Simba 1254 1 Introduction
1 Introduction
1.1 Safety First

Always read the information in the Safety document before starting to use the product or
starting maintenance work.
1.2 The Purpose of This Publication

The objective of these maintenance instructions is to detect and correct the faults at an
early stage so that breakdowns, costly secondary damage, and accidents can be pre-
vented.
Regular maintenance is a precondition for planning necessary interruptions in operation
such as reconditioning and repairs.
The publication allows maintenance to be carried out when most suitable regarding pro-
duction instead of causing a complete breakdown.
1.3 Target Group

The information in this publication is intended for everyone involved in the application, op-
eration, and maintenance of the machine and related equipment. All readers are expected
to possess basic competence regarding mining methods, construction methods, and the
machines used for that kind of operation.
1.4 Product Warranty

The product warranty relies on correct use, maintenance, and repair of the machine and its
components at all times.
• Use only Epiroc original parts. Any damage or operational interruptions caused by us-
ing spare parts of other manufactures than Epiroc will not be covered by warranty.
• Epiroc is not liable for any damage caused by unauthorized modification to the ma-
chine and its equipment.
• Epiroc is not liable for damage caused by inappropriate use.
• Overloading the machine can result in damage to the structure which is not noticed
during normal usage. Such damage is not covered by the warranty.
• Damage that occurs as a result of inadequate maintenance, substandard repairs, or
damage to equipment that is attributable to older unrepaired damage, is not covered
by the warranty.
• Read the Epiroc warranty policy.

Simba 1254 2 About Maintenance Management
2 About Maintenance Management
2.1 Maintenance Management and Hour Meters

Maintenance management is organized in scheduled intervals.
Scheduled intervals supplement each other. A longer interval comprises maintenance
tasks supplementary to tasks from a shorter interval. Maintenance management must be
done regularly at the shortest interval of the unit or function (whichever comes first during
operation of the machine).
Operational maintenance is planned based on the following hour meters:
• Hour meters for the rock drill operation system
• Hour meter for the engine
• Hour meter for the electric motor
• Time-based maintenance is vital for:
– All rubber components
– Lubricants that are at risk of breaking during standstills
– Pressure vessel corrosion and wear
– Substance regression
– Environmental exposure
• Hour meter for the electrical motor.
• Calendar based maintenance applies to all rubber components, lubricants that are at
risk of breaking up during stand stills, pressure vessels corrosion and such where age,
substance regression and environmental exposure are vital to maintenance factors.
! NOTE: Local conditions can affect the scheduled intervals.
2.2 Maintenance Records

Correct record keeping enables maintenance personnel to identify the correct maintenance
records and to evaluate problems and high-cost areas. All maintenance procedures must
be checked off as each inspection or procedure is completed. Quantities of replenished lu-
bricants and fluids, and pressure and flow readings, must be recorded. Any faults or devia-
tions must be recorded irrespective of whether they have been rectified or are waiting for
rectification.
2.3 Oil Analysis

Epiroc recommends the establishment of an oil analysis program. A program with regular
oil analysis can discover problems and the approach of maximum wear limits and the sys-
tem performance checks.
The objective of a preventative maintenance program is diagnosis and repair before failure.
Good sampling techniques and independent laboratory analysis are considered primary el-
ements of a good program.

Simba 1254 2 About Maintenance Management
NOTE: Oil analysis must not be used to determine if oil can be reused after the recom-
mended service life. Replace oil within the recommended service intervals even if the
! oil analysis shows that the oil remains within the set requirements. An extensive analy-
sis program can help to identify the optimum service intervals.

normally used is generally an unsuitable place for repairing hydraulic components. Avoid
repairing hydraulic systems outside workshops.
Observe the following points to minimize interruptions in operation due to contaminated hy-
draulic oil:
• Keep the machine clean.
57 No: 10628142731.1.10628178827 en-US

• Use a degreasing additive for washing.

• Before opening any hydraulic connection, clean the area round it.
• Use clean tools and work with clean hands.
• Always plug hydraulic connections immediately after they are disengaged.
• Use clean protective plugs.
• Hydraulic components, like hoses, valves, and motors, must always be stored with
suitable protective plugs are installed.
• Spare parts for hydraulic components must always be kept in sealed plastic bags.
• Change filter cartridges when filters indicate clogging.

9.9.6 Basic Setting for the Pump
Technical Data
Setting Set with Value
Percussion pump Control valve 200–220 bar
Rotation pump Control valve 120 bar
Percussion Pump Control Valve
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.
69 No: 10628142731.1.10628178827 en-US

• 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.
Rotation Pump Control Valve
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.

9.10.1 Safety Precautions before Pressure Setting
CAUTION
Hazardous Hydraulic Oil Pressure
u Always exercise the greatest caution.
u Pressure settings must only be performed by trained personnel.
70 No: 10628142731.1.10628178827 en-US

9.10.2 Before Settings
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.

9.10.4 Pressure Settings and Rotation Speeds

Suitable rotation speeds for the rock drill and suitable pressure for percussion and anti-
jamming depend on:
• The state of the rock
• Type of drill bit
• Diameter of drill bit
Pressure and speed can therefore require adjustment if the drilling conditions change.
The feed pressure must also be adjusted regarding:
• Dimension of drill rod
• Type of feed
• Percussion pressure
The feed pressure must be set so that the threaded joints of the drill rod equipment do not
come loose, causing abnormal wear or damage. Nor must the pressure be set too high,
subjecting the drill rod to abnormal loads or increasing the risk of jamming.

equipment settings are checked before delivery and sealed.
15.10 Motor Protection Relay Fanox
131 No: 10628142731.1.10628178827 en-US

Each hydraulic pump motor has an electronic motor protection relay. The motor protection
has a green lamp (A) that indicates that the power supply is on and that the output relay is
in operating position. If the motor protection is triggered, the lamp goes off.
The motor protection has three lamps to indicate which type of fault has triggered the pro-
tection.
• Lamp (B) comes on if the permitted motor current is exceeded (over-current). Motor
protection trips because the motor is overloaded (thermal overload).
• Lamp (C) comes on in the event of a phase loss or a phase error. The electric motor
stops or cannot be started
• Lamp (D) comes on if the permitted motor temperature is exceeded (overheating). The
electric motor stops.
• The motor protection can be reset using the reset button (E).
The motor protection has a DIP switch for setting rated current (F) and a DIP switch for
phase sequence monitoring (H). It is possible to set the trip class (G). It also has a reset
button (E) to reset alarms.

15.10.2 Checking if Motor Protection is Triggered
Check which lamp is ON to analyze which protection is triggered.

¡ If lamp (A) is on: The motor current exceeds the set rated current and the motor
protection has tripped.
¡ If lamp (B) is on: Turn off the main power and pull out the plug from the wall socket.
Check the cables in the electric motor circuit and the electric motor.
¡ If lamp (C) is on: Check that the electric motor is properly cooled or if it has been
overloaded for a long time.
Check that the power supply complies with the rated voltage on the data plate. If
the voltage is correct, check the electric motor circuit.
Reset the motor protection with button (D) after the fault has been rectified.
15.10.3 Checking if Motor Protection Is Triggered (for 360–690 V)

The hydraulic pumps' electric motor includes motor protection that is triggered when the
motor is overloaded. The motor protection for the water pump and compressor electric mo-
tors is triggered due to overloading and short-circuiting. If any of these motor protection de-
vices are triggered, an indicator on the electric cabinet comes ON and the following actions
must be taken by an authorized electrician.
133 No: 10628142731.1.10628178827 en-US

1. Determine for which motor protection has been triggered and reset it.
2. Check that the voltage displayed on the combined voltmeter and ammeter corre-
sponds with the rated voltage on the electric motor data plate.
3. Set the correct motor protection setting value on the relevant motor.
Motor protection for compressor electric motor (F126) and the motor protection for
water pump electric motor(F131) must be set to the rated current shown on the re-
spective motor data plate.
Motor protection (F60)for the hydraulic pump electric motor for 380-690 V must be
set to the current in phase, which is 0.58 times rated motor current.
15.10.4 Setting Rated Current

The motor protection must be set to the rated current of the motor unless the motor has a
service factor (SF) higher than 1.0.
The motor protection has a basic value of 4 A for GL 16, 15 A for GL 40, 40 A for GL 90 or
60 A for GL 200 that must be considered when setting.
The value set for direct start must consequently be 4, 15, 40 or 60 A lower than the rated
current for the motor, alternatively 4, 15, 40 or 60 A lower than the rated current for the mo-
tor times the service factor (1.15 or 1.3). For Y/D start the value must be as above but
times 0.58.
The rated current and service factor are specified on the engine data plate.
¡ If the service factor is 1.15, set the motor protection to a value 15% higher than the
rated current.
¡ If the service factor is 1.3, set the motor protection to a value 30% higher than the
rated current.
¡ Set the trip class to a value of 35.
Settings are made using DIP switches on the motor protection.
15.10.5 Fuses for Carrier

The electrical system is protected by two 10 A automatic circuit breakers and three 16 A
automatic circuit breakers that are fitted inside the driving panel.
A main fuse of 50 A is fitted on the battery compartment next to the main power contractor.
There is also a 16 A fuse fitted next to the main fuse. This fuse protects the carrier electri-
cal system and battery if any fault arises in the electric cabinet.

17.8 Checking Accumulator Charge Pressure
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-
! lated contact points before starting the work.
! NOTE: Protect hoses and unions with plugs and caps as they are detached.
Precondition p Diesel engine is switched off.

p Brake system is depressurized.
1. Connect a pressure gauge to the pressure test outlet (110) on the accumulator
block.
2. Check all accumulators one by one.
3. Monitor the pressure in the brake system.
4. Press the brake pedal repeatedly.
5. Monitor the pressure gauge.
6. Press the brake pedal when pressure gauge pressure exceeds 50–55 bar (725–
797 psi).
7. Record the lowest pressure displayed on the pressure gauge.

The pressure must be at least 35 bar (507 psi).
157 No: 10628142731.1.10628178827 en-US

8. Repeat steps one to eight with a pressure gauge on another pressure test outlet
(110).
NOTE: Scrap the accumulator and replace it with a new one if

! this charge pressure is not obtained.
9. Start the engine to get the full brake pressure.
10. Bleed the brake system.

See topic Bleeding the Brakes.
17.9 Checking Brake Pressure Control Valve

1. Connect a pressure gauge to the pressure test outlet at DS2.
2. Start the engine.
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).
5. Stop the engine when maximum pressure is reached.
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:
a. Air in the brake lines.
b. There is no charge pressure in an accumulator or the pressure is too low. For

example, due to a broken diaphragm.
For identifying uncharged or poorly charged accumulators, see topic Checking Ac-
cumulator Charge Pressure.
17.10 Checking Accumulators
158 No: 10628142731.1.10628178827 en-US

Check the accumulators if there is no charge pressure or low pressure in one or more ac-
cumulators.
NOTE: The system may still be pressurized even when the brake pressure gauge indi-
! cates zero pressure.
Precondition p All relevant contact points are cleaned.

p Hoses and unions are protected with plugs and caps as they are detached.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Push and hold the brake pedal repeatedly until the fluid stops flowing through the
brake valve.
è Hissing sound that accompanies when the brake pedal is pushed ceases.
3. Connect a pressure gauge to the pressure test outlet (17) in the accumulator circuit
being checked.
4. Remove the connecting hoses on the accumulator block and plug them in all the
accumulator circuits except the one being checked first.
5. Pull out the stop control and crank the starter motor.
è The pressure gauge indicates a rapid increase in pressure to the lowest pres-
sure with which an accumulator is charged and then rises slowly.
Replace the accumulator if the charge pressure is lower than 35 bar (507 psi).
The system must be depressurized before the accumulator is replaced.
6. Depressurize the system.
7. Disconnect the hoses from the tested accumulator.
8. Repeat steps 4 to 6 on all the remaining accumulators.
9. Reconnect Y200.
10. Start the engine and let it run at high speed until the maximum brake pressure of
145–155 bar (2103–2248 psi) is achieved.
11. Reduce the engine speed to idling.
12. Bleed the brake system.

18.1 Power Supply Cable
WARNING
Risk of Short Circuit or Fire
Can cause serious injuries or death.
Can cause material damage.
u Make sure that you use a cable with sufficient area for the current ambient temperature
and power output of the machine.
u Make sure that the cable is intact before using the machine. Replace the cable in the
event of damage, discoloration, or deformation.
u Make sure that the cable is routed on the tunnel floor so that it is protected from being
driven over by other mobile machines.
u Unwind the whole cable for intensive operation.
u Make sure that the cable does not overheat during intensive use of the machine.
For intensive operation with short intervals for cooling down, there is a risk of the cable
overheating. For instance, during long drilling cycles with a short time between the cycles.
Many external factors affect the ability of the cable to cool down. For example:
• The number of layers on the reel.
• The ambient temperature.
• The air exchange.
• The dirt accumulation.
Therefore, make a habit of always unreeling the entire length of the cable during operation.
