CHAIN FEED CF 145 H + RH 714

Maintenance instruction

1. GENERAL
The chain feed CF 145 H + RH 714 is designed for use with track--carrier rigs of 700 series.
The feed is equipped with a Pito retainer.
The CF 145 H + RH 714 feeds are normally equipped with the HL 700 series rock drills.

2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Always follow safety instructions and be careful with your work.

Maintenance, adjustments or repairs are only allowed to persons with

specific training to service the rig. Read the instructions before
servicing, adjusting or repairing the rig.
ATTENTION

Pressurized hydraulic hoses must not be touched by hand. The hoses

may have unnoticeable hairline cracks that let out high-- pressure oil
sprays that may penetrate the skin.
WARNING

Beware of moving machine parts. Do the service and repair work only
with the rig stopped. Make also sure that the rig cannot be accidentally
started during maintenance or repair work.
WARNING

Do not go under an unsupported rig. Do not disconnect hydraulic hoses

or valves unless you are certain that the system has no static load.
Remove all static loads always before starting repair work by a
WARNING mechanical support or by driving a cylinder to its extreme position.
OBSERVE ABSOLUTE CLEANNESS WHEN DISMANTLING AND
REASSEMBLING HYDRAULIC EQUIPMENT. Whenever a cylinder has
been removed, the hydraulic circuit must be vented and flushed. This is
ATTENTION
to prevent dirt and air in the cylinder from causing functional
disturbances.

3. STRUCTURAL DESCRIPTION

The feed movement is transferred to the rock drill through the carriage. Changes in the
force affecting the chain are counteracted by a shock absorber mounted between the
carriage and the chain when the drill carriage is run with fast feed against the rear stopper.
This arrangement increases the operational life and reliability of the chain. When required,
the chain tension is easily adjustable with a single adjusting screw.
The beam profile allows the sliding clearances between the carrier and the rail to be
adjusted with shims. This adjustment has to be be done when regularly.
The required adjustments are done by loosening the bolts of the carriage and removing
or adding shims under the wear pieces.
The drill rod is supported by a hydraulically operated Pito 12 H retainer. When the whole
length of a rod has been drilled in, the extension sleeve of the rod is gripped with the Pito
retainer while a new extension rod is added. During drilling, the retainer operates as a
fixed retainer, guiding the drill rod.
The feed chain drive is by a hydraulic motor via a two--stage reduction gear.

6. FEED CHAIN TIGHTENING

Checking chain tightness

Run the rock drill up (not against the
stopper). Do not pull the drill bit through the
suction head sealing rubber. The chain
must not be under strain.
Push the chain sideways. The chain
tightness is correct if the chain just touches
the inside of the feed beam. Otherwise the
chain tension must be adjusted according
to the instructions below.

1
The feed chain is tightened by moving the
rear chain wheel (3). The chain wheel axle
2 is moved by turning the screw (1) mounted
through the end plate.
Tightening the chain
Loosen the locking nuts (2 and 4). Turn the
adjusting screw (1) clockwise to reach
4 3 correct chain tightness. Do not overtighten!
Tighten the locking nuts (2 and 4).

CHAIN FEED CF 145 H + RH 714

Maintenance instruction

Make the adjustment with the feed beam in horizontal position and the rock drill carriage
run to the rear end of the beam; this way the clearances are the smallest. After the
adjustment make sure that the carriage moves freely on the beam.
The clearance between the feed rail and drill carriage/hose reel is adjusted by adding or
removing the shims (1, 2). By removing shims the clearance is decreased; by adding
shims it increases. The optimum clearance is about 0,5 to 1,0 mm. Tightening torque for
the bolts (3) is 260 Nm.
When urethane coating of the upper slide piece (4) has been worn to half (approx. 4 mm)
an extra shim (5) has to be added between the slide piece and carriage. Otherwise the
drilling centre moves out of alignment as the drill carriage moves lower i.e. nearer the feed
rail. In that case the centralizer and drill shank are not in alignment; this will cause
problems with drilling tools.
One shim is needed for each upper slide piece (two pieces for carriage and four pieces
for hose reel). When replacing the slide pieces the shim is removed and stored until
needed again.
The slide pieces have to be replaced when urethane coating is nearly worn out. It is
important that they are changed in time; uncoated piece wears out the feed rail quickly.
Too small clearances strain the feed chain and wear down the beam
unnecessarily, whereas too large clearances make drilling more difficult
and cause strains, for instance, on the rock drill shank. The clearance
CAUTION
should be maintained equal under each wear piece.

8. HOSE GUIDE MOVEMENT TIMING

The purpose of the hose guide is to keep the hoses in order and properly tightened
throughout the feed travel. Correctly adjusted timing keeps the distances a1 and a2 equal
throughout the feed forward and reverse movements.

8.1. Effects of incorrect timing

Incorrectly adjusted hose guide timing may cause two situations that result in
unnecessary strain on the equipment.
1. The hose guide reaches its stopper too early at the end of the return movement
(distance a1 smaller than a2). As the rock drill continues moving, the hose guide
drive mechanism and spring will be subjected to unnecessary strains and may
even break down.
2. The rock drill catches up with the hose guide during the return movement (distance
a2 smaller than a1). The speed of the rock drill is twice the speed of the hose guide
and, therefore, the carriage will force the hose guide ahead. The chain and the
hose guide drive mechanism will be subjected to unnecessary strains.

Incorrect hose guide timing always increases the danger of equipment

failure.
CAUTION

Never use incorrect hose guide timing for any purpose.

8.2. Timing adjustment

When timing is correctly adjusted, the distances a1 and a2 should always be equal. The
best position to check the distances is when the rock drill carriage is approx. at the middle
of the feed beam. If the distances are not equal, adjust them as follows:
-- If the feed chain is normally tightened, loosen it a little.
-- Remove the slide piece (1) above the hose guide drive wheel and the adjusting
plates (2) from between the slide piece and the hose guide body.

1. Slide piece
2. Adjusting plates
-- Move the hose guide so that the distances a1 and a2 become equal; guide the feed
chain over the hose guide chain wheel.
-- Install the slide piece and place adjusting shims underneath it to make the
clearance between the chain wheel and the slide piece to a minimum value of 2
to 4 mm.
-- Tighten the feed chain to normal tightness
-- Recheck the distances a1 and a2.
-- Test run the the feed movement and check that:
-- the hose guide reaches the rear stopper at the same moment when the
rock drill carriage catches up with the hose guide. Thus the distances a1
and a2 should close simultaneously.
-- the hose guide shock absorber is at rest when the movement has
stopped.
Remember to lock the feed chain adjustments.

CAUTION

Install the slide piece above the hose guide drive wheel before.

CAUTION

It is possible that the chain pitch does not allow exactly equal distances
a1 and a2. In such cases, the maximum allowable difference between a1
and a2 is approx. 15 mm. Always adjust timing to give the smallest
CAUTION
possible difference.

9. REPLACING FEED CHAIN

-- Position the feed horizontal to prevent the rock drill carriage from sliding by itself
when the chain has been disconnected.
-- Run the rock drill to approx. one metre from the rear stopper.
-- Loosen the feed chain. Several threads should, however, be left in mesh between
the adjusting bolt and its connecting piece.
-- Disconnect the rock drill hoses. Plug them and mark their positions.
-- Remove the bolts that fasten the rock drill to the carriage, and lift the rock drill away
onto a bench. Use proper hoist and lifting straps.
-- Disconnect both ends of the chain, and connect the new chain to the end of the old
one on the front side of the rock drill carriage. Use a separate chain link for
connecting the chains. Improvised connections may cause problems in the next
step.
-- Run the combined chains through the feed mechanism while guiding the chain
ends. Stop at a point where the ends of the new chain are at the shock absorber
ears. Remove the chain link between the chains, and connect the new chain.
-- Adjust the chain to correct tightness.

Guide both ends of the chain as necessary. Be careful not to leave your
hands in a pinch.

WARNING

Use new connecting pins with the new chain.

-- Install the snap ring (20) and drive the drive shaft back until the snap ring is against
the inner race of the bearing. In this position, the drive shaft chain wheel is in line
with the other chain wheels.
-- Reassemble the shafts in reversed disassembly order.
-- Install the cover (2) using sealing compound (41) on the mating surfaces of the
cover and the housing.
-- Use chemical thread locking compound on all bolt fastenings.
-- Mount the feed motor (28). Use sealing compound and thread locking compound.
-- Install the idling chain wheels (7) (note the wedges 32) and lubricate their axles (9)
through the grease nipples (27).
-- Fill the gearbox with 2,4 litre of transmission oil through the cover (13) (half way
up the drive shaft (6) when the feed is in vertical position). Use SAE 80W/90 API
GL5 or SAE 75W/90 API GL5 transmission oil depending on the ambient
temperature, Cf. oil recommendations. Close the cover (13).
-- Thread the feed chain through the reduction gear and mount the mechanism to the
beam. If necessary, use the opening under the cover (10) to help the chain
forwards.
-- Install the cover (10).
-- Connect the chain to the rock drill carriage and adjust the feed chain to correct
tightness.
-- Connect the feed motor hoses.
-- Test run the feed cautiously.

If the repair was made because of a broken sealing ring (19), check
always the feed motor axle seal also. A leaking axle seal of the feed motor
causes pressure in the gear housing and can, thus, damage the
CAUTION
reduction gear sealing ring.

As the feed chain is disconnected for the work, check also the
connecting pins between the chain and the carriage, and replace them if
necessary.
