BREAKER MAINTENANCE
Change Hydraulic Oil and Replace Hydraulic Oil Tank Filter
Hydraulic breaker operation subjects the hydraulic system to
become contaminated faster and to quickly deteriorate the hy-
draulic oil. For this reason, hydraulic oil must be changed and
the hydraulic oil tank filter must be replaced more often than
the machine equipped with a bucket. Failure to do so may
result in damage to the breaker, hydraulic oil pump, and other
Attachment

* : Changing intervals differ depending on the brand of hydraulic oil used. Refer to the Hydraulic System in the MAINTE-
NANCE section.
** : Use the high performance element (micro-glass) on excavators engaged in demolition and logging work.

IMPORTANT: Use a high performance element (micro-

and logging work. In case using a filter-pa-
per element is unavoidable, change hydrau-
lic oil and the filter element at the intervals
as illustrated with dotted lines.
