Original Instructions

1. Clean the retainer pins. Clean and lubricate the bush-

ing plentifully. This is especially important when

mounting a new working tool.

2. Mount the working tool.

3. Rotate the working tool to spread the grease.

4. Mount the retainer pins, and make sure they stay in

the position and avoid them to fall through the boring

at the back.

6 Operation

NOTICE

 The hydraulic breaker or the working tool is not

to be used as a lifting device. When lifting heavy compo-

nents use the hook on the carrier arm.

6.1 Preparation before breaking

6.1.1 Operating temperatures

The operating temperatures of the hydraulic breaker are

between -20ºC (-4ºF) and +80ºC (+176ºF).

 

CAUTION

 

Temperature hazard

The hydraulic breaker and the hydraulic oil system of the

carrier can be damaged if the hydraulic breaker is used

at higher or lower temperatures.

u

Only start the hydraulic breaker when the hydraulic

oil has reached the proper operating temperature.

u

If the ambient temperature is below –20ºC (-4ºF),

you must warm up the working tool and the hydraulic

breaker before use.

u

If the oil temperature e80ºC (+176ºF), you

must not use the hydraulic breaker as the oil quality

becomes inadequate which severely shortens the life

time of seals and O-rings.

6.1.2 Engine rpm

Too high engine rpm only results in increased fuel con-

sumption and increased oil temperature. Adapt the en-

gine rpm to the recommended value to give the correct

operating oil flow.

6.2 Operating

6.2.1 Risk area

Before starting the hydraulic breaker, make sure that no

persons are in the risk area, 20 meters (66 ft) both hori-

zontally and vertically from the hydraulic breaker.

20 m

6.2.2 Breaking

 

CAUTION

 

Machine and tool hazard

Continuous operation at full extension and/or retraction

can result in damage to the hydraulic cylinders.

u

Always avoid operating the breaker with the cylinders

fully extended or retracted.

u

Reposition the carrier and/or boom to avoid fully ex-

tended or retracted cylinders.

u

Pay attention and look at what you are doing.

Never start the hydraulic breaker until both carrier and

the hydraulic breaker are in the correct position.
