PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING HYDRAULIC BREAKERS
SAFETY FIRST
●
When leaving the hydraulic excavator, lower the breaker to the ground and turn the engine off.
●
Never attach a cable or sling to the breaker to hoist a load. Doing so is extremely dangerous.
●
Remove the chisel before transporting the breaker.
●
Keep all people and equipment away from the breaker during operation. Rocks flying from the
breaker can cause serious accidents.
PRIOR INSPECTION
●
Check that there is sufficient hydraulic oil and that it is not contaminated.
●
Check that hoses, bolts and nuts are secure.
●
Grease the shank part of the chisel.
THINGS TO AVOID
●
Do not use the breaker in water (special specifications are available for underwater work).
●
Do not operate the breaker when the cylinders of your excavator are located at their stroke end.
●
Do not charge gases other than nitrogen gas into the gas cushion chamber and accumulator.
