2 SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS

2.1 Safety
WARNING
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD!
High-pressure hydraulic fluid can penetrate the skin, causing serious
injury.
Never try to locate a leak on a hydraulic hose with your hand! Use a
piece of cardboard or equivalent. If hydraulic fluid penetrates your
skin, seek medical advice immediately!
BURN HAZARD!
The oil circulating in the hydraulic systems is hot. It can cause
severe burns to the skin.
Let the oil cool down before starting any maintenance work.
ENVIRONMENT POLLUTION HAZARD!

Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the environment and
ecology.
Dispose of waste oil properly in accordance with local environmental
regulations. Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or
into any water source. Use leakproof containers when draining
fluids.
GENERAL WARNING!
This is a safety-alert symbol. When you see this symbol on your
machine or in this manual, be alert to the potential for personal
injury.
Carefully read all safety messages in this manual and on your
machine safety signs. Follow recommended precautions and safe
operating practices.
Dirt is the primary cause of faults in all hydraulic systems. In the

maintenance of the hydraulic equipment, top priority should be given
to CLEANLINESS!
NOTICE Observe absolute cleanliness when disassembling or assembling
hydraulic equipment. Blow all parts clean with pressurized air and
wipe them with clean, non-fluffy cloth before assembling.
Service and adjustment procedures must be carried out only by

personnel with specialized operation and service training. Read and
ensure that you understand the control panel adjusting instructions
before making any adjustments on it.

4 THC 561 DRILLING HYDRAULICS OPERATION

4.1 Hydraulic system
4.1.1 Filtering of hydraulic fluid
The system uses pressure and return filtering. Pressure filtering is used in
the pump (1) circuit only, but return flow filtering is common to both pumps
(1 and 50).
Hose-mounted filter (112) with filtering capacity of 20 µm abs. is used for
pressure filtering. If the pressure difference over the filter rises over 2.5 bar,
the indicator light H611 on the indicator light panel goes on, indicating that
the filter element should be replaced. The filtering unit body is also
equipped with by-pass valve that opens if the pressure difference exceeds
3.5 bar.
The return flow of both pumps passes through the return filter (113). The
return filter is mounted on the tank. The filtering capacity of the return filter
element is 10 µm abs. If the pressure difference over the filter rises higher
than 2 bar, the indicator light H607 on the indicator light panel goes on,
indicating that the filtering element should be replaced. The filtering unit
body is also equipped with by-pass valve that opens if the pressure
difference exceeds 2.4 bar.
The manufacturer’s recommendation for the purity class of the system is
20/15/12 according to the ISO 4406 (c) -standard.
Note! If the oil is cold (below +30 °C), both pressure and return oil filter
monitoring are bypassed to avoid unnecessary alarms caused by the
high viscosity of cold oil.
4.1.2 Air filtering of hydraulic oil tank

The hydraulic oil tank is also equipped with an air filter. Its filtering capacity
is 5 µm. This filter has no monitoring indicators but, to ensure the cleanness
of hydraulic oil, it should be replaced according to the service instructions.
4.1.3 Cooling of hydraulic system
The oil returning from the various actuators (except leakage oil) is gathered
together in common return line using a collector tube (115). From the
collector tube (115) the return oil is led through the cooler (315) and the
return oil filter (113) into the hydraulic oil tank (110).
The oil cooler (315) is always in operation when water flushing is on. The
cooling capacity of the cooler can be increased by opening the ball valve
(315.01) at the cooler.
The hydraulic system is also equipped with monitoring system for the
hydraulic oil temperature. The oil temperature in the tank is measured by
sensor (111). This temperature sensor stops the powerpack if the
temperature rises higher than +75 °C. At the same time, the signal light
H610 in the warning light panel goes on.

ID: BG00333700 en-US C.001.1 2014-11-17
4.2 Operation of the system

4.2.1 Oil temperature of drilling
After cold start, hydraulic oil should be warmed up to drilling temperature
before drilling is started. This can be accomplished, for instance, by using
an electric oil heater in the tank.
The recommended oil temperature of the drilling is between 40-60 °C
(depending on the type of the oil).

Operation of the free circulation
Free circulation means a situation where the powerpack is running, but no

hydraulic actuators are used.
Rotation circuit
The rotation pump (50) sucks the oil from the tank (110) and pumps it into
the rotation circuit. The oil flow produced by the rotation pump (50) flows
through the regulating valve (55) of the rotation control block, the oil
collector (115), the cooler (315) and the return oil filter (113) into the tank
(110).
Percussion and feed circuits

The variable displacement pump (1) takes oil in from the tank (110),
through the intake connection (S), and pumps it into the percussion and
feed circuits. As there is no consumption of oil in these circuits during free
circulation, it means that there is no pressure in the load sensing line,
either. The swash plate of the pump (1) is at 0 angle and the pump (1) is
merely maintaining a certain pressure (stand-by pressure) in the pressure
line. The stand-by pressure is regulated by the flow controller of the pump
(1).
The pressure regulator / relief valve (43) regulates the pilot line pressure.
Pilot circuit
The variable displacement pump (1) takes oil in through the intake
connection of the tank (110) and pumps it into the pilot circuit via the pilot
pressure regulating valve (43) which regulates the pilot line pressure. After
the pilot pressure regulating valve (43) oil flows to the pilot control valves
(14, 31, 33, 58 and 102) via the drilling module movement prevention valve
(221). Oil flows also to the return automatics selector valve (39) and the air
blowing on/off valve (209).

Operation of the rotation

When the control lever of the rotation pilot control valve (58) is locked into a
back position (rotation to counterclockwise), pilot pressure will be able to
affect the port a of the rotation directional valve (53) and to the port P1 of
the rotation speed regulating valve (59).
The oil produced by the rotation pump (50) flows now to the port P of the
rotation control block. From there the oil flows through the rotation
directional valve (53), pressure compensator (52), non-return valve (57),
again through the rotation directional valve (53) to the rock drill rotation
motor (54). The oil flows also from the port P to the regulating valve (55)
and the rotation pressure gauge (51).
Through the pressure compensator (52) the oil flows into the LS-line of the
rotation directional valve (53). The oil flows also to the LS-pressure relief
valve (65), to the flow regulator (56) and to the regulating valve (55). In this
situation the regulating valve (55) is activated and it tries to keep the
pressure in the main pressure line P always 15 bar higher than LS-line
pressure (= load pressure) resulting a constant pressure difference over the
rotation directional valve (53). This means also constant rotation oil flow to
the rotation motor set by the regulating valve (59). LS-pressure also
reaches the SLU on/off pressure switch (205) through one-way restriction
valve (204) and rock drill's shank lubrication starts.
The pressure difference between P-line and LS-line is made by the spring
of the regulating valve (55). The function of the flow regulator (56) is to
unload the LS-line after stopping the movement and centering the main
spool. The flow regulator (56) is a small pressure compensated flow control
valve with a flow approximately 1 l/min.
The extra oil flow which is not needed in the rotation circuit is taken into the
tank through the regulating valve (55).
The return flow from the rotation motor (54) passes through the rotation
directional valve (53), the collecting piece (115), the cooler (315), and the
return oil filter (113) and ends up into the pressurized chamber of oil tank
(110).
The leak oil from the rotation pilot control valve (58) and rotation speed
regulating valve (59) will be first directed to the collecting piece (135) and
from there into unpressurized chamber of oil tank (110)
Oil flows also from the connection M of the rotation control block through
the shuttle valve (139) to the connection P of the control block of return
automatics. From there oil flows through the pressure reducing and reliefing
valve (127) and the check valve (124) to the pressure switch (123), to the
pressure relief valve (119) and to the front impulse cylinder (129), through
the check valve (126) to the pressure switch (125), to the pressure relief
valve (118) and to the rear impulse cylinder (130). Oil flows also through
the orifices (121) and (120) to the oil collector (135). From there oil flows
into unpressurized chamber of oil tank (110).

ID: BG00333700 en-US C.001.1 2014-11-17
When using rock drill with stabilizer oil flows also from the connection
(P2) of the drilling control block to the connection (P) of the stabilizer
control block. From there oil flows to the pressure reducing valve (145) and
the pressure reducing/reliefing valve (141). From here the oil continues to
flow to the directional control valve (140) and the stabilizer of the rock drill.
Oil also affects to the monitoring valve (142), the directional control valve
(144), the pressure switches (137) and (138) and the pressure gauge (146).

Operation of the feed

Feed pressure is determined by the valves (20 + 216) or the valve (25)
depending on which one has a lower set value. The valve (216) can be
adjusted from the THC-panel (approx. ±20 bar). Adjusting affects only to
feed pressure regardless of percussion pressure. The valve (20) can also
be adjusted from the THC-panel and it affects also to feed pressure but at
the same time also to percussion pressure.
When the control lever of the feed pilot control valve (31) is locked into a
back position (feed forward), pilot control pressure will be able to affect to
control line c of the feed directional valve (23) through the anti-jamming
valve (34) and the shuttle valve (36). In addition, the pilot pressure affects
to the feed LS line selector valve (29) through the shuttle valves (35) and
(224), and to the percussion pressure selector valve (5) through the shuttle
valve (16). The pilot pressure affects also to the directional valve (44) via
shuttle valves (35) and (224).
The oil produced by the variable displacement pump (1) flows through the
non-return valve (116), the pressure filter (112) and the orifice (225) to the
anti-jamming valve of flushing control (206) and the port P1 of control block
of drilling . From here the oil continues to flow through the feed line
pressure compensator (22) to the control spool of feed directional valve
(23) and from there to the feed line A max. pressure relief valve (25) and
through the connector A to the feed cylinder (28).
From feed directional valve (23) oil flows also to the spring housing of the
feed line pressure compensator (22) and through the shuttle valve (26) and
the feed LS line selector valve (29) to the feed pressure regulating valve
(20) and feed deviation valve (216). After the shuttle valve (26) the oil is
able also to flow to the feed pressure gauge (21), the monitoring valve (18)
and through the shuttle valves (42), (10) and (208) to the flow control valve
of variable displacement pump (1).
From connector P1 of control block of drilling the oil is able to flow to the
pilot pressure regulating valve (43), the drilling module movement
prevention valve (221) and from there to the rotation pilot control valve (58),
the percussion pilot control valve (14), the feed pilot control valve (31), the
selector valve for separate flushing (102), the fast feed pilot control valve
(33) the return automatics selector valve (39) and the hole blowing
automatics on/off valve (209).
Oil from the feed cylinder (28) flows to the connection B of feed directional
valve (23) and from there to feed line B max. pressure relief valve (24).
From here oil flows through the tank connector T3 of control block of drilling
to the collecting piece (115), via the oil cooler (315) to the return oil filter
(113) and the oil tank (110).
The leak oil from the feed pilot control valve (31) is first directed to the
collecting piece (135) and from there to the hydraulic oil tank (110).

Operation of the percussion

When the percussion pilot control valve (14) is locked into the back
position, pilot control pressure affects the fast feed forwards selector valve
(223) and also the water control valve (100) through the shuttle valve (103),
and turns water flushing on.
Pilot control pressure also activates the pressure switch (12) of the
operating hour meter and SLU on/off (rock drill's shank lubrication starts),
and affects the percussion selector valve (4) through the shuttle valve (15).
The percussion selector valve (4) opens the percussion main valve (3), and
the output of the variable displacement pump flows through the non-return
valve (116), the pressure filter (112), the compensator (2), and the
percussion main valve (3) to the percussion mechanism (13). In addition,
the percussion circuit pressure reaches the pressure relief valve (6) for half-
power percussion, passing through the orifice (9) and the percussion
pressure selector valve (5). After the orifice (9), the pressure also affects
the pressure compensator (2), the percussion max. pressure relief valve
(7), the rattling on/off valve (8), the monitoring valve (18), and reaches the
load-sensing line of the variable displacement pump (1) through the the
shuttle valves (10) and (208). The pressure also affects to the main
pressure relief valve (211) and the pressure reducing/reliefing valve of the
boom circuit (210).
The pressure after the percussion main valve (3) also affects the
percussion pressure gauge (11).
The pressure after the pressure filter (12) also affects the anti-jamming
valve of flushing (206) via the orifice (225).
The return flow from the rock drill (13) passes via the collecting piece (115),
the cooler (315), and the return oil filter (113) to the hydraulic oil tank (110).
Leak oil from the percussion pilot control valve (14) is directed first to the

Operation of the collaring

Collaring is composition of rotation, feed and percussion.
With the THC 561 system, collaring can be done accurately and smoothly
by using the stepless feed and rotation speed, and feed pressure
adjustments. In collaring, feed and percussion are connected in parallel.
The control lever of feed pilot control valve (31) is used for selecting
collaring and full-power drilling. The lever offers two operating ranges: half-
power and full-power drilling. On the lever movement, these two ranges are
separated from one another by a noticeable step. Full-power drilling starts
when this step is passed.
Drilling is started by locking the levers of the pilot control valves for rotation
(58) and percussion (14) into the back position.When the lever for the feed
pilot control valve (31) is pulled backwards, the rock drill moves at the
desired speed until the drill bit has sufficiently penetrated the rock. Full-
power drilling is started by locking the control lever of the feed pilot control
valve (31) into the back position.
Another method for collaring is to turn the feed pressure regulating valve
(20) fully open (counterclockwise) and then lock all three control levers
(rotation, percussion and feed) into the back position. Drilling starts now
with half power, and continues so until the drilling values are returned to
correspond to full-power drilling by turning the feed pressure regulating
valve (20).
The directional control valve (144) is active during collaring, so the
stabilizer pressure does not follow the feed pressure (stabilizer pressure is
minimum).

Operation of the drilling

After successful collaring, full-power drilling is started by locking the control
lever of the feed pilot control valve (31) into the back position. The
percussion pressure selector valve (5) changes its position and closes a
connection through the percussion half-power pressure relief valve (6). In
percussion LS-circuit oil flows furthermore through the rattling on/off valve
(8) and the monitoring valve (18). Feed pressure and feed deviation
pressure are directed to monitoring valve (18), which then controls
percussion pressure as a function of these pressures.
The pressure difference between feed and percussion is determined by
feed deviation valve (216) and the monitoring valve (18).
The min. pressure of percussion is determined by spring force of the
monitoring valve (18).
The max. pressure of percussion is determined by the percussion max.
pressure relief valve (7).
Feed-percussion monitoring
Basic principle of feed-percussion monitoring is that the percussion
pressure is adjusted as a function of feed pressure.
With the help of the feed deviation it is also possible to:
• compensate frictions of the feed beam
• compensate the mass of the drilling equipment in uphole and downhole
drilling
• compensate the feed force suitable for different feed models
• change the feed force suitable for different rock drill models
• react to feed-percussion monitoring ratio in different rock conditions

Percussion pressure behaviour as a function of feed pressure
Feed pressure varies during drilling depending on the rock conditions (soft/
hard rock, fragmented rock, cavity). During drilling feed max. pressure is
restricted with the feed force regulating knob (20). Feed pressure rises for
that value at the maximum. Percussion pressure follows actual feed
pressure with a certain ratio (determined by the monitoring valve).
Operator determines the starting moment of the feed-percussion monitoring
with the feed deviation knob (216). By increasing the feed deviation i.e.
turning the knob clockwise feed force increases without changes in
percussion pressure. By decreasing the feed deviation i.e. turning the knob
counterclockwise feed force decreases without changes in percussion
pressure.

Operation of the stabilizer

Stabilizer control block function is to adjust the stabilizer pressure as a
function of feed pressure to the specific max. limit during drilling. During
half-power drilling and collaring stabilizer pressure remains in the minimum.
During rattling there is no pressure in the stabilizer and stabilizer line has
been connected to the tank.
During drilling percussion pressure must be at least 20 bar higher than
stabilizer pressure.
Operation during full-power drilling

When drilling is started oil flows from the variable displacement pump (1)
through the non-return valve (116) and the pressure filter (112) to the port
P1 of the percussion and feed control block. From here the oil continues to
flow to the connection P of the stabilizer control block via the port P2 of the
percussion and feed control block. From there oil flows to the pressure
reducing valve (145) and the pressure reducing/reliefing valve (141).
Pressure reducing/reliefing valve (141) adjusts the stabilizer pressure and
also limits maximum stabilizer pressure. From here the oil continues to flow
to the directional control valve (140), to the pressure switches (137) and
(138), to the stabilizer pressure gauge (146) and the stabilizer of the rock
drill. Oil flows also to orifice (143) which supplies oil to pilot circuit.
Depending on relation between stabilizer and percussion pressure, oil flow
direction can also be reverse. Oil then flows from the stabilizer of the rock
drill to the directional control valve (140) to the pressure reducing/relieving
valve (141) and continues to the oil collector (115), the oil cooler (315) and
the return oil filter (113) into the hydraulic tank (110).
Feed pressure affects to the monitoring valve (142) via the directional
control valve (144). The monitoring valve (142) adjusts pilot pressure and
according to that pressure reducing/reliefing valve (141) adjusts stabilizer
pressure.
Pressure reducing valve (145) sets a constant pressure, so called
reference pressure, to the monitoring valve (142). When the feed pressure
is lower than adjustment of pressure reducing valve (145) (e.g. 50 bar),
monitoring valve (142) does not control the pressure reducing/reliefing
valve (141) and stabilizer pressure stays at minimum level. This feature can
be used for example to compensate the mass of the drilling equipment and
the frictions of the feed beam.
Operation during half-power drilling and collaring

During half-power drilling and collaring the directional control valve (144) is
activated via port X8. Feed pressure is not affecting to the monitoring valve
(142) and stabilizer pressure stays at minimum level.
Minimum stabilizer pressure is set with spring force of monitoring valve
(142).

ID: BG00333700 en-US C.001.1 2014-11-17
Operation during rattling

During rattling the directional control valve (140) is activated via port X7.
There is no pressure in the stabilizer and the oil flows from the stabilizer via
the oil collector (115), the oil cooler (315) and the return oil filter (113) into
the hydraulic oil tank (110).

Operation of the power extractor

When using the power extractor, rattling must be switched on by pushing
the percussion pilot control valve (14) in the front position. When the power
extractor is switched on by pushing the button (S90) on the control panel,
power extractor pressure selecting valve (212) and power extractor on/off
valve (215) are activated. Oil flows to the power extractor mechanism (214)
through the percussion line pressure comepensator (2), percussion main
valve (3) and power extractor on/off valve (215). Oil flows also through the
orifice (9) and power extractor pressure selecting valve (212) to the power
extractor pressure relief valve (213). This valve (213) determines the power
extractor pressure level. Oil flows also to percussion mechanism (13).
When using the power extractor, pressure level for the percussion and the
power extractor is the same.
The return oil from the power extractor mechanism flows through the
collecting piece (115) and cooler (315) to the tank (110).

Operation of the drilling module movement prevention

The drilling module movement prevention valves (221) and (222) are
activated always when the diesel engine or powerpack is on. At this
situation oil flows through these valves (221) and (222) to the pilot control
valves and the boom valves.
When the drilling module movement is prevented, valves (221) and (222)
change position preventing the oil flow to the pilot control and boom valves.
Oil from the pilot control and boom valves then flows to the tank (110)
through the drilling module movement prevention valves (221) and (222),
and the collecting piece (135).

Operation of the anti-jamming automatics

The anti-jamming system operates in a situation where the rotation
pressure of the drill rod rises above a set value due to, for instance, a
fissure in the rock. In this situation, the operation of the hydraulic system
differs from normal as follows:
When rotation pressure rises above the value set with the anti-jamming
valve (34), the valve (34) changes its position. The pilot control pressure
now reaches the port d of the feed directional valve (23) through the shuttle
valves (37) and (38). This means that the feed directional valve (23) also
changes its position, and feed pressure enters the feed line B, and feed
starts pulling backwards. Feed pressure also reaches the load-sensing line
of the variable displacement pump (1) through the LS channel of the feed
directional valve (23) and the shuttle valves (26), (42), and (10). After the
shuttle valve (26), the pressure in the feed LS line also reaches the
pressure gauge (21). As feed backwards is on, the reversing pressure
affects the tank line T1 of the feed deviation control block. In this situation,
the feed pressure regulating valve (20) does not determine the max.
reversing pressure but it is determined by the max. pressure regulating
valve (24) of the feed line B of the feed directional valve (23).
During the reversing phase, the rock drill (13) operates with full-power
percussion. The percussion pressure is restricted by the percussion max.
Feed reversing stays on until rotation pressure drops below the value set
with the anti-jamming valve (34). After this, the anti-jamming valve (34)
changes its position and the control pressure from the pilot control valve
(31) reaches the control line c of the feed directional valve (23) through the
shuttle valve (36). The feed directional valve (23) changes its position and
feed pressure reaches the feed line A, whereby feed starts forwards. Feed
and percussion pressures are lower than normal, which is caused by the
lower feed resistance and the feed/percussion monitoring. Monitoring valve
(18) doesn’t allow the percussion pressure go under the setting value. The
feed and percussion pressures return to their normal set values as the feed
resistance rises normal.
The return flow from the rock drill rotation motor (54) passes through the
rotation directional valve (53), the collecting piece (115), the cooler (315),
and the return oil filter (113), and ends up into the hydraulic oil tank (110).

Operation of the flushing flow control

Flushing flow control is an optional function. When this function is required,
the rig will be supplied with a water or air flow switch in the flushing circuit.
Each boom has its own separate water or air flow switch.
When the water or air flow in the flushing circuit drops below the set value
of the flow switch (for example, due to lack of water or blocked drill bit), the
anti-jamming valve of flushing control (206) is activated. Now oil flows
through the anti-jamming valve of flushing control (206) and shuttle valve
(207) and gives a pilot control pressure to an anti-jamming valve (34) which
changes its position. The feed pilot control pressure now reaches the port d
of the feed directional valve (23) through the shuttle valves (37) and (38).
This means that the feed directional valve (23) also changes its position,
and feed pressure enters the feed line B, and feed starts pulling backwards
until the water or air flow is normal.
Oil flows also to the LS-line of the variable displacement pump (1).

Operation of the air-mist flushing

When drilling with water flushing, pilot pressure reaches the water control
valve (100) via the air-mist flushing selector valve (218) when percussion or
separate flushing is switched on.
When drilling with air-mist flushing, air-mist flushing must be switched on
with the switch (S75) on the THC-panel.
When air-mist flushing is activated, the air-mist flushing selector valve (218)
is activated, whereby the pilot pressure can't reach the water control valve
(100). In this situation the pressure switch (217) reacts and recognizes that
air-mist flushing has to be started. The pressure switch (217) controls (via
the relays) the electrically controlled air-mist valve which lets the small
amount of water to mix into air. At the same time the pressure switch (217)
also activates the coil Y454 of the air blowing automatics on/off valve (209),
whereby the control pressure flows to the air control valve (101) and air line
opens.
When the percussion is on, the percussion selector valve (4) also opens
the percussion main valve (3), and the output of the variable displacement
pump flows through the non-return valve (116), the pressure filter (112), the
compensator (2), and the percussion main valve (3) to the percussion
mechanism (13).

Operation of the impulse cylinder controlled return automatics
K70
V19
When return automatics is on and the rock drill reaches the front limit, starts
the return movement, with rotation turned on. As the rock drill reaches the
rear limit, fast feed is switched off and relay K70 is delaying by 0.2 sec and
during this time the rotation of drill rod stops. If the return automatics is
desired to use without rotation, the control diode V19 in the JB 102 -box
must be removed.
Return automatics can also be used as an auxiliary function. In this case,
the selector switch S73 for return automatics must be turned to the right
and then back, whereby the rock drill starts return movement with rotation.
When the rock drill reaches the front impulse cylinder (129), the pressure
switch (123/S80) is activated, whereby percussion and feed control valves
(14) and (31) are centralized (the rotation pilot control valve (58) remains
on). After that the control pressure in the said control lines disappears, and
the percussion selector valve (4) changes its position and closes the
percussion main valve (3).
Control pressure is also removed from the water control valve (100), and
water flushing is shuts off. The pressure switch (123/S80) activates the coil
Y47 of the return automatics selector valve (39), whereby the pilot control
pressure is able to reach the control line d of the feed directional valve (23)
through the return automatics selector valve (39) and the shuttle valve (38).
In this situation, the feed directional valve (23) immediately changes its
position, and fast feed is switched on.
Feed pressure also reaches the load sensing line of the variable
displacement pump (1) through the shuttle valve (26), (42), and (10), and
after the shuttle valve (26), also the feed pressure gauge (21). Fast feed
backwards is on until the rear impulse cylinder (130) is activated the limit
switch (125/S81) . At the same time, the rotation pilot control valve (58) is
centralized, and rotation is turned off, also fast feed to backwards stops.

4.2.16 Proximity switch controlled return automatics (alternative)
The function principle of the proximity switch controlled return automatics is
the same as in the impulse cylinder controlled return automatics. The main
differences are as follows:
• Impulse cylinders are replaced with proximity switches
• Return automatics control block is removed from the control system
• Main functions (percussion, feed, rotation) are controlled directly via
proximity switches
Function
When the rock drill reaches the front limit proximity switch (S80), the
percussion and feed control valves (14) and (31) are centralized (the
rotation pilot control valve (58) remains on). After that the control pressure
in the aforementioned control lines disappears and the percussion selector
valve (4) changes its position and closes the percussion main valve (3).
Control pressure is also removed from the water control valve (100) and air
control valve (101), and air mist flushing is shutting off. The front limit
proximity switch (S80) activates the coil Y47 of the return automatics
selector valve (39) whereby the pilot control pressure regulated by the pilot
control pressure regulating valve (43) is able to reach the control line d of
the feed directional valve (23) through the return automatics selector valve
(39) and the shuttle valve (38). In the same time the control pressure after
the valve (39) is able to reach the shuttle valve (134) and the air valve
(101). In this situation the feed directional valve (23) immediately changes
its position and fast feed is switched on and air flushing is turned on.

backwards is on until the rear limit proximity switch (S81) is activated.At the
same time the rotation pilot control valve (58) is centralized and rotation is
turned off. Also fast feed backwards stops. The return flow from the rock

Operation of the return automatics with air blowing automatics

Return automatics can also be used with an air blowing. In this case return
automatics with air blowing must be selected with the switch S74 on the
THC-panel, whereby air is blown to the hole for 6 seconds before the rock
drill starts return movement with rotation.
When the rock drill reaches the front impulse cylinder (129), the pressure
switch (123/S80) is activated, whereby percussion and feed control valves
(14) and (31) are centralized (the rotation pilot control valve (58) remains
on). After that the control pressure in the said control lines disappears, and
the percussion selector valve (4) changes its position and closes the
percussion main valve (3).
Control pressure is also removed from the water control valve (100), and
water flushing is shuts off. The pressure switch (123/S80) activates the coil
Y454 of the air blowing automatics on/off valve (209), whereby the control
pressure flows to the air control valve (101). After the air blowing the coil
Y454 deactivates and the coil Y47 of the return automatics selector valve
(39) activates, whereby the pilot control pressure is able to reach the
control line d of the feed directional valve (23) through the return
automatics selector valve (39) and the shuttle valve (38). In this situation,
the feed directional valve (23) immediately changes its position, and fast

Operation of the manual control of fast feed

The manual control of fast feed is a proportional function, i.e. the inclination
angle of the control lever for the fast feed pilot control valve (33) determines
the speed of fast feed (the bigger the angle the faster the speed). The
control lever of the fast feed pilot control valve (33) is centralized by a
spring. Manual control of fast feed can, for instance, be used for flushing
drilled holes.
During fast feed (forwards) the system operates as follows:
Rotation and percussion are not on in this situation, as the rotation pilot
control valve (58) and the percussion pilot control valve (14) are in the
central position.
When the control lever of the fast feed pilot control valve (33) is pulled to
the back position, pilot control pressure passes through the shuttle valve
(36) to the control line c of the feed directional valve (23). Now, the spool of
the feed directional valve (23) changes its position, and the pressure from
the percussion circuit passes through the compensator (22) and the feed
directional valve (23) to the feed line A, and to the feed cylinder (28). Feed
pressure also passes through the shuttle valves (26), (42), and (10) to the
load sensing line of the variable displacement pump (1), and after the
shuttle valve (26) to the feed pressure gauge (21). The max. feed pressure
of fast feed forwards is restricted by the max. pressure relief valve (25) for
the feed line A of the feed directional valve, and by the fast feed max.
pressure relief valve (30) for fast feed backwards.
return oil filter (113), and ends up into the hydraulic oil tank (110).
The leak oil of the pilot control valve (33) is directed first to the collecting
piece (135) and from there to the hydraulic oil tank (110).
Fast feed forwards can be used with percussion on, in which case fast feed
pressure is determined by the feed pressure regulating valve (20) and the
feed deviation valve (216) and percussion pressure is adjusted according to
feed/percussion monitoring.

Operation of the threading

Threading means a situation where the drill rod is threaded on or off with a
rock drill shank. Threading is done with the control levers for the rotation
pilot control valve (58) and the feed pilot control valve (31).
In threading, the system operates as follows:
Rotation is turned on by pulling back the control lever of the rotation pilot
control valve (58) (if required, the speed of rotation can be adjusted with the
regulating valve (59) for rotation speed). Pull the control lever of the feed
pilot control valve (31) backwards to feed the rock drill forwards at a speed
that corresponds to the thread pitch. Keep the feed speed constant
throughout the threading operation. Feed pressure can be adjusted suitable
with the feed deviation valve (216) (normal feed pressure for drilling can be
used as the basic setting).
Feed speed can be adjusted suitable with the feed speed regulating valve
(150).
Note! During threading, rotation pressure must be kept below the anti-
jamming activation pressure. If the pressure rises to this value, feed
direction is reversed.

Operation of the rattling

Rattling pressure is determined according to the adjustment of the
percussion max. pressure relief valve (7).
When the percussion pilot control valve (14) is pushed into the front
position (Note! Pilot control valve (14) can't be locked into the front
position), pilot control pressure affects into the rattling on/off valve (8), into
the percussion selector valve (4) through the shuttle valve (15) and also
into the percussion pressure selector valve (5) through the shuttle valve
(16). The percussion pressure selector valve (5) changes position and
closes the connection to the percussion half-power pressure relief valve (6).
Also the rattling on/off valve (8) changes position and closes the connection
to the monitoring valve (18). The percussion selector valve (4) opens the
percussion main valve (3), and the output of the variable displacement
pump (1) flows through the non-return valve (116), the pressure filter (112),
the compensator (2), and the percussion main valve (3) into the percussion
mechanism (13). After the orifice (9), the pressure affects into the pressure
compensator (2), and reaches the load-sensing line of the variable
displacement pump (1) through theshuttle valve (10). Oil flows also to the
percussion pressure selector valve (5), the rattling on/off valve (8) and the
percussion max. pressure relief valve (7) which determines the rattling
pressure.
The pressure after the percussion main valve also affects into the
percussion pressure gauge (11).
The return flow from the percussion mechanism (13) passes through the
collecting piece (115), the cooler (315), and the return oil filter (113), ending

Operation of the separate flushing

The THC 561 drilling system is equipped with a selector valve (102) for
separate flushing. This makes it possible to flush the drilled hole with air or
water as a separate function after the actual drilling.
The selector valve (102) for separate flushing can be locked, so that
flushing can be left on for longer periods. When the separate flushing
selector valve is locked into the rear position, water flushing is turned on,
while the front position is for air flushing.
When water flushing (selector valve 102) is selected, the separate flushing
function is as follows:
When the selector valve is locked to the rear position, the pressure from the
pilot control pressure regulating valve (43) passes through the separate
flushing selector valve (102) and the shuttle valve (103) to the water control
valve (100), and water flushing is turned on.

Operation when using the diesel engine for running rock drill
The THC 561 drilling system also allows the use the feed of rock drill with
diesel. This function is convenient in maintenance work, when the
powerpacks cannot be used.When the rock drill needs to be fed forwards or
backwards with diesel power, the boom control operating valve for zoom or
feed transfer must be used in addition to the feed pilot control valve (31) in
order to close the free circulation valve at the boom control valve. The
directions of these two movements must always be chosen so that no
danger is caused to the operator, the third persons or the rig.
When diesel power is used for running the rock drill forwards, the system
operates as follows:
When the feed pilot control valve (31) is pulled to the back position and,
simultaneously, the boom zoom cylinder, for instance, is run inwards, the
pressure that comes from the pilot control pressure regulating valve (43)
reaches the feed control line c through the feed pilot control valve (31), the
anti-jamming valve (34), and the shuttle valve (36). In addition, pilot control
pressure passes through the shuttle valves (35) and (224) to the feed LS
line selector valve (29). The pilot pressure affects also to the directional
valve (44) via the shuttle valves (35) and (224).
The oil produced by the carrier’s gear pump passes through the non-return
valve (117), the pressure filter (112), the pressure compensator (22), and
the feed directional valve (23) to the feed cylinder (28). Oil flows also
through the port P1 of the percussion and feed control block, the pressure
reducing/reliefing valve of the boom circuit (210), the port P5 of the
percussion and feed control block and the drilling module movement
prevention valve (222) to the boom control valve. The pressure in the LS
line of the feed directional valve passes through the shuttle valve (26) and
selector valve (29) of the feed LS line, to the feed pressure regulating valve
(20), the feed deviation valve (216) and further through the selector valve
(32) of the feed LS line return circuit to the return line of the feed cylinder
(28). The pressure in the feed LS line also affects the feed pressure gauge
(21). The pressure in the feed A line affects the pressure relief valve /
intake valve (25), and the feed B line pressure affects the pressure relief
valve / intake valve (24).
Oil from the feed cylinder (28) flows to the connection B of feed directional
valve (23) and from there to feed line B max. pressure relief valve (24).
From here oil flows through the tank connector T3 of control block of drilling
to the collecting piece (115), via the oil cooler (315) to the return oil filter
(113) and the oil tank (110).
The leak oil from the feed pilot control valve (31) is first directed to the
Note! Never use percussion mechanism with diesel. Low pressure of diesel
controlled hydraulic system can damage components of the
pressure accumulator.

6 TROUBLESHOOTING
6.1 General
If the drilling system is not working as it should, check the following points
before making any further measurements:
• Signal lights, e.g.
- hydraulic oil level
- hydraulic oil temperature
- pressure differences over return and pressure filters
- water and air pressure control
- powerpacks’ direction of rotation
- etc.
• External leaks at hoses, connection, adapters, and other hydraulic
components.
• Mechanical functions (e.g. sliding pieces, rollers and return wheels)
• Supply voltage to the drilling rig / the different devices.
• External cable damage.
• Mounting of electric plugs.
• Pressure gauge readings.
6.2 Pumps (1) and (50) do not rotate at all, or their speed is not
normal
1. Measure the supply voltage to the powerpack.
If the voltage is correct, it is likely that the fault is mechanical.
If the electric motor does not receive sufficient control voltage, refer to
electric system troubleshooting.
2. Check if a mechanical damage prevents the pumps from rotating.
3. Repair or replace the damaged component.
Note! Noisy powerpack normally predicts a mechanical fault. It is best to

immediately repair (or replace) the component that causes the noise
in order to avoid any greater damage.
6.3 Variable displacement pump (1) rotates normally, but the

regulator settings are not normal
The settings of the variable displacement pump (1) regulator are as follows:
• Flow regulator (A) 22-30 bar
• Pressure regulator (B) 230 bar
These settings of the variable displacement pump (1) can be checked as
follows:
1. Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M1 for feed and
percussion.

ID: BG00333700 en-US C.001.1 2014-11-17

3. Read the stand-by pressure value in the pressure gauge at the
measuring point M1 (allow the pressure to stabilize).
4. Run, for instance, the zoom cylinder inwards and at the same time read
the pressure in the pressure gauge at the measuring point M1.

ID: BG00333700 en-US C.001.1 2014-11-17
6.3.1 Flow regulator (A) value deviates from the set value 22-30 bar
1. Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M7 for feed and
percussion.
3. If the pressure at the measuring point M7 of the feed and percussion
control block is normal tank pressure, it is likely that the regulator A of the
pump (1) is incorrectly adjusted or sticking. Adjust the free circulation
pressure of the pump (1) to the correct value with the regulator A (Cf.
Adjusting variable displacement pump (1)).
4. If the above measures did not help, stop the powerpack and repair or
replace the whole regulator unit. Adjust the regulator A or the regulator
unit according to chapter Adjusting variable displacement pump (1)).
5. If the pressure at the pressure measuring point M7 of the feed and
percussion control block is over the normal tank pressure, it may be that
one of the valves (3), (4), (14), (23), (31), (33), (39), or of the boom
valves, is sticking (i.e. one of the above valves is leaking, and giving a
control signal to the pump (1)).
6. Start troubleshooting by checking the condition of the pilot control valves
(14), (31), and (33), and the return automatics selector valve (39).
They can be inspected as follows:
a) Start the powerpack.
b) Install a pressure gauge to the following measuring points
alternately:
• measuring point M9 of the feed and percussion control block
• measuring points M1, M2, and M3 of the anti-jamming and
return automatics control block
c) If the measuring point M9 receives pressure, it is likely that the
spool of the percussion pilot control valve (14) is sticking.
d) If the measuring point M2 or M3 of the anti-jamming and return
automatics control block receives pressure, it is likely that the fast
feed pilot control valve (33) or the return automatics selector valve
(39) is sticking.
e) If the measuring points M1 and M2 or M1 and M3 of the anti-
jamming and return automatics control block receive pressure
simultaneously, it is likely that the feed pilot control valve (31) is
sticking.
f) If the measuring points M1 and M2 of the anti-jamming and return
automatics control block do not receive pressure, but port LS1
does, it is likely that the anti-jamming valve of flushing control (206)
is sticking.
g) Stop the powerpack and replace the faulty valves.
7. If the above measures did not help, check the operation of the valves (3),
(4), (23), and of the boom valve. They are inspected as follows:
a) Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M1 of the feed and
percussion control block.
b) Start the powerpack.

ID: BG00333700 en-US C.001.1 2014-11-17
c) If the readings of the percussion (11) and feed (21) pressure

gauges is zero, but the pressure at the measuring point M1 is over
stand by-pressure, it is likely that the boom valve is sticking.
d) Stop the powerpack.
e) Clean, repair, or replace the boom valve.
f) Remove the pressure gauge from the measuring point M1.
g) If pressure reaches the percussion pressure gauge (11) and
percussion operates normally when the powerpack is running, it is
likely that the percussion main valve (3) or the percussion selector
valve (4) is faulty. In this case, do as follows:
• Stop the powerpack.
• Clean and repair, or replace the faulty valve.
h) If pressure reaches the feed pressure gauge (21) when the
powerpack is running, it is likely that the spool of the feed
directional valve (23) is sticking. In this case, do as follows:
• Remove the spool of the feed directional valve (23).
• Clean the spool and the spool housing carefully.
• Reinstall the spool (do not use excessive force).
6.3.2 Pressure regulator (B) value deviates from the set value 230 bar
1. Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M1 of the feed and
3. Run, for instance, the zoom cylinder inwards and at the same time adjust
the pressure regulator (B) of the pump (1) to the set value 230 bar.
4. If the pressure regulator does not react to adjustment, it is either sticking
or faulty.
6. Clean and repair the regulator (B), or replace the whole regulator unit
(adjust according to chapter Adjusting variable displacement pump (1)).
7. If the pressure regulator (B) operates normally during drilling, but the
max. pressure value of 230 bar is not reached when the boom is run, it is
likely that the boom valve’s main pressure limit is faulty. In this case, look
up into “Hydraulic TB/SB boom” manual.
6.4 Percussion not working at all

1. If the percussion pressure gauge (11) shows a reading, but percussion
does not work when the control lever of the percussion pilot control valve
(14) is locked into the rear position, it is likely that the rock drill is faulty.
In this case, do the following:
a) Stop the powerpack.
b) Repair or replace the rock drill (refer to rock drill manuals).

ID: BG00333700 en-US C.001.1 2014-11-17
2. If the percussion pressure gauge (11) does not show any reading when
the percussion control lever (14) is locked into the rear position, it is likely
that either the percussion main valve (3) or the percussion selector valve
(4) is sticking. Check the operation of the valves as follows:
b) Clean and repair, or replace the faulty valve(s).
3. If the percussion pressure gauge (11) shows a reading, but percussion
starts only partially (or not at all) when the control lever of the percussion
pilot control valve (14) is locked into the rear position, and while boom
functions are normal, it is likely that the orifice (9) in the load-sensing line
is blocked. Check the orifice as follows:
b) Remove the adapter from the port 9 of the feed and percussion
control block.
c) Remove the orifice (9) and check if it is blocked (clear the hole as
necessary).
d) Mount the orifice (9) carefully back on the port 9 of the feed and
6.5 Percussion is on always when the powerpack or the diesel engine

is running
1. First, check tank line pressure of the drilling pilot control valves (58), (14),
and (31). This pressure should be less than 1 bar. The tank pressure is
checked as follows:
b) Install a pressure gauge to the tank line of the drilling pilot control
valves (58), (14), and (31).
c) Start the powerpack.
d) If the pressure in the tank line is over 1 bar, check if the tank line is
correctly installed or is there something blocking the line.
2. If the tank line pressure of the pilot control valves (58), (14), and (31) is
below 1 bar, it is likely that either the valves (3) and (4) or the valve (14)
is sticking. The operation of the valves can be checked as follows:
a) Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M9 of the feed and
c) If the measuring point M9 shows no pressure, it is likely that the
valve (3) or (4) is sticking. Check the valves as follows:
• Clean and repair, or replace the faulty valve(s).
d) If the measuring point M9 shows a pressure reading, it is likely that
the valve (14) is sticking (leaking). Check the operation of the valve
as follows:
• Replace the percussion pilot control valve (14).

ID: BG00333700 en-US C.001.1 2014-11-17
6.6 Percussion full-power max. pressure too high

1. If the rattling on/off valve (8) is faulty or sticking, clean and repair, or
replace the valve.
2. If the percussion pressure is too high, start troubleshooting by checking
the adjustment of the percussion max. pressure relief valve (7) according
to chapter Adjusting percussion full-power. If the percussion pressure
relief valve (7) is not working properly, clean and repair, or replace the
valve.
3. If the above measures do not make the pressure level correct, the fault
may be that the load-sensing line orifice (9) has loosened. The mounting
of the orifice (9) is checked from the port 9 of the feed and percussion
control block as follows:
b) Remove the adapter from the port 9 of the feed and percussion
control block.
c) Check if the orifice (9) is properly seated at the bottom of the
drilling port 9.
d) If the orifice has loosened, retighten it carefully.
e) Mount the adapter back on the port 9 of the feed and percussion
control block.
6.7 Percussion full-power max. pressure too low

1. If the percussion pressure is too low, start out by checking the operation
of the percussion max. pressure relief valve (7) according to chapter
Adjusting percussion full-power. If the percussion pressure relief valve (7)
does not adjust as described in the chapter Adjusting percussion full-
power, clean and repair, or replace the valve.

ID: BG00333700 en-US C.001.1 2014-11-17
2. Next, check the feed pilot control pressure value:

a) Remove the drill rod.
b) Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M1 for the anti-
jamming and return automatics.
d) Run the rock drill against the front stopper by locking the control
lever of the feed pilot control valve into the rear position.
e) If the pressure at the measuring point M1 is not 19-21 bar, it is
likely that the feed pilot control valve (31) is faulty.
f) Stop the powerpack.
g) Replace the feed pilot control valve (31).
h) If the pressure at the measuring point M1 is approx. 19-21 bar, it is
likely that the percussion pressure selector valve (5) and/or the
monitoring valve (18) is faulty or sticking. Check the operation of
the monitoring valve (18) as follows:
• Engage rattling.
- If rattling pressure is same as the max. percussion
pressure, the monitoring valve (18) is faulty or sticking.
• Clean and repair, or replace the faulty valve (5) and/or (18).
3. Percussion pressure may also drop if the load-sensing line orifice (9)
becomes blocked. Check the orifice (9) as follows:
a) Start the powerpack.
b) Turn percussion on by locking the control lever of the percussion
pilot control valve (14) into the rear position, and move the boom at
the same time.
c) If the boom functions are normal, but the percussion pressure
remains low, it is likely that the orifice (9) in the load-sensing line is
at least partly blocked. Check the orifice (9) hole as follows:
• Remove the adapter from the port 9 of the feed and percussion
control block.
• Remove the orifice (9) to check it (clear the hole as necessary).
• Mount the orifice (9) back carefully.
4. If the output of the pump (1) is insufficient, the percussion pressure will
drop. The output of the pump (1) can be checked by installing flow
meters to the percussion and feed lines. The flow rates for percussion
(HLX5/RD) and feed (TF500/TFX500) are following:
Percussion Feed
100-115 l/min 4-8 l/min
If the flow rates are higher than those given above, you should
immediately check the condition of the rock drill or the feed cylinder.

ID: BG00333700 en-US C.001.1 2014-11-17
5. A drop in percussion pressure may also be caused by a leaking shuttle

valve (10) and/or (208) or directional valve (223). Check the shuttle
valves as follows:
b) Clean or replace the valve (10) and/or (208).
6. Check the condition of the pressure gauge (11) with a calibrated
reference gauge.
6.8 Percussion half-power pressure too high

1. If the percussion half-power pressure is too high, check the adjustment of
the percussion half-power pressure relief valve (6) and the monitoring
valve (18) according to chapters Adjusting percussion half-power and
Adjusting min. percussion pressure. If the pressure relief valve (6) or the
monitoring valve (18) does not work as it should, clean and repair, or
replace the faulty valve.
2. If the pressure level is not correct after the above repair, the reason may
also be that the orifice (9) of the load-sensing line has loosened. The
mounting of the orifice (9) is checked from the port 9 of the feed and
percussion control block as follows:
b) Remove the adapter from the port 9 of feed and percussion control
block.
c) Check if the orifice (9) is properly seated at the bottom of the
drilling port 9.
d) If the orifice has loosened, retighten it carefully.
e) Mount the adapter back on the port 9 of the feed and percussion
control block.
3. High pressure level of percussion half-power may also result if the
percussion pressure selector valve (5) is sticking. Check the operation of
the valve as follows:
b) Clean and repair, or replace the valve (5).
6.9 Percussion half-power pressure too low

1. If the percussion half-power pressure is too low, check the adjustment of
the percussion half-power pressure relief valve (6) according to chapter
Adjusting percussion half-power and/or the monitoring valve (18)
according to chapter Adjusting min. percussion pressure. If the pressure
relief valve (6) and/or the monitoring valve (18) do not work as they
should, clean and repair, or replace the valves.

ID: BG00333700 en-US C.001.1 2014-11-17
2. If the pressure level is not correct after the above repair, the reason may
also be that the orifice (9) of the load-sensing line has become blocked.
Check the orifice (9) from the port 9 of the feed and percussion control
block as follows:
b) Remove the adapter from the port 9 of feed and percussion control
block.
c) Remove the orifice (9) at the bottom of the drilling.
d) Clear the orifice hole as necessary.
e) Mount the orifice (9) back to the bottom of the hole carefully.
f) Mount the adapter back on port 9 of the feed and percussion
control block.
6.10 Feed not working at all (drilling)

If drilling feed is not working at all, check the adjustment of feed pilot control
pressure. Feed pilot control pressure is checked as follows:
1. Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M1 of the anti-jamming
and return automatics block.
3. Lock the control lever of the feed pilot control valve (31) into the rear
position.
4. If the pressure at the measuring point M1 is approx. 19-21 bar, and the
feed pressure gauge (21) also shows a pressure reading, it is likely that
the feed cylinder is faulty, or a mechanical fault prevents feed. Repair or
replace the faulty component(s).
5. If the pressure at the measuring point M1 is approx. 19-21 bar, but the
feed pressure gauge (21) does not show any reading, it is likely that the
spool of the feed directional valve (23) is sticking. Check the operation of
the spool as follows:
b) Remove the front cover of the feed directional valve (23). The spool
comes out with the cover.
c) Clean the spool and the valve housing carefully.
d) Mount the spool back with care.
6. If there is no pressure at the measuring point M1, it is likely that the feed
pilot control valve (31) is faulty. Repair as follows:
b) Replace the valve (31).
6.11 Drilling feed pressure too low

Troubleshooting should be started by checking the operation of the feed
regulating valve (20) and/or feed deviation valve (216). This is done as
follows:

ID: BG00333700 en-US C.001.1 2014-11-17
2. Lock the control lever of the feed pilot control valve (31) into the front
position.
3. Check if the feed pressure regulating valve (20) and/or feed deviation
valve (216) adjusts the feed pressure according to the chapter Adjusting
feed pressure. Read the pressure value in the pressure gauge (21).
4. Release the control lever of the feed pilot control valve (31) into the
middle position.
6. If the feed pressure regulating valve (20) and/or feed deviation valve
(216) does not adjust according to the chapter Adjusting feed pressure, it
is likely that either the valve (20) and/or valve (216) or the feed cylinder is
faulty. Check the condition of the components as follows:
b) Plug the feed pressure line.
c) Start the powerpack and check if the feed pressure regulating valve
(20) and/or feed deviation valve (216) adjusts according to the
chapter Adjusting feed pressure.
d) If the valve (20) and/or valve (216)adjusts according to the chapter
Adjusting feed pressure, it is likely that the feed cylinder is faulty.
Repair or replace the faulty component.
e) If the feed pressure regulating valve (20) and/or feed deviation
valve (216) is still not adjusting, it is likely that the valve (20) and/or
valve (216) is faulty. Clean and repair or replace the valve.
7. If the above repairs did not remedy the feed pressure adjustment, check
the feed pilot control pressure value. It should be approx. 19-21 bar.
Check the pressure as follows:
a) Install a pressure gauge to themeasuring point M1 of the anti-
jamming and return automatics block.
b) Remove the drill rod.
c) Lock the control lever of the feed pilot control valve (31) into the
rear position.
d) If the pressure at the measuring point M1 is not approx. 19-21 bar,
it is likely that the feed pilot control valve (31) is faulty. Repair as
follows:
• Replace the faulty pilot control valve (31).
6.12 Drilling feed pressure too high

1. First, check the operation of the feed pressure regulating valve (20)
and/or feed deviation valve (216) as instructed in chapter Drilling feed
pressure too low, steps 1-5. If the pressure regulating valve (20) and/or
feed deviation valve (216) does not adjust according to the chapter
Adjusting feed pressure, it is likely that either the valve (20) and/or valve
(216) is faulty. Repair as follows:
b) Clean and repair, or replace the valve (20) and/or valve (216).

ID: BG00333700 en-US C.001.1 2014-11-17
2. If the fault was not removed, follow the instructions in the chapter Drilling
feed pressure too low, step 5. If the pressure at the measuring point of
the anti-jamming and return automatics block is well over 21 bar, it is
likely that the feed pilot control valve (31) or the fast feed pilot control
valve (33) is faulty. Check the operation of the valves as follows:
a) Install pressure gauges to the measuring points M1 and M2 of the
anti-jamming and return automatics block.
c) If pressure reaches the measuring point M2 only, it is likely that the
fast feed pilot control valve (33) is faulty, but if both measuring
points receive pressure simultaneously, it is likely that the feed pilot
control valve (31) is faulty.
d) Stop the powerpack.
e) Replace the faulty valve.
3. If the fault still was not removed, it is likely that the compensator (22) of
the feed directional valve (23) is faulty. In this case, the feed directional
valve (23) must be replaced as a complete unit.
6.13 Manually controlled fast feed not working

1. If manually controlled fast feed is not working at all, troubleshooting
should be started by checking whether other movements function
according to the chapter Drilling functions, fast feed and separate
flushing do not start.
2. If the other movements (mentioned above) are working, then check the
pilot control pressure of fast feed. The pressure is checked as follows:
d) Run fast feed back and forth by turning the control lever of the fast
feed pilot control valve (33) forwards and backwards.
3. If the measuring points M2 and M3 receive an approx. 30 bar pressure,
and the feed pressure gauge (21) also shows a pressure reading, it is
likely that the feed cylinder is faulty, or a mechanical fault prevents the
movement.
a) Repair or replace the faulty component(s).
4. If the measuring points M2 and M3 receive an approx. 30 bar pressure,
but the feed pressure gauge (21) shows no reading, it is likely that the
spool of the feed directional valve (23) is sticking. Check the operation of
the spool as follows:
b) Remove the front cover of the feed directional valve (23). The spool
comes out with the cover.
c) Clean the spool and the valve housing carefully.
d) Insert the spool back with care, and mount the front cover.

ID: BG00333700 en-US C.001.1 2014-11-17
5. If the measuring points M2 and M3 receive no pressure, it is likely that

the fast feed pilot control valve (33) is faulty. Repair as follows:
b) Replace the faulty valve (33).
6.14 Manually controlled fast feed too slow

1. Start troubleshooting by checking the pilot control pressures of fast feed
in both directions. The pressures are checked as follows:
d) Run fast feed back and forth by turning the control lever of the fast
feed pilot control valve (33) forwards and backwards.
2. If both measuring points show an approx. 30 bar pilot control pressure, it
is likely that the fault is caused by either the adjustments of fast feed
max. speeds or the adjustment of fast feed max. pressure. Check the
adjustments as follows:
a) Run the rock drill against the rear stopper by locking the control
lever of the fast feed pilot control valve (33) into the front position.
b) If the feed pressure gauge (21) shows the set 210 bar pressure, it
is likely that the fast feed max. speeds are incorrectly adjusted.
Adjust the fast feed max. speeds according to instructions in
chapter Adjusting fast feed max. speed.
c) If the fast feed max. pressure is not at the set value, adjust the
pressure according to chapter Adjusting fast feed max. pressure. If
the adjustment does not correct the situation, the fault is caused by
either the fast feed max. pressure relief valve (30) or the feed
cylinder.
• Plug the feed cylinder.
• Run fast feed forwards by pulling the control lever of the fast
feed pilot control valve (33) backwards.
• If the fast feed pressure now adjusts to the set value, it is likely
that the feed cylinder is leaking or the feed has mechanical
fault. Repair or replace the faulty component(s).
• If the pressure does not adjust with the fast feed max. pressure
relief valve (30), it is likely that the valve is faulty. Clean and
repair, or replace the valve (30), and adjust as instructed in
chapter Adjusting fast feed max. pressure.
6.15 Manually controlled fast feed too fast

If manually controlled fast feed is too fast in either direction, the fast fed
max. speeds are incorrectly adjusted. Refer to chapter Adjusting fast feed
max. speed.

ID: BG00333700 en-US C.001.1 2014-11-17
6.16 Rotation pressure too low

1. If rotation pressure is insufficient during drilling, you should immediately
check the setting of LS-pressure relief valve (65) of the rotation control
block. Refer to chapter Adjusting the max. pressure of rotation circuit. If
the LS-pressure relief valve (65) does not adjust to the recommended
value (180 bar), it is likely that the valve (65) is faulty. In this case, clean
and repair or replace the valve and adjust it according to the instructions
in chapter Adjusting the max. pressure of rotation circuit.
2. If the rotation pressure is lower than normal during drilling, the reason
may be that the feed pressure is too low or the oil flow to feed is too
small. In this situation, there is a risk of underfeed, and the following
points should be checked:
a) Adjust feed pressure with the feed deviation valve (216) so that
rotation pressure sets between 80 and 100 bar (RD314: 100-120
bar). If this won't help follow the steps 2b to 2g.
b) Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M1 of the anti-
jamming and return automatics block.
c) Remove the drill rod.
d) Start the powerpack.
e) Lock the control lever of the feed pilot control valve (31) to the rear
position.
f) If the pressure at the measuring point M1 is approx. 19-21 bar, it is
likely that the feed pressure is insufficient.
g) If the pressure is well below 19 bar, it is likely that the feed pilot
control valve (31) is faulty. Replace the faulty valve (31).
3. If the rotation pressure persistently remains low, it is likely that the rock
drill rotation motor is leaking.
a) Replace the rock drill rotation motor.
6.17 Rotation pressure too high during drilling

1. Too high rotation pressure during drilling may be caused by too high feed
pressure or incorrect drill rod rotation speed.
a) Refer to chapter Adjusting rotation speed for rotation speed
adjustment.
b) Adjust feed pressure with the feed deviation valve (216) so that
rotation pressure sets between 80 and 100 bar (RD314: 100-120
bar). Refer to chapter Adjusting feed pressure.
2. If the above adjustments did not bring down the rotation pressure, it is
likely that the rock drill rotation motor or the rotation mechanism is faulty.
a) Refer to the rock drill maintenance manuals.

ID: BG00333700 en-US C.001.1 2014-11-17
6.18 Rotation speed regulation not working

1. If the regulation of rotation speed is not working, start troubleshooting by
checking the rotation speed pilot control pressure. The pressure is
checked as follows:
a) Install measuring adapters and pressure gauges to the pilot control
lines a and b of the rotation control block.
b) Turn the rotation speed regulating valve (59) fully closed
(clockwise).
d) Lock the control lever of the rotation pilot control valve (58) into the
rear position.
e) Lock the control lever of the rotation pilot control valve (58) into the
front position.
f) Release the control lever of the rotation pilot control valve (58) to
the middle position.
g) Stop the powerpack.
h) If the pilot control lines of the rotation directional valve (53)
received an stand by-pressure, it is likely that the rotation
regulating valve (59) is faulty or the rotation directional valve (53) is
sticking. Check the operation of the valves as follows:
• Clean and repair, or replace the rotation speed regulating valve
(59).
• Lock the control lever of the rotation pilot control valve (58) into
the rear position.
• Turn the rotation speed regulating knob between extreme
positions.
• Release the control lever of the rotation pilot control valve (58)
to the middle position.
i) If the rotation speed regulation still did not work, it is likely that the
rotation directional valve (53) is sticking. Check the operation of the
valve (53) as follows:
• Remove the the rotation directional valve (53).
• Clean the spool and the valve housing carefully.
• Mount the valve back in place.
2. If the above repairs did not help to remedy the rotation speed regulation,
it is likely that the rock drill rotation motor or the rotation mechanism is
faulty.
a) Refer to the rock drill maintenance manuals.

ID: BG00333700 en-US C.001.1 2014-11-17
6.19 Return automatics fast feed not working

If the rock drill does not start return movement automatically from the front
limit, check if the return automatics selector switch is in the correct position
(middle). If it is, check if the coil Y47 of the return automatics selector valve
(39) at the anti-jamming and return automatics block is receiving control
voltage.
• If the coil of the valve (39) receives control voltage, it is likely that the
valve (39) is sticking.
- Clean and repair, or replace the valve.
• If the coil of the valve (39) is not receiving control voltage, refer to
instructions in chapter Electric system troubleshooting.
6.20 Drilling functions, fast feed and separate flushing do not start
If the powerpack is on and drilling module movement prevention is off
(switch SH292/SH293) and drilling functions, fast feed and separate
flushing do not start (at the same time), it is likely that the drilling module
movement prevention valve Y455 (221) is sticking or does not receive a
control signal.
1. Check whether the valve (221) receives contol (is the LED on the valve
socket on?).
2. If the valve receives a control signal, check the operation as follows:
b) Clean and repair, or replace the faulty valve.
3. If the valve does not receive control (the LED is not lit), check the electric
connections. Refer to the separate electic system instruction.
6.21 Disturbance in shank lubrication

The SLU unit monitors the oil flow. If no flow is detected, the indicator light
(H72) on the drilling panel comes on and automatic drilling is stopped. This
is reset by restarting the percussion or rotation and testing whether
lubrication starts.
In the shank lubrication system, the air pressure for shank lubrication is
also monitored, separately for each rock drill. If the air pressure falls below
2.8 bar, the indicator light (H72) on the drilling panel comes on and
automatic drilling is stopped.
The oil level in the SLU oil tank is monitored as well. If the oil level in the
SLU oil tank drops below the preset minimum level, all power packs are
stopped and the low shank lubrication oil level indicator light (H608) on the
QN panel comes on.

ID: BG00333700 en-US C.001.1 2014-11-17
6.21.1 Pinpointing the fault in the pneumatic circuit

If the drilling is stopped repeatedly and the indicator light (H72) indicates
that the fault is in shank lubrication, the fault can be pinpointed in the
pneumatic circuit as follows:
1. Turn rotation on.
Shank lubrication starts.
2. Check whether the rock-drill-specific SLU air valve on the carrier receives
control (is the LED on the valve cover lit?).
3. If the valve receives a control signal, measure the air pressure going to
the pressure switch that monitors the shank lubrication.
The pressure switch should be triggered at 2.8 bar and inform the
monitoring system that the air pressure is sufficient.
4. If the air valve is working properly and the air pressure at the switch is
sufficient, the fault is either in the air pressure switch or in the SLU pump
unit – i.e., in the oil flow.
6.22 Too low or high stabilizer pressure

The stabilizer pressure control system monitors for insufficient or excessive
pressure. The control has a two-second delay.
The stabilizer pressure control is activated when the power pack of the
boom in question is started. If a stabilizer pressure fault occurs, the
stabilizer indicator light (H72) on the drilling panel starts to flash and
automatic drilling is stopped.
The stabilizer pressure control has no separate reset procedure; drilling can
be continued as soon as the stabilizer pressure is within the permissible
range.

2 MAIN COMPONENTS
2.1 Structure of pump
The piston movements of the pump take the oil from the suction side to the
pressure side. The pump is an axial piston pump where the pistons move in
the direction of the drive axle.
The variable displacement pump used by Sandvik is a swashplate type
pump. The piston ends slide against the swashplate which angle depends
on the LS-signal (pressure).
The ports of the pump are marked as follows :
S = suction port
B = pressure port
L = drain port
X = pilot port

The control unit mounted to the pump controls the angle of the swashplate.
The pump has separate controllers for pressure and flow.
The line B1 of the control unit receives system pressure. Through the
borings in the control unit spindles, the pressure is led to the left end of the
control spindles.
The line A leads to the control piston that control the angle of the
swashplate.
The line T leads into the pump housing, and it is connected to the tank
through the drain line.
3.3 Pressure controller

When the pressure in the line B1 increases, the control unit spindle P
moves to the right, against the spring. When the set maximum pressure is
reached, the connection from B1 to A opens, and oil flows to the control
piston that decreases the angle of the swashplate.
The adjusting screw C is used for adjusting the maximum system pressure.
The pressure must be c. 20 bar lower than the opening pressure of the
main pressure relief valve (= safety valve).
3.4 Flow controller

Flow varies according to the demand of the system. The system pressure
through B1 affects the left end of the spindle F. The pressure from the load
sensing line X affects the right end where the spring is located. The
pressure difference over the system directional valve V forces the
regulator’s spindle F against the spring. If the pressure difference
increases, the connection between the lines B1 and A opens, and the pump
is adjusted for lower flow. If the pressure difference decreases, the
connection between the lines A and T opens, and the flow of the pump
increases.
3.4.1 Load sensing lines
It is possible to adjust several systems (X1, X2, etc.) at the same time by
controlling the LS-pressures of each system.
3.4.2 Stand by pressure
In the situation,when no devices are in operation, the load sensing line X
has no pressure, because it is connected to the tank line through the
directional valve. The system pressure from B1 forces the flow regulator
spindle F to the right against the spring. The connection from B1 to A opens
up, and the pump is adjusted to zero flow and low pressure.
The stand by pressure of the system is adjusted with the screw D. The
desired value will adjust according to the adjusting instructions of the pump
(depends on the system).

Mounting Hint
The design of the ROTEX® GS simplifies assembly axially with the plug feature after the assembly of the hubs on
the shafts. The plug in design eliminates the need for the assembly openings in the housing that are necessary to
tighten screws for many other types of couplings.
The teeth of the elastomer spider includes small buttons which are used to establish the correct hub spacing
which makes assembly easier and prevents positioning the hubs too tight together. All teeth are beveled on the
face to assist blind assembly. When pushing the coupling hubs together with the ROTEX® GS spider there is an
axial assembly force required as a result of the elastic pre-stress of the star-shaped elastomer spider. This
assembly force varies depending on the coupling size, the spider hardness and the manufacture tolerances. This
axial coupling force is balanced after pushing the hubs together and does not increase the axial load on the
adjacent bearings.
The assembly force can be reduced by a slight spraying of the elastomer with oil (e. g. Castrol 4 in 1).
Assembly Suggestion for the Bore
DANGER !
STOP The max. permitted bore diameters d1max. and d2max. (see
ROTEX® GS catalogue) must not be exceeded. In case of
non-observance of these values, the coupling can crack.
Danger to life due to broken pieces flying around.
• In case of manufacture of the hub bore by the customer,

the true running and run-out (see picture 5) must be
observed.
• Please absolutely observe the values for d1max. and d2max.
• Align the hubs carefully when assembling the finish bore.
• Plan a set screw or an end disk for the axial safety of the
hubs.
picture 5: truth of running and run-out
Axial alignment
CAUTION !
Please observe the dimension E (table 3) during the assembly, so that the spider is axially
! movable in the insert.
In case of non-observance, the coupling can be damaged.
Displacements
The values of displacement indicated in table 3 offer safety in order to compensate external influences like
e. g. thermal expansions or foundation sinkings.
CAUTION !
In order to ensure a long life of the coupling, the shaft ends have to be exactly aligned.
! Please absolutely observe the indicated values of displacement (see table 3). If you exceed
the values, the coupling will be damaged.
Please note:
• The values of displacement indicated in table 3 are max. values which must not occur simultaneously. If the
radial and the angular displacement occur simultaneously, the permitted values of displacement must only be
used proportionally.
• Please control with a metering clockwork, a ruler or a feeler gauge it the permitted values of displacement
indicated in table 3 are observed.

ATTENTION !
We recommend you to check the bores, shaft, keyway and feather key regarding their
dimensional accuracy before the assembly.
Before starting the assembly, the set bores must be delivered from means of preservation. The shaft ends have to
be cleaned, too.
CAUTION !
Please observe the manufacturer´s instructions concerning the use of cleaning materials.
!
The axial safety must be effected by a set screw DIN 916 with cup point or end plate. Please see table 3
concerning tightening torques for set screws.
By a slight warming-up of the hubs (approx. 80 °C), an easier push onto the shaft is possible.
DANGER !
STOP If you touch the warmed-up hub, you will get burns.
Please wear protective gaunts.
Assembly of clamping hubs (design 2.0, 2.1, 2.5 and 2.6)
The power transmission of the ROTEX® GS clamping hubs is effected frictionally engaged (design 2.0 and 2.5). In
design 2.1 and 2.6 there is additionally a positive transmission by a feather key.
Please observe the following procedure the assembly:

• Clean and degrease the hub bore and the shaft.
• Release the clamping screw slightly.
• Push the hub onto the shaft.
• Tighten the clamping screws with the tightening torques indicated in table
1.
CAUTION !
The frictionally engaged and transmittable torques of the
! clamping hubs are dependent on the bore diameter. picture 7: assembly of the clamping hub

Assembly of clamping ring hubs design 6.0
The friction of the hub-shaft affects the torque transmission capacity of the ROTEX® GS clamping ring hub. The
clamping ring’s internal taper and the taper of the hub that shrinks the hub onto the shaft creates the surface
pressure necessary to carry the load. The torques indicated in table 2 assumes that the hub tolerance is DIN
H7/k6 and the shaft fit of Ø55 G7/m6. In case of looser tolerances the torques in table 2 are reduced.
The shafts (especially hollow shafts) must be selected for strength and size with sufficient safety to prevent plastic
deformation. This can be roughly checked with the following criterion.
If hollow shafts are used with clamping hubs, the Rp0,2 − 2 ⋅ pW

necessary inside diameter of the hollow shaft diw is diW ≤ d ⋅ [mm]
calculated with the following formula: Rp0,2
Tangential tension at the shaft inside diameter for

hollow shaft: σ tiW ≈ −
2 ⋅ pW
1 − CW 2
[N / mm ] 2
Tangential tension for full shaft: [

σ tW = − p W N / mm2 ]
Rp0,2 = yield point of shaft material [Nmm2] diW = inside diameter of the hollow shaft [mm]
pW = surface pressure hub / shaft [N/mm2] d = shaft diameter [mm]
CW = diW / d
The necessary strength is not assured if the bore of the hollow shaft is larger than the calculated max. inside bore
or if the tangential tension / clamping exceeds the yield point of the material.
For detailed calculation please contact the KTR Engineering Department.

ROTEX® GS
GmbH sheet: 7
edition: 5
Please observe the following procedure during the assembly:

• Clean the hub bore and the shaft and oil them afterwards with liquid oil
(e. g. with Castrol 4 in 1 or Klüber Quitsch EX).
CAUTION !
Do not use oil and grease with molybdenum disulphide
! or other high pressure additions as well as sliding
grease pastes.
• Release the clamping screw slightly and pull off the clamping ring slightly
from the hub, so that the clamping ring is released.
• Push the clamping ring hub onto the shaft.
• Tighten the clamping screws evenly and crosswise step by step until
reaching the final tightening torque indicated in table 2. You have to repeat picture 8: assembly
this until all clamping screws show this tightening torque. Also in the clamping ring hub with clamping ring
intermediate steps you have to repeat this process until reaching the
tightening torque with all clamping screws.
Disassembly:
Release the clamping screws evenly one after the other. Every screw must be
released only a half rotation each revolution. Unscrew all clamping screws 3 -
4 threads.
Elimiate the screw next to the threads for pull-off screws and screw them into
the planned threads for pull-off screws.
You can release the clamping ring by an even and crosswise tightening of the
screws in the threads for pull-off screws. Tighten the screws step by step.
CAUTION !
In case of non-observance of these advices, the function of
! the coupling can be influenced.
