1. GENERAL
These instructions describe in brief the main maintenance procedures for HL 710 series
hydraulic rock drills.
Sandvik Service is always ready to help and give advice in all maintenance problems. The
qualified maintenance personnel of your Sandvik dealer and original Sandvik spare parts
ensure reliable operation of your drilling equipment.
2.1. Preparations
New rock drills are delivered with the pressure accumulators not
pressurized and the hose connections plugged.
2.2. Mounting
The rock drill is mounted on the carriage with four pairs of bolts. In order to avoid
damage it is important to follow the tightening order;
Put the drill and carriage mounting faces first slightly together. ( no clearance between drill
and carriage )
1. Retighten bolts A to 300 Nm.
2. Retighten bolts B and C to 300 Nm.
3. Tighten bolts A to 600 Nm.
4. Tighten bolts B and C to 600 Nm.
When replacing bolts, loosen all bolts and retighten in correct order.
2.3.
Test run the rock drill and make sure that it operates properly before starting production
drilling.
Check during test run
-- shank lubrication
-- pressures and temperatures
-- flushing
-- possible oil leakages
Avoid use of full percussion power if the steel is not against the rock.
This will reduce the breakage of the accumulator diagrams, the wear of
flushing housing and the cavitation of the percussion mechanism. This
type of idling drilling is the most critical while drilling upwards or
cleaning the holes with pumping motion.
3. HOSE CONNECTIONS
4. LUBRICATION SYSTEM
The rock drill percussion mechanism and the rotation motor are lubricated by the hydraulic
oil flowing through them.
he rotation mechanism and the shank have oil mist lubrication. The lubrication line from
the central oiler is connected to the spacer of the rock drill (Fig. 2, connection 1). From
there the oil mist is ducted to the front end of the rock drill where the flow will lubricate the
stabilizer pins, rotation mechanism, coupling and the bushing of the flushing housing.
In the UG-- version (fig. 3) the continue lubrication airflow is conducted out via the canal
(3), to the drain hole.
In the SF--version (fig. 4) the excess oil is conducted out via the canal (2), to the drain hole.
The oil that has circulated through the rock drill lubrication system is removed through the
shank lubrication collector (5) fig. 2. The used oil can be led with a hose into a container.
1. The shank lubrication oil consumption should be adjusted to min. 400 grams an
hour per drill or more depending on the hole diameter and other local
conditions. Check the function of the shank lubrication by looking at the sight
glass of the oiler and check with hand that the oil is coming to the shank lubrication
nipple.
2. --If the oil level in the oiler does not lower during drilling, the reason may be that
:
-- the regulating valve (7) is blocked up.
-- the compressors oil separation does not function . The compressor oil
flows with air in to the oiler.
-- the oil is too thick for the temperature.
-- In each of the above--mentioned cases the fault should be remedied
without delay.
3. Drain regularly the water that has collected in the oiler. The draining interval
depends on the local conditions.
4. Only the oils mentioned in the oil recommendation are allowed.
5. Refill the oiler regularly.
6. If compressed air is taken from the mines air supply network or the drill rigs
compressor does not have a water separator, the compressed--air line should be
fitted with such a separator.
5. FLUSHING
1. Flushing housing
2. Water pressure gauge
3. Pilot--controlled flushing valve.
4. Drain holes for seal leakages for underground version.
5. Drain holes for seal leakages for surface version.
The structure of the air-- and water flushed rock drills are, except for the flushing housings,
identical.
The most common reason for seal damages is water. The water can get into the rock drill
from outside the flushing housing, if the rock drill is in a vertical position, and the flushing
is off.
The water can also get in with the flushing air, if the water hasnt been drained regularely.
The water in the front end of the rock drill can cause cavitation corrosion in parts of the
body and the piston located near the piston seal and the wiper ring.
You can also detach the flushing housing without having to remove the rock drill from the
carriage by opening the bolts (1) and the nuts. The coupling and the shank will also detach,
as well as the rotation bushing and the chuck opening the lock bolt (2). Always check
these items when replacing the shank.
Use the shank when removing the lock washers (1). Remove the cover (3) and the
connector flange (2) before removing the seal housing.

Assemble the seals (1, 2 and 3) either according to A (water flushing and water mist
flushing), or B (air flushing).
Replace the flushing house seals and assemble the bearing bushing (1) correctly,
accordingly to fig 10.
Place the connector flanges holes of the flushing housing and the seal housing in line and
press the flushing housing in. Assemble the connector flange and the front cover. Check
the seals.
Tube flushing housing
Assemble the shank and the lock washers into the flushing housing. Turn the shank in a
vertical position, and hit the lock washers in with the help of the shank.

6.4. Coupling
Pull the coupling out from the rotation bushing. Check and re-
place, if the edges of the inner teeth are worn sharp.
6.6. Chuck
The chuck inside the rotation bushing must be replaced if the sur-
face has worn down 1 mm (see picture), it has cracks or if the
shoulder has worn down to the surface. Use a hydraulic press
and a appropriate punch for the job.
When installing a new shank, take care that no dirt enters inside the rock
drill with the shank. Insert the shank carefully through the flushing
device, so that the flushing device seals are not damaged.
2. Pre--tighten all four bolts to 100 Nm (10 kpm). Correct tightening order is 1--2--3--4.
3. Final tightening torque is 200 Nm (20 kpm). Same tightening order (1--2--3--4)
should be used.
2. Install the washers and the bolts. Pre--tighten the bolts to 100 Nm (10 kpm). Final
tightening torque is 200 Nm (20 kpm).

Detach the flushing housing (1) and the gear housing before assembling
the motor.
2. Pre--tighten all four bolts to 100 Nm (10 kpm). Correct tightening order is 1--2--3--4.
3. Final tightening torque is 150 Nm (15 kpm). Same tightening order (1--2--3--4)
should be used.
8. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
8.1. General
The idea of periodic maintenance is that the rock drill is serviced before any breakdown
occurs. This way expensive additional damages and unwanted stops can be avoided.
The maintenance intervals are different depending on the local conditions, and they must
therefore be determined according to the experience.
Searching for the correct maintenance interval, it is advisable to start the periodic
maintenance as specified, and then lengthen the intervals until a period that suits the local
conditions has been found.
In addition the rock drill should always be taken in for service when the operator reports
of a fault that can result in major damage or a production stop.

1. GENERAL
These instructions are intended for persons who have to service and repair the
710--series hydraulic rock drills. Familiarize yourself thoroughly with these instructions
and utilize the information contained therein when dismantling, assembling and servicing
the drill.
Always use a crane when tilting the rock frill in the assembly stand.
2. REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
Follow the instructions of the periodic maintenance chart. Properly arranged advance
maintenance helps to achieve maximum machine availability. Change worn parts for new
ones in time to avoid more serious damage.
Check the cleanness of the parts carefully before the assembly; new parts, too, may be
dirty (a bottle brush is a useful aid for the cleaning of the drills cylinder parts).
The use of pirate components (components other than original spare parts) has been
found to increase costs in nearly all cases. The warranty of the entire system will terminate
immediately if any one of the parts is found to have been replaced with a pirate
component.
Checking of the tie rods tightness is one of the most important maintenance measures
to be done to the drill. Neglect of this measure can lead to rapid wear of the face surfaces
between the body parts. Good functioning of the drill depends very much on the place
where it is repaired. Keep the repair place clean.
Repair place furnishing example:
Its forbidden to use the drill bit grinder in the repair place.
3. TOOLS
Sandvik supplies ready tool set for drill repair work. See the tool sets spare part sheet.
Figures 2, 3 and 4 show the tools needed in repairs, the tools being grouped according
to the work phases.
Fig 4. Tools for the disassembly, assembly and testing of the pressure accumulator
4. SEALS
Seals are some of the most delicate and important parts of the rock drill. When the rock
drill is dismantled, all the seals and O--rings has to be changed.
Seals removing:
Lubricate the seal groove with oil. Bend the seal as shown in pic-
ture 9.
Preservation of seals:
-- Keep the seals in their package, away from direct sunlight.
Fig 10. Spacer and seal housing Installing directions and centralizing of piston seals
Centralizing the piston seals ; Lightly push and rotate oiled piston through the seals in the
direction indicated by the arrows in the picture. The seals will settle in the correct
position
Check that the seals sealing lips are undamaged.
Install the O--rings of the front and rear cylinders in their grooves.
If the seals do not last a normal changing interval, the reason is usually one of the
following:
-- The filter is plugged or of wrong type (not original)
-- Wrong oil quality
-- Seals have been fitted wrong
-- Seals have been damaged on assembly
-- Water in oil
-- The condition of the sliding surfaces is poor
5. DISASSEMBLY
Rock drill HL 710 has to be disassembled and the components to be checked after every
500 drilling hours.
Disassembly and assembly of the rock drill requires from the performer professional skill
and practical knowledge of these machines. The working room should be dry, dustless
and clean.
There should also be a wash--basin and compressed air available for the cleaning of the
drill components.
Before the disassembly the drill should be washed on the outside for example with a
high--pressure water spray. In addition to this we recommend that the drill is washed on
the outside also with a brush and suitable solvent before it is taken to the actual servicing
place. A split barrel suits this purpose well.
Fit and secure the locking latch (1) with bolts (3). Mount the drill to the
assembly stand with front and rear bolts (2).

1. GENERAL
As in all hydraulic machinery so also in hydraulic drill rigs cleanness is the most important
consideration if trouble--free operation is to be ensured. We therefore recommend that all
maintenance work of the accumulators is done in a clean and dustless room.
The condition of pressure accumulator should be checked always when the accumulator
is dismantled and when the rock drill is overhauled. The rock drill special tool set includes
all the tools needed in maintenance and checking the accumulators.
Experiences have shown that the first (originally fitted) accumulator diaphragm does not
reach the normal service life, particularly if the time interval between the pressurization
and taking into use is long. For this reason the accumulators supplied as spares are
unpressurized. There is a note of this on the accumulator.
The accumulator bottom and cover should always be kept as a pair. Sandvik supplies
covers and bottoms only as a pair; other parts such as diaphragms and filling valves can
be obtained separately.
Before removing the accumulator from the rock drill, discharge the
accumulator pressure by opening the filling valve.
WARNING
WARNING
While using the gauge, the pressure relief hole must always be pointed
to the opposite direction from any persons close by to avoid personal
injures in case the sudden pressure discharge.

1. Fasten the assembly stand (1) in the vice, and place the accumulator in the stand
with the bottom upwards.
2. The same number appears both on the accumulators cover as well as on the
bottom. The cover and the bottom must remain paired.
3. Make sure that the filling valve is open!
4. Open the accumulator bottom with the opener (2).

1. Fit a new or inspected diaphragm in the cover. Make sure that the diaphragm is
in the groove and fitted the right way down.
2. Lubricate the surface (a) with vaseline or lanolin.
Check that the number on the cover and the bottom is the same.
WARNING
D The high pressure accumulator is marked with uneven numbers and the low
pressure accumulator with even numbers.
HP LP
Check the wear limit marks of the threads always after tightening (150 Nm) of the bottom.
If the mark (I) in the bottom remains after the tightening between the dot S) and the mark
(R) in the cover, the thread is in order.
If the mark (I) in the bottom goes beyond the mark (R), are the threads of the accumulator
cover and bottom too much worn. Replace the accumulator and discard the old one.
A worn-- out or damaged pressure accumulator must be discarded
immediately.

7. FILLING
The only allowable filling gas is nitrogen (N2).

1. DESCRIPTION
The power extractor is a module for a hydraulic rock drill. It is needed when the drill string
is jammed so tight that it can not be removed by using the feed, rotation and percussion.
The power extractor is operated by a switch on the operators control panel. This switch
activates the add--on control valve allowing for oil to flow to the PE and rock drill with
reduced percussion pressure. It can be used with air (PE) and water/water--air mist (SPE)
flushing (underground).

2. GENERAL
These instructions will describe shortly the most important maintenance tasks of Power
Extractor. The service facilities should fulfil the same criteria as the service facilities for
rock drill.
The drawings used on this instruction are from HL 1560T PE and are similar with other
PE and SPE. The item numbers will follow the ones used on spare parts pages.
The Power Extractor should be disassembled and its components checked during regular
maintenance every 500 operating hours.
Check the Power Extractor drain holes daily during drilling. If air, oil mist, water, or oil is
coming out of the drain holes, some of the shank seals have been damaged. Change the
damaged seals immediately.
Check the condition of the shank bearing when changing the shank. Change the bearing
and the shank seals, when the bearing wear limit is exceeded. Under difficult conditions,
for example during underground drilling, check the bearing once a week even if the shank
is not changed.
Sandvik Mining and Construction Corp. is always ready to help and give advice in all
maintenance problems. The qualified Sandvik maintenance personnel of your Sandvik
dealer and original Sandvik spare parts ensure reliable operation of your drilling
equipment.
3. OPERATION PRINCIPLE
During the normal drilling, Power Extractor has tank pressure. The shank bushing is in
front position so that the shank will not touch it. By pressurizing the Power Extractor the
shank bushing will push the shank towards the rock drill piston and piston is able to strike
the shank.
4. USE
Power Extractor is needed when the drill string is jammed so tight that it can not be
removed by using the feed, rotation and percussion. With Power Extractor about 30--40%
of the percussion power will move into the drill string to make the loosening easier. Power
Extractor is operated by the switch in the cabin. The most important step to loose the drill
string is to get the rods turning.
Loosening the drill string: Switch off the antijamming automatics. Switch on the Power
Extractor, rotation to thread tightening direction, reverse feed and percussion; do not keep
the Power Extractor on longer than 10 sec. Changing the feed direction will help and get
the rods loose faster. Switch off the Power Extractor pressure when feeding forwards. The
recommended maximum time to use the Power Extractor is 5 min! The longer time will
heat up the oils and wear out the rock drill and the drill string.

If the shank lubrication line is blocked (no air is coming out from the
shank lubrication return line), open the locking screw carefully and let
the air pressure escape out before opening the Power Extractor
WARNING mounting bolts. By failing to do this the air pressure inside the Power
Extractor might accidentally force the Power Extractor out and cause
serious injuries.
