Safety S 83 STD
HYDRAULIC HOSES AND FITTINGS
Ensure all hydraulic components will withstand maximum pressure and mechanical
stresses caused by operation of the attachment. Consult your local dealer for instruc-
tions.
FIRE HAZARD
Most hydraulic fluids are flammable and might ignite when contacting hot surface.
Avoid spilling hydraulic fluid to hot surfaces.
Working with the product on certain materials can cause sparks and hot splinters to
get loose. These can ignite flammable materials around working area.
Ensure that adequate extinguisher is available.
HYDRAULIC PRESSURE
Hydraulic fluid at system pressure can injure you. Before disconnecting or connect-
ing hydraulic hoses, stop the carrier engine, operate the controls to release pressure
trapped in the hoses and wait ten (10) minutes. During the operation, keep people
away from the hydraulic hoses.
There might be pressurized oil trapped inside the product even if it is disconnected
from the carrier. Be aware of possible blank firing while greasing or removing and
installing hammer tools. See “Removal of tool” on page 43.
PRESSURE ACCUMULATORS
The hammer incorporates one or two pressure accumulators, depending on the mod-
el. The accumulators are pressurized even when there is no hydraulic pressure to the
hammer. Attempting to dismantle the accumulators without first releasing the pres-
sure can cause injury or death. Do not try to dismantle pressure accumulators, con-
tact your local dealer first.
