The following general safety rules must also be
observed:
Make sure that all warning signs on the rig 3
remain in place and are free from dirt and easy to
read. 2
Make sure there are no personnel inside the
working area of the drill rig during drilling, or when
moving the rig.
Always wear a helmet , protective goggles and
ear protectors during drilling. Also observe any lo-
cal regulations.

Hint:
To remove a COPROD section from the tube carrousel:
— swing the section from the carrousel to the drill
centre on the feed beam.
— connect the tube driver and run the section down
through the lower guide in the break-out table.
— lower the feed beam to the horizontal position.
— swing the gripper arm away from the feed.

and the tube with the aid of the break-out table before
removing the section from the feed beam.
Before the rock drill is removed for service, the tube

Dismantling the tube driver
Remove the nuts and bolts that clamp the coupling

Lubrication
Correct Wrong Wrong
The rotational torque from the rock drill is transmitted to
the drill bit via the bit driver 14, which therefore requires
continuous lubrication. Lubrication is by means of an
oil/air mixture supplied by the pump of the lubrication
system on the drill rig. The oil is pumped directly into
the flushing air at the recommended rate of 30–50
drops per minute.
The oil/air mixture passes between the rods and the
tubes, through the grooves in the guides and stop
ring and down to the splines on the bit driver and
drill bit. Adjust the RHS (rod grippers) stop bolts (upper and
