Hydraulic systems
General
Hydraulic systems are sensitive to impurities and pollutants. The environment in
which rock drilling equipment usually works is generally unsuitable as a place for
repairing hydraulic components. Work on the hydraulic system at the worksite should
therefore be limited to what is absolutely essential, i.e. only the replacement of com-
ponents. When changing valves, the unit concerned should be securely strapped in
place and firmly supported. The components should then be repaired in a suitable
environment, see Hydraulic workshops .
Observe the following points to avoid breakdowns and interruptions in operation due
to fouled hydraulic oil:
• Keep the rig clean. Hose it down at regular intervals, preferably with a grease sol-
vent as an additive
• Before opening any connection, clean the area round it.
• Use clean tools and work with clean hands.
• Always plug hydraulic connections immediately after they have been detached.
• Use clean protective plugs.
• Hydraulic components like hoses, valves, motors, etc. must always be stored with
suitable protective plugs fitted in place.
• Spare parts for hydraulic components must always be kept in sealed plastic bags.
• Change filter cartridges as soon as the filters indicate clogging.
24
Maintenance instructions
1. General
Hydraulic workshops
Workshops used for the repair of hydraulic components must:
• be separate from activities which generate dust and particles, such as welding,
grinding, the transportation of vehicles, etc.;
• have their own suitable washing equipment which is required for repairing the
components;
• have the necessary tools, both standard and special, and that are only used in the
hydraulic workshop.
• have a ventilation system that does not admit dust into the premises.
• have well-trained mechanics.
When replacing hydraulic hoses, make sure they are replaced with hydraulic hoses:
All pressurised hydraulic hoses have crimped couplings and should therefore be pur-
chased ready made from Atlas Copco. Qualities and hose dimensions are specified in
the spare parts catalogue for each rig. Make also sure that hose couplings are clean, in
good condition and properly tightened.
Welding
Note
It is important to consult Atlas Copco for approval of welding and choice of elec-
trodes.

Electrode recommendations
Use only intact and clean electrodes that have been stored in a dry place. The gener-
ally recommended type of electrode is ESAB OK 48.00, ESAB OK 48.30 or the
equivalent in accordance with the standard below:
The use of MIG welding equipment is perfectly acceptable. The generally recom-
mended type of electrode is ESAB-OK Autorod 12.51 or the equivalent in accord-
ance with the standard below:
Note
All bolted joints in the table below must be greased with Molycote 1000 or equivalent
thread lubricant with coefficient of friction 0.11 µ.

CAUTION
• Take great care when strapping and lifting
heavy objects.
• Can cause personal injury.
• Lift at the centre of gravity.
• Use only straps that are intact and
intended for the load they are to carry.
• Secure the slings in the lifting eyes,
where available
Before transport in shafts or the like it may be necessary to remove the drilling rig in
larger or smaller parts. Observe the following when dismantling, lifting and refitting:
• Before dismantling, hose the entire rig clean with water and/or detergent contain-
ing a grease solvent.
• Observe the strictest cleanliness when dismantling hydraulic, compressed air and
water flushing hoses. Immediately plug all hoses, nipples and hydraulic oil pipes,
or seal and protect them from dirt in some other suitable way.
• Mark hoses, pipes and other connections, where this has not already been done, to
make reassembly easier and prevent mix-ups.
• Use properly secured lifting tackle of generous dimensions.
Note
When a rig is scrapped, all materials that are harmful to the environment must be
disposed of in a manner prescribed by the authorities.
Fault finding
Fault finding is a logical sequence of activities to locate a fault, thereby making it
possible to rectify the fault as soon as possible.
Always try to investigate the location of the fault in order to limit fault finding to a
certain system or function.

Introduction
This chapter contains recommendation on hydraulic fluids, lubricants, diesel oils and
coolants. The following applies in addition to these recommendations:
If in doubt concerning hydraulic fluids, lubricants, etc., get in touch with your Atlas
Copco representatives.
Hydraulic oil
Hydraulic systems
Use mineral based or synthetic (polyalpha olefine or diester) hydraulic oil with good
rust, wear, oxidising and foam inhibitive properties and good air and water separation
ability. Select an oil with viscosity grade (VG) and viscosity index (VI) specified in
the table below. Oil with high viscosity index is less temperature dependent.
30
Maintenance instructions
2. Lubricants, coolants and propellants
Lubrication oil
Diesel engine
Engine oils have different properties and are classified in different grades. The API
(American Petroleum Institute) or ACEA (Association des Constructeurs Européens
d’Automobiles) classification systems are normally used.
Since engine oils change their viscosity, the ambient temperature is decisive to the
choice of viscosity grade (SAE classification). A temporary drop below the tempera-
ture limit will impede cold starting but not lead to engine damage. Any transgression
for a long period of time should be avoided to prevent wear.
31
Maintenance instructions
2. Lubricants, coolants and propellants
Hydraulic gearbox
Different types of oil can be used in the hydraulic gearbox.
Dexron IID and Dexron IID equivalents must not be mixed with the other oils.
Compressor
Use compressor oil or hydraulic oil. It must be a mineral oil of high quality with addi-
tives to inhibit oxidation, foaming and wear. The viscosity grade must suit the ambi-
ent temperature and fulfil ISO 3448 as follows.
32

Gears
For lubrication of the gear on cable and hose reels use engine oil. The oil must be of
good quality with viscosity SAE 20W-40.

Propellants
Diesel engine
The diesel engine must be driven on commercial diesel fuel with a sulphur content
less than 0.5 %. A higher sulphur content will involve tighter oil change intervals.
• DIN EN 590
• BS 2869: A1 and A2
• ASTM D 975-88: 1-D and 2-D
• NATO Code F-54 and F-75
At low temperatures, paraffin deposits in the diesel can cause blockages resulting in
disturbances in the fuel system. A special winter diesel should therefore be used with
ambient temperatures below 0 °C.
Coolants
An anti-freeze additive will protect against corrosion, cavitation and freezing. Use
anti-freeze that is free from amines, nitrites and phosphates. Anti-freeze concentra-
tion in the coolant must be kept between the following minimum and maximum lim-
its.
The following tables show the freezing point for different mixtures of anti-freeze and
types of engine.

3. Feeder
The hydraulic feeders on the BMH/BMHT-6000 series are principally intended for
drift and tunnel drilling. They are fitted on hydraulic booms of type BUT 32 and
BUT 35. The feeders are available in different versions depending on the rock drill
being fitted on them. The different numbers have the following meaning.
The second number states the type of rock drill for which the feeder is intended:
• 3 = COP 1238
• 6 = COP 1432/1532
• 8 = COP 1838
The third and fourth numbers state the length of drill steel in feet: 16 = 16 feet
The fifth and sixth numbers state the length of the short drill steel in feet and only
applies to the telescopic feeders (BMHT).

The hydraulic boom is of telescopic type with 360° feed rotation. It features three-
point suspension at front and rear. Each three-point suspension unit includes two
hydraulic cylinders which, through series connection in pairs, provide parallel feed
both vertically and horizontally.
A tilt cylinder enables the feeder to be positioned for roof and cross-cut drilling.
The rotary motion is obtained by a hydraulic rotary actuator and transferred via a stub
shaft to the feeder.
Boom BUT 35 G is available in two different basic versions, model M (medium) and
model L (large). Both models are available for left-mounted and right-mounted

Maintenance instructions
7. Brake system
WARNING
• Hazardous hydraulic oil pressure.
• Can cause personal injury.
• There will be accumulated brake pressure
of up to 150 bar in the brake circuit even
after stopping the engine. If the system is
opened without relieving this pressure,
oil will spurt out at high pressure.
DS2
1250 0061 55
3. Disconnect fuse F112 in fuse box (A50) and crank the starter motor. The pressure
gauge will indicate a rapid increase in pressure to the lowest pressure with which
an accumulator is charged.
4. The pressure will subsequently rise very slowly. The accumulators are charged to
60-70 bar.
5. An accumulator with charge pressure lower than 35 bar is faulty and must be
changed.
6. For identifying which accumulator to change, see section Checking the accumula-
tors.

2. Start the engine and let it run until max. brake pressure is attained.
3. Stop the diesel engine and brake repeatedly. The "low brake pressure" lamp should
come on when the pressure has dropped to 110 bar.
4. Start the diesel engine and brake repeatedly with the engine idling. When the pres-
sure has dropped to 125 bar, the brake system control valve should engage so the
pressure rises again to max. for the brake system, 150 bar.
6. Brake hard four times, i.e. depress the pedal fully and release completely each
time. If the brake pressure drops below 90 bar after braking hard four times, there
is a fault in the brake system. This can be caused by:
b. there is no charge pressure in an accumulator or the pressure is too low, e.g. due
to a broken diaphragm, see section Checking accumulator charge pressure.
7. Continue to brake hard until the pressure drops below 80 bar and the parking
brake is applied.
126
Maintenance instructions
7. Brake system
N.B.
Note that the system may still be pressurised even when the brake pressure gauge
(where fitted) indicates zero pressure.
Thorough cleanliness must be observed during all work on the brake system. Clean
all relevant contact points before starting work. Protect hoses and unions with
plugs and caps as they are detached.
2. Depress the brake pedal repeatedly (30-40 times) until the fluid stops flowing
through the brake valve. This can be noticed when the hissing sound heard when
the brake pedal is depressed ceases.
3. Connect a pressure gauge to the pressure test outlet in the accumulator circuit
being checked. All the accumulators must be checked individually. Watch out for
any pressure remaining in the brake system.
1250 0061 54
5. Disconnect fuse F112 in fuse box (A50) and crank the starter motor. The pressure
gauge at pressure test outlet (11) will first show a rapid increase in pressure to the
pressure the accumulator is charged with. This pressure should be at least 35 bar.
If this charge pressure is not attained, the accumulator must be scrapped and
replaced with a sound one. See section Scrapping an accumulator. The system
must then be depressurised before any measures are taken, after which it must be
rechecked.
7. Start the engine and let it run at high speed until full brake pressure is attained.

WARNING
• Pressure vessel
• Can cause personal injury.
• A discarded accumulator must be made
harmless.
• A discarded accumulator that has not
been punctured must be handled as a

8. Drill system
8. Drill system
• Hydraulic systems
• Electrical system
• Water system
• Air and lubrication system
The hydraulic system includes one pump unit per rock drill.
Each pump unit comprises three pumps. A pressure-compensated axial plunger pump
that only supplies percussion. A further pressure-compensated axial plunger pump
that provides oil for feed, positioning, compressor, water pump and for the DCS 1800
also for the rock drill damper.
The electrical system supplies the electric motors for the hydraulic pumps, the lubri-
cating pumps, the lighting and the battery charger, and controls the solenoid valves.
Water is used to flush the cuttings from the borehole and to cool the hydraulic sys-
tem. A hydraulically powered booster pump on the rig increases the pressure to
ensure sufficient amounts of water are supplied to the borehole.
To lubricate certain parts, each rock drill is supplied with lubricant by an electric pis-
ton pump. The oil is distributed in the rock drill using compressed air from a hydrau-
lic screw compressor on the rig. This air also prevents debris from entering the rock
drill.
The drilling systems can be fitted with various options (optional equipment), e.g. a
reaming hole bit, extension drill rod, water flow monitor and air flushing equipment.

General
There is a breather filter (A) on the rig that is used to compensate pressure differences
in the tank that would otherwise arise when the level in the tank changes e.g. if the
jacks are operated out/down.
1250 0021 15
The breather filter must be replaced as set forth in the maintenance schedule and also
if it is severely fouled.
Note
If the breather filter becomes covered in oil it will be ruined. This can happen if the
tank is overfilled. The filter must then be changed.

Oil sampling
An oil sample gives a good indication of how well the hydraulic system has been
maintained.
The system is equipped with nipples that are used together with special equipment to
take oil samples. The nipples are located on the delivery line from the percussion
pump and positioning pump.
The oil sampling nipple has part number 3177 3016 00. The nipple can also be used
as a pressure test outlet for a pressure gauge.
Changing oil
General
If filter changing has been carried out in accordance with the instructions and oil
cooling presents no problems the hydraulic oil need not be changed. On the other
hand, if samples indicate that the oil is oxidised or contains a lot of water, it must be
changed. See maintenance intervals Percussion hours.

2. Screw a hose to the ball valve and place the other end of the hose into an empty oil
drum.
3. Drain the oil from the tank by opening the ball valve.
4. Close the ball valve once the oil has stopped running out of the hose.
5. Unscrew the hose.
Filling up
General
New oil must only be filled with the filler pump fitted on the machine. This is
because the oil must be filtered before reaching the tank. This is achieved automati-
cally if the filler pump is used.
Note
Take into account that the position of the cylinders will affect the level in the tank.
Make sure all the cylinders are retracted.
If the tank is overfilled, the breather filter will be destroyed. In this case, the filter
must be changed. See section Filter: Breather filter.

Note
Valve (E) functions by adapting the speed of the compressor to the air pressure in the
tank. When the air pressure in the tank drops (high air consumption during flushing
for example), the speed increases. This causes flow regulator (A) to function as an
overspeed protector when the compressor is unloaded.

Turning the setting knob clockwise causes the unloading pressure to increase.
Turning it anticlockwise causes the pressure to decrease.
4. Press setting knob (2) down to its lower position in order to adjust the difference
between the unloading and loading pressures.
5. Since the difference between the unloading and loading pressures is to be 2 bar,

Anti-jamming protection
Description
There are two types of anti-jamming protection:
If the drill bit tends to jam in the hole due to e.g. joints in the rock, the rotation pres-
sure will start to increase and the feed pressure will drop successively to around 40
bar. If rotation pressure continues to rise, the feed will change direction and the rock
drill will return. As the rotation pressure subsequently drops, the rock drill will
change direction once more. If the drill bit still tends to jam, this procedure will con-
tinue until the bit has passed through the joint in the rock.
When RPCF is activated, the feed pressure will gradually drop until it almost reaches
zero.
General
To set the anti-jamming protection, you must make the following settings in the
sequence shown here:
173
Maintenance instructions
9. Hydraulic systems
“Setting RPCF during drilling” provides better adaptation to the state of the local
rock than “Setting RPCF in a workshop”. If, on the other hand, it is impossible to
drill, but you still want to set the RPCF valve/valves, you should choose “Setting
RPCF in a workshop”.
Valve (Vaj) must be used to set the rotation pressure at which the rock drill is to
change direction.

1. Check the rotation pressure during normal drilling. Read the rotation pressure
from pressure gauge (Gr). It is located on the operator panel.
2. Connect a pressure gauge to pressure test outlet (G3).
4. Adjust the set screw to 30-40 bar above the normal rotation pressure. Read the
pressure from a pressure gauge connected to pressure test outlet (G3).
Note
If the valve is adjusted too low, the rock drill will change direction too early.
If the valve is adjusted too high, the rock drill will not change direction and the
risk of jamming will increase.
174
Maintenance instructions
9. Hydraulic systems
Normal rotation pressure settings for drilling are 35-50 bar for small holes and 40-50
bar for reaming holes. If the pressure rises above the normal pressure, there is risk
that the drill steel will jam. The RPCF valve must thus be activated if the normal rota-
tion pressure rises by about 20 bar during drilling.
Valve (V1a) affects the rotation pressure at which the feed pressure will start to be
reduced for a small hole drill bit.
Note
If the rig is provided with a special reaming hole kit (option), the following settings
are also to be made for reaming hole valve (V1b).

Compressor GAR 5
The rig compressor is a single-stage, hydraulic screw compressor. The compressor
starts when one of the rig's hydraulic pumps starts.
Compressed air from the compressor goes to an air reservoir that also acts as an oil
separator. In the air reservoir, most of the oil found in the oil and air mixture will be
removed through centrifugal force. The remaining oil is separated in an oil separation
element in the air reservoir. The separated oil collects in the bottom of the air reser-
voir, which acts as an oil tank.

1250 0104 15
Each hydraulic pump motor has an electronic motor protection relay (F01), which is
equivalent to a thermistor relay and a thermoelectric relay.
The motor protection has a green LED (4) that indicates that the power supply is on
and that the output relay is in operating position. If the engine protection is triggered,
the LED goes out.
The motor protection has three LEDs (1, 2 and 3) to indicate which type of fault has
triggered the protection.
LED (1) comes on when the permitted motor temperature is exceeded (overheating).
LED (3) flashes when the permitted engine current is exceeded (overcurrent). If this
continues for a long period of time, the LED will shine constantly and the motor pro-
tection will trigger due to motor overload (thermal overload).
a. LED (1) is on. Check that the electric motor is properly cooled.
b. LED (2) is on. Turn off the main switch for the input cable and pull out the plug
from the wall socket. Then check the cables in the motor circuit and the electric
motor.
204
Maintenance instructions
12. Electrical system, IEC and Australia
c. If LED (3) flashes, this indicates that the motor current exceeds the set rated
current and that the motor protection can soon be triggered.
If the LED starts to shine constantly and the motor protection is triggered,
check that the power supply complies with the rated voltage on the rig's data
plate. If the voltage is correct, check the motor circuit, see item b above.
2. Once the cause of the stoppage has been rectified, reset the motor protection with
button (5).
• If the service factor is 1.15, the motor protection must be set to a value 15% higher
than the rated current.
• If the service factor is 1.3, the motor protection must be set to a value 30% higher
than the rated current.
The rated current and service factor are specified on the motor's data plate.
The motor protection has a basic setting of 20A that must be taken into consideration
when setting. The setting must consequently be 20A lower than the rated current or
20A lower than the rated current x the service factor (1.15 or 1.3).
Adjust settings using the DIP switches on the motor protection. Two examples fol-
low .

Safety measures
Be sure to avoid the accumulation of flammable items in the machine such as leftover
oil and fuel that could intensify the fire or help spread it to places which otherwise do
not in themselves constitute a fire hazard.
Periodic inspection and preventive service at those points where fire can most easily
break out - engine bay, electrical system, turbo, manifolds and brake system.
Regular cleaning of all areas where flammable materials like oil, grease, hydraulic
fluids and other waste can accumulate.
Service
It is essential that the fire fighting system is inspected at least once a year by an
authorised service company. Contact Atlas Copco's sales company in your country

7. Run the feeder down until it is roughly horizontal and read off the angle.
8. Rotate 180 degrees so that the feeder is now standing on the other side of the
boom.
Note
NOTE: Operate only with the rotary actuator.
9. Read off the angle for the inclination of feed again. This angle must not differ by
more than 0.4 degrees from the previous reading.
10. If the difference between the angle readings is more than 0.4 degrees, the tilt sen-
sor on the feed holder must be adjusted. In order to adjust the tilt sensor, the bolts
must be loosened slightly (perhaps only one of them) and the box changed so that
the angle on the screen is in between the two readings (as A in illustration below).

The menu for fault finding of the sensor and resolver module shows the status of the
resolver module contacts that are connected to a sensor. Should one of the contacts
have the status Fault (crossed-out OK), further fault finding can lead to the cause of
the fault. Possible causes are:
Angle sensors
By measuring the winding resistances of the sensor, it is possible to determine
whether the sensor and the cable between resolver module and sensor are in working
order. First, disconnect the cable from the contact on the resolver module. Take read-
ings across the cable pins as follows:

1250 0060 28
If any of the measurements should indicate a value that deviates greatly, the same
measurement should be made on the sensor pins. Detach the cable from the sensor
contact and measure across the pins as above. If the same fault is obtained as when
measuring on the cable, the sensor should be changed. Otherwise, it can be assumed
that the fault is in the cable.
Should fault finding show that both cable and sensor are intact and free from faults,
the fault probably lies in the resolver module.
Inclination sensor
Check that the sensor is supplied with current. Disconnect the cable from the sensor
and take a reading on the cable.

1250 0059 65
• If there is no supply of current, the fault could be in the cable. Take the same read-
ing on the resolver module contact to check that the resolver module is supplying
current.
If current is supplied by the resolver module, the fault is probably in the cable.

20. Safe Bolting System
Introduction
SBS (Safe Bolting System) is a product intended for use on Atlas Copco's Boomer
rigs. The system is used to avoid working under unsecured rock by angling the feeder
up to 180° using the lookout axis and parallel cylinders. Two ranges of use are possi-
ble:
• Boomer M2/L2
• Rocket Boomer M2/L2
• BUT 32
• BUT 35
Rigs can be equipped with DCS or RCS drilling systems with protective roof or cab.
Description
SBS has a function that prevents the operator inadvertently moving the drill bit, drill
steel or bolt towards the operator's station and avoid causing serious personal injury
and damage to property. It comprises a warning lamp, a three-way switch with “dead
man's grip” located on the control panel beside the operator's station, and an induc-
tive sensor mounted on the rotary actuator.
The three-way switch makes the operator take part actively in all boom and feeder
movement when the feeder has a lookout angle greater than 90°.

20. Safe Bolting System

Function
An inductive sensor located on the lookout axis is active when the lookout angle is
less than 90°. When the sensor is inactivated (i.e. when the feeder lookout angle is
greater than 90°), the holding voltage will activate a relay. The relay will in turn cut
the voltage to:
In order to move the boom and feeder as well as operate the rock drill rotation, the
three-way switch must bypass the inductive sensor. This is done by holding the three-
way switch in its middle position. The sensor is activated when the switch is com-
pletely depressed and completely released.
A back-pressure valve which opens at approx. 30 bar is used prevent the stand-by
pressure from escaping into the system.
If the rig is fitted with a telescope feeder, there will be another pilot-controlled non-
return valve. This valve confines the pressure in the feed cylinders so that the oil is
not drained, thereby allowing movement.
Component parts
The following components are included in the Safe Bolting System (for each boom):

Locations
• The inductive sensor is mounted on the knob at the end of the stick axle and the
flag on the end of the stick axle.
• The pilot-controlled non-return valve is mounted between the branching to the
piston rod side of the upper member's feed cylinder and the pressure reduction
valve to the piston side of the lower member's feed cylinder.
The pilot pressure is taken from the piston side of the upper member's feed cylin-
der.

The Rod Adding System (RAS) is a system for handling drill rods for extension drill-
ing. The equipment comprises two arms with gripper claws mounted on the feed
beam, and a hydraulic front drill-steel support.
The RAS arms can be positioned to two positions: parked position and drilling cen-
tre. The gripper claws can assume three positions: closed, guide position and open.
The guide position means that the gripper claws hold the drill rod gently allowing the
rod to rotate.
The drill-steel support can either be open or closed. These positions are adapted to
the diameter of the drill rod (closed position) and the diameter of the rod joint (open
position).

The fresh air filter should be inspected regularly and cleaned as necessary. How often
the filter needs cleaning or changing depends on the prevailing operating conditions.
If the air conditioning efficiency becomes impaired despite cleaning the filter regu-
larly, it is probably time to change the filter.
The recirculation filter cleans purer air than the fresh air filter and therefore will not
need cleaning as often. Regular inspections of the recirculation filters are recom-
mended, however.

• That the expansion valve is in working order
• That the airflow across the evaporator is sufficient
• That the condenser is clean and the airflow is sufficient
Each individual vehicle has so-called critical frequencies where vibration of different
types can generate noise. The speed at which these frequencies arise can differ from
vehicle to vehicle. It is often possible to eliminate such vibration by increasing or
reducing the belt tension. If the belt tension is to high, it will cause excessive wear on
compressor bearings, belts and belt pulleys. You should therefore avoid tensioning
the belts too much.
There is seldom any point in changing the compressor due to noise when the belts
"jump". Adjusting the belt tension or changing to another belt length is better. Chang-
ing the length of the delivery hose to the compressor can also reduce noise.
The difference between the pressure on the suction side and the pressure side also
affects the level of noise. A compressor with low suction makes more noise than a
compressor with high suction. Likewise, a compressor with high high-pressure
makes more noise because it puts more load on bearings, etc.
