2 SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS

2.1 Safety precautions
DANGER
ENTANGLEMENT HAZARD!
Getting entangled in rotating parts will cause death or severe injury.
Carry out maintenance and repair work only when the rig is not
running. Make sure that the rig cannot be started unintentionally
during maintenance work.
Operating, service and adjustment procedures must be carried out

only by personnel with specialized operation and service training.
Read and ensure that you understand the operating, maintenance,
and safety instructions before using or servicing the component.
2.2 Lifting instructions
A B
The maximum load capacity of the lifting eye is marked on the eye
circumference (A) or the frame (B).

repair instructions
CORRECT INCORRECT
Fasten the lifting eye bolt to the tapped hole. Screw the lifting eye bolt to
the object to be lifted, use washer if necessary.
If there is no thread in the lift hole, use nut to fasten the lifting eye. Use
suitable washers.
45° 45°
90° 90°
180°
NOTE! Refer to the manufacturer's load tables for maximum load of the
lifting device in various positions.

repair instructions
2.3 Storage
To ensure trouble-free operation, it is recommended to reseal the rock drill
completely if it has been stored for more than 12 months. The rubber seals,
O-rings, and accumulator diaphragms change in physical properties during
storage. The changed properties can cause shortened service life or
leakages.
1. Clean the rock drill properly.
2. Release pressure from all the accumulators by opening the filling
valves.
Detailed instructions are in the manual Pressure accumulator for
hydraulic rock drill, maintenance instructions.
3. Lubricate the rock drill by spraying storage oil or hydraulic oil on all non-
painted external parts of the rock drill as well as through the shank
lubrication inlet port.
4. Plug the front end, with e.g. a plastic cap, or keep the shank in place.
5. Ensure that the rotation motor and percussion assemblies are filled with
clean hydraulic oil. The oil must be free from any impurities or water.
6. Plug all hose connections with caps.
7. Store the rock drill in a dry and clean area.
2.4 Disposal
This section gives useful advice to identify which parts of the product are
recoverable, with a view to recycling or reusing the materials or
components for new applications. To ensure environmentally sound
treatment of a product and all of its components, the recovery issues are
already taken into account during the design phase of the product. Correct
handling of waste materials reduces costs and promotes the best use of the
components and materials.
• Metal parts: All the steel constructions and other metals of the body,
bearings, bushings, and rotation mechanisms are recyclable. The
metals can be melted and used as raw material for new products,
except for parts that have been in contact with substances that are
regarded as hazardous waste. The contaminated parts can usually be
simply cleaned or rinsed, after which they can be recycled.
• Plastic: Most plastic parts are recyclable, similarly to the metals. Each
plastic part carries information on the material used and a
manufacturing date, which can be used for determining whether the part
can be recycled.
• Rubber parts: Rubber parts must be cleaned before they are disposed
of.

repair instructions
• Sensor waste: Electrical and electronic components contain valuable

and recyclable materials, and in addition a set of chemicals and heavy
metals. Electrical components that are classified as hazardous waste
(batteries, circuit boards) and other hazardous waste must be delivered
to a licensed waste treatment location or be disposed of according to
local regulations. Never dump hazardous electrical or electronic waste.
• Oils and fluids: Oil waste must not be disposed of by burning, and
under no circumstances must oil be poured down the drain or into water
systems. Waste oil shall be collected in appropriate containers. The
best containers for collecting oil waste are the original containers for the
oils. The original containers already have the necessary warning labels,
are easy to close, and can be moved around fairly easily. Always strike
out the product name on the label and clearly label the container "oil
waste". Empty oil containers must not be dumped in landfills without
having been cleaned. Cleaned plastic containers can be disposed of as
regular waste. Most countries have arranged a recycling system for
metal barrels. Greases, fuels, solvents, and other substances must not
be mixed with oil waste.

4.2 Taking a new rock drill to use

4.2.1 Preparations
RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE!

NOTICE The new rock drill is supplied with unpressurized accumulators and
plugged hose connections.
• Pressurize the accumulators and connect the hoses before taking the
rock drill into use.
• Follow the instructions when pressurizing the accumulators. See
manual “Pressure accumulator for hydraulic rock drill; Maintenance
instructions”.
The filling pressures are:
- High-pressure accumulator = 40 bar.
- Low-pressure accumulator = 4 bar.
• With a new rock drill, a hydraulic check and system flushing must be
performed before the rock drill is installed.
4.3 Test run
WARNING
NOISE HAZARD!
Continuous exposure to noise above 80 dB (A) could cause hearing
impairment.
Wear approved hearing protectors.
RISK OF DAMAGING THE ROCK DRILL!

Avoid using full percussion pressure when the drill bit is not in
contact with the rock, as this can strain the accumulator membranes
NOTICE and cause cavitation in the percussion mechanism. Such "idle
drilling" is especially likely when drilling upward and when cleaning
holes by pumping.

NOTICE It is forbidden to test run the rock drill onto the assembly stand!
The shank must be removed before the test run.
When the maintenance is complete, the rock drill should be tested in the
service facility using hydraulic power pack before attaching it onto the drill
rig.
The purpose of the test run is to check the operation of the percussion and
rotation mechanisms of the rock drill, and to detect any possible leaks.

repair instructions
When testing the rotation mechanism, the percussion mechanism hoses

must be connected to the rock drill in order to enable the operation of the
internal lubrication of the rotation motor.
During the test run, observe the following:
• the operation of the shank lubrication
• the flushing operation
• the pressures and the temperature
• possible oil leaks.
Note! The shank lubrication and flushing operation can be tested only on a
drill rig or on a test bench that has a separate cushion unit.
Sandvik recommends that the rock drill is tested on the light test bench.
The manual explaining the test procedure is supplied with the light test
bench.
To get more information about light test bench, please contact to:
sfdrills.partssupport@sandvik.com or ugdrills.partssupport@sandvik.com.
4.3.1 Warming the hydraulic oil before the test run
1. Using a double nipple (A), connect the hoses of the power pack (B) to
make a loop so that the lines of both pumps form their own closed
circuits.
2. Turn on the power pack.
3. Pull the levers of the percussion and rotation control valves into
operating position.
Oil starts flowing through the systems in free circulation.
4. Allow the power pack to run for about 3 minutes, after which it is ready
for the test run.

repair instructions
1. Connect the rock drill according to the hydraulic flowchart.

2. Make sure that
a) there is enough oil in the tank
b) the control valve (4) and (5) levers are in neutral position.
3. Start the powerpack.
4. Start percussion with the control valve (4).
Adjust the percussion pressure to 80 ... 100 bar.
5. Start rotation with the control valve (5).
Change the direction of rotation by moving the lever to the other
extreme position.
6. Continue the test run for about 5 minutes, and observe possible leaks.
4.4 Lubrication circulation

4.4.1 Percussion mechanism and rotation motor
The percussion mechanism and the rotation motor of the rock drill are
lubricated by the hydraulic oil flowing through them.
4.4.2 Shank lubrication circulation

Proper shank lubrication is necessary to avoid serious damage to the
NOTICE rock drill. Inadequate lubrication causes the rotation bushing and
shank to overheat leading to rapid wear of these components.
Overheating of the shank also causes shank breakage.

NOTICE In no event is oil mist to be conveyed into the hydraulic system
return line.
The rotation mechanism and shank are lubricated via oil mist lubrication.
The lubrication hose from the shank lubrication device is attached to the
middle portion of the rock drill (SL). From there, the oil mist passes to the
front end of the rock drill, where it lubricates the rotation mechanism, chuck,
coupling, and flushing housing bearing.
Oil mist that has travelled through the rock drill's lubrication circulation
system is removed from the rock drill through the flushing housing fitting
(SR). This used lubrication oil can be conveyed to a receptacle with a hose.

5 ROCK DRILL MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

5.1 Scheduled maintenance
The idea of scheduled maintenance is to take the rock drill 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 scheduled
maintenance table should be consulted first and then the maintenance
interval should be adjusted until a suitable maintenance interval for local
conditions is determined.
In addition to this, the rock drill should undergo maintenance whenever the
operator reports a malfunction that could lead to a failure or production
downtime.
5.2 Tools needed for on-site maintenance

• Check gauge for low-pressure accumulator
• Check gauge for high-pressure accumulator
• Torque wrench
• Socket extension
• Hexagon head socket, 10 mm
• Socket, 16 mm
• Socket, 17 mm
• Socket, 24 mm
• Socket, 30 mm
• Bracket for pressure accumulators
• Filling device for pressure accumulators
• Opener for pressure accumulators
• Copper hammer
• Lifting lug, M16x24
• Ring spanner, 19 mm
• Hook set for seals
• Punch for disassembling the D38 flushing housing

repair instructions
5.3 Daily maintenance

5.3.1 Hydraulic rock drill RD314
Checking the percussion hour reading
1. Check the percussion hour reading.
According to the reading, it is easier to schedule the next maintenance
date.
Checking the possible leaks
1. Check the rock drill for leaks.

Determine the cause for the leak and repair the leak source to avoid
further damage.
Checking the condition of the hoses and connectors
1. Visually check the condition of the hoses and connectors of the rock
drill.
2. Check that the connectors are not loose.
3. Check that the hoses do not chafe on anything.
4. Any faulty hoses or connectors must be changed before operating the
machine.
If necessary, contact local Sandvik service.
Checking the flushing housing seals
Check the seals whenever the shank is changed.

repair instructions
Drain hole and SR-line, D45 Drain holes, D38
1. Start the flushing.

2. Check the condition of the flushing housing seals.
The flushing housing seals must be replaced when the flushing water
escapes through the drain hole(s).
3. Stop the flushing.
In the D45 flushing housing, the front seal leakage can only be detected by
checking the shank lubrication return (SR) line. If there is water among the
shank lubrication oil in the return line, the front seal is leaking and must be
replaced immediately.
Installing the flushing housing seals
When installing the new seals, make sure they are installed in the right
direction.

5.4 Rock drill maintenance

5.4.1 Before replacing the bushings and bearings
The best method for installing the bushings and bearings is to take
advantage of temperature differences. The force needed in installation is
smaller when using cooled bushings and warm parts.
Before starting the maintenance work, put the new bushings in a freezer.
After removing the bushings and/or bearings, wash the other parts with hot
water, do not heat the parts.
Note! Do not install seals to cold parts, they may become brittle and break.
Let the parts warm up before installing the new seals.

5. Check that the locking nut (3) is tightened to 15 Nm.

6. Install the rubber protection cap (1) or the metal cap (2).
Checking the accumulator pressure

A pressure accumulator that is empty, or filled with too high
pressure, causes cavitation, which will damage the rock drill.
NOTICE Check the accumulator pressure regularly. Change or repair the
accumulator immediately if there is no pressure.
Vibrating percussion pressure hoses are a symptom of empty high-
pressure accumulator(s).
Check the accumulator pressure every 50 hours or earlier, if necessary.

Pressure loss may be a result of a damaged filling valve or a broken
diaphragm. Replace the filling valve and the diaphragm to ensure flawless
operation of the accumulator.
1. Check the accumulator pressure.
Detailed instructions are in the manual Pressure accumulator for
hydraulic rock drill.
Checking the tightness of the bolts
Checking the tightness of the bolts is an important maintenance procedure
for a rock drill.
Check the bolts during regular maintenance.
Note! Only use a calibrated, high-quality torque wrench.
1. Check the tightness of the bolts.
When checking the tightness of the bolts, use the correct tightening
sequence and a tightening torque 10% greater than what is specified. A
bolt is too loose if it can turn. In this case, other appropriate bolts must
be loosened and re-tightened according to the tightening instructions.
The bolts cannot be tightened to the correct tension if the threads are not
clean. If necessary, clean and check the threads and lubricate them with
grease.

Rock drill overhaul

The rock drill should be disassembled and its components checked
regularly.
The recommended maintenance interval for the rock drill overhaul is 500
percussion hours, but the interval varies according to local conditions and
must therefore be determined on the basis of experience. It is better to
perform preventive maintenance than repair the machine after the damage
has already happened.
Write down the percussion hours and/or number of meters drilled per shift
during each maintenance interval. Fill in the rock drill maintenance card.
Overhaul instructions and maintenance tasks are defined in the rock drill
technical manual, chapter Rock drill overhaul.
After rock drill service
After the maintenance is complete, the reinstalled components, especially
when surfaces are worn, settle into their proper places for a while, causing
the side bolts and mounting bolts to loosen.
Following maintenance, re-tighten all the rock drill bolts after drilling
about 100–200 meters.
5.5 Service follow-up

When a rock drill is brought in for maintenance, the previous service cards
must be available. The card is filled in with as much information about the
maintenance as possible.
The service card indicates the replacement rate of parts in each rock drill,
and the effect of different conditions and procedures can be seen by
comparing the various cards.
• The card must be available for preventive maintenance.
• A properly completed card contains the entire maintenance history of a
rock drill.
• The card simplifies the decision to scrap an old machine.

5.6 RD314 rock drill overhaul

5.6.1 Repair facilities

Any dust and debris getting inside the rock drill will cause premature
NOTICE wearing of the rock drill components.
The drill bit grinding device, or any other device creating dust or
debris, should not be housed at the rock drill repair facility.
Faultless operation of a rock drill stems largely from appropriate use of the
repair facilities. Make sure that the repair site is clean.
Characteristics of suitable repair facilities:
• well lit
• appropriate washing facilities
• compressed air available
• free of dust
• has all required documentation
• has the required tools.

5.6.2 Rock drill overhaul instructions

The following instructions are intended for persons servicing and repairing
Sandvik hydraulic rock drills. Disassembling and assembling the rock drill
requires expertise and familiarity with the rock drill.

repair instructions
WARNING
High pressure could cause death or severe injury.
Release the accumulator pressure before performing maintenance
work on the rock drill.
Before pressurizing a pressure accumulator, install it to the rock
drill. Do not pressurize a pressure accumulator if it is not installed to
a rock drill.
WARNING
CRUSHING HAZARD!
Tilting assembly/service stand could cause severe injury.
Always use a hoist when tilting the rock drill in the assembly/service
stand.
Follow the instructions in the regular maintenance table. With regular

preventive maintenance, optimal utilization is achieved. Replace any worn
part promptly to avoid more serious damage.
Before performing installation, carefully check that the parts are clean since
even new parts can be dirty (a bottle brush is useful for cleaning the
components of the rock drill cylinder). The use of unauthorized, i.e. non-
OEM, spare parts has been found to cause increased costs in almost all
cases. The warranty for the entire system becomes void immediately if any
part is replaced with a non-OEM part.
Checking the tightness of the side bolts is one of the most important
maintenance procedures for a rock drill. Neglecting this procedure can
cause rapid wear of the rock drill frame's end faces.
Check the wear of the parts. See wear limits for section Wear limits and
wear parts.
After the rock drill overhaul, perform a test run to the rock drill before
mounting it to the drill rig.
Disassembly of the rock drill
Before disassembly, the rock drill must be washed externally with, for
example, high-pressure water. In addition, we recommend that the rock drill
is washed externally with a brush and appropriate solvent before it is
brought to the final repair location.
Removing the seals

Scratches on the seal grooves will cause leaks and premature
NOTICE wearing of the seals and O-rings.
Do not scratch the seal grooves when replacing seals and O-rings.

repair instructions
The seals are the most sensitive and important components of a rock drill.
When disassembling a rock drill, always replace all seals and O-rings.
Be careful not to scratch the seal grooves and components inside the rock
drill.

ring (1) first.
Do not roll the O-ring into the groove.
3. Bend the seal with your fingers as shown in the figure so that the bend
indicated with an arrow is as smooth as possible.
Use only your fingers; not your fingernails.
In particular, the seal lip (A) is easily damaged by, for example, careless
handling during installation of seals.
4. Install the seal in place by pressing it with fingers lightly and equally on
both sides so that the seal settles in the correct position.
Do not use any tool to press the seal.
5. Calibrate the seals. Use plenty of oil on the seal and gently push the
part to be installed over the seal.

repair instructions
Storage of the seals

Most rubber parts change in physical properties during storage and can
become unserviceable due to hardening, softening, cracking, or other
surface degradation.
Follow these rules to keep the seals in good condition:
• Keep the storage temperature between +0º C and +25º C. If the
temperature goes below +0º C, the seal temperature should be
increased slowly to room temperature, before assembling. Direct
contacts to heaters, ovens, radiators, and direct sunlight should be
avoided.
• The relative humidity should be below 70%. Condensation of water
should not occur. Seals should not be stored when they are moist.
• Store parts in individual UV-resistant bags. Direct sunlight or artificial
light with ultraviolet content can be disastrous.
• Keep ventilation low, if the seals are not stored in air tight bags.
• Do not store seals near the apparatus that generates a lot of ozone
(e.g. powerful fluorescent lamp, devices with high tension current, big
electric motors, or devices which can cause electric sparking).
• Store the seals without the tension (e.g. do not keep the seal fitted in a
subassembly like a valve or a cylinder).
• Never wash the rubber seals with solvent. Only use water and soap to
wash, if needed. Do not store seals in contact with dissolvents.
• Do not keep seals in storage for more than five years, even when
storing them in good conditions (as described above). After five years
properties of the seals will be lost gradually, but not totally.

Operating, service and adjustment procedures must be carried out
only by personnel with specialized operation and service training.
Read and ensure that you understand the operating, maintenance,
and safety instructions before using or servicing the component.


3 ACCUMULATOR MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

3.1 Pressure accumulators
WARNING
RISK OF EXPLOSION!
A pressure accumulator repaired in a faulty manner can explode and
could cause death or severe injury.
Repairing a pressure accumulator by welding or in any other faulty
manner is strictly prohibited. Replace a faulty pressure accumulator
with a new one.
WARNING
Before removing the pressure accumulator from the rock drill,
release the pressure by opening the filling valve.
Before pressurizing the pressure accumulator, install it to the rock
a rock drill.
When a pressure gauge is used, the discharge opening must be
directed to an unrestricted space to prevent a risk to those in the
immediate vicinity as a result of the pressure discharge.
In all hydraulic systems, cleanliness is the single most important factor in

ensuring trouble-free operation. For this reason, the pressure accumulators
must be filled and serviced in a clean and dust-free environment.
The condition of a pressure accumulator must be checked whenever the
accumulator is being disassembled and the rock drill is being serviced. The
rock drill's special toolkit contains all the tools required for servicing and
checking the pressure accumulators.
Experience has shown that the first (originally fitted) pressure accumulator
diaphragm will not achieve the normal service life, especially if the time
between pressurization and commissioning is long. This is why the
pressure accumulators supplied as spare parts are unpressurized and this
is also indicated on the accumulator.
Tho bottom and cover of a pressure accumulator must remain as a pair. All
accumulator covers and bottoms supplied by Sandvik are paired. Other
parts, such as diaphragms and filling valves, are supplied separately.

3.2 Pressure gauges
WARNING
Flying shrapnels could cause severe injury.
Use only gauges meant for gas pressure measurement when
checking or pressurizing accumulators. The glass of a liquid damped
gauge may break under pressure and fly off at high speed.
A gauge meant for gas pressure measurement
An over-pressure breaking point of a gas pressure gauge
If the pressure inside the gas pressure gauge rises too high (for the result
of a broken tube inside the gauge), the gauge's back side (A) breaks open
and relieves the pressure.
The gauge must be replaced if the gauge's back side is broken.

3.3 Checking the charge gas pressure of a pressure accumulator

The charge gas pressure of a pressure accumulator must be checked
every 50 hours or earlier if necessary.
The check is performed by using a pressure gauge included in the rock
drill's special toolkit. The pressure gauge's range is from 0 to 100 bar for
the high-pressure accumulators, and from 0 to 10 bar for the low-pressure
accumulators.

1. Remove the rubber protection cap (1)(optional) or the metal cap (2).
2. Screw the pressure gauge to the filling valve (4).
3. Open the locking nut (3).
4. Wait until the gauge pointer stops moving and then check the reading.
If the reading is low, refer to Filling instruction (Page 20) on how refill
the accumulator.
5. Close the locking nut (3).
By using a torque wrench, tighten the locking nut to 15 Nm.
6. Disconnect the gauge from the filling valve (4).
7. Install the rubber protection cap (1)(optional) or the metal cap (2) back
to its place.
Some accumulator types have two similar channels leading into the
pressure chamber. The channel ports have either a filling valve (4) or a plug
(5) installed. The positions of the filling valve (4) and the plug (5) are
interchangeable.
The correct tightening torque for the filling valves (4) and plugs (5) is 40
Nm.

3.4 Removing the pressure accumulators
WARNING
High pressure gas discharge could cause death or severe injury.
Make sure that the accumulator pressure has been released before
removing the accumulator from the rock drill.
Before removing the pressure accumulators from the rock drill, release the
accumulators’ pressure by opening the filling valves. No one is allowed in
front of the valve when it is being opened.
1. Open the filling valves.

2. Remove the accumulator mounting bolts.
3. Detach the accumulators.
4. Remove the O-rings.
5. Remove the gasket plates.
6. Insert protective plugs into the rock drill openings.

3.5 Disassembling the pressure accumulator
DANGER
RISK OF EXPLOSION!
An exploding pressure accumulator will cause death or severe injury.
Never heat an accumulator to temperatures over 100°C.
WARNING
HIGH PRESSURE AND FLYING MATERIAL HAZARD!
Disassembling a pressurized accumulator will cause high pressure
gas discharge and flying material, which could cause death or
severe injury.
Do not disassemble a pressurized accumulator.
If an accumulator can not be depressurized, it must be disposed of
properly.
Do not try to depressurize an accumulator using false methods, e.g.
drilling a hole through the diaphragm.
WARNING
HIGH PRESSURE AND FLYING MATERIAL HAZARD!
Using false working methods may cause high pressure gas
discharge and flying material, which could cause death or severe
injury.
Do not use any other methods, than described in this manual, to
depressurize or disassemble an accumulator.
Do not drill a hole through the diaphragm or any other part of an
accumulator.

1. Fasten the bracket (1) to a vice.

2. Place the accumulator on the bracket, with the bottom pointing upward.
Make sure that the filling valve is not pointing towards you or any other
person.
3. Ensure that the filling valve is open!
4. When disassembling a stem-type accumulator, ensure that there is no
pressure inside of the accumulator by pressing the stem. The stem
should move inward freely.
If the stem does not move, do not open the accumulator.

5. Open the accumulator bottom with the special tool (2).
The cover and bottom of a pressure accumulator are marked with the
same number, and they must be retained as a pair.
3.6 Checking the pressure accumulator
WARNING
HIGH PRESSURE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD!
The breakage of a worn-out or damaged pressure accumulator could
cause death or severe injury.
Damaged pressure accumulators must be scrapped.
If the threads of the pressure accumulator are corroded, it must be
scrapped.
1. Carefully clean and check the threading.

2. Visually check the inside and outside of the accumulator for wear,
damage, and corrosion.
3. If necessary, use fluid penetrant testing to check the accumulator for
damage.

3.7 Assembling the accumulator
WARNING
HIGH PRESSURE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD!
A breakage of a worn-out or damaged pressure accumulator could
A worn-out or damaged pressure accumulator must be discarded
immediately.
1 2

1. Check the number on the cover and the bottom.

Note! The number on the cover and the bottom must be same.
The high pressure accumulators are marked with uneven numbers and
the low pressure accumulators with even numbers.
2. Fit a new or inspected diaphragm to the cover.
Make sure that the diaphragm is in the groove and fitted so that the
correct side is downwards.
When the pressure accumulator diaphragm is changed, the O-rings
should also be changed.
3. Lubricate the surface of the diaphragm (a) and the bottom surface of the
accumulator (b) with vaseline or lanolin.
4. Lubricate the thread of the bottom with vaseline or lanolin.
5. By using a torque wrench and the special tool, tighten the bottom to
150 Nm.
Note that for the small 0.1 dm³ accumulators, the correct tightening
torque is 100 Nm.
6. Replace the filling valve. The correct tightening torque is 40 Nm.

Always check the wear limit marks of the thread after tightening the bottom.
if the mark (I) on the bottom remains between the dot (•) and the mark (R)
on the cover, the thread is in order.
If the mark (I) on the bottom goes beyond the mark (R), the threads of the
accumulator cover and bottom are too worn. Replace the accumulator and
discard the old one.
If the accumulator can not hold the charge gas after changing the
diaphragm and filling valve, check the threading, bottom, and body of the
accumulator carefully with, for example, a fluid penetrant test.

3.8 Filling the accumulators
WARNING
Before pressurizing the pressure accumulator, install it to the rock
a rock drill.
WARNING
Breakage of the accumulator when filling a damaged or worn
accumulator could cause death or severe injury.
Do not fill an unchecked or too worn accumulator.
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD!
An accumulator filled with wrong type of gas could explode and
Use only nitrogen (N2) to fill a pressure accumulator.

out until the gauge shows 2 - 4 bar.
16. Tighten the locking nut (3) to 15 Nm.
17. Refit the cap (4).

3.8.2 Filling pressures of accumulators

Low pressure accumulator (LP)

Overfilling a low pressure accumulator significantly increases the
NOTICE risk of cavitation.
Make sure that the accumulators are filled to the specified pressures.
A low pressure accumulator damps the hydraulic vibrations in the return

line. It also prevents cavitation in the return lines and channels.
To get the optimum performance from a low pressure accumulator, the gas
pressure of the accumulator should be half of the return line pressure.
Normally a low pressure accumulator is pressurized to 2 - 4 bars.

High pressure accumulator (HP)

The main function of high pressure accumulator is to store pressurized oil
during the return stroke of the piston. This stored pressure can be utilized
during the next piston stroke.
Another vital function is to dampen vibrations.
HP-accumulator's gas pressure must be relative to the set maximum
percussion pressure according to the following graph.
