4 OPERATION
4.1 Description of operation
Principle of operation
In a feed situation, the cylinder pipe (14) moves and the piston rod (13) is
fixed to the rear end of the feed beam. Oil is led into the cylinder through
the piston rod, to both sides of the piston. The rock drill (2) moves twice as
fast as the cylinder pipe. The speed is achieved with wires (11 and 12) and
idler wheel assemblies (4 and 5) attached to the ends of the cylinder pipe.
The hose reel (10) is attached to the cylinder pipe (14).

Operating principle of the safety wire

The safety wire is located at the lower end of the feed. When the safety
wire is pulled with sufficient force or the wire loosens, the rotation of the
rock drill is stopped, as is the rod handling operations. Simultaneously, the
screen displays a message. The engine and dust collector remain running.
Note! Before resetting the safety wire, check that the rod handling and
drilling joysticks are not in the operating position.

Operating principle of the PITO centralizer

For drilling long holes, the centralizer used is the front centralizer with jaws
that are opened and closed hydraulically. The condition of the jaws affects
the speed and ease of the rod changing.

Operating principle of the feed rail and carriage

The feed rail is manufactured from a steel profile with stainless steel plinths
welded to sliding surfaces. The drill carriage and hose reel frame are
supported by slide pieces as they move along the feed rail.
Each drill carriage slide piece is attached from the frame to the carriage
with three screw and nut sets which lock the slide piece in the longitudinal
direction. Lateral locking is achieved by means of the design of the slide
pieces and the frame.
The structure of the hose reel frame slide pieces is similar to that of the drill
carriage, but without separate adjusting screws.

2. Install a new seal in the groove by carefully stretching it with stretching
strips. You can facilitate the installation by heating the seal in an oven, in
oil or in water, to a maximum temperature of 200 °C. A special tool is
available for replacing the seal, code: 330 023 18.
3. After installation, the seal is fitted in the groove using a cylinder pipe or a
similar tool. Oil the seal before fitting.
6.3.3 Replacing the piston rod seal

1. Bend the piston rod seal carefully so that there are no sharp bends in the
seal. Install the seal ring in the groove using your fingers and shape the
seal round by pressing it.
2. After installation, fit the seals in their grooves, and thread the wiper into
its groove. An oiled piston rod can be used to facilitate installation.
