6. Maintenance
6.4 Nitrogen gas in the backhead
Dehaco or an approved Dehaco dealer will ensure that
the hydraulic breaker will be ready to use at delivery.
The backhead therefore will be charged with nitrogen.
For inspection or maintenance purposes it is required
to monitor and refill the nitrogen.
The breaker will be supplied with a gas charging kit
as standard. This includes a charging block, extension,
25 bar pressure gauge (IBEX 70GS – IBEX 4000GS) and
100 bar pressure gauge (IBEX 1200GS – IBEX 4000GS).
By following the steps below it is possible to safely
and accurately inspect and fill the backhead with
nitrogen.
Procedure for filling backhead
1) Unscrew the gas plug on the backhead using a 5
mm Allen key.
2) Attach the charging kit to the charging valve on
the backhead (it is possible that an extension is
required to mount the kit).
3) Ensure that the pusher is in the up position.
4) Close the screw valve.
5) Attach the gas cylinder.
6) Charge the backhead to the pressure indicated in
column A. This is 4 bar higher than the required
pressure.
7) Open the cylinder and wait for the pressure to
equalise between the regulator and the backhead,
once equalised close the cylinder.
8) Open the screw valve whilst the pusher is in the
up position to release the pressure within the
charging kit and hose, then remove the hose from
the charging kit.
9) Screw the stop back onto the charging kit.
10) Press the pusher in to measure the nitrogen in the
backhead.
11) Whilst holding the pusher in the down position
adjust the pressure to the value indicated in
column B using the screw valve.
12) Release the pusher and the backhead should be
charged to the desired pressure.
13) If the pressure is lower than desired then repeat
procedure from step 6.
14) Open the screw valve whilst the pusher is in the
up position to release the pressure within the
gauge and dismount the charging kit.
15) Tighten the gas plug.
