DISASSEMBLING THE IR60VR SERIES PAVING BREAKERS
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
•
Do not repair the tool at the work site. Always take the
tool to a repair shop. Never drag the tool on the ground.
The air port and other openings will become clogged
with dirt and debris.
•
Clean the breaker outer surface.
•
Do not disassemble the breaker any further than
necessary to replace or repair damaged or worn parts.
•
Whenever grasping a breaker or a part in a vice, always
use leather or copper-covered vice jaws to protect the
surface of the part and help prevent distortion. Take
extra care with threaded parts and housings.
•
Do not remove any part that is a press fit in or on a sub-
assembly unless the removal of the part is necessary for
repairs or replacement.
•
Do not disassemble the breaker unless a complete set of
O-rings is available for replacement.

fronthead (3). Lightly tap the fronthead (using a hide mallet
if necessary) from the cylinder (1).
Press or drift out the two fronthead spring pins (22, 23) and
remove the latch (6).
The plunger (20) and the plunger spring (21) can be removed
from the fronthead.
HANDLE DISASSEMBLY
Using a hide mallet tap loose and remove the muffler (29)
from the cylinder.
Firmly grip the cylinder upright in a vice with leather or cop-
per covered jaws.
Loosen the four-handle nuts (27), unscrew and remove the
four-handle screws (26).
Lift the handle assembly (5) from the cylinder (1) (tap with a
hide mallet if necessary).
Press or tap out the handle pivot pin (12), remove both han-
dle levers (8 and 9) from the handle body (5) together with
the trigger (7). Tap out the sleeve (13) to detach the handle

required.
Unscrew the inlet bushing (18), and remove trigger spring
