Fill the oil reservoir with proper oil (Air Tool oil or 10W grade equivalent for 9 lb.and 15 lb.class and Rock Drill oil for the 38 lb.and 60 lb.class.) Check all nuts and bolts to ensure they are tight on the tool. Make sure retainer locks in place. Replace retainer and or springs if worn.
[pdf] A Pile Top RCD fitted with a 2-metre diameter drill bit is estimated to be capable of “mining” about 7 tonnes of Ore per hour. The Pile Top RCD is capable of drilling holes with inclinations from 90 o (vertical) to 72 o. The working deck has variable geometry to keep it level.
[pdf] These specialized tools utilize pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric power systems to deliver high-impact force through a drill bit, enabling effective rock fragmentation and excavation in various mining environments.
