DESCRIPTION GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Patriot 60 is a valveless, pneumatically operated tool designed to utilize Numa 6" to 8-1/2" (152 mm to 216 mm) diameter bits in rock formations under a wide range of operating conditions. The Patriot 60HD utilizes Numa 6-1/4" to 8-1/2" (159 mm to 216 mm) diameter bits.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION BACKHEAD The backhead connects the hammer to the drill rod. It is threaded into the top end of the case and into the drill rod with a standard 3-1/2 API REG thread. Wrench flats are provided for disassembling. The pin aligns the feed tube assembly into the backhead.
PISTON The piston functions as the only moving part in the hammer, control ling the operational air cycle. The percussive action of the piston striking the bit transfers the energy through the bit in order to fracture rock formations. A snap ring inserted in the main bore prevents the piston from sliding out of the case when the chuck, bit, bit retaining rings and bit bearing are removed.
• is much easier than trying to do so after the drill has been removed from the drill rig. CAUTION USE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING DOWN THE HOLE HAMMER PARTS. NUMA HAMMER PARTS ARE MANUFACTURED FROM HARDENED, HEAT TREATED MATERIALS. DROPPING OR STRIKING THESE PARTS MAY CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE.

• Removal of the bit bearing and the snap ring in the chuck end is not necessary for routine maintenance. If necessary, insert the bit bearing press plate into the backhead end of the case with the small diameter toward the chuck end. Using a 2" (51 mm) diameter brass rod, slide the bit bearing press plate to the chuck end of the case until it rests against the bit bearing.
INSPECTION All parts should be washed in a clean solvent before they are inspected and • reassembled. WARNING USE CLEANING FLUIDS THAT ARE NONFLAMMABLE AND AVOID BREATHING THE FLUID VAPORS. Handle all parts carefully, hardened parts may chip if dropped on a hard surface. •...

• Screw the backhead into the case. CAUTION DUE TO CLOSE TOLERANCES BETWEEN THE PATRIOT 60/60HD INTERNAL PARTS AND THE CASE, NUMA CAN NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE CAUSED BY WELDING ON THE CASE OD. WELDING ON THE CASE CAN CREATE DISTORTION, CAUSE PREMATURE FAILURE AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
As an alternative to Rock Drill Oil, Numa Enviro Lube provides continuous protection for the Patriot 60/60HD when 3 oz. (.09 litres) are used every 300' (92 m) or four hours of drilling, whichever occurs first. Numa Enviro Lube is utilized in 3-1/2" to 6" hammers only.
SECTION VI STORAGE When storing a Patriot hammer, it is important to take the necessary steps in order to insure a smooth operation after restarting. When the hole is completed and the hammer is to be inactive for several weeks or longer the following steps should be followed: Each drill rod should be blown clear of all water.
Lubricate all the internal parts with Rock Drill Oil. See table 5-1 on page 12 for suitable • Rock Drill Oils. Cap the backhead and chuck ends. • Store the hammer horizontally in a dry environment. • RESTARTING Before restarting the hammer after prolonged periods of inactivity, disassemble and inspect all internal hammer parts.
BUTTON BIT MAINTENANCE GENERAL Numa button bits are designed for fast penetration and long life. Keeping the carbide buttons sharp has a direct effect on both the penetration and the tool life. As the bit wears flat, spots develop on the carbide buttons. These flat spots increase stress on the buttons causing the bit to work harder, which may cause button failure.
