GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Champion RC210 is a valveless, pneumatically operated reverse circulation drill designed to utilize Numa 21" to 26" (533 mm to 660 mm) diameter reverse circulation bits in a wide range of drilling applications. The Champion RC210 hammer design incorporates a hardened case and a large diameter collection tube.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION BACKHEAD The backhead connects the hammer to the drill rod. Backheads can be manufactured to be compatible with several reverse circulation drill rod designs. Please contact your distributor or regional salesperson for more information. Wrench flats are provided for disassembly.
FEED TUBE COMPRESSION RING A feed tube compression ring sits between the feed tube and the feed tube housing and keeps the feed tube assembly tight. FEED TUBE The feed tube supplies the main air into the chambers located in the piston. It seats on a shoulder in the feed tube housing and is designed with a long bearing surface to maintain alignment in the feed tube housing.
CHUCK The chuck threads into the bottom end of the case with a large cross section thread form. It has internal splines that transmit rotation to the bit through a set of delrin drive plates. CHUCK BUSHING The chuck bushing is a nylon insert located in the bottom end of the chuck to provide a bearing surface between the lower bit shank and the chuck.
Maintenance should be performed in a clean environment. • 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. STRIKING THE HAMMER PARTS WITH HAMMERS, CROWBARS OR LIKE INSTRUMENTS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

The Champion RC210 hammer requires a continuous supply of the correct type of Rock Drill Oil. The Champion RC210 hammer consumes at least 16 quarts (15 litres) of Rock Drill Oil per hour in order to maintain adequate lubrication. When using Biodegradable Oils, you must increase the total amount by 25%.
SECTION VI STORAGE When storing a Champion 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 17 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.
