Troubleshooting
CAUSE SOLUTION
Hydraulic power source is not
in operation, or selector valve
has not been turned on.
Start the power source and
switch selector valve to allow oil
to flow to rockdrill.
Disconnected hose. Connect the hose.
Quick coupling. Check the couplings.
Connections to rockdrill are
reversed. Check connections. With
rockdrill standing up, high
pressure should go into top
orifice, return should go to lower.
Relief valve setting on power
source too low Raise relief valve setting.
Broken control valve. * Replace.
Control valve malfunction. Disassemble drill, improve control
valve and valve body fitting and
eliminate foreign matter.
1. Drill does not operate when
control lever is depressed.
2. Drill hammers but will not rotate.
CAUSE SOLUTION
The rotation adjust dial is
turned fully clockwise (Closed
position).
Turn the knob counterclockwise
to achieve the desired drill speed.
The gear motor key is worn or
damaged. * Replace.
The gear motor is obstructed
by debris. Disassemble and clean.
3. Drill operates but strikes and rotates at slow rate.
CAUSE SOLUTION
Low hydraulic source flow rate. Increase flow rate by increasing
engine RPM on power source.
Relief valve setting on power
source is too low. Set to proper pressure.
4. Striking rate is normal, but impact is weak.
CAUSE SOLUTION
Low accumulator gas pressure. Increase pressure to 40 kg/cm2 by
charging with nitrogen gas. See
page 14 for imporatant note.
Broken accumulator diaphragm. * Replace.
5. Drill flushing air is weak.
CAUSE SOLUTION
The air cleaner element or
sponge is clogged with debris. Clean with soapy water, rinse,
wring out and replace.
Debris stuck in compressor lead
valve. Disassemble and remove debris.
Compressor piston ring is worn. * Replace
Compressor bushing is worn. * Replace.
