 or
SAE 10W...20W/20 oils.
Before taking the oil in continuous use the following facts should be checked which have ef-
fect on compressor operation:
– running temperature (continuous over 90°C running temperature will half the
normal oil change intervall for mineral oil)
– oil consumption (high running temperature increases oil consumption)
– if glogged oil separators
– if varnish formation (affects the cooling and oil separation)
Varnish formation can be seen on metal levels as a brown lacquer coating.

shaft to its lower position (Normally the
propellant spring at the lower end of the motor
holds the motor shaft in the upper position.).
22. Tighten the screws (4) (with the torque shown ID: 25270
in the picture).
23. Check that the gaps on both sides of the
coupling halves (3) are equal.

Pumps installed in accordance with these instructions will operate efficiently with very little
maintenance. The mechanical shaft seal is self-adjusting and has wear-resistant seal faces which
are lubricated and cooled by the pumped water. Pump bearings are lubricated by the pumped water
as well.
Motors without grease nipples have ball bearings which are lubricated for life with a heat-resisting
grease. No additional lubrication is required.
Motors with grease cups (nipples) can be lubricated with a lithium based grease.
TYPE: ESSO BEACON 3 or similar types.
Additional greasing is only recommended under exacting operating conditions. Overgreasing may
result in motor failure. In case of seasonal operation (out of operation for more than 6 months), it is
recommended to grease the motor, when it is taken out of operation.
Under the conditions where the temperature of the surroundings can go below 0 °C, the flushing
system must be protected against the freezing of the flushing water, by blowing some anti-freezing
liquid through the flushing line.
At regular intervals, depending on the conditions and time of operation, the following checks should
be made:
• Possible leaks.
• Remove and clean all filters fitted to the installation.
• Tripping time for the motor overload unit.
