ROUTINE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
1. VISUAL INSPECTION
Detect a potential problem early.
FASTENERS
Inspect all fasteners. Retighten as necessary. Refer to HAMMER FASTENER
TORQUE section, page 55 and 56 for Top Bracket bolt torque.
WELDS
Check for cracks, repair as necessary.
HOSES AND TUBING
Check for oil leaks, loose clamps and hose abrasion.
HYDRAULIC OIL
MAINTAIN A CLEAN HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
If non-petroleum oil is used, contact NPK Service Department for compatibility.
Keep hoses clean and capped when dismounting or storing hammer.
Change oil and filters as recommended by carrier manufacturer. Periodic oil
sampling is recommended.
2. DEMOLITION TOOL LUBRICATION
Important:
It is imperative that grease is maintained in the
tool bushing contact area at all times. This may require
hourly greasing depending on job conditions.
Important:
The hammer must be in a vertical position with
downforce applied to push the tool all the way in. This
prevents grease from entering piston impact area.
Pump
grease into hammer until grease is seen coming out
between the tool and bushing.
Use a good quality, high temperature EP#2 grease
containing anti-wear additives, see LUBRICATION
section.
If machine is equipped with an AUTOLUBE System, check
grease reservoir daily.
3. TOOL and TOOL BUSHING WEAR
Check the tool and tool bushings for damage, wear or deformation on a regular
weekly basis. Replace the tool and/or bushings when wear exceeds the maximum
clearance limit, see MAXIMUM TOOL TO TOOL BUSHING CLEARANCE section,
page 39.
Do not hardface or sharpen the tool point with a cutting torch. Excessive heat from
torching or welding causes embrittlement, breakage, and flying pieces. Re-sharpen
only with a surface grinder or milling machine using sufficient cooling.
Please consult your authorized NPK Dealer or NPK Service Department for additional
information.
