Technical Data
The control valve in pump A10V consists of two control valves. Both control valves are pre-
set on delivery and normally do not require adjustment.
• Control valve (A) determines the maximum pressure in the delivery line from the pump
(positioning and percussion pressure).
• The control valve (B) is controlled remotely by valve Y156 to the required pressure
level in the pump's delivery line (unloaded or with pressure set by control valve A).
• In order that the radio remote control (and pump unloading) should work without prob-
lems the stand-by pressure on valve (B) must be 18 bar.
The control valve in pump A10V consists of two control valves. Both control valves are pre-
set on delivery and normally do not require adjustment.
• Control valve (A) determines the max. pressure in the delivery line from the pump.
• Control valve (B) controls the pump's constant flow with the pressure drop over the re-
strictor (C).
• In order that the pump regulation should work without problems the stand-by pressure
on valve (B) should be 25 bar.
9.10 Settings
CAUTION
Hazardous Hydraulic Oil Pressure
Can cause personal injury.
u Always exercise the greatest caution.
u Pressure settings must only be performed by trained personnel.
Always allow the hydraulic oil to reach operating temperature before pressure or flow set-
tings are made. This is important when setting:
• Rod coupling
• Feed pressure
• Rock drill damper pressure
• Anti-jamming protection
EDS 18 is not compensated for temperature differences in the hydraulic oil. Before the oil
reaches normal operating temperature (for example, at the start of the shift) the following
may therefore occur in certain cases:
• The feed pressure is too low
• Anti-jamming protection is too sensitive
If so then pressure or flow must NOT be adjusted. Instead, stop the drilling, activate rota-
tion with switch (A) and wait approx. 5 minutes until the oil has reached normal tempera-
ture.

WARNING
Risk of Hydraulic Oil Pressure
Working on hydraulic system can cause personal injury.
There are accumulated brake pressure of up to 150 bar (2175 psi) in the brake circuit
even after stopping the engine. If the system is opened without relieving this pressure,
oil spurts out at high pressure.
u Relieve the accumulated brake pressure before opening the system.
NOTE: The system is pressurised even when the brake pressure gauge (where fitted)
! indicates zero pressure.
NOTE: Make sure that all the work on the brake system is clean and clean all the re-

3. Check that the low brake pressure lamp switches Off at 105–115 bar (1522–1667
psi) and the pressure rises to 145–155 bar (2103– 2248 psi).
4. Start the diesel engine and brake repeatedly with the engines idle.
When the pressure has dropped to 120–130 bar (1740–1885 psi), the brake system
control valve must engage, so the pressure rises again to maximum. For the brake
system, the maximum pressure is 145–155 bar (2103– 2248 psi).
6. Brake hard four times that is press the pedal fully and release completely each
time.
If the brake pressure drops below 90 bar (1305 psi) after braking hard four times,
there is a fault in the brake system. It can be caused by:
For identifying uncharged or poorly charged accumulators, see topic Checking Ac-

The safety valve (A) is used to limit the pressure in the system. The valve opens at a pres-
sure of 350 bar (5076 psi).
If a hose, lubrication point, or nipple is blocked, the lubricant grease leaks out of the safety
valve. Troubleshooting is required when it happens.
Excess lubricant after dosage to the primary distributor must be routed back to the pump
through the return connection (A).
The container is transparent for visual inspection of the level. One filler nipple is located
above the running lights on the left-hand side and one filler nipple is located directly on the
pump.
2. Fill through the nipple (A) to the MAX marking on the container.
2. Check the indicator (B) to see if the lubrication pump follows the set pause time and
the running time.
Reset the pause time and running time if necessary.
Integrated in the lubrication pump is a timer which controls pause and running times. To
access the timer, remove the plug from the lubrication pump.
Precondition p Battery isolation switch is ON.
p One of the hydraulic pumps is ON.
¡ Adjust the pause time in increments of 15 (1, 2, 3,......15 hours) with the blue rotary
switch (A).
¡ Adjust running time in increments of 15 (2, 4, 6,......30 minutes) with the red rotary
switch (B).
0 No thread lubrication
The standard setting for the pulse time is 2 seconds. The time controls the quantity of
grease that comes out onto the threads. The pulse time can be adjusted if necessary, this
is done on time relay (K303).
