1000 HRS KIT

1000 HRS KIT 5590 0100 03 Performing the 1000-hour service is a critical step in maintaining the health of your hydraulic rock drill. This service kit bundles all the necessary replacement components for a major internal overhaul. It typically includes a full set of seals for the percussion piston and accumulator, along with bushings and other wear items that have reached the end of their design life. Replacing these parts together helps restore the drifter's internal hydraulic integrity.

A drifter that has been properly rebuilt with this kit will operate with renewed efficiency and reliability. Correct sealing prevents internal leaks that can sap impact energy and reduce drilling speed. For example, a worn piston seal allows high-pressure oil to bypass, leading to a weak blow and slower penetration. By restoring these critical tolerances, the drifter can maintain consistent performance, which contributes to better hole quality and lower cost per meter drilled.

Adhering to the 1000-hour service interval is the best way to avoid major component failure. Don't wait for significant oil leaks or a dramatic drop in performance to act. When rebuilding the drifter, ensure all housing surfaces are clean and free of burrs before installing the new seals. Using the complete kit is recommended over sourcing individual parts to ensure nothing is missed.
