1. Introduction

Interval

Division
The maintenance intervals for various rig components are based on
percussion hours and diesel engine hours.

Percussion hours
Percussion hours apply to components that are primarily in opera-
tion during drilling, e.g. rock drill, feeder and compressor.

Percussion hours can be read from the screen menu Statistics.

For information on the rock drill's maintenance intervals, see the

separate documentation for the rock drill in question.

Diesel engine hours

Diesel engine hours apply to components that are primarily in
operation when the rig is moved, e.g. diesel engine, transmission
and brake system.

Diesel engine hours can be read on the control panel from the hour
counter.

Lubricant
For information on recommended lubricants, see maintenance
instructions Lubricants, coolants and propellants.

Tightening torques
The tightening torques specified in the Atlas Copco standard apply
to most bolted joints. See maintenance instructions General. For
bolted joints requiring special tightening torques, these torques are
specified in the maintenance instructions for the component in
question.
