Product introduction
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.
Removal from package

Remove all the steel belts from the package. Open the package and remove all plastics covering the product.
Recycle all package materials (steel, plastic, wood) properly.
Check that the product is in good condition and that there is no visible damage. Check that all ordered parts
and accessories have been enclosed with the product. Some options may be provided by your local dealer like
installation kits; including hoses and mounting bracket.
Lifting instructions
Use a hoist when lifting components which weigh 23 kg (50 lb) or more, to avoid back injury. Make sure all
chains, hooks, slings etc., are in good condition and are in the correct capacity. Be sure hooks are positioned
correctly. Lifting eyes are not to be side loaded during a lifting operation. Do not use the hammer's tools for
lifting.
Provided lifting points

The lifting eyes located on the Product housing are to be used solely to lift or handle the Product itself. The
lifting capacity calculation is based on Product's working weight including normal working tool and average
sized mounting bracket.
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 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.
Lifting eye screws

Lifting eye screws shall be completely tightened. The lifting eye must be loaded only if the screw is properly
tightened to the housing.
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.
Lifting devices must safely carry the working weight of the product. See Hammer specifications Place chains or
slings, as shown by the illustration, to lift the product.
Note: The lifting eye must always be removed from the hammer and replaced with a blanking screw before
starting to operate hammer.

Safety
General safety
All mechanical equipment can be hazardous if operated without due care or correct maintenance. Most
accidents involving machine operation and maintenance are caused by failure to observe basic safety rules or
precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous situations before an
accident occurs.
Because it is impossible to anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard, the
warnings in this guide and on the machine are not all inclusive. If a procedure, tool, working method or
operating technique not specifically recommended by manufacturer is used, you must satisfy yourself that it is
safe for you and others. You should also ensure that the product will not be damaged or made unsafe by the
method of operation or maintenance procedures you choose.
Safety is not just a matter of responding to the warnings. All the time you are working with your attachment
you must pay attention to what hazards there might be and how to avoid them. Do not work with the product
until you are sure that you control it. Do not start any job until you are sure that you and those around you
will be safe.
Warning! Read the following warning messages carefully. They tell you of different hazards and
how to avoid them. If proper precautions are not taken you or others could be seriously injured.
Safety instructions
Manuals
Study this manual before installing, operating or maintaining the product. If there is anything you don't
understand, ask your employer or your local dealer to explain it. Keep this manual clean and in good
condition.
The related safety label on the hammer and the text on the label are shown below.
"IGNORING INSTRUCTIONS HAZARD
Faulty handling practice could cause death or serious injury.
Read and follow the instructions in the operator's manual."
Care and alertness

All the time you are working with the product, take care and stay alert. Always be alert for hazards. The
possibility of a serious or even fatal accident is increased when you are intoxicated.
Clothing
You can be injured if you do not wear proper clothing. Loose clothing can get caught in the machinery. Wear
protective clothing to suit the job.
Examples are: a safety helmet, safety shoes, safety glasses, well-fitting overalls, ear-protectors and industrial
gloves. Keep cuffs fastened. Do not wear a necktie or scarf. Keep long hair restrained.
Practice
You and others can be killed or injured if you perform unfamiliar operations without 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.
Regulations and laws

Obey all laws, work site and local regulations which affect you and your equipment.
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.
Banks and trenches

Banked material and trenches can collapse. Do not work too close to banks and trenches where there is a
danger of collapse.
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."
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.
Flying chips of rock

The safety label on the hammer is shown below:
"FLYING OBJECTS HAZARD
Fragments fly up to 40 m (130 ft) and could cause death or serious injury.
Stop operation when a person enters hazard zone.

Wear approved personal protective equipment."
Protect yourself and your neighbourhood against flying chips of rock. Do not operate the product or carrier if
someone is too close.
The European standard EN 474-1 on safety of earth-moving machinery requires that adequate operator's
protection, such as bullet proof glass, mesh guard or an equivalent protection is used.
Keep the cabin windows and doors closed during operation. Window bars are recommended to protect the
windows from flying chips of rock.
High noise level

A hammer in operation creates a high noise level. Always wear ear protection to prevent personal injury.
The safety label on the hammer is shown below:
"NOISE HAZARD
Continuous exposure to noise above 80 dB(A) will cause hearing impairment.
Wear approved hearing protectors."
Equipment limits
Operating the product beyond its design limits can cause damage. It can also be dangerous. See Hammer
specifications
Do not try to enhance the product's performance by unapproved modifications.
Hydraulic fluid
Fine jets of hydraulic fluid at high pressure can penetrate the skin. Do not use your fingers to check for
hydraulic fluid leaks. Do not put your face close to suspected leaks. Hold a piece of cardboard close to
suspected leaks and then inspect the cardboard for signs of hydraulic fluid. If hydraulic fluid penetrates your
skin seek medical help immediately.
Hot hydraulic fluid can cause severe injuries.
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 instructions.
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 connecting 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 Changing the tool
Pressure accumulators
The safety label on or near the accumulator is shown below.
"HIGH PRESSURE HAZARD
Improper handling of pressurized accumulator will cause death or severe injury.
Read workshop manual before disassembly.
Release pressure before disassembly.
Recharge with nitrogen (N2) only."
The hammer incorporates one or two pressure accumulators, depending on the model. The accumulators are
pressurized even when there is no hydraulic pressure to the hammer. Attempting to dismantle the
accumulators without first releasing the pressure can cause injury or death. Do not try to dismantle pressure
accumulators, contact your local dealer first. See Releasing hydraulic pressure from hammer See Pressure
accumulator
Lifting equipment
You can be injured if you use faulty lifting equipment. Make sure that lifting equipment is in good condition.
Make sure that the lifting equipment complies with all local regulations and is suitable for the job. Make sure
that the lifting equipment is strong enough for the job and you know how to use it.

Modifications and welding

Non-approved modifications can cause injury and damage. Contact your local dealer for advice before
modifying the product. Before welding on the product while it is installed on the carrier, disconnect the carrier
alternator and battery. Note that welding of the hammer tools will render them useless and make the
warranty void.
Metal splinters
You can be injured by flying splinters when driving metal pins in and out. Use soft-faced hammer or drifts to
remove and fit metal pins, such as pivot pins. Always wear safety glasses.
Labels on the Product

Safety labels communicate the following four things:
z The severity level of the risk (i.e. signal word "DANGER" or "WARNING").
z The nature of the hazard (i.e. the type of hazard: high pressure, dust, etc.).
z The consequence of interaction with the hazard.
z How to avoid the hazard.
You must ALWAYS follow the instructions of the safety messages and symbols of the product safety labels and
the instructions set forth in the manuals to avoid death or severe injury!
Keep the safety labels clean and visible at all times. Check the condition of safety labels daily. Safety labels
and instructions which have disappeared, been damaged, painted over, come loose or do not meet the
legibility requirements for safe viewing distance, must be replaced before operating the product.
If a safety label is attached to a part that is replaced, install a new safety label on the replacement part. If this
manual is available in your language, then the safety labels should be available in the same language.
There are several specific safety labels on this hammer. Please become familiarized with all safety labels. The
location of the safety labels is shown in the illustration below.
When you clean the safety labels, use a cloth, water and soap. Do not use solvent, gasoline or other harsh
chemicals to clean the safety labels.

will allow the safety label to fall.
Operation
Operating instructions
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 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. For more
information, see "Mounting brackets" in Dealer manual.
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. For more
information, see "Making an installation" in Dealer manual.
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
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
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
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 For
more information, see "How to choose the right tool" in Dealer manual.
Chisel, moil point and pyramid
z For sedimentary (e.g. sandstone) and weak metamorphic rock into which the tool penetrates.
z Concrete.
z Trenching and benching.
Blunt tool
z For igneous (e.g. granite) and tough metamorphic rock (e.g. gneiss) into which the tool doesn't
penetrate.
z Concrete.
z Breaking boulders.
Super blunt
z When tool wear is extensive in igneous (e.g. granite) and tough metamorphic rock (e.g. gneiss) into
which the tool doesn't penetrate.
z Breaking boulders (very abrasive rock).
z Do not use for penetrative work or in non-abrasive rock!
It is important to choose a tool, which is suitable for your hammer and for the application you are working on.
The tool selection available depend on hammer model. See Tool specifications
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 See
Requirements for hydraulic oil
Idle selector ON (factory setting)
It is recommended to keep the mechanism turned ON in normal hammer work. In ON-position the idle stroke
prevention system is activated and it prevents idle strokes. See illustration 1. Note that the hammer can be
started only after feeding the tool against object.
Idle selector OFF

Idle selector can be turned OFF when breaking very soft material or in demolition application where it is
difficult to apply enough feeding force. See illustration 2.
Turning idle selector on and off
1. Remove shield plate.

2. Turn the screw clockwise (to ON-position) or counter-clockwise (to OFF-position) as shown in
illustration below.
3. Insert shield plate.
Note: Idle selector has only two positions, ON and OFF. Do not apply any other positions in between.
Preheating the hammer

If the ambient temperature is lower than 0 °C (32 °F), it is recommended to preheat the hammer according to
the instructions below.
1. Ensure that the idle selector is turned ON.

2. Lift the hammer off the ground.
3. Press the hammer operating switch and drive oil through the hammer for a couple of minutes.
Selecting long and short stroke mode
1. Remove shield plate.

2. Turn the screw clockwise (to short stroke mode) or counter-clockwise (to long stroke mode) as shown
in illustration below.
3. Insert shield plate.
Note: Stroke selector has only two positions, short stroke and long stroke. Do not apply any other positions in
between.
Checking the service interval status

You can check the service interval status by firmly tapping the sensor three (3) times in 1- to 3-second
intervals. If the pulse is not timed correctly, you need to wait five seconds before trying again.
One (1) flash Indicates that the hammer is operating at 0-25% of the service interval.
Two (2) flashes Indicates that the hammer is operating at 25-50% of the service interval.
Three (3) flashes Indicates that the hammer is operating at 50-75% of the service interval.
Four (4) flashes Indicates that the hammer is operating at 75-100% of the service interval.
Five (5) flashes Indicates that the service interval of the hammer is completed and 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.
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 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.
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
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.
7. Start the hammer.

8. A safety screen is recommended to protect the operator from flying debris. Keep the cabin windows and
doors closed during operation.
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.
Mounting and dismounting the hammer
Removal from carrier
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.
6. The carrier can be moved aside.
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
3. Open hammer inlet and outlet lines.
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.
Special conditions of use

Special conditions of use are conditions in which the hammer is used for some work other than normal
breaking or demolition, such as:
z Hammer tunneling
z Foundry cleaning
z Underwater operations
z Operations in extremely low or high temperatures
z Use of special hydraulic fluids

z Hammer operations with a special carrier (e.g., an extra long boom)
z Other special conditions
Special conditions of use may require modifications to the attachment, special operating techniques, increased
maintenance or special wear items. If you are planning to use the hammer under a special condition of use,
please consult your local dealer for instructions.
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 neighbourhood
against compressed water/air spray and possible broken compressed air hoses.
Warning! If you are using the hammer under water, check stability of carrier and hammer. The
hammer weight increases by water when you are lifting the hammer quickly out of the water.
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. For more information, see "Preparing
the hammer for underwater use" in Installation Guide.
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
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.
Storage
Long term storage

Observe the following points when the hammer is stored. In this way the vital parts of the attachment are
protected from rust and the machine is ready to be used whenever necessary.
1. The storage area must be dry.

2. The tool must be removed in hydraulic hammers.
3. The lower end of the piston, tool and tool bushings must be well protected with grease in all hydraulic
hammers.
4. Connections must be sealed with clean plugs to prevent oil leakage and dirt from getting into couplings.
5. The product must be stored in the vertical position.
6. Make sure the product can not fall.

Wear gloves when handling the grease containers. If you get grease onto your skin, wash it away
with water.
Automatic greasing
The hammer can be equipped with an automatic greasing device. See Greasing device
Do not remove the grease cartridge unnecessarily. Always keep the grease cartridge in the greasing device to
prevent dirt from entering the greasing device.
Note: Some hammer models are equipped with an adapter kit for manual greasing and do not include an
automatic greasing device.
Replacing the grease cartridge

Measure the distance from the top of the grease cartridge. You should replace the grease cartridge if the
distance is more than 200 mm (7.87 in). The grease cartridge is empty and has to be replaced when the
distance is 210 mm (8.27 in).
1. Unscrew and remove the grease cartridge.

2. Dispose the used cartridge appropriately. Note: The grease cartridge is disposable; it can not be
refilled.
3. Check and clean the grease cartridge seat in the cartridge holder. Remove the old grease cartridge seal.
4. Remove the protective cap from the new cartridge.
5. Check the grease cartridge seal.

6. Push the cartridge piston with fingers until approximately 15 mm of grease comes out.
7. Insert the cartridge and tighten it.
Adjusting the dose

Note: Some hammer models are equipped with an adapter kit for manual greasing and do not include an
automatic greasing device.

D. Grease nipple for manual greasing to upper tool bushing
E. Grease nipple for manual greasing to lower tool bushing
F. Adjusting screw for grease dosage to upper tool bushing
G. Adjusting screw for grease dosage to lower tool bushing
H. Locking nut for the adjusting screw
Adjusting the dose

Please note that the actual amount of grease needed for proper lubrication varies according to:
z hammer size
z application: the amount of grease depends on the number of working cycles within a given time. In
practice this means that, in an application where the working cycles are short but the quantity is high, a
smaller dose can be used.
z wear rate of the tool shank and bushing
z condition of the tool seal
z operators working techniques
z grease quality
1. Turn the locking plate and plug aside.
2. Open the locking nut.
3. Turn the adjusting screw for grease dosage clockwise to close it completely.
4. Next open the adjusting screw for grease dosage by turning it counter-clockwise as needed. See table
below.
5. Tighten the locking nut to the specified torque setting. See table below.
6. Turn the locking plate and plug to the correct positions.
Item Specification/Torque
Shield screws 175 Nm (129 lbf ft)
Adjusting screw locking nut 50 Nm (37 lbf ft)

Adjusting range Linear 0 ... 8 turns (7 mm)
Basic adjustment 2 turns open / means 0.1 g grease/impact period

1-turn adjustment 0.035 g grease/impact period
Manual greasing
Follow the product's greasing instructions and avoid excessive greasing. Dispose of empty grease
containers appropriately.
Manual greasing is always possible even if the hammer is equipped with the automatic greasing device.
Manual greasing is necessary if there is no grease cartridges available, greasing device has malfunction or
pressure hose is damaged.
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 For more information, see "Grease guide" in Dealer manual.
Insufficient greasing or improper grease may cause:
z Abnormal wear of tool bushing and tool
z 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.
Carrier hydraulic oil
Requirements for hydraulic 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.
Problems due to incorrect hydraulic oil viscosity in the hammer:

Oil too thick
z Difficult start up
z Stiff operation
z Hammer strikes slowly

z Danger of cavitation in pumps and in the hydraulic hammer
z Sticky valves
z Filter bypass opens, impurities in the oil are not removed
Oil too thin
z Efficiency losses (internal leaks)
z Damage to gaskets and seals, leaks
z Accelerated wearing of parts, because of decreased lubrication efficiency
z Hammer strikes irregularly and slowly

z Danger of cavitation in pumps and in the hydraulic hammer
Note: We strongly recommend the use of different hydraulic oils in the summer and in the winter if there is an
average temperature difference of more than 35 °C (63 °F). The correct hydraulic oil viscosity is thus ensured.
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:
z The viscosity range in the special oil must be in the given range (20-1000 cSt)
z The lubrication properties must be sufficient
z 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.
Oil cooler
The correct place to connect the hammer return line is between the oil cooler and the main filters. The
hammer return line should not be connected before the oil cooler. Routing the hammer return flow through
the cooler, might damage either the cooler, due to pulsating flow, or the hammer, due to increased back
pressure.
The carrier hydraulic system must be able to maintain the temperature within an acceptable level during the
hammer operation. This is for two reasons.
1. Seals, wipers, membranes and other parts manufactured from the corresponding materials can normally
stand temperatures up to 80 °C (176 °F).
2. The higher the temperature is, the less viscous the oil gets thus losing its capability to lubricate.
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:
z The hammer circuit pressure relief valve is not open when the hammer is operated.
z 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.
z 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.
Oil filter
The purpose of the oil filter is to remove impurities from the hydraulic oil. Air and water are also impurities in
oil. Not all impurities can be seen with the naked eye.
Impurities enter the hydraulic system:
z During hydraulic oil changes and refilling.
z When components are repaired or serviced.
z When the hammer is being installed on the carrier.

z Because of component wear.
Normally the existing main oil filters of the carrier are used as hammer circuit return line filters. Consult the
carrier manufacturer or your local dealer concerning instructions for the filter change intervals.
In hydraulic hammer work the carrier oil filter must fulfil the following specifications:
z The oil filter must allow maximum particle size of 25 microns (0.025 mm).
z The oil filter material must be artificial fibre cloth or very fine gauge metallic mesh to withstand
pressure fluctuations.
z The oil filter must have a nominal flow capacity of at least twice the hammer's maximum flow.
In general, oil companies guarantee new oils to have a particle count of 40 microns maximum. Filter the oil
when filling the tank.
The damage caused by hydraulic oil impurities in the carrier and hammer circuits:
1. The working life of the pumps and other components is significantly shortened.
{ Rapid wear of parts.
{ Cavitation.
2. Wear of cylinder and gaskets.
3. Reduced hammer efficiency.
{ Accelerated wear of moving parts and seals.
{ Danger of piston seizing up.
{ Oil leakages.
4. Shortened working life and reduced lubricating capability of oil.
{ Oil overheats.
{ Oil quality deteriorates.
{ Electro-chemical changes in hydraulic oil.
5. Valves do not function properly.
{ Spools bind.
{ Rapid wear of parts.
{ Blocking of small holes.
Note: Component damage is only a symptom. The trouble itself will not be cured by removing the symptom.
After any component damage due to impurities in the oil, the entire hydraulic system has to be cleaned.
Dismantle, clean and reassemble the hammer and change the hydraulic oil.
Maintenance
Routine maintenance
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.

Prefilling of large hammers in workshop

If the hydraulic oil flow in the initial stage of test running of large hammers after assembly is high, then it is in
some cases possible that contact between piston and body parts may occur.
The contact may be avoided with a slow startup of the pump, e.g. 30 l /min to fill the hammer, before
delivering full oil flow.
We also recommend very strongly, that you prefill the hammer / valve housing with hydraulic oil in the
assembly stage as shown in the pictures.
When prefilling the hammer please consider the following issues:
z Use only clean, fresh and proper oil for hydraulic hammer use, according to specification in workshop
manual, including instructions to filter for 25 micron.
z When special oils (biological etc.) are used on carrier, use the same oil in prefilling and test run.
z The oil needs to be poured at slow pace, so that trapped air can exit properly from internal cavities.
z After assembly and or test run, plug in/out ports to prevent oil leakage during horizontal storage and
transportation.
These recommendations are valid for all large hammers [weight 1000 kg and larger].

23. Install the O-ring to the spring housing.

24. Install the spring housing. Tighten it to the specified torque setting.
25. Lock the spring housing by bending the lock plate with a chisel and a hammer.
26. Install the new grease cartridge. Prefill the greasing device by pressing the piston of the grease
cartridge manually.
27. Attach the greasing device in to the housing. Tighten the screws to the specified torque setting.
28. Connect the grease and pressure hoses to the greasing device and hammer.
29. Install the shield to the housing. Tighten screws to the specified torque setting.
30. Prefill the hammer's grease channel by applying tool grease with a grease gun to the grease nipple
located on the side of the greasing device. Continue until some grease appears from the tool bushing`s
grease holes (use assistant if possible). This may take some time; the capacity of hammer internal
grease channel is approximately 500 - 1000 grams.

Testing
Measuring hammer circuit
Measuring points
p0 tank (with closed circuit from suction pipe of the pump)
p2 straight before the restriction of the flow meter (e.g. Webster flow meter includes pressure gauge for p2)
Q2, T2 at flow meter, which connects pressure and return line of the hammer circuit
p3 straight after flow meter
How to measure
Procedure for measuring and adjusting the hammer circuit:
Note: Check and calibrate all the gauges you are going to use. Faulty pressure gauges should be changed.
Note: If the flow to the hammer is adjusted by changing the engine revolutions, always check the flow also at
full engine revolutions. Note: It is absolutely forbidden to use hammer above specified oil flow range.
Warning! Don't exceed the carrier's main relief valve setting.
1. Check the lines, couplings, clamps etc. to ensure their condition. Replace worn or damaged components
and tighten loose joints.
2. Check that there is a pressure relief valve in the hammer line.
3. Make sure that carrier's hydraulic oil temperature is at normal operating level when measuring.
4. Connect the flowmeter in place of the hammer. It is preferable to use same hoses and couplings that
are used with the hammer, especially in cases when hoses are equipped with quick couplings.
5. Check that the adjustable restriction is open.
6. Start the engine and press the hammer operating switch.
7. Close the hammer line to adjust the crack point of pressure relief valve 50 bar (gauge p2) above the
hammer max. operating pressure shown in the technical data.
8. Open the restriction so that the hammer's operating pressure at gauge p2 is reached.
9. Check that the hammer's oil flow is within the limits.

10. Check that the return line back pressure p3 doesn't exceed the values allowed at the hammer oil flow.
11. Check that the hammer's oil flow doesn't increase when the carrier's operating pressure exceeds the
pressure in the hammer line (pressure compensated flow control). To do that, drive the boom, stick and
bucket cylinders to the tilt position while pressing the hammer operating switch and checking the flow.
12. Open the restriction.
14. Connect the hammer in place of the flow meter.
15. Measure hammer operating pressure. See Measuring hammer operating pressure
16. When installing a new hammer check all the values after working about 50 hours with the hammer.

Measuring hammer operating pressure
Warning! When measuring hammer operating pressure, you are working in hammer's danger area.
Protect yourself against flying debris.
1. Hammer operating pressure must be measured with carrier hydraulic circuit in its optimum operating
temperature. Before starting hammer operating pressure measuring procedure, operate carrier until
hydraulic oil has warmed sufficiently.
3. Remove pressure measuring plug (A) and connect a 250 bar pressure gauge with a minimum 10 meter
hose to high pressure measuring port, BSP 1/4" on check valve cover.
4. Start carrier and adjust engine revolutions. Set engine revolutions to hammer operating revs. If carrier
has power/work modes, please select mode intended for hammer work.
5. Position tool e.g. on a thick steel plate and start to operate hammer.
6. Read average operating pressure reading on pressure gauge.
7. Average operating pressure reading should range between given specifications. Note: When measuring
operating pressure by hammering on a steel plate or equivalent hard material, the pressure reading
should be in the lower end of the specified pressure range. Hammer's operating pressure tends to raise
when working with soft material. See Hammer specifications
8. If pressure reading is not within specifications, re-adjust pressure control valve spring pre-load and
measure operating pressure again. See Pressure control valve
9. Stop carrier and remove gauge. Torque plug (A) to specified setting.
