NITROGEN GAS PRESSURE
The nitrogen gas pressure must be measured with no preload on the tool. Remove
the tool; or position the hammer with the tool fully extended against the tool retaining
pin. The hammer must not be resting vertical on the tool. The gas pressure in the
hammer will vary according to the gas temperature.
PREFERRED METHOD
The preferred method to measure or charge the nitrogen gas pressure is with the
hydraulic system temperature stabilized after 1 to 2 hours of running and with a
system oil temperature of 140° to 180°F (60° to 80°C).
ALTERNATE METHOD
The nitrogen gas pressure can be measured or charged at ambient temperature
(cold), before operating the hammer. It is recommended the pressure be verified at
operating temperature.
DO NOT OVERCHARGE THE HAMMER!
Exceeding the gas pre-charge specifications can result in
damaging hammer components. The NPK WARRANTY does not cover failures
resulting from exceeding the specified nitrogen gas pressure.
