4.3 Top sub installation
Before installing a new top sub, ensure that the sealing pipe is deep
enough inside the floating spindle. The front face of the sealing pipe should
be at least 75 mm deep from the front face of the floating spindle.
4.4 Replacing the top sub

1. Clean the rotation head, top sub, break out table, guide jaws, and any
other components at the lower part of the feed assembly.
2. Remove the drill string from the drilling center, put the pipes into the
magazine, and take the hammer off the rig.
3. Tram the drill rig to a safe and level place, and level out the drill rig using
the oscillation cylinders.
4. Move the rotation head near the front end but leave enough room for the
removing tool.
5. Rotate the main shaft so that the removing tool can be installed.

5 MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
5.1 Scheduled maintenance
The idea of scheduled maintenance is to take the rotation head in for
servicing before a failure stops it during operation. This will prevent
expensive consequential failures and downtime that adversely affects
production.
The maintenance interval varies according to local conditions and must
therefore be determined on the basis of experience.
When defining the correct maintenance interval, initially the manufacturer's
scheduled maintenance interval should be consulted first and then the
maintenance interval should be adjusted until a suitable maintenance
interval for local conditions is determined.
The rotation head seals are considered as wear components. A leaking
seal must be replaced as soon as possible to avoid further damage to the
rotation head.
In addition to this, the rotation head should undergo maintenance whenever
the operator reports a malfunction that could lead to a failure or production
downtime.
5.2 Daily maintenance

5.2.1 Hydraulic rotation head HTRH6
Checking the possible leaks

1. Check the rotation head for leaks.
If there is a leak, determine the cause for it and repair the source to avoid
further damage. Refer to the rotation head's technical manual.
5.3 Periodic maintenance

5.3.1 Hydraulic rotation head HTRH6
Checking the installation of the floating spindle

When taking a new rotation head into use or if the floating spindle has been
removed, check the tightness of the thread after one hour of drilling.
1. Check that the end faces of the thread are attached to each other.
2. Retighten the floating spindle if there is a gap between the end faces.

ID: BG00513953 en-US E.001.1 2017-03-30
HTRH6 Rotation head
Checking the condition of the shaft seals

1. Check the shaft seals for possible leaks.
A seal is leaking if there is a noticeable air flow from:
• a pressure relief valve
• under the seal lip of the front seal
• under the seal lip of the floating spindle's shaft seal.
2. Replace any leaking seals.

ID: BG00513953 en-US E.001.1 2017-03-30
HTRH6 Rotation head
Greasing the rotation head

Note! The floating spindle and the flushing head are greased with different
types of grease. Refer to the section 'Lubricants and capacities' for
the correct grease types.
1. Grease the flushing head from the grease nipples (4 pcs).

Every grease nipple delivers grease to a different section of the rotation
head, therefore it is important to apply grease through every grease
nipple.
Apply grease until fresh grease starts to come out.
2. Grease the floating spindle from the grease nipples (2 pcs).

Apply grease the amount of ten strikes of the standard grease press.

ID: BG00513953 en-US E.001.1 2017-03-30
HTRH6 Rotation head
Checking the fastening of the rotation head
Note! Only use a calibrated, high-quality torque wrench.
1. Check the tightness of the mounting bolts (18 pcs) to slide piece frames.
2. Tighten any loose bolts.
The correct tightening torque is 120 Nm.
Checking the tightness of the floating spindle bolts
Note! Only use a calibrated, high-quality torque wrench.
1. Check the tightness of the bolts (12 pcs).

6 REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
6.1 General
WARNING
CRUSHING HAZARD!
Falling rotation head components could cause death or severe
injury.
Do not disassemble the rotation head without supporting the
removed components with a hoist and suitable lifting equipment.
If any of the flanges are opened, clean the mounting surfaces before
reassembling and apply protection oil on the surfaces. Apply the oil only
outside of the O-ring and not into the threaded holes. The correct oil type is
corrosion protection oil Cortec VpCl-369.
