Replace worn components in good time. 7.2 Checking for wear Check the wear in the drill bushings using the Epiroc gauge (part number 3121 5690 03). Insert the gauge di- agonally. To check the wear, twist the gauge. If the wear gauge can be rotated the bushings needs to be re- placed.
The bushings must be replaced if they show signs of wear. 1. Remove the Drill steel Gaiter by hand. 2. Use the Epiroc wear gauge to remove the outer bushing (A). Insert the wear gauge teeth end aligned with the bushings corners. Push it in half way. Slightly twist the tool so it grabs the flat area behind the outer bushing were it will get best grip.
Safety and operating instructions ing. Make sure that the inner hexagonal shape of the seal is aligned with the inner shape of the bushings. Failure to do this might cause water leakage. 6. Reassemble the Drill steel Gaiter in it's groove and align it with the hexagonal shape of the bushing.
