• Furukawa rods come in a moil point, wedge point, flat rod, and rod with cemented carbide core. In general, the moil point is used frequently, but select an appropriate rod according to the nature of work and the characteristics of the object to break.
Outside dimensions Oil hose plug and cap NOTICE When attaching/detaching the oil hose plug and union cap, clean them well to prevent entry of dust. Oil hose plug The oil hose plug is used to plug the hose attached to the hydraulic breaker.
Mounting on base machine MOUNTING ON BASE MACHINE WARNING Two persons are necessary for mounting/dismounting the hydraulic breaker, so determine signals for operation in advance. Be sure to use a crane to handle brackets, pins, and other heavy objects. When the pin retaining bolt is removed during operation, the mounting pin will come off, and the hydraulic breaker will come off the hydraulic excavator, leading to injury or death.
Page 47
Mounting on base machine 4. When the arm pin is inserted, raise the boom, and place the breaker on the timber. Extend the bucket cylinder, and insert the pin into the hole in the bucket link. 5. Install the stop ring, and install the retaining bolt. Bolt locking is of a double-nut type. Tighten the nuts firmly.
Page 48
Mounting on base machine 9. Start the engine of the base machine, and raise the boom. Then operate the bucket cylinder to straighten the twisted connection hose of the hydraulic breaker. 10. Turn the high-/low-pressure stop valve on the hydraulic breaker pipe at the end of the arm by 90 degrees (the line on the head shows the direction of flow), and connect the hydraulic circuit.
Operation procedures (Breaking) OPERATION PROCEDURES (BREAKING) CAUTION Only those who have completed the technical course for operation of vehicle type construction machines (for dismantleing) and mastered the method of operation can operate the hydraulic breaker. Operate the base machine in accordance with the operation textbook used during the training course and the operation manual for the base machine.
Operation procedures (Breaking) n n n n Security • Before starting operation, check the topographical and geological conditions of the work site, and pay sufficient attention to cracks in the ground and collapse of buildings. • Station guards, arrange fences, and take other safety measures to protect pedestrians and general vehicles.
Operation procedures (Breaking) 3. Step on the breaker pedal to operate the breaker. NOTICE When the thrust drops during hammering, operate the boom to increase the thrust. 4. After braking concrete, return the pedal to the original position immediately. Repeat the above operation for breaking. Optimal thrust In order to effectively use the breaking force, appropriate thrust must be given to the breaker.
Operation procedures (Breaking) When the machine hammers a rock while the front of the base machine is lifted, the vibration during hammering will be transmitted also to the crawler, so avoid such operation for protection of the crawler. Exercise care so that thrust will be applied at all times during hammering operation.
1. Stop operation when hoses are vibrating abnormally. Check the hoses on the high-pressure and low-pressure sides of the breaker for abnormal vibration. If they are vibrating abnormally, ask your Furukawa dealer for inspection. 2. Stop operation right after breaking. (Avoid idle blows as much as possible.) After breaking rock, stop striking immediately.
Page 54
Operation procedures (Breaking) 3. Do not move rock. Rolling or falling a rock with the rod end or bracket side by using the boom or arm of the base machine as shown in the figure will result in breakage of the breaker mounting bolt or bracket, breakage and galling of the rod, and damage to the arm and boom.
Page 55
Operation procedures (Breaking) 5. Do not hammer continuously for more than one minute. If a rock cannot broken after hammering the same position for one minute, change the hammering position. Continued hammering of the same place for a long time will cause abnormal wear of the rod. 6.
Page 56
Operation procedures (Breaking) 8. Do not break rock in water or mud. Do not put any portion other than the rod in water or mud, Otherwise, water or mud will enter the hydraulic oil, leading to early failure of the breaker or base machine. 9.
Operation procedures (Breaking) Storage after operation CAUTION The rod is hot right after hammering, so do not touch it. When operation is suspended or completed When operation is suspended or completed, move the base machine to a flat ground, remove mud from the breaker body, and vertically lower the hydraulic breaker.
When using the machine after long-term storage When using the hydraulic breaker after long-term storage, ask your Furukawa dealer for inspection. NOTICE Sudden operation of the hydraulic breaker under high pressure will cause seizure of the piston and cylinder.
Troubleshooting TROUBLESHOOTING The table below is prepared for the person in charge of maintenance to be able to take corrective measures immediately when hydraulic breaker trouble occurs. Understand the details of the situation shown below when trouble occurs, and then contact the distributor. Situation Cause Correction...

In general, hydraulic oil specified by the base machine maker is recommended. Our company recommends the following hydraulic oil. Contact your Furukawa Rock Drill dealer in the following cases: a. When the machine is operated in a place where our recommended hydraulic oil is unavailable.
Hydraulic oil Oil temperature control • The hydraulic breaker is operated by the hydraulic power source of construction machinery (hydraulic excavator, etc.). After warming up the base machine, start the operation when the temperature is approx. 40°C. Usually, the hydraulic oil temperature of the hydraulic breaker and base machine circuit must be controlled between 40 and 60°C.
Maintenance, inspection and repair MAINTENANCE, INSPECTION AND REPAIR A hydraulic breaker is an attachment of a hydraulic excavator or the like. Therefore not only the inspection and repair mentioned in this manual but also those for the base machine (hydraulic excavator, etc.) are very important.

When assembling the rod pin, align the rod pin hole in the front head with the groove in the rod, and insert the rod pin.
ADJUSTMENT OF ADJUSTER NOTICE In fact, adjustment is necessary only when the breaker is mounted on a base machine which is out of the applicable base machine range. Avoid unnecessary adjustment. Adjust the adjuster while the breaker is in the stop condition. When exceeding the adjustment range of the adjuster, the hydraulic oil may leak.
CHARGING THE ACCUMULATOR WITH N2 GAS AND INSPECTION OF CHARGE PRESSURE WARNING Never use any gas other than nitrogen gas. CAUTION When charging only the accumulator with N2 gas, make sure that the body and cover of the accumulator are tightened securely. NOTICE Be sure to use a three-way valve for charging gas.
Inspection of charge pressure 1. Install the adapter (2) and pressure gauge (5) to the three-way valve (4). (Make sure that the O-rings (6) and (7) are installed in the adapter (2).) 2. Tighten the cap and relief valve installed in the three-way valve (4). 3.
Charging accumulator with N2 gas 1. After performing the inspection steps 1 to 4 of charge pressure, remove the cap from the three-way valve (4). 2. Connect the charging hose (3) to the three-way valve (4) and N2 gas cylinder (1). 3.
