1.2 The Purpose of This Publication


The objective of these instructions is to detect and rectify faults at an early stage so that
breakdowns, costly secondary damage and accidents can be prevented. Regular mainte-
nance is a precondition for planning necessary interruptions in operation such as recondi-
tioning and repairs. This allows work to be carried out when it's most suitable with regard to
production instead of causing complete breakdown.

2.3 Cleaning

2.3.1 Safety Precautions Before Cleaning

WARNING
Serious Injury
Risk of personal injury
u Always read general safety regulations before starting maintenance work. Refer to
Safety manual.
u Always turn off the equipment and the main switch before cleaning and maintenance
work is carried out. Set up WORK IN PROGRESS warning signs at the main switch
and control positions.
u Be aware of the units kinetic energy due to accumulated hydraulic pressure. Relieve
pressure in hydraulic, water, and compressed air systems and always secure moving
units.

2.3.2 Cleaning
1. Clean the Rock Drill frequently from rock fragments, drill cuttings and accumula-
tions of dust.

2. Clear away fragments of rock and other objects from air, water and hydraulic hoses
and cables frequently to avoid the risk of chafing on sharp edges.

3. Rinse the Rock Drill with water after every work shift. Use only rinsing pressure and
avoid spraying directly at seals. Wipe away any accumulations of water.

2.3.3 Hydraulic Hoses

WARNING
Serious injury
Risk of serious injury to the eyes, hands and skin.
u Never work on the lubrication system when it is pressurized. Lubrication air and oil may
spray out.
u Never use hands or fingers to locate a leakage.
u Always use gloves and eye protection.

10 No: 9853 1345 01i. en-US


COP MD20 Ver.A 2 General Information

WARNING
Serious Injury
Risk of abrasions and crushing injuries.
u Always change damaged hoses and couplings.

• Wet areas around hoses and connections is a sign for leaks that can cause spurting oil
or burst hoses if the leak worsens.
• The hose casing must be intact without any swelling (sign of inner hose or cord break-
age).
• Couplings must not have indentations or cracks and must make a secure connection.
Retighten or feel the coupling connection manually if a leak is suspected.
• Check that all hose attachments and clamps are intact. Loose attachments means that
hoses are damaged or get jammed during angle adjustment or when lowering the ma-
chine.
• Replace or rectify in the event of any faults.

2.4 Hydraulic Components

2.4.1 General
The hydraulic system is sensitive to contamination. The environment where the machine is
normally used is generally an unsuitable place for repairing hydraulic components. Inter-
vention in hydraulic systems in workplaces must be limited. Components must be repaired
in an adapted environment, refer to Hydraulic Workshops.
Observe the following points to avoid breakdowns and interruptions in operation due to
fouled hydraulic oil:
• Keep the machine clean. Hose it down at regular intervals using a degreasing additive.
• Before opening any connection, clean the area around it.
• Use clean tools and work with clean hands.
• Always plug hydraulic connections immediately after they have been detached. Use
clean protective plugs.
• Hydraulic components like hoses, valves, engines must always be stored with suitable
protective plugs fitted in place.

2.4.2 Hydraulic Workshops


Workshops that are used for the repair of hydraulic components must:

11 No: 9853 1345 01i. en-US


COP MD20 Ver.A 2 General Information

• Be separate from activities which generate dust and particles, such as welding, grind-
ing, and transportation of machines.
• Have their own suitable washing equipment necessary for repairing the components.
• Use only tools from a hydraulic workshop consisting of standard and special tools.
• Have a ventilation system that does not allow dust into the premises.
• Use trained mechanics.

2.4.3 Hydraulic Hose Replacement


Hose requirements are according to ISO 4413:2010.
High pressure system with alternating pressure levels and high peaks.
Load, vibration, and other mechanical stresses place high demands on hydraulic hoses.
When replacing hydraulic hoses, check that they are replaced with hydraulic hoses:
• With the correct pressure rating according to rig manual
• With the correct crimped couplings
• Of the correct quality class
• Of the correct dimensions
Always make sure that hose couplings are clean, not damaged and properly tightened.
All pressurized hoses have pressed couplings and can therefore be purchased ready made
from Epiroc. Grades and dimensions of hoses are specified in the spare part catalog for
the machine in question.

2.5 Welding
• All welding on the Rock Drill is forbidden.

2.6 Prepare for Long Period of Storage or Marine


Transportation
Action must be taken to protect the equipment from corrosion and storage damage if stor-
age expected to last longer than three months or it will be exposed to marine environment.
• Wash the equipment and thoroughly wipe it dry. Use compressed air to blow any accu-
mulated water out of cavities and pockets.
• Store the equipment in a temperature-, and humidity-controlled environment. Recom-
mended storage environments maintain a temperature of 10-20 °C and max 20–50%
humidity.
• Purge the flushing system with dry air. Add lubrication oil (COP Oil) to the air to protect
against corrosion.
• Purge the lubrication system (ECL) with dry air. Add extra lubrication oil (COP Oil) and
increase the number of lubrication pulses for (minimum) five minutes.
• Apply corrosive prevention compound to the shank adapter. Make sure that the area
for flushing air and flushing water is also protected.
• Apply corrosive prevention compound to untreated machine surfaces.
• Clean old grease away from lubrication points to prevent residue buildup. Pump fresh
grease into each lubrication nipple. Make sure that you use the correct quantity and
type of grease for each point.
• Hoses and rubber parts can be packed in airtight plastic to reduce desiccation. Make
sure that the components are dry before packing.

COP MD20 Ver.A 13 Lubrication

13 Lubrication

13.1 Hydraulic and Lubricant Recommendations

13.1.1 Hydraulic Fluid


The hydraulic fluid of rock drill, in addition to containing decent lubrication properties,
should provide superior protection against wear, rust and oxidation, as well as good an-
tifoaming, water resistance, and air separation properties. For a hydraulic fluid, it is essen-
tial to have high shear stability, to ensure that viscosity and viscosity index remain con-
stant, even at high-pressure drops over sealing gaps and valves. The use of an appropri-
ate hydraulic fluid with proper viscosity, guarantee minimum energy losses in hydraulic
systems.
There are various hydraulic fluids to fulfil all limit values of viscosity as required for different
operating conditions and ambient temperatures. Various types of oils across these ranges,
may differ from mineral to synthetic based. Epiroc recommends the use of hydraulic fluids,
which conform to standards ISO 11158 HM, DIN 51524 HLP/HVLP and ISO 15380 (for en-
vironmentally friendly hydraulic fluids and biodegradable options).
Hydraulic fluids shall be chosen in relation to operational requirements and varying temper-
ature ranges. It is important to select a hydraulic fluid of the correct viscosity (VG), suited to
your operating temperature and environment. Viscosity is highly affected by temperature. A
high viscosity index (VI), reduces the effect of temperature on the hydraulic fluid. The fol-
lowing table can be used to choose an appropriate viscosity grade (VG) and viscosity index
(VI), based on your needs:

Normal Operat- Min. Start Temp Max. Operating Viscosity Grade Viscosity Index
ing Temp °C °C Temp °C VG VI
Viscosity 25-50 ISO 3448
cSt

+50 to +70 +5 +80 ISO VG 100 Min. 100

+45 to +60 -5 +75 ISO VG 68 Min. 100

+35 to +50 -10 +65 ISO VG 46 Min. 100

+25 to +40 -15 +55 ISO VG 32 Min. 100

+10 to +25 -25 +35 ISO VG 15 Min. 100

NOTE: In compliance with ISO 4406, the hydraulic fluid must be filtered to the purity
! class of 20/18/15.

If viscosity is too low:


• The hydraulic fluid may not form a lubricating layer between surfaces, thus increasing
the risk of wear.
• The hydraulic fluid can leak past seals more easily in the rock drill, causing fluid losses
and increasing energy requirements.
If viscosity is too high:

105 No: 9853 1345 01i. en-US


COP MD20 Ver.A 13 Lubrication

• Flow losses in the hydraulic lines are increased. The high flow losses amplify energy
consumption and pressure levels, and put increased strain on seals.
• The risk of cavitation increases, which leads to the risk of damage to the rock drill and
hydraulic pumps.
The hydraulic fluid must be changed at regular intervals
Oil viscosity changes during the period that the hydraulic fluid is used. In general, viscosity
will drop with increased operating hours. To ensure that the viscosity of the fluid does not
drop to a critical level before the recommended service interval, a hydraulic fluid of suffi-
cient stability must be used. In compliance with DIN 51350-6, viscosity of suitable hydraulic
fluids shall drop a maximum of 25% when tested at 100 ºC for shear stability.
Factors influencing the interval between changes are:
• Viscous stability of the hydraulic fluid as specified above. The hydraulic fluid must be
changed before the viscosity drops to a critical level.
• Contamination with water. If the hydraulic fluid becomes cloudy and light grey, the wa-
ter content has become such that the hydraulic fluid must be changed.
• Deterioration of properties such as oxidation inhibition and anti-foaming.

13.1.2 Pneumatic Tool Oil


Pneumatic tool oil is used for cooling and lubricating your rock drill. Depending on ambient
temperature, the oil should have the following viscosity grades if the viscosity index (VI) is
about 100:

Ambient Temperature C° Viscosity

-30 to ±0 VG 32-68

-10 to +20 VG 68-100

+10 to +50 VG 100-150

The tool oil must have an EP additive which covers the following load-bearing properties:

Referenced Standard Load-Bearing Property

ASTM D 2783 Min. 250 kg

ASTM D 4172 (40 kg) Max. 0.5 mm

The tool oil should also have the following properties:

COP MD20 Ver.A 13 Lubrication

13.1.3 Grease
Considering the high operating temperature in the rock drill gear housing, always use a
high-temperature grease with lithium complex soap based on a synthetic base fluid (polyal-
phaolefin/synthetic ester) with EP additive, and additives that protect against oxidation, cor-
rosion and wear at high loads. The grease should meet the specifications, specified in the
table below:

NLGI Number Drop Point Base Oil Viscosity Operating Temp

2 260 °C 220 cSt at 40 °C -15 to +150 °C

NOTE: Molybdenum (Molybdenum disulfide) grease is harmful for seals and shall be
! avoided.

Epiroc recommends the use of Epiroc COP GREASE, which has been specially developed
for our hydraulic rock drills, and is suitable to be used in both gear housing and flushing
seals. COP Grease withstands temperatures between -40ºC to +150ºC, and temperatures
of up to 220ºC during shorter periods. COP Grease is developed to be implemented in
both arctic and tropical conditions, and can be ordered with the following part numbers:
