WARNING! HIGH PRESSURE HAZARD!
A high pressure gas discharge could cause death or severe injury.
Service of the pressure accumulators is only allowed to persons
specially trained for this. The maintenance instructions for hydraulic
rock drill pressure accumulators must be followed precisely. Ignoring
instructions may cause risk of accidents.
Pressurize the pressure accumulators as instructed when needed.

correctly sized trailing cable, cable connector, relief sock and cable
stopper.
• Adjust the limits of the cable reel after the cable installation according to
instructions in Maintenance Manual.
• Adjust the reeling hydraulics corresponding to the installed cable size.
• If the rig has multi-voltage options, setup the rig's multi-voltage
transformer correctly for the voltage of the main power supply center.
Installation of electrical devices is permitted only for persons with
appropriate training and the qualifications required by the authorities.
2.3 Visual inspection
Take the rig to a horizontally level area. By walking around the rig couple of
times, visually check the condition of the rig. Open the covers if needed.
