1 Introduction
WARNING
Serious injury
Risk of personal injury!
u Never operate the Rock Drill in any explosive environment.
u Always read the machine Safety Manual before start maintenance work on the Rock
Drill.
u Always observe local regulations.
u Always let the Rock Drill to cool down before maintenance work.
u Always carry out a documented risk analysis and take the necessary precautions be-
fore maintenance work.
u Only use clean, calibrated tools in good condition.
u Only use approved handling and working equipment in good condition.
u Always use personal protective equipment.
u During maintenance work, the equipment should be shut down, in service mode, and
the main switch turned off and locked.
u Attach WORK IN PROGRESS signs according to local regulations, or at least at the
main switch and operator's station.
WARNING
Serious injury or death
Serious danger when working on the hydraulic system!
u Ensure that the air, water and hydraulic system is depressurised before starting work.
u Adjacent moving units should always be anchored before working on a system part.
u Always stop work if there is an unforeseen or suspected risk.
The maintenance instructions are intended for use by maintenance and service personnel.
Persons working to these instructions must have completed relevant Epiroc training for the
Rock Drill.

2 General Information
2.3 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.
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.
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.
2.4.1 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.
• 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.
2.5 Welding
• All welding on the Rock Drill is forbidden.
WARNING
Risk of Lifting the Rock Drill
Incorrect handling can cause serious crushing injury or death.
u Use extreme caution when strapping and lifting heavy objects.
u Lifting must be done through the center of gravity.
u Only use straps that are intact and designed for the load they will carry.
u Do not approach a suspended load.
1. Attach the two straps to the intended lifting points according to the figure.
2. Lift the rock drill carefully through the center of gravity. Make sure the rock drill is
balanced and the two straps do not slip.

NOTE: In compliance with ISO 4406, the hydraulic fluid must be filtered to the purity
! class of 20/18/15.
• 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.
-30 to ±0 VG 32-68
The tool oil must have an EP additive which covers the following load-bearing properties:
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:
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:
