Epiroc Boomer L2 Maintenance & Inspection Checklist

Daily pre-start checks · PH/DH service schedule · warning actions · fluids and lubricants.

Daily / Each-Shift Inspection

Complete before operation and rectify safety defects before returning the rig to work.

Every shift
1

Engine oil & coolant

Check engine-oil dipstick with engine stopped. Check cold coolant level in the expansion vessel.

Act if: oil is below MIN, milky or leaking, or coolant is low/leaking.

2

Engine sealing & air intake

Inspect fuel/oil/coolant lines and joints. Empty the air-intake evacuation valve and check the restriction indicator.

Act if: hoses or joints leak, the valve is damaged, or restriction remains.

3

Brakes & emergency stops

Perform the prescribed parking/service-brake function check and test each fitted emergency stop.

Act if: the rig moves during the holding test or any emergency stop fails.

4

Guards, controls & access

Check hatches, guards, controls, warning signs and access areas; remove mud and cuttings.

Act if: a guard cannot be secured, controls stick, or access is unsafe.

5

Hoses, cables & fire equipment

Inspect exposed hoses/cables and check the fire extinguisher and fitted fire-suppression system.

Act if: insulation is damaged, hoses leak, or fire equipment is damaged/discharged.

6

Booms, feeds & drill supports

Inspect both BUT 35 booms, cylinders, feed/cradle, ropes, supports and drill-rod support for wear, cracks and leaks.

Act if: a crack, loose joint, leak, damaged rope/slide or uncontrolled drift is found.

7

Rock drills & ECL lubrication

Clean each rock drill, inspect shank-adapter threads, check COP OIL level and verify air/oil lubrication during drilling.

Act if: threads are damaged, leakage is abnormal or lubrication delivery is absent.

8

Hydraulic oil

Read the tank sight glass in the prescribed parked position and check return-filter restriction.

Act if: level is low, oil is milky, a leak is present or restriction is indicated.

9

GAR 5 compressor & intake

After safe shutdown/depressurization check reservoir oil level, compressor condition and air-filter/cyclone cup.

Act if: oil is low/leaking, compressor overheats, or intake is blocked/damaged.

10

Water strainer & flushing

Keep the water strainer clean and inspect flushing supply, hoses and flow.

Act if: the strainer is damaged or flushing flow remains poor.

11

Reeling units

Check reel gear-oil level, hose connections, cable condition and orderly reel travel.

Act if: oil/water leaks, damaged cable or abnormal reel movement is present.

12

Cleanliness & lubrication points

Rinse cuttings and dirt from the rig, especially feed/boom fronts; inspect grease points and accessible level indicators.

Act if: debris blocks movement/cooling or a lubrication point is dry/damaged.

Safe maintenance position: park on firm level ground, apply the parking brake, secure articulation and support booms/feeds. Stop the engine, isolate incoming electrical power and release hydraulic, air and water pressure before opening a circuit.
