Operation S 83 STD
5.2 DAILY OPERATION
Warning! Protect yourself and your neighbourhood against flying chips of
rock. Do not operate the hammer or carrier if someone is too close to the ham-
mer.
The hammer as a standard assembly, must not be used under water. If water
fills the space where the piston strikes the tool, a strong pressure wave is gen-
erated and the hammer may be damaged.
1. Prepare the carrier for normal excavation work. Move the carrier to the required
position. Set the drive to neutral.
2. Set the engine speed to the recommended engine RPM for correct amount of oil
supply.
3. Carefully operate the carrier controls to place the hammer and boom into the
breaking position. Quick and careless boom movements could result in damage
to the hammer.
