Charging The Nitrogen; Storage - Toro 23135 Operator's Manual

Charging the Nitrogen

Service Interval: Every 500 hours—Check the nitrogen
charge in the accumulator.
Inside the breaker is an accumulator, a chamber of pressurized
nitrogen. After several hours of use the pressure may
decrease, reducing the performance of the breaker.
Strong vibrations in the auxiliary hydraulic hoses are a sign
the pressure is dropping in the chamber. If this should
happen, bring the breaker to your Authorized Toro Dealer
to be charged.
WARNING
Within the breaker is a chamber containing
pressurized nitrogen, which under the right
circumstances could explode, injuring or killing
you or bystanders.
• Do not take apart the body of the breaker.
• Do not attempt to charge the chamber yourself.
Always take the breaker to an Authorized Toro
Dealer for charging.
• Ensure that the breaker is charged only with
nitrogen. Other gases can explode.
• Do not ship the charged breaker via air freight.

Storage

1. Wash the attachment with mild detergent and water
to remove dirt and grime.
2. Grease the bit.
3. Check and tighten all bolts, nuts, and screws.
4. Inspect all mounting pins, holes, the lower bushing, roll
pins, and the bit-retaining pin. Repair or replace any
part that is damaged or worn.
5. Inspect all hydraulic fittings and hoses for leaks. Repair
or replace any fittings or hoses that leak.
WARNING
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure
can penetrate skin and cause injury. Fluid
accidentally injected into the skin must be
surgically removed within a few hours by a
doctor familiar with this form of injury or
gangrene may result.
• Keep body and hands away from pin hole
leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure
hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic
leaks; never use your hands.
6. Paint all scratched or bare metal surfaces. Paint is
available from your Authorized Service Dealer.
7. Store the breaker in a vertical position in a clean, dry
garage or storage area. Cover it to protect it and keep it
clean.
Important: If you are storing the breaker for more
than a month, store it vertically to avoid damaging
O-rings and seals inside the breaker.
