10.0 Changing the Tool – [cont’d]
Fig 10-7 Stand Upright. Push Tool Against Firm
Surface. OK To Grease

Bypass Into Impact Chamber
Conventional re-lubrication is accomplished with a
grease dispenser such as a standard hand-operated
or power-assisted grease gun.
Apply lubricant as shown in Fig. 10-6. The top lube
fitting lubricates the upper bushing. The lower
bushing is lubricated through the bottom fitting.
1. On stable and level ground, stand the breaker
vertically and push the tool firmly against the
ground. Engage interlock and shut off carrier.
2. Wipe off grease nipple. Press grease gun over
top lubrication nipple. Pump lever 20-30* strokes.
3. Repeat step 2 on lower lube nipple.
*The amount a grease gun will deliver per lever
stroke will vary widely from one gun to the next. The
amount dispensed must equal the amount consumed
between last replenishment. If greasing intervals are
infrequent, additional strokes will be necessary to
refill grease reserves. Pump enough grease until
surfaces are sufficiently covered.
Generally, tool re-lubrication is recommended every
two hours. However, the operator must actively
monitor the tool and grease must always visible. If
not, shorten the time between re-lubrication. Excess
lubrication ends up as waste. Either extend period
between re-lubrication or decrease the number of
lever strokes.

Times
10.4.1 Avoid Costly Lubrication Mistakes
CAUTION
At no time is it permissible to re-lubricate
the tool with the breaker lying horizontally
as shown in Figure 10-9. Neglecting to
press the tool against thrust ring will allow
grease to by-pass and fill the space above
the tool (impact chamber).
If this occurs, the oil seals may be dislodged and lead
to piston and cylinder damage.
