3. PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
3.1 OVERVIEW
The product is a hydraulically operated breaker. It can be used on any carrier which
meets the necessary hydraulic and mechanical installation requirements. The unit
functions by repeatedly raising a steel piston and driving it down onto the head of a
removable breaking tool.
No additional pressure accumulators are necessary since the integrated pressure
accumulator absorbs hydraulic pressure peaks. The impact energy of the hammer is
almost constant and independent of the carrier's hydraulic system.
Warning! To avoid falling objects, do not use Product to lift other products.
The lifting eyes located on the Product housing are to be used solely to lift or
handle the Product itself.
The maximum allowed total weight is shown on the Product's CE-plate and
specification page. See “Hammer specifications” on page 70. If the weight exceeds
the maximum allowed total weight shown on the CE-plate and specification page,
you have to use other lifting points/methods than originally provided on the
Product.
The other treaded holes on the Product (for example on the hammer powercell) are
intended for handling single parts only. It is forbidden to lift the entire assembly by
using these threaded holes (for example on the cylinder outer surfaces). For
handling the parts, see product workshop documentation for suitable lifting
methods and lifting adapters.
Failure to properly tighten the screw before allowing load pressure on the
lifting eye may cause lifting eye to break and free fall of the Product.
If you use mechanical tools for tightening, make sure not to overstrain the shank.
Before lifting make sure that the rope and/or hook is stretched.
When two lifting eye screws are used, the lifting capacity depends on the angle of
the lifting chains. The angle should not be less than 45°, as shown in the illustration.
When the lifting eye screws are tightened, both rings should be aligned.
The loading capacity calculation applies to temperatures between -10 °C (14 °F)
and 40 °C (104 °F).
Before reuse of lifting eye screws make sure there are no surface flaws (for example
pits, voids, folds and seams, deformation of the ring, missing or broken threads,
rust, etc.).
The local, national safety standards for machines and lifting-equipments must
always be strictly observed.
Note: The lifting eye must always be removed from the hammer and replaced with
a blanking screw before starting to operate hammer.
R010266
Lifting devices must safely carry the working weight of the product. See “Hammer
specifications” on page 70. Place chains or slings, as shown by the illustration, to
lift the product.

practising them first. Practice away from the job site, in a clear area.
Keep other people away. Do not perform new operations until you are sure you can
do them safely.
COMMUNICATIONS
Bad communications can cause accidents. Keep people around you informed of
what you will be doing. If you will be working with other people make sure they
understand any hand signals you will be using.
Work sites can be noisy. Do not rely only on spoken commands.
WORK SITE
Work sites can be hazardous. Inspect the site before working on it.
Check for potholes, weak ground, hidden rocks etc. Check for utilities (electric
cables, gas and water pipes etc.). Mark the positions of underground cables and
pipes if you will be breaking the ground.
Poor visibility can cause accidents and damage. Make sure that visibility and
lighting of the working area are adequate.
SAFETY BARRIERS
Unguarded equipment in public places can be dangerous. Place barriers around the
machine to keep people away.
AIRBORNE POLLUTANTS
The related safety label on the hammer and the text on the label are shown below.
"DUST HAZARD
Breathing dust will cause death or severe injury.
Always wear approved respirator."
DANGER
DUST HAZARD
Breathing dust will cause death
or severe injury.
Always wear approved
respirator.
169400_ENG-1
R010356
Airborne pollutants are microscopic particles, which will damage your health, when
inhaled. Aiborne pollutants on construction sites can be e.g. silica dust, oil fumes or
diesel exhaust particles, visible or invisible. Especially in demolition sites, there
may be other dangerous substances, such as e.g. asbestos or lead paints or other
chemical substances.
The effect of airborne pollutants may be immediate if the substance is poisonous.
The main danger with airborne pollutants comes from long term exposure, where
particles are inhaled but not removed from the lungs. The disease is called e.g.
silicosis, asbestosis or other and will result in death or serious injury.
To protect yourself from airborne pollutants, always keep excavator doors and
windows closed during operation. Excavators with pressurized cabins should be
utilized in hammer operation. Proper maintenance of fresh air filters of the
excavator is essential. Where pressurized cabins are not available, proper respirators
must be utilized.
Stop working, when bystanders are in the area of airborne pollutants and make sure
they have proper respirators. Respirators are as important for bystanders as hard
hats.Respirators for both operator and bystanders must be approved by the
respirator manufacturer for the application in question. It is essential that the
respirators protect from the tiny dust particles which cause silicosis and which may
cause other serious lung diseases. You should not use the equipment until you are
sure the respirators are working properly. This means the respirators must be
checked to make sure that it is clean, that its filter has been changed, and to
otherwise make sure the respirator will protect in the way it is meant to.
Always make sure dust has been cleaned off your boots and clothes when you leave
your shift. The smallest particles of dust are the most harmful. They may be so fine
that you can not see them. Remember, you MUST protect yourself and bystanders
from the danger of breathing or inhaling dust.
Always follow local laws and regulations for airborne pollutants in the working
environment.

5. OPERATION
RECOMMENDED USE
The hammer is designed to be used in breaking oversized boulders, demolishing
heavily reinforced concrete structures and for major heavy excavation and clearing
work. It can be also used for primary breaking, tunnelling and removal of
metallurgical slag. Your local dealer will gladly give you more information.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
Principle of installation
Almost all carriers meeting mechanical and hydraulic requirements can be used to
operate the attachment. See “Hammer specifications” on page 70. The product is
installed on the carrier much in the same manner as installing a bucket or other
attachments. A flange mounted attachment requires a separate mounting bracket.
The attachment is connected to a carrier's hydraulic circuit with an installation kit.
If the carrier is already equipped with an installation kit, the installation requires
only suitable hoses and fittings. If the carrier does not have suitable kit to run the
attachment, one must be built. This may require more complex installation
including new piping and additional valves such as directional valve and pressure
relief valve.
Suitable kits can be ordered from the manufacturer or local dealers, from carrier
manufacturers and their dealers or from third party suppliers.
Hydraulic oil
In general the hydraulic oil originally intended for the carrier can be used with this
product. See “Requirements for hydraulic oil” on page 50.
Operating temperature
The operating temperature is -20 °C (-4 °F) to 80 °C (176 °F). If the temperature is
lower than -20 °C (-4 °F), the hammer and tool have to be preheated before any
operations can begin, in order to avoid breaking the accumulator's membrane and
the tool. During operation they will remain warm. See “Preheating the hammer” on
page 28.
Note: The temperature of the hydraulic oil must be monitored. Ensure that oil grade
and monitored oil temperature together guarantee correct oil viscosity. See “Oil
specifications” on page 51.
Noise dampening
Operating the hammer near residential areas or other noise sensitive areas can cause
noise pollution. In order to avoid unnecessary noise, please follow these basic rules:
1. When operating with the hammer, keep the tool at 90 degree angle to the
material and the feed force in-line with the tool.
2. Replace or fix all parts that are worn out, damaged or loosened. This not only
saves your hammer but it also decreases the noise level.
PRINCIPLES OF BREAKING
To increase the hammer's working life, pay particular attention to correct working
methods and how to choose the correct tool for the job. There are essentially two
ways of breaking with a hydraulic hammer.
Penetrative breaking (or cutting)
In this form of breaking a moil point or chisel tool is forced inside the material. This
method is most effective in soft, layered or plastic, low abrasive material. The high
impact rate of the small hammers makes them ideal for penetrative breaking.
Impact breaking
With impact breaking, the material is broken by transferring very strong mechanical
stress waves from the tool into the material. Impact breaking is most effective in
hard, brittle and very abrasive materials. The high impact energy of the big
hammers makes them ideal for impact breaking. The best possible energy transfer
between the tool and the object is achieved with a blunt tool. The use of a chisel tool
in hard material will cause the sharp edge to wear very quickly.
CHOOSING TOOLS
A selection of standard and special tools to suit each application are available. The
correct type of tool must be selected to get the best possible working results and
longest life time for the tool. Choosing the best tool type for an application may
require some testing, please consult with your local dealer. See “Tool
specifications” on page 73.
IDLE SELECTOR
The hammer includes idle stroke preventing system as a standard feature. Frequent
idle strokes have a deteriorating effect on the hammer. Idle stroke preventing
system can be turned ON or OFF by the operator.
Idle selector can be used to warm up the hammer and oil before operation. See
“Operating conditions” on page 24. See “Requirements for hydraulic oil” on page
50.

the hammer must be serviced.
The sensor repeats the signal about every 20 seconds for the next four minutes. The
status of the service interval should be checked weekly. It is also recommended that
you keep a log of the status of the LED display.
Warning! To avoid falling objects, do not use Product to lift other products.
The lifting eyes located on the Product housing are to be used solely to lift or
handle the Product itself. See “Lifting instructions” on page 8.
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.
4. Use the excavator boom to press the hammer firmly against the object. Do not
pry the hammer with the boom. Do not press too hard or too gently with the
boom. The correct force is applied, when the tracks start to lift slightly from the
ground.
5. Place the tool against the object at a 90 degree angle. Avoid small irregularities
on the object which will break easily and cause either idle strokes or an
incorrect working angle.
6. When demolishing vertical structures (e.g. brick walls), place the tool against
the wall at a 90 degree angle.
9. Note: Listen to the hammer's sound when you are using it. If the sound becomes
weaker and the impact less efficient, the tool is misaligned with the material
and/or there is not enough down force on the tool. Realign the tool and press the
tool firmly against the material.
10. Do not strike in one spot for more than 15 seconds at a time. If the object does
not break, or if the tool does not penetrate, stop the hammer and change the
position of the tool. Working too long in one spot will create stone dust under
the tool. Dust dampens the impact effect and produces heat.
11. Do not let the tool move outwards from the hammer when it penetrates. Keep
the down-pressure on the hammer while breaking.
12. To use the hammer most efficiently when breaking large objects, concentrate
on small steps from the outer edge towards the middle.
13. When breaking hard or frozen ground, use the benching method. Start with
clearing a small area from the edge. Then continue by breaking material
towards the open area.
14. Stop the hammer quickly. Do not allow the hammer to fall down and make idle
strokes when an object breaks. Frequent idle strokes have a deteriorating effect
on the hammer. If the hammer falls through, the housing wears out more
quickly.
15. When breaking concrete, hard or frozen ground, never strike and pry with the
tool at the same time. The tool may break. Bending may be caused by stones
inside hard or frozen ground. Be careful and stop striking if you find sudden
resistance under the tool.
16. Keep the tool at a 90 degree angle at all times. If the object moves or its surface
breaks, correct the angle immediately. Keep the feed force and tool aligned.
17. Do not use the hammer tools to move rocks. The stone claws are designed for
this purposes.
18. Do not use the hammer to sweep the ground of debris. This may damage the
hammer and the housing will wear out more quickly.
19. When operating the hammer, make sure that it does not make contact with the
carrier boom or hydraulic lines.
20. Do not operate the hammer with the carrier's boom, stick or bucket cylinders at
the end of their stroke (either fully extended or fully retracted). Damage to the
carrier may result.
21. Do not use the hammer or hammer tools for lifting. Lifting eyes on the hammer
are for storage and maintenance purposes only.
22. The tool shank must be well greased during operation. Regular visual
inspections during operation are recommended. An unlubricated tool shank
requires more frequent greasing intervals. A tool shank covered with excessive
grease requires less frequent greasing intervals.
23. Check the service interval status weekly. See “Checking the service interval
status” on page 30.
Warning! The hammer must be secured from rolling over when disconnecting
from the carrier. Only use a skilled operator to position the carrier for hammer
removal!
Warning! Hydraulic pressure inside the hammer must always be released
before opening hose connections!
Warning! Hot hydraulic fluid can cause severe injuries!
1. Position hammer horizontally on the floor. If the hammer is going to service,
remove the tool.
2. Stop the carrier engine. Operate boom and hammer controls to release pressure
trapped inside hoses. Wait ten minutes for oil pressure to drop.
3. Close hammer inlet and outlet lines. If quick couplers are used, disconnection
automatically closes hammer lines. If hammer line includes ball valves, please
make sure that they are closed.
4. Disconnect hoses. Protect environment from oil spills. Plug the hoses and the
hammer inlet and outlet ports.
5. Remove bucket pins and other parts.
INSTALLATION
1. Install hammer in the same manner as mounting a bucket. Install bucket pins.
2. Connect hoses. Hammer inlet port is marked on the valve body with "IN" and
outlet port with "OUT". An installation inspection must be carried out after the
product has been mounted on the carrier. In the installation inspection certain
specifications (operating pressure, oil flow, etc.) are checked so that they are
within given limits. See “Hammer specifications” on page 70.
3. Open hammer inlet and outlet lines.
5.4 MOVEMENT
The transportation and parking positions are shown below. When moving with the
hammer, ensure that it isn't too close and doesn't point at the cabin window.
UNDERWATER OPERATION
Use environmental friendly oil and tool grease when you are using the hammer
under water.
Warning! If you are using the hammer under water, protect yourself and your
surroundings against compressed water/air spray and possible broken
compressed air hoses.
Warning! If you are using the hammer under water, check the stability of the
carrier and the hammer. Water gets inside the hammer, causing it to weigh
more. Due to the added water weight, lift the hammer carefully out of the
water.
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
generated and the hammer may be damaged.
The latest hammer models can be modified for underwater operations for only short
periods. The operating principle in underwater hammering is to conduct pressurized
air through a built-in channel to the spaces above and below the piston. The air
pressure prevents water entering the hammer. 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 generated and the hammer may be damaged.
The wear resistance of the hammer parts is considerably lower under water than in
normal use. This is caused by corrosion and by the abrasive effect of mud in water.
After starting underwater hammering, the hammer must be inspected regularly, for
example after every half hour operation. Adapt the inspection intervals to the
working conditions. See “Maintenance intervals in underwater use” on page 58.
In underwater applications, the productivity of a hydraulic hammer is considerably
lower than in normal work. This is caused by:
1. The breaking object is not visible to the operator. This causes misalignment
between the tool and the object and unnecessary idle strokes.
2. The hammer must be inspected and greased more often than in normal
situations.
3. The hammer must always be completely serviced after working on underwater
job sites.

GREASING INTERVAL
1. Tool shank must be well lubricated before installing tool.
2. 5-10 strokes from grease gun to tool bushings and tool at regular intervals.
3. Adapt interval and amount of grease to wear rate of tool and working
conditions. This can be anything between two hours and daily, depending on
material (rock/concrete) to be broken. See “Recommended greases” on page 44.
Insufficient greasing or improper grease may cause:
■ Abnormal wear of tool bushing and tool
■ Tool breakage
CORRECT GREASING
1. Position the hammer standing upright resting on the tool on firm surface.
2. Stop carrier engine and wait 10 minutes for oil pressure to drop inside hammer.
3. Apply tool grease from grease gun to greasing points marked with the following
sticker.
Note: The hammer must stand upright resting on the tool to ensure that the grease
will penetrate downwards between the tool and the bushing.
Do not fill the space between the piston and the tool with grease. A lower piston seal
failure can result and the hammer will subsequently leak oil.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
In general the hydraulic oil originally intended for the carrier can be used with this
product. However, since working with the product heats the oil more than the usual
excavation work, the temperature of the oil must be monitored.
If the temperature of the hydraulic oil exceeds 80 °C (176 °F), an auxiliary oil cooler
is needed. The oil viscosity must be between 20-1000 cSt while the attachment is
being used.
When the product is used continuously, the temperature of the hydraulic oil
normalizes at a certain level depending on conditions and on the carrier. The
temperature in the tank must not exceed the maximum allowed.
The hammer must not be started if the ambient temperature is below freezing and
the oil is very thick. The machine must be moved to bring the oil temperature above
0 °C (32 °F) before hammering can start (viscosity 1000 cSt or 131 °E).
OIL SPECIFICATIONS
Table below shows hydraulic oils recommended for hammer use. The most suitable
oil is selected in such a way that the temperature of the hydraulic oil in continuous
use is in the ideal area on the chart and the hydraulic system is used to best
advantage.
SPECIAL OILS
In some cases special oils (e.g. biological oils and non-inflammable oils) can be
used with the hydraulic hammers. Observe the following aspects when considering
the use of special oils:
■ The viscosity range in the special oil must be in the given range (20-1000 cSt)
■ The lubrication properties must be sufficient
■ The corrosion resistance properties must be good enough
Note: Although a special oil could be used in the carrier, always check its suitability
with the hammer due to high piston speed of the hammer. Contact the oil
manufacturer or your local dealer for more information about special oils.
A standard carrier, with a proper hammer circuit, meets the requirements of the
necessary cooling capacity. If the oil temperature tends to be too high during the
hammer operation, the following things must be checked:
■ The hammer circuit pressure relief valve is not open when the hammer is
operated.
■ The hammer circuit pressure drops are reasonable. Less than 10 bar (145 psi) in
the pressure line and less than 5 bar (75 psi) in the return line.
■ Hydraulic pumps, valves, cylinders, motors etc. and hammer do not have
internal leakages.
If all of the above mentioned things are in order, and the temperature of the
hydraulic oil still tends to be too high, extra cooling capacity is needed. Consult the
carrier manufacturer or dealer for details.
MAINTENANCE
1. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
1.1 OVERVIEW
This product is a precision made hydraulic machine. Therefore great care and
cleanliness should be taken when handling any of the hydraulic components. Dirt is
the worst enemy in hydraulic systems.
Handle the parts carefully and remember to cover any cleaned and dried parts with
clean lint-free cloth. Do not use anything other than purpose designed materials for
cleaning hydraulic parts. Never use water, paint thinners or carbon tetrachloride.
Components, gaskets and seals in the hydraulic system should be oiled with clean
hydraulic oil before assembly.
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
generated and the hammer may be damaged.
