The pin aligns the feed tube assembly into the backhead.
  • Page 7 PISTON The piston functions as the only moving part in the hammer, control ling the operational air cycle. The percussive action of the piston striking the bit transfers the energy through the bit in order to fracture rock formations. A snap ring inserted in the main bore prevents the piston from sliding out of the case when the chuck, bit, bit retaining rings and bit bearing are removed.
  • Page 8 CHUCK BUSHING The chuck bushing is a nylon insert located in the bottom end of the chuck to provide a bearing surface between the lower bit shank and the chuck. DRIVE PLATES The plastic drive plates provide wear protection for the splines. They are inserted between the chuck and the bit.

    The Patriot 180 hammer requires a continuous supply of the correct type Rock Drill Oil. The Patriot 180 hammer consumes at least 10 quart (10 litres) of Rock Drill Oil per hour in order to maintain adequate lubrication. See table 5-1 for recommended Rock Drill Oil.
  • Page 22: Section Vi Storage

  • Page 23: Restarting

    Lubricate all the internal parts with Rock Drill Oil. See table 5-1 on page 16 for suitable • Rock Drill Oils. Cap the backhead and chuck ends. • Store the hammer horizontally in a dry environment. • RESTARTING Before restarting the hammer after prolonged periods of inactivity, disassemble and inspect all internal hammer parts.
  • Page 24: Section Vii Button Bit Maintenance

    BUTTON BIT MAINTENANCE GENERAL Numa button bits are designed for fast penetration and long life. Keeping the carbide buttons sharp has a direct effect on both the penetration and the tool life. As the bit wears flat, spots develop on the carbide buttons. These flat spots increase stress on the buttons causing the bit to work harder, which may cause button failure.
