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.
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.

Incorrect lifting could cause death or severe injury.
The hazard zone must be empty of people during lifting. Never move
a load above people.
Weights
RD314, D45 120 kg
RD314, D38 125 kg
Note! Do not operate the rock drill while the lifting eye is attached. Remove
the lifting eye and reinstall the plug-bolt before operating.
• 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.
WARNING
NOISE HAZARD!
Continuous exposure to noise above 80 dB (A) could cause hearing
impairment.
Wear approved hearing protectors.
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.
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.

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.

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
HIGH PRESSURE HAZARD!
A high pressure gas discharge could cause death or severe injury.
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
drill. Do not pressurize a pressure accumulator if it is not installed to
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.
WARNING
HIGH PRESSURE HAZARD!
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.
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.

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.
WARNING
HIGH PRESSURE HAZARD!
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.
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.
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.
WARNING
HIGH PRESSURE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD!
A breakage of a worn-out or damaged pressure accumulator could
cause death or severe injury.
A worn-out or damaged pressure accumulator must be discarded
immediately.

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.
WARNING
HIGH PRESSURE HAZARD!
A high pressure gas discharge could cause death or severe injury.
Before pressurizing the pressure accumulator, install it to the rock
drill. Do not pressurize a pressure accumulator if it is not installed to
a rock drill.
WARNING
HIGH PRESSURE HAZARD!
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
cause death or severe injury.
Use only nitrogen (N2) to fill a pressure accumulator.
