2 SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS

2.1 Safety instructions
WARNING
HYDRAULIC FLUID INJECTION HAZARD!
High-pressure hydraulic fluid sprays can penetrate the skin and
could cause death or severe injury.
Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard or wood. Never try to
locate a leak by feeling with your hand. Seek immediate medical
attention if you are hit by a hydraulic fluid spray.
Allow the pressure to be released from the hydraulic circuit before
opening the plugs or connectors.
WARNING! BURN HAZARD!

The oil circulating in the hydraulic system is hot, and can cause burn
injury if it comes into contact with skin.
Let the oil cool down before starting any maintenance work.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD!
Incorrect handling of the used oil can harm the environment.
Dispose of waste oil properly in accordance with local environmental
regulations.
RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE!

Dirt is the primary cause of faults in all hydraulic systems.
Contaminated oil is a major cause of premature component failure.
NOTICE Before changing the oil, clean the exterior of the receiver thoroughly,
to prevent dirt and other foreign matter from entering the system.
Use compressed air to blow the parts clean, and wipe them with a
clean, lint-free cloth before assembly.
Ensure that the equipment cannot be accidentally switched on

before and during maintenance or repair work.
Do not use the rig before you have participated in machine-specific

operation and maintenance training. Read the operation and
maintenance instructions before using or servicing the equipment.
Do not attempt to carry out repair or adjustment tasks that you do
not fully understand.

3.5 Hydraulic system filters

The system uses pressure, return oil, breather air and optional by-pass
filtering. Pressure filtering is only used in the variable displacement pump of
percussion/feed (1) circuit and optional by-pass filtering is only used in the
variable displacement pump of rotation (2) circuit. Return oil and breather
air filtering are common to variable displacement pumps (1) and (2).

8.4 Oil drain screw
The hydraulic oil is filtered immediately after the variable displacement

pump (1) in a pressure filter (8). The filtering level of the filter is 20 µm abs,
and the maximum operating pressure is 420 bar.
The filter is equipped with a clogging indicator (8.1) that indicates that the
filter is clogged when the pressure difference between the dirty and clean
side is 5 bar. The by-pass valve (8.3) opens when the pressure difference
between the dirty and clean sides exceeds 6 bar.
Note! If the hydraulic oil is cold (below +30 °C), the clogging sensor is
switched off so that high oil viscosity does not cause false alarms.
The recommended oil temperature during drilling is 40-60 °C.

ID: BG00560979 en-US D.002.1 2019-01-03
3.5.2 Return oil filter

The hydraulic oil from the different mechanisms is directed into the
collecting piece (7), after which it flows through the cooler to the return oil
filter (4.3) and from there to the hydraulic oil receiver (4).
The filtering level of the filter is 10 µm abs. If the pressure difference
exceeds 2 bars, the clogging sensor activates and the filter clogging
indicator gives a warning on the main screen. The filter by-pass valve
(4.3.1) opens when the pressure difference exceeds 3 bars.
The manufacturer's recommendation for the purity class of the system is
20/15/12 according to the ISO 4406 (c) -standard.
Note! The temperature of the hydraulic oil is monitored by a temperature
sensor (4.5) installed in the hydraulic oil receiver (4). If the oil
temperature exceeds +65 °C, the control system gives a notice and if
the oil temperature exceeds +75 °C, the control system gives a
warning and stops the power pack(s).
3.5.3 Breather air filter

The hydraulic oil receiver (4) is equipped with a breather air filter (4.2) with
a filtering level of 5 µm.
The filter is equipped with two check valves that prevent the oil to spill out
or run off through the breather air filter, even if machine tips over. Because
of the breather air filter (4.2) structure, there is 0.3 bar overpressure in the
hydraulic oil receiver (4).
The filter is not equipped with a clogging indicator, but the hydraulic oil
cleanliness requirements necessitate that the filter is replaced in
accordance with the maintenance instructions.

valve (9) which directs the oil flow from the higher rotation pressure line to
the by-pass filter (10) whenever the power pack is running. Oil flow is
limited to 2.0 l/min by the pressure compensated flow control valve (10.1).
The filtering unit body is equipped with a by-pass valve (10.4) that protects
the filter element (10.2) and opens if the pressure difference exceeds 3.5
bar.
The filtering level of the filter is 2 µm abs and the maximum operating
pressure is 250 bar. The filter is equipped with a clogging indicator (10.3)
that activates and gives a warning on the main screen, if the pressure
difference exceeds 2 bar.

The filter is equipped with a clogging indicator (33.2) that indicates that the
filter is clogged when the pressure difference between dirty and clean side
is 5 bar. The by-pass valve (33.3) opens when the pressure difference
between the dirty and clean sides exceeds 6 bar.
The check valve (33.4) prevents the oil flow through the filter element,
when oil flows from the stabilizer valve block (22) to the rock drill (24)
stabilizer. Instead, the check valve (33.5) directs the oil flow through the
filter element, when oil flows from the rock drill (24) stabilizer to the
stabilizer valve block (22).

Free circulation means a situation where the powerpack is running, but no

hydraulic actuators are used.
Rotation circuit
The variable displacement pump (2) takes oil in from the receiver (4),
through the intake connection (S) and pumps it into the rotation circuit. As
there is no consumption of oil in the rotation circuit, it means that there is no
pressure in the load sensing line. The swash plate of the pump (2) is almost
at an angle of zero and the pump (2) maintains a stand-by pressure in the
pressure line. The stand-by pressure is adjusted by the flow controller of
the pump (2).
The variable displacement pump (2) also pumps a small amount of oil via
the shuttle valve (9) to the by-pass filter (10) and further to the receiver (4).
Percussion and feed circuits

The variable displacement pump (1) takes oil in from the receiver (4),
through the intake connection (S) and pumps it into the percussion and
feed circuits via the pressure filter (8). As there is no consumption of oil in
the feed and percussion circuits, it means that there is no pressure in the
load sensing line. The swash plate of the pump (1) is almost at an angle of
zero and the pump (1) maintains a stand-by pressure in the pressure lines.
The stand-by pressure is adjusted by the flow controller of the pump (1).
Oil flows from the percussion circuit through the pilot oil filter (20.26) to the
pilot oil pressure reducing and relief valve (20.27), which generates the
required pressure to the pilot line which is common for all the pilot valves.
In addition, the pilot oil pressure reducing and relief valve (20.27) generates
the pilot pressure for the flushing valves and SLU. The operation of the pilot
pressure unit is similar during all modes of operation.
From the percussion and feed circuits oil also flows through the stabilizer
valve block (22) to the percussion mechanism (24).
OA-cooler (optional) and HVAC circuits

The gear pump (3) takes oil in from the receiver (4), through the intake
connection (S) and pumps it into OA and HVAC circuit. If the machine is
equipped with an optional OA-cooler, the coil (Y392) of the OA-cooler on/off
solenoid valve (29.1) is activated during free circulation because the oil
temperature remains low. Thus the oil flows into the HVAC circuit through
the OA-cooler control block (29).
Utility boom (optional)

If the machine is equipped with an optional utility boom, the gear pump (31)
takes oil in form the receiver (4) and pumps it through the non-return valve
to the free circulation valve of the utility boom control valve block. From
there the oil flows through the collecting piece (7) to the receiver (4).

Rotation is switched on by the operator or by the control system. For

example turning the rock drill joystick left activates the pilot control valve
Y5A (20.4) and thus the counterclockwise rotation. The pilot control valve
Y5A (20.4) directs the pilot pressure proportional to control current to the
other end of the rotation main spool (20.1). The main spool (20.1) moves
proportional to pilot pressure applied to it. Simultaneously oil begins to flow
from the variable displacement pump of rotation (2) to the connection port
P1 of the drilling control valve block (20).
From port P1 oil flows to the rotation circuit main pressure relief valve
(20.3) which limits the maximum pressure of the rotation circuit to 250 bar.
Oil also flows to the rotation line pressure compensator (20.2) and from
there onwards via the main spool of rotation (20.1) to the port A1. The
pressure compensator (20.2) maintains the pressure difference over the
main spool of rotation (20.1) constant regardless of input and load pressure
changes. The constant pressure difference over the main spool again
means the constant flow rate and thus the constant rotation speed.
In addition, oil flows to the port X of the flow regulator of variable
displacement pump (2) via the main spool (20.1) and the shuttle valve
(20.7). The flow regulator of the rotation variable displacement pump (2) is
actuated by the load pressure and adjusts the pump's angle. The flow
regulator tries to keep the pressure in the main pressure line P always
20-23 bar, depending on the adjustment, higher than rotation LS-line
pressure. If the machine is equipped with an optional electro-hydraulic
proportional rotation LS pressure relief valve (20.6), the LS pressure of
rotation can be controlled. The LS pressure is controlled only during
threading. The LS pressure relief valve (20.6) limits the maximum rotation
LS pressure to 210 bar.
The highest rotation pressure is directed from the working lines to the
rotation pressure sensor B5P (15) through the shuttle valve (20.8). This
pressure information is sent to the control system and shown on GUI. From
connection A1 of the drilling control valve block (20) oil continues to flow to
the hydraulic motor of rotation mechanism (23). Return oil flows from the
hydraulic motor of rotation mechanism (23) to the drilling control valve block
(20) port B1, through the main spool (20.1) and drilling control valve block
(20) port T2 to the collecting piece (7). From there oil flows via the OW-
cooler (5) or optional OA-cooler (30) to the hydraulic oil receiver (4) port T1.
Turning the rock drill joystick right activates the pilot control valve Y5B
(20.5) and the clockwise rotation. The pilot control valve Y5B (20.5) directs
the pilot pressure proportional to control current to the other end of the
main spool (20.1) and it moves proportional to the pilot pressure applied to
it. Activation of pilot control valve Y5B (20.5) allows oil to flow from port P1
to the port B1 of the drilling control block (20). Rest of the oil circulation in
rotation circuit is similar compared to oil circulation during counterclockwise
rotation.

ID: BG00560979 en-US D.002.1 2019-01-03
OA-cooling (optional)
If the machine is equipped with an optional OA-cooling, the gear pump (3)
takes oil in from the receiver (4) and pumps it into OA-cooler control block
(29). When the oil temperature measured by the temperature sensor (4.5)
exceeds the value set in the control system, the coil Y392 of the OA-cooler
on/off solenoid valve (29.1) is not active and oil flows to the OA-cooler
hydraulic motor (30.1) and to the pressure relief valve (29.3). The pressure
relief valve (29.3) sets the pressure difference and thus the rotation speed
of the hydraulic motor (30.1), which rotates the cooler fan. From the
pressure relief valve (29.3) oil flows via the HVAC circuit to the collecting
piece (7). The leak oil flows from the hydraulic motor (30.1) port D to the
receiver (4) port L10.
The return oil flows form the collecting piece (7) through the OA-cooler (30)
port IN1 to the cooler cell (30.2). The thermostat valve (30.4) controls the
oil flow and guides oil to the cooler cell (30.2) when temperature rises
above the set value. Cooler cell (30.2) removes the heat from the oil and
cooled oil flows to the receiver (4) port T1.

Feed is moved by the operator or by the control system. For example

pushing the rock drill joystick forward activates the pilot control valve Y3A
(20.20) and thus the feed forward movement. The pilot control valve Y3A
(20.20) directs the pilot pressure proportional to control current to the other
end of the feed main spool (20.16). The main spool (20.16) moves
proportional to pilot pressure applied to it. Simultaneously oil begins to flow
from the percussion/feed variable displacement pump (1) through the
pressure filter (8) to the connection port P2 of the drilling control valve block
(20).
From port P2 oil flows to the feed line pressure compensator (20.17) and
from there onwards via the main spool of feed (20.16) to the port A2. The
pressure compensator (20.17) maintains the pressure difference over the
main spool of feed (20.16) constant regardless of input and load pressure
changes. This results in constant flow rate and constant feed speed.
In addition, oil flows to LS-line via the main spool of feed (20.16). The
pressure in feed LS-line affects also to the pressure compensator (20.17).
The level of feed LS pressure is controlled and limited by the electro
proportional pressure relief valve (20.22). Limiting of LS pressure also
affects to the pressure compensator (20.17) causing it to throttle the flow in
the main feed line. This causes the feed pressure, and as a result the feed
force, to drop to a desired level. The electro-hydraulic proportional feed LS
pressure relief valve (20.22) limits the maximum pressure to 210 bar. When
the feed LS pressure is the highest pressure, oil continues to flow via the
shuttle valves (20.24), (20.15), (11) and (13) to the port X of the flow
regulator of variable displacement pump (1). The flow regulator of the
percussion/feed variable displacement pump (1) is actuated by the load
pressure and adjusts the pump's angle. The flow regulator of the pump tries
to keep the pressure in the main pressure line P always approximately 30
bar, depending on the adjustment, higher than the LS-line pressure.
The highest feed pressure is directed from the working lines to the feed
pressure sensor B11P (17) through the shuttle valve (20.23). This pressure
information is sent to the control system and shown on GUI. The shock/
anti-cavitation valves (20.18) and (20.19) protect the actuator ports A2 and
B2 against pressure peaks and external forces by limiting the port A2
maximum pressure to 200 bar and port B2 maximum pressure to 240 bar.
From connection P2 oil also reaches the percussion/feed circuit main
pressure relief valve (20.25) which limits the maximum pressure of the feed
circuit to 270 bar.
From connection A2 of the drilling control valve block (20) oil continues to
flow to the feed cylinder (26). Return oil flows from the feed cylinder (26) to
the drilling control valve block (20) port B2, through the main spool (20.16)
and drilling control valve block (20) port T2 to the collecting piece (7). From
there oil flows via the OW-cooler (5) or optional OA-cooler (30) to the
hydraulic oil receiver (4) port T1.
Cooling and HVAC circuits operate as described in chapter Rotation.
Pulling the rock drill joystick backwards activates the pilot control valve Y3B
(20.21) and the feed backward movement. The pilot control valve Y3B
(20.21) directs the pilot pressure proportional to control current to the other

ID: BG00560979 en-US D.002.1 2019-01-03
end of the main spool (20.16) and it moves proportional to the pilot
pressure applied to it. Activation of pilot control valve Y3B (20.21) allows oil
to flow from port P2 to the port B2 of the drilling control block (20). Rest of
the oil circulation in feed circuit is similar compared to oil circulation during
feed forward movement.
TFX feed (optional)

If the machine is equipped with an optional TFX feed cylinder (27) and feed
forward movement is activated by the pilot control valve Y3A (20.20), oil
flows from the drilling control valve block (20) port A2 to the TFX collector
piece (27.2) and from there onwards to the TFX feed cylinder (27) and
simultaneously through the TFX one way restrictor valve (27.1) to the feed
mechanism and its feed cylinder (26).
Return oil flows from the feed cylinder (26) through the pressure relief valve
(28.1) of the TFX control block (28) to the drilling control valve block (20)
port B2. Simultaneously return oil from the TFX feed cylinder (27) flows
through the TFX bottom cylinder chamber control valve (28.3) of the TFX
control block (28) to the drilling control valve block (20) port B2. From port
B2 oil flows through the main spool (20.16) and drilling control valve block
(20) port T2 to the collecting piece (7). From there oil flows via the OW-
cooler (5) or optional OA-cooler (30) to the hydraulic oil receiver (4) port T1.
Pulling the rock drill joystick backwards activates the pilot control valve Y3B
(20.21) and the feed backward movement. This causes oil to flow from the
drilling control valve block (20) port B2 to the TFX control block (28) and via
the TFX bottom cylinder chamber control valve (28.3) to the TFX feed
cylinder (27). Simultaneously oil flows from port B2 to the feed cylinder (26)
via the pressure relief valve (28.1).
Return oil from the TFX feed cylinder (27) flows to the TFX collector piece
(27.2) and simultaneously from the feed cylinder (26) via the TFX one way
restrictor valve (27.1) also to the TFX collector piece (27.2). From there oil
flows to the drilling control valve block (20) port A2 and onwards through
the main spool (20.16) and drilling control valve block (20) port T2 to the
collecting piece (7). From there oil flows via the OW-cooler (5) or optional
OA-cooler (30) to the hydraulic oil receiver (4) port T1. The TFX one way
restrictor valve (27.1) controls that the TFX feed cylinder returns at home
position before the primary feed cylinder.

Percussion is activated by the operator or by the control system. Activation

of percussion function activates the percussion selector valve Y1 (20.9) and
the connection from the percussion 2-way cartridge valve (20.10) spring
chamber opens to the tank line. This releases the control pressure from the
percussion 2-way cartridge valve (20.10) and the flow path opens.
Simultaneously oil begins to flow from the variable displacement pump of
percussion and feed (1) through the pressure filter (8) to the connection
port P2 of the drilling control valve block (20). From port P2 oil flows
through the percussion pressure compensator (20.11) to the percussion 2-
way cartridge valve (20.10) and onwards to the drilling control valve block
(20) port A. The percussion pressure compensator (20.11) is normally open
but if the pump's (1) pressure level rises above the selected percussion
pressure due to the feed or boom functions, the compensator (20.11)
lowers the percussion pressure to a level set with the electro proportional
percussion pressure relief valve (20.14). Oil flow to the valve (20.14) in LS-
line is restricted by the orifices (20.12) and (20.13). Thus the oil flows to the
spring chamber of the percussion pressure compensator (20.11) via orifice
(20.12) and from there onwards via orifice (20.13) to the electro
proportional percussion pressure relief valve (20.14).
The percussion LS pressure is typically the dominating pressure in the
system and oil continues to flow via the shuttle valves (20.15), (11) and (13)
to the port X of the flow controller of variable displacement pump (1). The
flow regulator of the percussion/feed variable displacement pump (1) is
actuated by the load pressure and pump tries to maintain the pressure level
set by the electro proportional pressure relief valve (20.14).
The percussion pressure is directed from the working line to the percussion
pressure sensor B1P (16). This pressure information is sent to the control
system and shown on GUI. From connection P2 oil also reaches the
percussion/feed circuit main pressure relief valve (20.25), which limits the
maximum pressure of the percussion circuit to 270 bar.
From connection A of the drilling control valve block (20) oil continues to
flow to the percussion mechanism (24). Return oil flows from the
percussion mechanism (24) via the collecting piece (7) and OW-cooler (5)
or optional OA-cooler (30) to the hydraulic oil receiver (4) port T1.
Cooling and HVAC circuits operate as described in chapter Rotation.
If the machine is equipped with the optional stabilizer, oil also flows, after
entering the connection P2, to the stabilizer valve block (22) and its
pressure reducing/relieving valve (22.2) and on/off valve (22.1) to the
percussion mechanism.

ID: BG00560979 en-US D.002.1 2019-01-03
Power extractor (optional)

If the machine is equipped with an optional power extractor, oil flows after
the percussion 2-way cartridge valve (20.10) through the drilling control
valve block (20) port PE to the power extractor valve block (21) port PE
when the percussion is activated.
Power extractor is switched on by the operator or by the control system.
For example pressing the button B of the rock drill movements joystick
activates the coil Y128 of the power extractor on/off valve (21.1) and
simultaneously the maximum percussion pressure is limited to 150 bar.
From the power extractor valve block (21) port PE the oil flows via the
power extractor on/off valve (21.1) and the power extractor valve block (21)
port P2 to the power extractor mechanism (25).
Return oil flows from the power extractor mechanism (25) via the collecting
piece (7) and OW-cooler (5) or optional OA-cooler (30) to the hydraulic oil
receiver (4) port T1.

The function of the stabilizer control block (22) is to adjust the stabilizer
pressure as a function of effective feed pressure to the specific maximum
limit during drilling. During threading and rattling there is no pressure in the
stabilizer and stabilizer line has been connected to the tank via stabilizer
control block (22). During drilling percussion pressure must always be at
least 20 bar higher than stabilizer pressure.
Operation during full-power drilling

When drilling is started, oil flows from the variable displacement pump of
percussion and feed (1) through the pressure filter (8) to the connection
port P2 of the drilling control valve block (20). From the port P2 oil flows
internally through the drilling control valve block (20) to stabilizer control
block (22). In the stabilizer control block oil reaches the pressure reducing/
relieving valve (22.2), electro-proportional stabilizer pressure relief valve
(22.3) and stabilizer on/off valve (22.1). Oil also reaches the stabilizer
pressure sensor (18), which measures the stabilizer pressure and supplies
the information to the control system. Oil continues to flow to the stabilizer
of the rock drill via valves (22.1) and (22.2). The pressure level of the
stabilizer is set with the reducing/relieving valve (22.2) and its electro-
proportional pilot control valve (22.3).
Simultaneously oil also flows to and from the percussion and feed circuits
as described in chapters Percussion and Feed. Rotation operates as
described in chapter Rotation.
Depending on relation between stabilizer and percussion pressure oil flow
direction can also be reverse. Then oil flows from the stabilizer of the rock
drill through the stabilizer oil line filter (33) and the optional stabilizer flow
sensor (34.1) to the stabilizer control block (22) port P1. From port P1 oil
flows via the stabilizer on/off valve (22.1), pressure reducing/relieving valve
(22.2) and electro-proportional stabilizer pressure relief valve (22.3) to port
T. From the port T oil flows to collecting piece (7). From there oil flows via
the OW-cooler (5) or optional OA-cooler (30) to the hydraulic oil receiver (4)
port T1.
During drilling also feed pressure affects to the stabilizer pressure. Feed
pressure information is available in control system and the electro-
proportional pilot control valve (22.3) is controlled according to this
information in order to set always the correct stabilizer pressure.
Operation during threading and rattling

During threading and rattling the stabilizer on/off valve (22.1) is activated.
Activation of the stabilizer on/off valve connects the stabilizer to the return
line and there is no pressure in the stabilizer. Oil flows from the stabilizer
via the stabilizer valve block (22) and stabilizer on/off valve (22.1) to
collecting piece (7). From the collecting piece oil flows via the OW-cooler
(5) or optional OA-cooler (30) to the hydraulic oil receiver (4) port T1.

4.7 Rotation and feed control by diesel engine

Rock drill feed and rotation can also be controlled when using diesel's
double gear pump. These functions are primarily intended for facilitating the
maintenance of the rock drill.
Feed control with carrier's hydraulics

The hydraulic circuit of feed control with the gear pump of the carrier
hydraulics is almost identical to the hydraulic circuit of the variable
displacement pump (1) of the power pack. The pump is the main difference.
When the carrier's gear pump is used for controlling the feed, oil flows from
carrier's gear pump to percussion/feed circuits via non-return valve (1.1).
Rest of the oil circulation is similar compared to section Feed.
Rotation control with carrier's hydraulics

The hydraulic circuit of rotation control with the gear pump of the carrier
hydraulics is almost identical to the hydraulic circuit of the variable
displacement pump (2) of the power pack. The pump is the main difference.
When the carrier's gear pump is used for controlling the rotation, oil flows
from carrier's gear pump to rotation circuit via non-return valve (2.1). Rest
of oil circulation is similar compared to section Rotation.

5.4 Adjusting rotation speed

Use the rotation speed encoder to adjust the drill rod rotation speed.
Rotation speed can be adjusted only in feed-percussion follow-up and
manual drilling modes. Turn the encoder counterclockwise to decrease the
speed and clockwise to increase the speed. The correct drill rod rotation
speed depends on the hardness of the rock and on the hole diameter.
Sandvik recommends the following rotation speeds for different hole
diameters:
Rotation speed
Rotation speed ± 10 %
Drill bit size ± 10 %
(HLX5/RD520)
(RD525)
Ø32 250 rpm 300 rpm
Ø38 250 rpm 300 rpm

6 TROUBLESHOOTING
6.1 Troubleshooting the drilling system
If the drilling system is not working as it should:
1. Try to find out, if the fault is in hydraulic, electric or control system.
2. From the GUI select → Troubleshooting to check the
troubleshooting views.
• Check the operation of the electrical signaling between control
devices and the drilling system components from the Drilling view.
• Check the control current of the modules from the Modules view.
• Use the troubleshooting views to check the state of the
programmable components.
3. Inspect the machine and the alarms in the control system to check the
following points before making any further measurements:
• External leaks at hoses, connections, adapters and other hydraulic
components
• Mechanical functions (e.g. sliding pieces, rollers and return wheels)
• Supply voltage to the drilling rig / different devices
• External cable damage
• Mounting of electric plugs
• Pressure gauge readings
6.2 Variable displacement pumps do not rotate at all, or their speed is

not normal
1. Check the troubleshooting views from the control system as instructed in
section Troubleshooting the drilling system.
2. Measure the supply voltage to the power pack.
If the voltage is correct, it is likely that the fault is mechanical.
If the electric motor does not receive sufficient control voltage, refer to
electric system troubleshooting.
3. Check if a mechanical damage prevents the pumps from rotating.
4. Repair or replace the damaged component.
Note! Noisy power pack normally predicts a mechanical fault. It is best to

immediately repair (or replace) the component that causes the noise
in order to avoid any greater damage.

The settings of the percussion/feed circuit variable displacement pump (1)
controllers are as follows:
• Flow controller (A) 22-30 bar
• Pressure controller (B) see table below.
Rock drill Pressure

RD525 255 bar
RD520 230 bar
HLX5 230 bar
Check the settings of the percussion/feed circuit variable displacement

pump (1) as follows:
3. Read the stand-by pressure value from the pressure gauge (allow the
pressure to stabilize).
4. Run the zoom cylinder against the rear end stopper and read the
pressure, at the same time, from the pressure gauge.

ID: BG00560979 en-US D.002.1 2019-01-03

6. Remove the pressure gauge from the measuring point (MP2).

ID: BG00560979 en-US D.002.1 2019-01-03
6.3.1 Flow controller value deviates from the set value

1. Connect a pressure gauge to the measuring connector (LS) of the
percussion/feed circuit variable displacement pump (1).
3. If the pressure at the measuring connector (LS) is normal tank pressure
(app. 3-5 bar or less), it is likely that the flow controller (A) of the pump
(1) is incorrectly adjusted or stuck. Follow the instructions:
a) Adjust the stand-by pressure of the pump (1) to the correct value
with the flow controller (A) as instructed in section Adjusting the
b) If adjusting did not help, stop the power pack and repair or replace
the whole controller unit.
c) Adjust the controller according to instructions in section Adjusting
the percussion/feed circuit variable displacement pump (1).
4. If the pressure at the measuring connector (LS) is above the normal tank
pressure, it may be caused by:
• Percussion selector valve (20.9), percussion 2-way cartridge valve
(20.10), feed valve main spool (20.16) or feed line pressure
compensator (20.17) in the drilling control valve block may be stuck
and leaking and gives a control signal to the pump (1).
• One of the proportional directional valves in the boom control valve
may leak and give a control signal to the pump (1).
• Rear jack valve or optional TRS/SCR valve may leak and give a
control signal to the pump (1).
5. Troubleshoot as follows:
a) Start the power pack and check the feed pressure gauge and the
percussion pressure gauge from the main view of the control
system.
b) If these gauges are not showing any pressure reading, it is likely
that some of the proportional directional valves in the boom control
valve or the pressurization valve of the carrier or optional TRS/SCR
are faulty.
The feed pressure gauge may show a pressure reading when
power pack is running unloaded, although the directional valve of
feed is ok.
c) If the feed pressure gauge shows a pressure reading while the
power pack is running unloaded and simultaneously the measuring
connector (LS) indicates pressure level above normal tank
pressure, it is likely that the fault is in feed directional valve block.
d) Stop the power pack and clean the feed valve main spool (20.16).
If cleaning does not help, replace the drilling control valve block
(20).
e) If the percussion pressure gauge shows a pressure reading while
the power pack is running unloaded, it is likely that the percussion
2-way cartridge valve (20.10) or the percussion selector valve
(20.9) is faulty.

ID: BG00560979 en-US D.002.1 2019-01-03
f) Stop the power pack and check both valves. Clean and, if
necessary, replace the faulty valve.
g) Adjust the stand-by pressure of the percussion/feed circuit variable
displacement pump (1) with the flow controller (A) as instructed in
section Adjusting the percussion/feed circuit variable displacement
pump (1).
If these steps did not remedy the situation, stop the power pack and
clean the flow controller (A). If necessary, replace the controller unit and
adjust it according to instructions in section Adjusting the percussion/feed
circuit variable displacement pump (1).

6.3.2 Pressure controller value deviates from the set value

drilling control valve block.
3. Run, for instance, the zoom cylinder against the rear end stopper and at
the same time adjust the pressure controller (B) of the percussion/feed
circuit variable displacement pump (1) to the set pressure value
accordingly the table below.
Rock drill Pressure
RD525 255 bar
RD520 230 bar
HLX5 230 bar
4. If the pressure controller (B) does not react to adjustment, it is either
stuck or faulty.
6. Clean the pressure controller (B). If that does not help, replace the
controller unit and adjust it according to instructions in section Adjusting
the percussion/feed circuit variable displacement pump (1).
7. If the pressure controller (B) operates normally during drilling, but the
maximum pressure value is not reached when the boom is run, it is likely
that the adjustment of the main pressure relief valve on the drilling or
boom control block is faulty or either of the valves is stuck.
a) Check and clean the valves.
b) If necessary, adjust the percussion/feed circuit main pressure relief
valve (20.25) as instructed in section Adjusting the percussion/feed
circuit main pressure relief valve. For instructions to adjust the
boom main pressure relief valve, refer the boom manual.

6.5 Percussion is not working

1. If the percussion pressure gauge on the main view of the control system
shows a reading, but percussion does not work when the percussion is
on, it is likely that the rock drill is faulty. In this case, follow the
instructions:
b) Repair or replace the rock drill (refer to rock drill manuals).
2. If the percussion is on and electric and control systems are operating
properly, but the percussion pressure gauge on the main view does not
show any reading, it is likely that either the percussion selector valve
(20.9) or the percussion 2-way cartridge valve (20.10) is stuck. Follow the
instructions:
b) Clean, check and, if necessary, replace the faulty valve(s).
3. If the percussion is on, boom functions are normal and percussion
pressure gauge on the main view shows a reading, but the pressure is
too low or percussion does not start at all, it is likely that either the electro
proportional percussion pressure relief valve (20.14) or the percussion
pressure compensator (20.11) is stuck or dirty or either of the orifices
(20.12) or (20.13) is dirty or blocked. Follow the instructions:
b) Clean and check the valves (20.14) and (20.11). If necessary,
replace with new ones.
c) Remove the orifice (20.12) from the drilling control valve block.

ID: BG00560979 en-US D.002.1 2019-01-03
e) Also check and, if necessary, clean the orifice hole in the drilling
control valve block.
f) Install the orifice carefully back to the drilling control valve block.
g) Repeat the steps c-f with the orifice (20.13).
6.6 Percussion is on all the time when power pack or diesel engine is
running
If the electric and control systems are operating properly, but still the
percussion is on all the time when the power pack or diesel engine is
running, it is likely that either the percussion selector valve (20.9) or the
percussion 2-way cartridge valve (20.10) is stuck and leaks, allowing the
pressure to the percussion mechanism of the rock drill.
1. Stop the power pack and/or diesel engine.
2. Check, clean and replace, if necessary, the valves (20.9) and (20.10).
Note! It is very important to repair this kind of fault immediately because

too low percussion pressure can cause damage to the seals of the
accumulators in the rock drill.
6.7 Percussion pressure is too high

If the electric and control systems and sensors are operating properly, but
the percussion pressure is too high, it is likely that the electro proportional
percussion pressure relief valve (20.14) is stuck.
2. Check, clean and, if necessary, replace the valve (20.14).
3. If the steps above did not remedy the situation, either of the orifices
(20.12) or (20.13) in the LS-line may be loosened or disconnected.
Follow the instructions:
a) Check that both of the orifices (20.12) and (20.13) are properly in
their place in the drilling control valve block.
b) If either of the orifices are loosened, tighten it carefully.
6.8 Percussion pressure is too low

If the electric and control systems and sensors are operating properly, but
the percussion pressure is too low, either the percussion/feed circuit main
pressure relief valve (20.25) or the electro proportional percussion pressure
relief valve (20.14) may be stuck.
2. Check, clean and, if necessary, replace the percussion/feed circuit main
3. Adjust the valve as instructed in section Adjusting the percussion/feed
circuit main pressure relief valve.
4. If the steps above did not remedy the situation, check, clean and, if
necessary, replace the electro proportional percussion pressure relief
valve (20.14).

ID: BG00560979 en-US D.002.1 2019-01-03
5. Percussion pressure may also be too low, if either of the LS-line orifices
(20.12) or (20.13) is blocked. Follow the instructions to check the orifices:
a) Start the power pack.
b) Turn percussion on and move the boom.
If the boom functions are normal, but the percussion pressure
remains low, either of the orifices (20.12) or (20.13) may be at least
partly blocked.
c) Stop the power pack.
d) Remove the plugs from the ports of the orifices (20.12) and (20.13).
e) Remove the orifices (20.12) and (20.13) carefully.
f) Check, clean and, if necessary, replace the orifices (20.12) and
(20.13).
g) Install the orifices (20.12) and (20.13) and the plugs carefully back
to the drilling control valve block.
6. The percussion pressure drops, if the output of the percussion/feed
circuit variable displacement pump (1) is insufficient. Install flow meters
to the percussion and feed lines to check the output of the pump (1).
The flow rates at the maximum percussion pressure level and at normal
operating temperature are following:
Rock drill Percussion Feed
RD525 125-135 l/min. 4-8 l/min.
RD520 105-115 l/min. 4-8 l/min.
HLX5 100-115 l/min. 4-8 l/min.
7. If the flow rates are higher than those given above, check immediately
the condition of the rock drill and the feed cylinder.
8. Percussion pressure may also drop, if any of the shuttle valves (11), (13)
or (20.15) in the LS-line leaks.
9. Check and, if necessary, replace the shuttle valves.

• Adjusting the percussion/feed circuit main pressure relief valve (Page 45)
6.9 Feed / fast feed speed is not correct

If the feed / fast feed speed is not correct, although the pressures and
electric and control systems are operating properly, it is likely that the feed
valve main spool (20.16) is stuck or the pilot pressure from the feed pilot
control valve (20.20) and/or (20.21) to the feed valve main spool (20.16) is
too low.
1. Connect a pressure gauge to the line X of the drilling control valve block
to check the pilot pressure.
Pilot pressure should be 30-45 bars when the power pack is running
loaded. Pressure might be a bit lower when the power pack is running
unloaded.

ID: BG00560979 en-US D.002.1 2019-01-03
2. If the pressure differs from this value, check, clean and, if necessary,
replace the pilot oil filter (20.26) and the pilot oil pressure reducing and
relief valve (20.27).
3. If the pilot pressure is correct, it is likely that the fault is at the feed valve
main spool (20.16) or at the feed pilot control valves (20.20) and/or
(20.21). Follow the instructions to check the feed pilot control valves:
b) Remove the feed pilot control valves (20.20) and (20.21).
c) Check and, if necessary, replace the valves.
d) Install the valves back to the drilling control valve block carefully.
Note! Tightening torque is 10 Nm.
4. If the above steps did not remedy the situation, fault may be in the feed
valve main spool (20.16). Follow the instructions to check the feed valve
main spool:
a) Remove the pilot control block from the drilling control valve block.
b) Extract the feed valve main spool (20.16).
c) Check the condition and movements of the main spool.
If the feed valve main spool (20.26) is faulty, replace the drilling
control valve block (20).
d) Install the main spool and the pilot control block carefully back to
the drilling control valve block.
If these steps did not remedy the situation, feed cylinder may be damaged
or some other mechanical fault on the feed may prevent the movements.
Check and repair faulty components.
6.10 Feed / fast feed pressure is too low

If the feed / fast feed pressure is too low, although the electric and control
systems are operating properly, it is likely that the electro proportional feed
pressure relief valve (20.22), the feed port A shock/anti-cavitation valve
(20.18) or the feed port B shock/anti-cavitation valve (20.19) leaks.
2. Disconnect the electric connector from the electro proportional feed
pressure relief valve (20.22) and run the feed against the rear end
stopper.
The pressure at measuring connector (LS) should be app. 210 bar.
3. If the pressure differs essentially from that, it is likely that the electro
proportional feed pressure relief valve (20.22) is stuck.
5. Check, clean and, if necessary, replace the electro proportional feed
pressure relief valve (20.22)

ID: BG00560979 en-US D.002.1 2019-01-03
6. Run the feed against the rear end stopper and check the pressure at the
measuring connector (LS). If the pressure is app. 210 bar, follow the
instructions:
b) Connect the electric connector to the electro proportional feed
c) Remove the pressure gauge from the measuring connector (LS) of
the pump (1).
7. If the steps above did not remedy the situation, either the feed port A
shock/anti-cavitation valve (20.18) or the feed port B shock/anti-cavitation
valve (20.19) may be faulty.
8. Check, clean and, if necessary, replace the valves (20.18) and (20.19).
9. If valves (20.18) and (20.19) are replaced, follow the instructions to
adjust the valves:
a) Connect a pressure gauge to the measuring point (M1).
b) Use the pressure controller (B) to adjust the set pressure of the
percussion/feed circuit variable displacement pump (1) to 250 bar.
c) Run the feed against the front end stopper and at the same time
adjust the pressure of the feed port A shock/anti-cavitation valve
(20.18) to 200 bar.
d) Run the feed against the rear end stopper and at the same time
adjust the pressure of the feed port B shock/anti-cavitation valve
(20.19) to 240 bar.
e) Re-adjust the percussion/feed circuit variable displacement pump
(1) as instructed in section Adjusting the percussion/feed circuit

to rock drill manuals).
6.14 Rotation speed adjustment is not working

If the rotation speed adjustment does not work with the desired way or the
rounds of the drilling rod are not constant, although the electric and the
control systems are operating properly, it is likely that the fault is in the rock
drill, in the rotation pilot control valve (20.4), in the rotation pilot control
valve (20.5), in the rotation valve main spool (20.1) or in the rotation line
pressure compensator (20.2).
1. Connect a pressure gauge to the line X of the drilling control valve block.
Pilot pressure should be 30-45 bars when the power pack is running
loaded. Pressure might be a bit lower when the power pack is running
unloaded.
2. If the pressure differs from this value, check, clean and, if necessary,
replace the pilot oil filter (20.26) and the pilot oil pressure reducing and
3. If the pilot pressure is correct, it is likely that the fault is in the rotation
pilot control valves (20.4) and/or (20.5) or in the rotation valve main spool
(20.1). Follow the instructions to check the rotation pilot control valves:
b) Remove the rotation pilot control valves (20.4) and (20.5).

2 MAIN COMPONENTS
2.1 Structure of pump
The piston movements of the pump take the oil from the suction side to the
pressure side. The pump is an axial piston pump where the pistons move in
the direction of the drive axle.
The variable displacement pump used by Sandvik is a swash plate type
pump. The piston ends slide against the swashplate which angle depends
on the LS-signal (pressure).
The ports of the pump are marked as follows :
S = suction port
B = pressure port
L = drain port
X = pilot port

3 PUMP OPERATION
3.1 Function of pump
The flow is proportional to the drive speed and the displacement. By
adjusting the position of the swashplate it is possible to steplessly vary the
flow.

The control unit mounted to the pump controls the angle of the swash plate.
The pump has separate controllers for pressure and flow.
The line B1 of the control unit receives system pressure. Through the
borings in the control unit spindles, the pressure is led to the left end of the
control spindles.
The line A leads to the control piston that control the angle of the swash
plate.
The line T leads into the pump housing, and it is connected to the tank
through the drain line.
3.3 Pressure controller

When the pressure in the line B1 increases, the control unit spindle P
moves to the right, against the spring. When the set maximum pressure is
reached, the connection from B1 to A opens, and oil flows to the control
piston that decreases the angle of the swash plate.
The adjusting screw C is used for adjusting the maximum system pressure.
The pressure must be c. 20 bar lower than the opening pressure of the
main pressure relief valve (= safety valve).
3.4 Flow controller

Flow varies according to the demand of the system. The system pressure
through B1 affects the left end of the spindle F. The pressure from the load
sensing line X affects the right end where the spring is located. The
pressure difference over the system directional valve V forces the
regulator’s spindle F against the spring. If the pressure difference
increases, the connection between the lines B1 and A opens, and the pump
is adjusted for lower flow. If the pressure difference decreases, the
connection between the lines A and T opens, and the flow of the pump
increases.
3.4.1 Load sensing lines
It is possible to adjust several systems (X1, X2, etc.) at the same time by
controlling the LS-pressures of each system.
3.4.2 Stand by pressure
In the situation, when no devices are in operation, the load sensing line X
has no pressure, because it is connected to the tank line through the
directional valve. The system pressure from B1 forces the flow regulator
spindle F to the right against the spring. The connection from B1 to A opens
up, and the pump is adjusted to zero flow and low pressure.
The stand by pressure of the system is adjusted with the screw D. The
desired value will adjust according to the adjusting instructions of the pump
(depends on the system).
