Note*	These figures serve as guidelines only. They are calculated with available pull/feed force, weight of drill string in water filled hole, average WOB and reserve for breaking solid core in rock with 10MPa Tensile Strength. Epiroc cannot guarantee these capacities will be reached in all working conditions due to varying factors such as ITH used, conditions of the ground and differences in operation.
