GAS CHARGING THE HAMMER
PROCEDURE
USE NITROGEN GAS ONLY.
STAY CLEAR OF THE TOOL WHILE CHARGING
THE HAMMER WITH GAS. The tool may be
impacted by the piston and forced out abruptly.
PROCEDURE
1. Carry out steps 1 thru 4 of CHECKING THE GAS PRESSURE, see page 30.
2. Remove the cap from the charge adapter.
Remove the valve cap only, not the charge valve assembly!
3. Install a pressure
regulator on a tank of
nitrogen gas.
4. Connect a hose from the
pressure regulator on the
nitrogen tank (g9) to the
charge adapter (g1).
5. Turn the T-handle (g2) on
the charge adapter (g1)
clockwise.
6. Turn the handle (g7) on the
tank regulator
counterclockwise to fully
close.
7. Open the valve (g10) on
the nitrogen tank by turning
the T-handle
counterclockwise.
8. Slowly adjust the regulator on the nitrogen tank to the
correct pressure by turning clockwise. See NITROGEN
GAS PRESSURE CHART or decal (g11) on hammer.
9. Charge nitrogen gas until the pressure gauge (g8) on the
charge adapter (g1) is at the correct setting, then turn the T-
handle (g2) counterclockwise all the way out.
10. Close the nitrogen tank valve and then remove the hose
from the charge adapter (g1).
Nitrogen gas may be trapped in the hose. Loosen fittings
slowly to release pressure.
11. Remove the charge adapter (g1) from the hammer charge valve.
12. Reinstall existing plug.
