ESCO EURO BEAD BREAKER Model #10107 

Troubleshooting 

SYMPTOM

PROBABLE CAUSE

RESOLUTION 

Check air supply. 

Rods extend too slowly. 

Insufficient hydraulic pressure 

from pump. 

Check clearance of inlet check ball.  Ball must 

be flush with or below end of filter adapter. 

Hydraulic pump does not 

release. 

Dirt under pedal in release valve area.  Clean 

pedal. 

Bearing is misaligned on 

breaker rod. 

Correct or replace. 

Rods fail to retract. 

Broken or weak springs. 

Replace. 

Sequence ball not seated, or 

spring is broken or weak. 

Correct or replace. 

Both rods extend at the 

same time.  Hydraulic 

pressure in breaker cylinder 

is not being released. 

Loose screw and ball not 

seated. 

Correct or replace. 

Fluid return ball did not restart. Correct or replace. 

Dirt plugging return port. 

Clean port. 

Breaker rod retracts after 

clamping rod.  Hydraulic 

pressure in breaker cylinder 

is not being released. 

Weak or broken spring in 

breaker cylinder. 

Replace. 

Air piston stuck. 

Check cylinder bore of pump for contamination 

or lack of lubrication. 

Pump does not reciprocate. 

Piston poppet not sealing. 

 Replace. 

Pump reciprocates.  Ram 

will not extend. 

Check prime. 

Depress both air valve and hydraulic release 

valve at the same time. 

Outlet check ball not sealing 

properly. 

Correct or replace. 

Pump extends ram but will 

not hold system pressure. 

Release valve mechanism not 

sealing properly. 

Check pin, ball, release poppet, and poppet 

retainer.  Correct or replace. 

Check air supply. 

5 - 10 CFM at 100 PSI 
Release valve mechanism. 
Low relief valve setting. 

Pump extends ram but will 

not build to maximum 

pressure.  No visible sign of 

leakage. 

Check for internal leakage. 

Inlet check ball not seating properly.  Correct or 

replace. 
Replace copper gasket and assemble in 

vertical position. 

Pump extends ram but will 

not build maximum pressure. 

Visible sign of leakage 

through exhaust muffler. 

Check piston sub-assembly. 

Replace piston packing.
