4. Installing and removing the breaker (1) Remove the two pins of the bucket and replace the bucket. (2) To operate the bucket without using the hydraulic breaker, close the stop valve on the excavator’s arm (turn the valves off) and disconnect the hoses connecting the stop valves to the breaker.
Maintenance and inspection 1. Inspection of hydraulic oil and filter element (1) The hydraulic excavator installed with the hydraulic breaker uses the engine and hydraulic oil more severely than does an excavator alone. Therefore, the hydraulic oil deteriorates more quickly, causing trouble in the breaker.

● REPAIRING SCRATCHES The entry of foreign matter into the hydraulic breaker or the use of degraded or contaminated hydraulic oil can result in scratches on the inner wall of the cylinder, the external surface of the piston, the external surface of the valve, or on the inner wall of the cylinder sleeve. These scratches may increase oil leakage, generate excessive heat, and damage the U-packing.
Page 18
How to repair the scratches on the piston and cylinder Cylinder Piston Remove the tips of scratches using an oilstone, never try to remove the whole scratches. Round the corners of the repaired scratches using abrasive paper (#800).
Surface roughness of the cylinder sleeve: 6.3S Scratched surfaces with a surface roughness of 25S or greater cannot be repaired. Surfaces with smaller scratches can be repaired using #800 grinding paper. Do not use an oilstone. Surface roughness of the valve (H): 3.2S Scratched surfaces with a surface roughness of 25S or greater cannot be repaired.
