The following steps outline solutions for common problems encountered with rock drills. 1. Check side rod nuts to ensure they are tight on the tool. 2. Flush cleaning solvent through the tool and then refill immediately with air tool oil or 10W equivalent. 3. Disassemble and inspect ratchet pawls.
[pdf] Displacement (m³/min): It refers to the volume of air discharged by the compressor per unit of time, also known as flow rate or volumetric flow rate. Discharge pressure (MPa): It indicates the pressure of the air at the compressor’s outlet, usually measured in megapascals (MPa).
[pdf] If the capacity of the air compressor is really too low, check the following: Check differential pressure over oil separator. Replace separator when necessary. Check and replace compressed air filters (if installed). Compressor does not unload. Check if pressure switch is correctly set and working.
