HYDRAULIC TB BOOM
1. SAFETY ID: 28714
Follow always the safety instructions. Do your work carefully.
Never go under the boom if they are not securely braced.
Risk of personal injury or material damage: Incorrect connec-

tion in the hydraulic system of boom swing compensation sys-
tem can cause personal injury and damages to mechanical
components. Check and test hydraulic connections of the boom
swing compensation before using the rig.
Do not remove hydraulic hoses or valves before you are sure

that the system is not statically loaded. High-pressure hydraulic
oil can cause severe injury. Before removing any hydraulic
component or disassembling a cylinder, always ensure that the
component in question is not pressurised. This situation is pos-
sible even if the rig is stopped and the components are suppor-
ted so that static pressure is not generated. These components
include the overcentre and non-return valves in the boom rota-
tion mechanism, cylinders, and some valve blocks, hoses, and
pipes. The pressure can be released with, e.g., a bleeder screw,
if so equipped; otherwise, the component must be removed with
extreme caution when the oil temperature is sufficiently low. In
removing the component, it is recommended that the compo-
nent be covered with, e.g., a cloth in order to prevent the spray-
ing of high-pressure oil.
Do not touch pressurized hydraulic hoses. Theymay have un-

noticeable pin-holes to let out a thin oil spray which may pene-
trate through the skin.
The operator must acquaint himself with the instruction man-

uals provided by the manufacturer, and follow the instructions
therein. Plan your work in advance with the prevention of acci-
dents, damage, and injuries in mind. The operator must know
the performance characteristics of the rig.
Observe absolute cleanliness when disassembling or assem-

bling hydraulic equipments. Blow all parts clean with pressur-
ized air and wipe them with clean, non cluffy cloth before as-
sembling. This is to avoid operating disturbances caused by dirt
and air in the cylinders.
The BOOM MAY FALL UNCONTROLLED! This could cause se-

rious personal injury or death, if a person is located within the
danger area of the boom.

HYDRAULIC TB BOOM
The boom may fall uncontrolled, if the boom lift cylinder inner
seals are failed and simultaneously the Y-port hose is damaged
or loosened.
Automatic parallelism not working as intended may indicate the
cylinder seal failure. In the models not using hydraulic parallel-
ism system (full Data jumbos and Cabolt), the automatic paral-
lelism doesn’t indicate the possible seal failure and the cylinder
seals must be tested according to updated instructions (attach-
ed).
If any of booms function doesn’t work properly, there is a failure

in the system and working with this unit must be stopped im-
mediately. It is very important that the reason of the failure will
be investigated and properly repaired before continuing to
work.

5. CHECKING BOOM CLEARANCES ID: 24105
To check the clearances,move the boom into different positions and separately follow the movements at each
joint and sliding surface during the movements. Check especially the hydraulic cylinders and their mountings.
Replace worn bushings between cylinder pins and cylinder mounting brackets as necessary. A new bushing
is easier to install if the body and the cylinder bracket is warmed up with a blowtorch before installation.

2. Place a suitable stand(s) under the boom head/rollover/feed rail assy. Slowly lower the boom until
the head/rollover/feed rail weight is taken by the stand(s). Now the inner tube is no longer pressing
upwards against the rear top wear pieces or downwards against the front bottom wear pieces.
3. Remove the wiper flanges (17) and the wipers
(16) by removing the bolts (18).

5. No clearance should be left between the inner tube (14) and the slide pieces (19). The slide pieces
(19) should be tightened against the inner tube (14) with moderate torque by using adjusting screw
(20), after which the locking screw (21) must be screwed back into place.
6. Install the wiper (16) and the wiper flanges (17), and tighten the bolts.
7. Finally, check that the inner tube slides freely out from the outer tube and back in to verify the
complete extension movement.

5.2. Replacing the wipers ID: 28665
The wiper (16) prevent drill cuttings and soil from getting in between the boom’s inner and outer tube.
Damaged wiper can be replaced without removing the inner tube from the outer tube. In this case,
the new wiper must be cut at the bottom section, as shown, to make installation possible.
The wipers should also be replaced when new slide plates (24, 6) or slide pieces (19) are installed.

5.3. Checking the slide plates and slide pieces ID: 24322
Wear of the slide plates (24) and slide pieces (19) can be checked by measuring the distance (C)
between the inner (14) and the outer (13) tube. If the value of C is below 2 mm, the slide plates (24)
must be replaced. Or if the value of D (top/side) is more than 7 mm, the slide pieces (19) must be
replaced.

5.5. Checking the slide piece clearances (TB120- and TB150-booms) ID: 24110
The slide piece clearance checking procedure for the TB120 TB150 booms differs from that for other
TB booms. The distance between the inner and outer tube can bemeasured through measuring holes
in the boom, and the alignment can then be adjusted with screws.
Measuring holes (A1, A2, B1, and B2) are provided for checking that the inner tube is parallel with
the outer tube. This can be done with, for example, Vernier callipers. Remove the screw plugs from
the measuring points (A1, A2, B1, and B2) and perform the measurement. The values measured from
points A1 and B1 must be equal. This applies also to the values measured from the other side of the
boom from points A2 and B2. The measuring point (C) below the boom is provided for checking the
wear of the lower front slide piece, located between the outer and inner tube. Remove the screw plug
and measure the distance between the outer and inner tube. Allowable values: maximum of 19 mm
and minimum of 14 mm.

6. CRADLE TO FEED CLEARANCE ID: 24112
The feed beam is mounted to the cradle with wear pieces and moved with the feed extension cylinder.
Each slide piece is mounted to the cradle with bolts through the slide piece body. The bolts secure
the slide piece lengthwise. Securing in the crosswise direction is achieved by the form of the slide
pieces and the slide piece body.
The slide pieces must be changed, they are not adjustable. Correct clearances and positioning in
relation to the beam centre line is achieved with the aid of the mounting shoulders on the cradle.

7. BEARING BUSHINGS AND AXLE PINS ID: 24115
The boom joints and the hydraulic cylinder mounting brackets have bearing bushings and axle pins.
Each sliding surface between them is grease lubricated and provided with grease nipples for that
purpose.
7.1. Checking bearing bushings and axle pins ID: 644
Check the condition of bearing bushings and its axle pin in the boom joints or the hydraulic cylinder
eye. Any play between bearing bushings and axle pins is easy to notice by observing the excessive
free movement of the boom, or its component, and the hydraulic movement.
7.2. Replacing bearing bushings ID: 2800
Observe all safety matters before doing the replacement.
The bearing bushings in the hydraulic cylinder eye and in the body can be removed by driving it out
with a suitable punch.
When a new bushing is installed, the temperature difference between the bushing and the hydraulic
cylinder eye, or the hole in the frame, must be 40-50 °C.
When a bearing bushing is to be installed into an eye of a hydraulic cylinder, we recommend that the
bushing is cooled down to reach the required temperature difference. In this way, the danger of
damaging the hydraulic cylinder sealings with the open flame can be avoided.

9. CHECKING OF THE ANGLE RESTRICTION FUNCTION ID: 24117
The angle restriction function should be checked every 6 month

or if the hydraulic connections of the boom has been opened.
Use about two-meter length of sturdy pipe (or similar) for depressing the plunger (1).
1. Move the boom to a parallel and horizontal position to the rig.
2. Move the lift cylinder upwards and simultaneously push the knob (1) on the plunger valve (2) at
the point shown by the arrow. The boom should turn in the same direction as the knob is pressed.
3. Move the lift cylinder downwards and simultaneously push the knob (1) on the plunger valve (2)
at the point shown by the arrow. The boom should turn in the same direction as the knob is
pressed.
4. Repeat the same functions on the the plunger valve (2) situated on the other side of the boom.
5. Turn the boom to the right and simultaneously press the knob (1) on the right side. The boom
should turn to the left.
6. Turn the boom to the left and simultaneously press the knob (1) on the left side. The boom should
turn to the right.

10. TESTING THE LIFT/SWING CYLINDER SEALS ID: 24566
ID: 24574
A Seals
Faulty seals may cause the boom unexpected lowering in case
where the PUMP line hose is leaking, removed or broken. This
is possible because cylinder piston side chamber and PUMP
line will combine.
Before starting to test the seals, thoroughly read the hydraulic

boom safety instructions.
The BOOM MAY FALL UNCONTROLLED! This could cause se-

rious personal injury or death, if a person is located within the
danger area of the boom
The boom may fall uncontrolled, if the boom lift cylinder inner
seals are failed and simultaneously the Y-port hose is damaged
or loosened.
Automatic parallelism not working as intended may indicate the
cylinder seal failure. In the models not using hydraulic parallel-
ism system, the automatic parallelism doesn’t indicate the pos-
sible seal failure and the cylinder seals must be tested accord-
ing to updated instructions (attached).

ID: 271 1 en 2009-01-29
HYDRAULIC TB BOOM
If any of booms function doesn’t work properly, there is a failure

in the system and working with this unit must be stopped im-
mediately. It is very important that the reason of the failure will
be investigated and properly repaired before continuing to
work.
The third chamber seals must be tested every 1000 percussion

hours or every 12 months. When the seals have failed, cylinder
must be properly repaired before continuing work.
10.1. Testing the boom lift cylinder seals ID: 24563
1. Drive the boom to the horizontal position and brace it securely.

2. Carefully and slowly undo the hose from Y-port of the boom lift cylinder and plug the hydraulic
hose end with a steel cap.
3. Carefully and slowly undo the hose hose from B-port of the boom lift cylinder and plug the hydraulic
hose end and the B-port of the cylinder with a steel cap.
4. With powerpack or diesel engine running, carefully apply pressure to the boom lift cylinder A-port
(boom lift) and observe if any oil continues to come out from the cylinder Y-port.
Be careful of the oil spray from the cylinder Y-port!
Don’t place your body parts in the cylinder Y-port area!
Feed tilt will possibly operate when applying pressure to boom
lift!
5. If oil is coming out, it means that the inner piston seals are leaking. This cylinder must be
overhauled or replaced immediately before continuing to work.
10.2. Testing the boom swing cylinder seals ID: 24564
1. Drive the boom to the vertical position and brace it securely.

2. Carefully and slowly undo the hose from Y-port of the boom swing cylinder and and plug the
hydraulic hose end with a steel cap.
3. Carefully and slowly undo the hose from B-port of the boom swing cylinder and plug the hydraulic
hose end and the B-port of the cylinder with a steel cap.
4. With powerpack or diesel engine running, carefully apply pressure to the boom swing cylinder A-
port (boom swing) and observe if any oil continues to come out from the cylinder Y-port.
Be careful of the oil spray from the cylinder Y-port!
Don’t place your body parts in the cylinder Y-port area!
Feed swing will possibly operate when applying pressure to
boom swing!
5. If oil is coming out, it means that the inner piston seals are leaking. This cylinder must be
overhauled or replaced immediately before continuing to work.

11.1. Operating principle of the rotary actuator ID: 24127
The axial movement of the piston (7) is translated into a rotary movement through the set of left-hand
helical gears G2. This rotary movement is transferred onto the second set of gears G1 with a right-
hand pitch therefore causing a further rotary movement straight onto the gear shaft (12). The sum of
the two rotary movements equals the total rotation of the gear shaft (12). Positive lubrication and
nitriding of gear surfaces ensure a long service life.
11.2. Mounting ID: 24129
Remove paint or other foreign particles from the joint flange surfaces. Make sure that the hydraulic lines are
clean before connection.
11.3. Taking into use ID: 24130
After reaching the operation temperature, check all the connections and screw joints etc.
11.4. Bleeding ID: 24132
When opening the bleeding screw or lowering valve when the

rotary actuator is mounted on the boom, prevent the rotary ac-
tuator from rotating freely and beware of spraying oil in order
to prevent accidents.
NOTE! Bleed the system if the unit has been opened.
1. Bleed the hoses (connect the hose A1 to the hose B1 and circulate the oil).
2. Place the rotary actuator on the floor so that the lowering valves are upwards. Connect the hoses
to the rotary actuator.
3. Run the motor from one extreme position to the other and stop it in themid position.
4. Open one of the bleeding screws (in the cylinder chamber) and close the screw when no air or
oil with air bubbles comes out.
5. Repeat the procedure with the other bleeding screw.
6. Repeat the run and stop procedure (step 3) and bleed procedure (steps 4 and 5) until no air or
oil with air bubbles comes from the bleeding screws.
7. Then, check the operation of the machinery by rotating it from one extreme position to the other
two times. This completes the bleeding procedure.
8. Mount the rotary actuator on the boom and ensure that no air enters into the rotary actuator during
the following stages.
9. Do not open the screw chamber bleeding screw during bleeding.

11.5. Disassembly of rotary actuator ID: 24133
The rotary actuator should only be dismantled and reassembled by persons who have been trained
how to do this or by experts.
A complete change of spare parts can only be carried out after the rotary actuator has been removed
from the part to which it is connected.
Attention must be paid to absolute cleanliness at all times when dismantling and reassembling the
rotary actuator and also when changing seals. the seals should be removed only with appropriate
tools (seal lifters) whereby care must be taken that the sealing surfaces are not damaged.
1. Remove the bottom (2) by loosen the hexagon socket head cap screws (80).
2. The piston (7) can be separated from the housing (1) by turning it anti-clockwise. If this proves
difficult, use a pressing-off device.
After the rotary actuator has been thoroughly cleaned, all seals can be changed easily. polish the
running and sealing surfaces. if the rod seal (55), the wiper ring (57) or the guide tape (56) must
be changed (only by leakage!) the following procedure is necessary:
3. Remove the outer gear ring (19), from the housing (1) with help of the three threads. Before
removing make a mark on the outer gear ring (10) and on the housing (1) in order to be able to
get the gear ring in appromaximately the same position at reassembly.
4. Slack the hexagon socket head cap screws (81). Remove the clamp washer (21) with help of the
threads. Here also make a mark to find the same position at reassembly.
5. Screw out the lock nut (20).
6. Remove the gear shaft (7).
The rotary actuator has now been fully dismantled.
11.6. Assembly of rotary actuator ID: 24134
Polish the running and sealing surface if necessary. After the rotary actuator has been thoroughly
cleaned, all the seals can be changed. The seals must be assembled very careful to avoid early
damages. by assembly the seals and the guiding tapes must be greased with an acid-free grease.
By assembly of the piston seal (50) should be this one slowly expanded and fitted with an assembly
tool (expanding jacket and expanding mandrel).
The use of a burnishing shell is recommended when the assembly of a piston is made difficult by an
overstretched ring.
1. Insert the sliding thrust washer (25) with the pins (24) and the gear shaft (12) in the housing (1).
2. Put in the cylindrical thrust roller bearing (70).
3. Tighten the lock nut (20) until the gear shaft (12) is not moveable, then turn back the lock nut (25)
and move the gear shaft (12) to displace the grease on the sliding thrust washer (25). Tighten the
lock nut (20) again until the gear shaft (12) has an axial back lash ( ca. 2/100 mm to 5/100 mm).
4. Positioning the clamp washer (21) (note the correct position). Tighten up the hexagon socket head
cap screws (81) with new spring washers (82) crosswise to an initial torque of 38 Nm using a
torque spanner. Then repeat the tightening up process, tightening up this time a final torque of
115 Nm.
5. Put in the outer gear ring (19) (note correct position).
6. Insert the piston (7) in the gear shaft (12) and the outer gear ring (19). Care must be taken in
course of this that the teeth engage in the tooth spaces with punch marks.
7. Put the bottom (2) carefully. Tighten up the cylinder screws (80) crosswise to initial torque of 105
Nm using a torque spanner. Then repeat the tightening up process, tightening up this time to a
final torque of 315 Nm.
8. Fill the chamber with grease by the grease nipple (96).

14. BOOM LIFT AND SWING CYLINDERS ID: 24162
The boom lift and swing cylinders are triple chamber cylinders. The cylinders have chambers A and
B, and a third chamber inside the hollow piston rod. When, for instance, the lift cylinder length
changes, the volume of the third chamber changes, and the cylinder gives or takes oil from the tilt
cylinder, acting in this way as an essential part of the automatic parallelism system.
The connector Y of the hollow rod chamber, or the PUM Pline may never be plugged when the cylinder
is in use as the oil in the third chamber is not connected with the chambers A and B of the triple
chamber cylinder.
14.1. Boom lift and swing cylinder repair ID: 24163
Before opening the piston, heat up the piston thread area (X) to
approx. 150-200 °C.When reassembling the piston, use Loctite
271 or similar on the thread area.
X C
ID: 24584
If you have repaired the cylinder or about to change the hy-

draulic oils, you have to be sure that no air is left inside the third
chamber,when filling it up with new hydraulic oil (Dieseling dan-
ger). The right method for filling is as follows:
1. Place the cylinder in a vertical position, cylinder rod straight up.

2. Open the bleed plug (C).
3. Connect the hydraulic oil filling hose to Y-plug.
4. Fill the inner cylinder slowly with the hydraulic oil as long as the oil is coming out from the bleed
plug (C).
5. Close the bleed plug (C).
6. Place the cylinder in a horizontal position (hose connections upwards), so that any oil is coming
out from the cylinder and remove the oil filling hose.

15. TROUBLESHOOTING ID: 24164
If any of the boom functions are not working as intended, it means there has been a failure in the
system. Even if the failure appears to be only minor and allows quite normal unit operation, there is
a possibility of consequential damages in other areas. It is very important that the reason for the failure
is investigated immediately and repaired according to instructions given in maintenance and service
manuals, before continuing to work.
15.1. All hydraulic functions slowly or not working at all ID: 24165
1. Hydraulic oil level too low, or oil viscosity too high.

• Check oil level. See oil recommendations for correct viscosity.
2. Hydraulic circuit leaking.
• Check hoses and connections.
3. The pressure relief valve at the control valve functioning incorrectly and the required 210 bar
working pressure is not reached.
• To measure the pressure, use a T-fitting to connect a pressure gauge (max. 250 bar) to the
line between the control valve and the hydraulic pump. Disturbances in the pressure relief valve
are normally caused by impurities. Dirt may block the cartridge valve. To remedy the condition,
remove the cartridge valve and replace its O-rings. Before reinstalling the cartridge, clean it
thoroughly using pressurized air. If the fault is not removed, the likely reason is that the valve
cartridge is worn; replace the cartridge.
4. Oil pump not working properly.
• Check the pump by connecting the output line of the pump to another boom. If that boom is
not working properly either, it is likely that the pump is damaged. A flow meter can also be used
for checking the pump’s output. If the booms have separate oil tanks, remember that when
booms are cross-connected the oil level in one tank drops and increases in the other.
5. Intake of pump blocked.
• Drain and clean the tank. Check the hose.
6. Shuttle valve between carrier and boom hydraulics leaking.
• Check the shuttle valve and replace it if necessary.
15.2. Feed moves backwards during drilling ID: 24166
1. Leaking non-return valve between feed transfer cylinder and control valve.
• Clean the valve and replace damaged or worn parts.
2. Piston seals of feed transfer cylinder leaking, or other external leak.
• Replace the piston seals.

ID: 271 1 en 2009-01-29
HYDRAULIC TB BOOM
15.3. Automatic parallelism not working properly ID: 24167
1. Faulty seals in the triple chamber of the boom swing or lift cylinder. First indication of seal failure
is the loss of parallel holding in lift or swing movement.
• To pinpoint the faulty seals, test the seals according to the chapter "Testing the lift/swing
cylinder seals" .
2. Faulty O--ring or worn valve seat causing leakage in the pressure relief or overcenter valve of one
of the valve blocks of parallelism automatics.
• To pinpoint the leakage, one by one disconnect the hoses between the valve block and the
control valve to determine and locate the malfunction. Replace any damaged and worn parts.
3. Air trapped in pump cylinder
• See bleeding instructions on chapter "Flushing and bleeding the boom hydraulic circuit" .
15.4. Feed extension movement unsteady ID: 24168
1. Air trapped in extension cylinder.

• See bleeding instructions on chapter "Flushing and bleeding the boom hydraulic circuit" .
2. Feed cradle slide pieces too tight or worn.
• Replace worn slide pieces.
15.5. Boom rotation mechanism not working ID: 24169
1. External leaks.
• Check hose connections.
2. Rotation cylinder seals damaged.
• Install new sealing. Repair the rotation mechanism according to the instructions in Chapter
"Rotary actuator" .
3. Dirt or broken O--rings and seals in overcenter valves.
• Replace damaged parts and clean the valves.
15.6. Boom creeping ID: 24170
1. Leaking overcenter valve of boom swing or lift cylinder.Broken O-ring or worn seat surfaces.
• Replace damaged or worn parts.
2. Dirt in hydraulic circuit.
• Flush the hydraulic circuit according to the instructions in Chapter "Flushing and bleeding the
boom hydraulic circuit" .
3. Air trapped in cylinder.
• Bleed the cylinders according to the instructions in Chapter "Flushing and bleeding the boom
hydraulic circuit" .
4. Faulty seals in the triple chamber of the boom lift cylinder and PUMP line hose leaking, removed
or broken.
• Is parallelism working as intended?
• Check the PUMP line hose condition, replace if needed.
• Test the seals according to the instructions in Chapter "Testing the lift/swing cylinder seals" .

16.1. Lifting movement ID: 24174
ID: 24704

ID: 271 1 en 2009-01-29
HYDRAULIC TB BOOM
When the boom is lifted, oil flows via block 1(; A9-A) to chamber A of the boom lifting cylinder. Oil
flows along line G-G and through valve X1, and continues along line E1-A to chamber A of the tilt
cylinder.
Block (1) has a pressure regulator (100 bar) that restricts the pressure to chamber A of tilt cylinder.
This is to prevent the pressure relief valve (300 bar) of the tilt cylinder from opening.
The pressure regulator in block (1) restricts the pressure (6 bar) to block (2) so that the pressure in
line T does not rise higher than allowed.
Oil flows out of the piston rod side of the lift cylinder along line B-B and through block (1) into the tank.
From chamber B of the tilt cylinder, oil flows along the PUMP line (B-F1 and H-Y) to the third chamber
of the lift cylinder. The tilt cylinder extends in direct proportion to the extending of the lift cylinder,
which is a part of the automatic parallelism system.

16.2. Lowering movement ID: 24175
ID: 24705

ID: 271 1 en 2009-01-29
HYDRAULIC TB BOOM
When the boom is lowered, oil flows via block 1(; B9-B) to the piston rod side of the lift cylinder. From
chamber A of the lift cylinder oil flows through block 1(; A-A9) to the tank. When the boom is lowered,
the volume of the third chamber of lift cylinder is reduced. In this situation, oil flows out of the chamber
along line Y-H, through block (2) and into chamber B of tilt cylinder. Tilt cylinder length is reduced in
direct proportion to the shortening of lift cylinder length, which is a part of the automatic parallelism
system. From chamber A of tilt cylinder oil flows along line A-E1-T1-T2-T4 to the tank.
16.3. Operation of block (2) valves ID: 24188
The overcenter valve X1 makes the phasing of lift and tilt cylinders more accurate during lowering.
When the boom is turned the valve X2 makes the phasing of boom and feed swing cylinders more
accurate.
The overcenter valves S1, S2, S3 and S4 make it possible to use tilt and boom head swing inde-
pendently.
The pressure--controlled non--return valves make it possible to use the zoom cylinder.
If the PUMP LINE (B-Y or H-Y) is not receiving oil from the tilt or the boom head swing cylinder, the
valves AA and AB open and oil flows in from tank line T.
When the boom is turned, the valves Y1 and Y2 let oil flow unrestricted to the boom swing cylinder
until the boom reaches its max. swing angle 45° (TB 40=40°). Then the valves receive control from
the swing angle restrictor valves (3 or 4).
When, for instance, turning the boom 45° to the swing cylinder side (oil flowing to chamber B of swing
cylinder) the valve receives control and Y1 changes its status and lets oil flow to chamber A of the
swing cylinder.

16.4. Angle restriction function ID: 24190
ID: 24706

ID: 271 1 en 2009-01-29
HYDRAULIC TB BOOM
The boom swing arm is provided with 1+1 angle restrictor valves (3 and 4) that react when the boom
swing angle exceeds 45° (TB 40=40°) and turn the boom back. The correction of swing angle is
carried out by changing the length of boom swing cylinder. The angle restrictor valves react always
when the angle exceeds the allowed limit, and if boom lift or swing is used, or both are used simul-
taneously.
Example: When the boom is turned to the swing cylinder side, the angle restrictor valve (3) reacts
and oil starts flowing from the angle restrictor valve to the valve Y1 in block (2), and through there to
chamber A of the swing cylinder causing the boom to turn. When activated, the angle restrictor valve
gives a control signal through the flow control valve (5) to line X2 of block (2), where the 3/2 directional
valve changes its status and closes the line (A8) coming from the boom valve. At the same time, it
opens the line L-L to the tank, allowing the oil in chamber B of the swing cylinder to flow unrestricted
to the tank as long as the angle restrictor valve (3) is activated.
The control circuit operates similarly when the boom is swung to the other side.
For the angle restriction circuit to operate, the angle restrictor valves (3 and 4) always need pressure
in line P, when the boom is lifted or swung, or both movements are run simultaneously. This is why
block (1) has three shuttle valves that allow pressure to enter the angle restrictor valve line P.
Due to the mechanical properties of the boom, it swings as it is lifted. In the horizontal position the
boom does not turn more than 45° and, thus, the angle restrictor valves are not activated even when
the boom is swung to the extreme position.

3. Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M1 of the feed and percussion control block.
4. Start the carrier engine (diesel).
5. Run the zoom cylinder inwards with the engine speed at 1800 rpm, and adjust, at the same time,
the boom circuit max. LS pressure to 210 bar by turning the adjusting screw of the LS-pressure
pressure relief valve clockwise. Read the pressure in the pressure gauge installed to the
measuring point M1 of the percussion control block.
6. Stop the diesel engine and lock the adjusting screw of the LS-pressure pressure relief valve.
7. Remove the pressure gauge from the measuring point M1 of the feed and percussion block.
Check if the carrier’s hydraulic circuit has a pressure relief valve

that restricts the adjustment of the valve. If such a valve exists,
adjust it beforehand to an approx. 10 bar higher value than the
pressure setting for the boom circuit max. LS-pressure pres-
sure relief valve. Remember to return the carrier’s pressure re-
lief valve to its original setting after the adjustment.

17.2.3. Adjusting max. speed of boom movements ID: 24196
All boom valve spools are equipped with specific

restrictors. These restrictors can be used for in-
dividually adjusting the speed of each movement.
The adjustment of movement speeds should be
done with the hydraulic oil in normal drilling tem-
perature (40-50 °C).
ID: 24721
17.2.4. Boom movement not working ID: 24197
If a boom movement is not working, it is likely that the shuttle valve of the load sensing line for the
corresponding control block is sticking or the functional unit is faulty. Check the condition of the shuttle
valve as follows:
• Install a pressure gauge to the measuring point M7 of the feed and percussion control block.
• Start the powerpack.
• Move the control lever of the boom movement that is not working.
• If themeasuring pointM7does not receive pressure, it is likely that the load sensing line shuttle valve
of the movement is sticking.
• Stop the powerpack.
• Remove the boom valve at the top of the control panel.
• Disassemble the boom valve and check the shuttle valves of all working blocks.
• Reassemble the boom valve after cleaning and inspecting it, and mount it back.
• If the measuring point M7 receives pressure, it is likely that the functional device of the boom is
faulty.
• Refer to the maintenance instructions for the boom.

HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS
1. GENERAL
1.1. Structure
The main structural differences between hydraulic cylinders are:
D single and double acting
D cylinder bore
D stroke
D overcenter valve equipment
Stroke can be limited with a spacer mounted either to the piston side or the piston rod side.
Correct type of spacer is given in the spare parts list.
2. SAFETY
Acquaint yourself with the service and user instructions before starting
to work on a cylinder. Learn to know all the components that you will be
working on.
CAUTION
Follow the installation instructions issued by Sandvik
CAUTION
Installation, adjustment and repair work can only be carried out by a

person who has the necessary qualifications and knows the equipment.
CAUTION
Proper use and service guarantee longer life of the hydraulic cylinder.
CAUTION
Use all necessary safety devices and check their condition.
CAUTION
Before starting the rig, make sure that nobody is working close to, or
under the rig
WARNING
Never disconnect any hydraulic hoses or valves before making sure that
there is no static load in the system.
WARNING

HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS
3. OVERCENTER VALVE
3.1. Operation
Most hydraulic cylinders are equipped with an overcenter valve. They are either built--in
or connected to the hydraulic circuit via hydraulic hoses.
Overcenter valves are one--piece components and they cannot be readjusted. Sets of
seal rings (1) are provided. The four tasks of an overcenter valve are:
-- If a hose connected to the hydraulic cylinder breaks, the overcenter valve acts as
a safety valve.
-- During drilling, the overcenter valve prevents oil flow from the cylinder to the oil
tank. The boom maintains accurately the position to which it was moved to by using
the boom control valves.
-- When the boom is moved, the overcenter valve does not allow oil to flow from the
return side until the pressure on the pressured side rises high enough. Boom
movements are smoother and more accurate, and the boom’s own weight cannot
accelerate the speed movement.
-- If an external force raises the pressure in the cylinder higher than the set value of
the overcenter valve, the valve opens and lets oil out of the cylinder. This enables
the boom to yield under external force, and mechanical damage to the boom can
be avoided.
The set value of the overcenter valves for different purposes are
different. Therefore, you must not replace an overcenter valve with one
from a other cylinder. The set value of the valve is punched on the top of
CAUTION the valve.

5. DISMANTLING
Before starting to remove the cylinder, make sure that the boom is properly supported, and
all static loads of the cylinder are removed. Disconnect the hydraulic hoses to the cylinder
and plug the open hose ends and cylinder adapters.
Remove the locking rings of the cylinder pins, support and secure the cylinder so that it
cannot fall down. Tap the pins out.
Wash the cylinder externally and mount securely before starting to dismantle it.
5.1. Cylinder
If you can use hydraulic pressure, connect the hoses to the cylinder and run the piston
rod (8) out, remove the overcenter valves (4). Unscrew the socket screws off of the cover
(2) or, if the cover is thread mounted, open the cover with a suitable tool. Screw the
overcenter valves (4) back, and run the piston rod (8) and the cylinder cover (2) out. When
pressing out, support the piston rod (8) properly to get it out smoothly.
Be aware of oil spilling
WARNING
5.2. Piston
Mount the piston rod firmly from the eye end, and tap out the locking washer lug from the
groove of the nut, and remove the nut (7). Remove the piston (3) together with the seals.
Pull the cylinder cover (2) off the piston rod and remove the cylinder cover seals and the
wiper and replace them. Unscrew the overcenter valves (4) from the cylinder tube and
visually check their condition. Wash all components.
5.3. Inspection
Replace all seals and wipers. Check all sliding surfaces. If scratches, big enough to feel
with a fingernail are found, the components should be replaced because the sealing ability
of the surfaces is no longer good. Also check the piston rod for straightness. If the rod is
distorted, check that it is not caused by a incorrect spacer. Check the condition of the
bearing bushings (10), and replace them if there are any marks of wear.
5.4. Replacing of bearings bushing

If the cylinder already has been removed from the rig, support the cylinder well and tap
the old bearing bushings out using a suitable drift and a copper hammer.
The new bearing bushings are easier to install if they are cooled in a freezer, and the
cylinder eye is warmed up with a torch.

6. ASSEMBLING
If the stroke of the cylinder is limited with a spacer and it is left out, the
cylinder can be damaged in use. Check that you install the correct type
spacer.
CAUTION
6.1. Assembling of cylinder
2
Grease the seal grooves and install the
9 O--rings, the lip seal and the guide rings on
the cylinder cover (2). Install the cover of
the piston rod (8). If a spacer (9) is used to
limit the maximum stroke of the cylinder,
install the bushing on the piston rod before
8 installing the piston.
Grease the seal grooves and install the

11 piston seal (10). When installing the
6
piston’s O--ring (11), be careful not to
7 damage it in the piston rod thread. Install
the locking plate (6) and the locking nut (7).
Tighten the nut and lock it in a place by
turning a tang of the locking plate into its
10 groove.

HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS
Check if the minimum stroke of the cylinder is limited. If it is, the spacer must be inserted
into the cylinder first. Push the piston assembly into the cylinder. Remember to lubricate
the seals before assembling!
Push the cylinder cover (2) in and insert the socket screws (1) through the cover and
tighten them. If the cylinder cover is thread--mounted, use a special tool for tightening.
Install the overcenter valves (4) and the adapters, and test the cylinder.

Testing of cylinder
7.1. Line A, inspection

Run the piston rod completely out. Disconnect line A, and pressurize line B. Check line
A for leaking oil. If oil leaks out, one of the seals (10, 11 or 12) or overcenter valve is faulty.
7.2. Line B, inspection

Run the piston rod completely in. Disconnect line B, and pressurize line A. Check line B
for leaking. If oil leaks out, one of the seals (10, 11 or 12) or the overcenter valve is faulty.
If oil comes out from between the cylinder cover and the cylinder tube, the cylinder cover
O--ring (13) is faulty. If oil comes out from between the cylinder cover and the piston rod,
the cylinder cover O--ring (14) is faulty.
