PARTICLES FROM HAMMER MAY STRIKE EYES.
PROTECTIVE GOGGLES MUST BE WORN WHEN OPERATING ATIACHMENT.
FAILURE TO HEED WILL RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
CAUTION
TO PREVENT INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE HAMMER FROM DIRT, THE HAMMER PRESSURE HOSE AND RETURN HOSE QUICK DISCONNECTS MUST BE CONNECTED TOGETHER WHEN REMOVING HAMMERS FROM EQUIPMENT.
DANGER
AN OBJECT FROM THE UNIT OR WORK MAY STRIKE OPERATOR OR BYSTANDERS.
DO NOT OPERATE UNIT WHEN BYSTANDERS ARE IN WORK AREA.
FAILURE TO HEED WILL RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Section I - Page # 4
The fronthead must be lubricated every 2-3 hours. This will reduce wear of the working steel, retainer pins and front head bushing.
Check for loose or missing bolts on side plates, top or side mounting bracket, valve, and accumulator.
Check for missing rubber plugs and snap rings.
Check hydraulic fittings for loose connections or oil leakage.
Inspect backhead, cylinder, accumulator and valve housing for signs of abnormal oil leakage.
Always check the working steel for galling or fatigue cracks. Eventual breakage may occur with continued use.
Always apply thrust in line with the working steel. Any side force resulting from improper breaking angles may damage the point and possibly the piston.
Never use the working steel for prying or repositioning the carrier.
Never use the breaker to move large rock.
Avoid "blank firing" or "free running." This occurs when the tool is not in proper contact with the work, either sliding off or breaking through thin concrete or rock.
Avoid excessive boom down pressure. Damage to front head and side plates may result from sudden break through.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Before installation or operation of the hydraulic breaker, the operator and
maintenance personnel should read and understand the following safety precautions:
• The safety alert symbol means ATTENTION I Your safety is involved!!
•
In accordance with the general construction safety standards, no bystanders are
allowed in the vicinity of the breaker while it is in use.
Stay clear of the breaker while it is in operation. Flying objects can cause severe
injuries, or even death.
Always wear safety glasses and ear protection when operating the breaker.
Always wear safety glasses during installation, service or any activities associated
with the breaker.
Before operating the breaker, read and follow the safety decals located on the breaker.
The opposite page shows these decals.
Operate the breaker only when the operator is seated in the cabin with full control of
the machine.
Use the breaker for its intended purpose only.
Be sure all decals, name plates, serial number tags and the mandatory daily check list
are clearly visible. Clean and replace as necessary.
When installing or removing the breaker, keep hands and fingers clear of the
mounting pin holes and linkage.
Make frequent inspections of the breaker and base machine as described in the "Daily
Inspection" section of this manual.
Never use the breaker as a lifting device.
Do not make any alterations to the breaker without the authorization of Spartan
Equipment's Product Support Department.
Anytime service is performed on the breaker, hydraulic pressure in the line must first
be released. Then disconnect the hydraulic lines themselves.
Never disassemble the breaker without first releasing the gas charges. Failure to
comply can result in serious injuries or death.
Use only Spartan Equipment replacement parts.
Never use hands to search for hydraulic fluid leaks, use a piece of paper or cardboard. Escaping fluid under pressure can be invisible and
can penetrate the skin and cause a serious injury. If any fluid is
injected into your skin, see a doctor immediately. Injected fluid MUST
be surgically removed by a doctor familiar with this type of injury or gangrene
may result.

STEP 3
STEP 4
STEP 5
STEP 6
STEP 7
STEP 8
STEP 9
Remove the bucket and bucket pins from the base machine.
The breaker should be set on wooden blocks or the shipping skid, with the
hoses pointing upward and the working steel toward the base machine.
(Refer to the illustration.)
Remove the breaker mounting pins and the retainer bolts. Do not remove the mounting bushings from the bosses in the side plates of the breaker.
Carefully move the dipperstick into position between the mounting
bushings until the bucket mounting hole is aligned with the breaker
mounting pin hole.
Install the breaker mounting pin for the dipper stick ("bucket pin") and secure it in place with the retainer bolt and locknut.
Adjust the bucket cylinder until the linkage arm hole is aligned with the other breaker mounting pin hole.
Install the other breaker mounting pin ("linkage arm pin") and secure it in place with the retainer bolt and locknut.
Connect the hose whips coming from the breaker to the appropriate
hydraulic lines on the base machine's accessory kit.
Slowly cycle the bucket cylinder to ensure the hose whips are not
pinched or drawn too tight.

STEP 3
STEP 4
STEP 5
STEP 6
STEP 7
Rotate the breaker so that the side away from the operator is parallel to
the ground. Place wooden blocks on the ground and lay the breaker on
them. (Refer to the illustration.)
Disconnect the hose whips. Couple the hose whips together, this
prevents contamination from entering the hoses.
Remove the retaining bolts from both of the breaker mounting pins.
Remove the breaker mounting pin from the linkage arm.
Remove the breaker mounting pin from the bucket mount.
Carefully move the dipperstick from between the mounting bushings.
Replace the breaker mounting pins into the mounting bushings and
secure in place with the retaining bolts.

SECTION III
OPERATION
Revised: July, 2010
Section III - Page # 1
PROPER OPERATING TECHNIQUES
Before operating the breaker, refer to the "Daily Breaker Inspection"
section of this manual. The following is a list of proper operating techniques that
should be practiced when using the breaker, and common mistakes to be avoided.
BOOM DOWN PRESSURE
Proper boom down pressure must be applied to achieve maximum breaking
ability. If the down pressure is not sufficient, the energy created will be transferred
to the carrier, not the rock. This could lead to stress on the breaker and the carrier,
which could result in damage.
Excessive boom down pressure may lift the carrier off the ground. When the
material is broken, the carrier will fall forward causing shock to the breaker and
carrier and result in unnecessary damage.
Section III - Page # 2
THRUST DIRECTION
Always position the breaker perpendicular to the work surface. As the
breaker travels downward it will follow a curved path. Always reposition the
carrier to keep perpendicular to the work. If breaking is done at an angle other
than perpendicular, the tool may slip off the material or cause a bind between the
working steel and the front bushing.
HOSE VIBRATIONS
Discontinue breaking if the hoses develop excessive vibration. If the
pressure and return hoses vibrate excessively, the nitrogen charge in the
accumulator may need adjusted. In this case, refer to the section of this manual
labeled "Accumulator Charging Procedure".
WORKING STEEL TRAVEL
Make sure the working steel travels freely in the bushing. If the steel does
not move freely, it may be seized in the front bushings. If so, disassemble front
head. Check the bushing for signs of seizing, repair or replace needed parts and
reassemble. Be sure to keep the fronthead bushing well-greased.
Section III - Page # 3
IDLE HAMMERING
As soon as the material has been broken, discontinue hammering
immediately. The breaker and carrier may be adversely affected by idle strokes.
AVOID MOVING ROCKS WITH BREAKER
Do not use the breaker or working steel to roll, push material or reposition
the carrier. This may cause damage to the mounting bolts, sideplates, working
steel or the carrier itself. Never use the swing function to push materials aside!
PRYING
Do not pry with the working steel, under any circumstances. This may
cause damage to the bolts or failure of the working steel. Powdered "spoils" can
become packed in a hole, and will cause the steel to become stuck. Frequent re-
positioning will help avoid this problem, as will correct selection of working steel.
Refer to the section on Working Steels for the information on the styles available.
Section III - Page # 4
LIFTING
Never use the working steel or breaker to lift with. This is dangerous and
could damage the breaker or working steel.
AVOID PROLONGED HAMMERING
Never hammer more than 45-60 seconds continuously in the same spot.
When breaking hard material keep moving the working steel to avoid dulling the
point or raising the oil temperature, which could result in a damaged accumulator,
breaker or carrier.
BREAKING HARD OR LARGE MATERIAL
When breaking oversized material, it is always better to break the ends or at
a crack. Even large rocks can be broken in this manner.
BREAKING ROUND OR IRREGULARLY SHAPED MATERIAL
When breaking rounded material that might shift or move, careful
positioning is required. Often, a blunt working steel makes better contact with
rounded rocks, and can be much easier to position firmly on the material.
Section III - Page # 5
ENGINE SPEED
Operation of the breaker should be performed at the specified engine speed.
Operating at higher speeds does not increase impact energy, but will overheat oil
and could result in damage to the accumulator, breaker or carrier.
OPERATING THE BREAKER IN WATER OR MUD
The working steel may be submerged in water or mud, but the breaker itself
must remain above the surface. Submerging the breaker could damage the piston
and result in failure of the breaker.
For underwater demolition, consult your Spartan Equipment representative
for the proper retrofit to the breaker.
WINTER OPERATION
Always allow ample time for the hydraulic oil to warm-up to its proper
operating temperature. If you operate the breaker at low oil temperatures, you may
damage the piston, seals and cylinder. Begin work carefully to allow sufficient time
for the metal to warm to operating temperatures. In extreme cold conditions, it is
advisable to pre-warm the hammer and the working steel prior to use.
Section III - Page # 6
POSITIONING THE BREAKER
Always maintain control of the breaker when positioning the working steel. Do
not let the breaker drop on the material being broken. This could damage the breaker
and base machine.
CARRIER'S CYLINDER POSITIONS
When breaking material, do not operate with the carrier's cylinders fully
extended or retracted.
INSPECT ALL NUTS AND BOLTS
During the normal course of operation, mounting bolts and nuts may loosen.
Always inspect the breaker before, during and after use. Refer to the "Daily
Inspection, Maintenance and Lubrication" section of this manual.
CARE OF WORKING STEEL
Refer to the "Working Steel" section of this manual for proper care and
replacement.
Section III - Page # 7
LONG TERM STORAGE CONSIDERATIONS
Rust is the enemy of all polished machine parts. Special care should be taken
when a hammer goes into storage for more that a few weeks, or any time the bare
parts might be exposed to special oxidation hazards.
If your hammer is not going to be used for an extended period of time, it is
advisable to prepare it for storage by taking the following steps:
Disconnect the hammer from any carrier, and couple the pressure and return
hoses together to avoid contamination.
• Thoroughly clean the outside of the hammer.
• Remove the working steel (Refer to the Working Steel section of this manual.)
Apply a thin coating of clean grease to any exposed metal parts, paying special
attention to the mounting pins and bushings.
• Clean the inside of the fronthead to remove foreign materials.
Apply a thin coating of grease to the inside of the chuck area, and to the stop
pins, retaining pins, the bushing, and the exposed end of the piston.
It is recommended that the hammer be stored indoors, in a dry, warm
environment, but if that is not possible, store the hammer on a raised platform
and cover it with a water-proof cloth, secured so as to protect it from wind and
rain.
OPERATOR SAFETY
Always practice good safety habits consistent with industry practice and
guidelines. Spartan Equipment recommends that every operator be acquainted
with the CIMA Form MB-140, the Safety Manual for Operating and Maintenance
Personnel n_ Hydraulic Mounted Breakers. It is an excellent guide and is available
upon request from us at:

To inspect for contamination, refer to the "HYDRAULIC FLUIDS
and GREASES" section of this manual.
To maintain the optimum performance from the breaker, it is recommended
that a complete inspection and maintenance be done periodically.
Section IV - Page # 3
HYDRAULIC FLUIDS and GREASES
The life-blood of the breaker is the hydraulic oil. In order to maintain peak
performance from the breaker, it is essential to use the correct oil as well as
maintain a clean hydraulic system.
SELECTION OF HYDRAULIC OIL
To select the proper oil, refer to the following table:
MANUFACTURER ISO VG 68
(HOT WEATHER)
ISO VG 46
(COLD WEATHER) (EXTREME COLD)
SHELL TELLUS OIL 56 TELLUS OIL 46
ESSO NUTO H68 NUTO H46
MOBIL DTE 26 DTE 25 DTE 13
** NOTE: IF A PHOSPHATE ESTHER FLUID IS USED, SPECIAL SEALS
ARE REQUIRED. CONSULT YOUR SPARTAN EQUIPMENT
REPRESENTATIVE.
HYDRAULIC OIL CONTAMINATION
Oil contamination can result in malfunctions and unsatisfactory performance of
both the hydraulic breaker and the base machine. Special attention must be paid to
the hydraulic system. The base machine's hydraulic system may become
contaminated faster when using a breaker than when using a bucket or other
attachment. The following guidelines should be followed when using a hydraulic
breaker:
When installing the breaker onto a machine for the first time, drain the base
machine's hydraulic system completely. Flush the reservoir, cylinders and piping
as thoroughly as possible. Replace the main line oil filter cartridge. Add new
hydraulic oil. If the base machine is brand new, this step may be omitted.
The main return filter element should be replaced after the first 50 hours of
operation, and every 125 hours thereafter.
Change the hydraulic oil after the first 250 hours of operation, and every 600
hours thereafter, or sooner in accordance with the carrier manufacturers
specifications.
Section IV - Page # 4
Oil temperature should be between 100°F and 140°F during normal hammer
operation.
Oil contamination should be kept to NAS NO.9 class / ISO 20/18/15.
Field determination of contamination is as follows:
Place a sample of the base machine's hydraulic oil in a transparent container.
Also place a sample of unused oil in another transparent container. Compare
the two containers. If there is a visual difference in the color, the base
machine's oil is presumed to be contaminated.
GREASE
Spartan Equipment's Fx Series hydraulic breakers are equipped with one (1)
grease fitting. This fitting is located on the front bushing, down by the working
steel (refer to the illustration below). Lack of lubrication can cause failure of the
working steel, piston or shorten the life of the seals. An NLGI NO.2 grease is
recommended. The following is a list of the recommended greases:
SHELL ALVANIA EP2
ESSO LITHTAN EP2
MOBIL MOBILPLEX 48
The fronthead should be
lubricated every 2 - 3 hours of
operation. Grease more
frequently, if needed, but do
not over-load the tool with
grease.
When greasing the hammer,
hold it in an upright, vertical,
position, being sure that the
working steel is fully engaged
into the chuck.
Avoid getting rock or cement
chips into the fronthead when
replacing working steels.
Particles which may have
adhered to the grease can cause
scratches and scaring inside the
hammer. Section IV - Page # 5
BACKHEAD CHARGING PROCEDURE
To receive the optimum performance from the hydraulic breaker, care must be
taken to maintain the proper nitrogen charge in the backhead of the breaker. To assist with
this, Spartan Equipment can supply a charge kit as illustrated on the opposite page.
The following is a step-by-step procedure that should be used to properly charge
the backhead. (Note: These instructions are written for Spartan Equipment's charge kit. If
you are not using Spartan Equipment's charge kit, use the same procedure only disregard
the reference to item numbers.
STEP 1
STEP 2
STEP 3
STEP 4
STEP 5
STEP 6
STEP 7
STEP 8
STEP 9
STEP 10
STEP 11
The breaker should be charged at ambient temperature (not operated)
and in a horizontal position with the working steel all the way out.
The customer must supply a nitrogen tank complete with a regulator.
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN HANDLING PRESSURIZED VESSELS!!
Attach charge adapter (1) to swivel elbow (18). Be sure that O-ring (2) is
installed on charge adapter (1). The charge kit is shipped partially
assembled. Assemble as shown in the illustration. A charge adapter (1)
and O-ring (2) can also be found in the tool box included with the
hammer.
Connect hose assembly (15) to the regulator on your nitrogen tank.
Turn shut-off valve (12) clockwise until it is completely closed.
Connect the 0 - 200 PSI pressure gauge (11) and Q.D. coupler (9), to the
Q.D. nipple (8).
Adjust your regulator to its lowest setting before opening the valve on
your nitrogen tank. Open the valve on your tank and adjust your
regulator to the appropriate backhead charge.
(Refer to the table shown on the opposite page to select the appropriate charge.)
Remove the external plug located in the backhead charge port.
Insert the charge adapter (1) into the charge port. Push the charge
adapter (1) into the charge port until it is fully seated. It will be
necessary to hold the charge adapter in place until charging is
completed.
Open shut-off valve (12) to allow the gas to enter the backhead chamber.
Wait about 15 seconds while holding the charge adapter (1) into the charge
port. The pressure reading on gauge (11) should now be correct. If the
reading is not the proper charge pressure as shown in the table, adjust your
regulator accordingly.
Section IV - Page # 6

TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
Note: Some external box, plates, or weldments have been removed for clarity. This drawing is representative of a number of models and might not
match your hammer.
As a general rule, all bolts should be torqued in sets, so that the load is divided equally among any bolts that function as a group. Torques listed refer to lubricated threads. Apply anti-sieze compound to all threads, nuts, and washers prior to assembly. All bolts in a group should first be loosened, and then re-tightened in stages, alternately bringing opposing bolts up to the same torque level, until all bolts in the
group share the load equally. Continue in the same way, bringing all
bolts in that group up to the final torque level specified.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
If a problem occurs with the breaker, it is important to first get a flow and
pressure reading of the breaker circuit. To do this, plumb a flow meter and
pressure gauge into the pressure line going to the breaker, locate them as close to
the breaker as possible. Once the readings are taken, refer to the following list of
problems and possible causes:
Condition Problem Remedy
Does not hammer ... Control valve does not
operate.
Supply hoses have been reversed.

WORKING STEEL
Revised: July, 2010
Section V - Page # 1
WORKING STEEL To obtain the optimum performance from the breaker, it is important to
maintain the condition of the working steel. Worn working steel will reduce the
efficiency of the breaker.
After prolonged use, burrs can develop on the working steel. These burrs
should be removed with a grinder.
Burr grinding can produce sparks, and flying particles. Always
wear goggles, gloves, and suitable body protection.
Grinding sparks are an extreme fire danger.
The work should be performed well away from the hydraulic breaker and the carrier.
Be sure to remove all flammable materials from the work area.
The tip of the working steel can become deformed after a period of use.
When this happens, the tip should be re-shaped with a grinder. It is important to
note that if the tip is re-ground too many times, the hardened surface will be
removed causing the steel to wear faster. At this point, the working steel should be
replaced.
It is also important to maintain the proper clearance between the working
steel and the front cover. The maximum allowable clearance is 3/16". If this clearance
is too great, the piston will contact the working steel abnormally, resulting in
damage to the piston and/ or the working steel. When the clearance reaches 3/16", the
front bushing and/ or the working steel should be replaced.
Refer to the following pages labeled ''A GUIDE FOR PROPER USE AND CARE OF
WORKING STEEL" for further guidelines on maintaining the working steel.

WARNING II ANY REPAIRS OR MAINTENANCE TO THE BREAKER
SHOULD BE DONE IN A SAFE, OBSTRUCTION FREE AREA.

STEP 1 Using a press pin against the smaller side of the pin hole, hit the
press pin with a hammer to remove the spring pin.
I
Press Pin
STEP 2 After removing the spring pin, remove the rod pin by pushing it out
with the press pin.
Section V - Page # 3
Before installing the new working tool, the parts that have been removed should now be inspected. Any burrs or swelling that has occurred, should be removed with a grinder or the part should be
replaced.
STEP 4 Apply a coat of grease to the portion of the working tool that will be
inserted into the breaker body. Also apply a coat of grease to the rod
pin.
Rod Pin
STEP 5 Insert the working steel into the breaker. It is best to align the
retaining slot on the working tool with the rod pin hole before
installing it into the breaker.
STEP 6 Insert the rod pin into its slot.
• You should inspect the rod pin for wear prior to re-installing it. Do not re-use the pin if it shows excessive wear.
STEP 7 Re-install the spring pin.
Section V - Page # 4
A GUIDE FOR PROPER USE AND CARE OF
WORKING STEEL
All Spartan Rock Drill points are machined and hardened for maximum performance.
Care must be taken to maintain the tools original condition for optimum productivity and
life expectancy. It is not uncommon for an operator who is unfamiliar with using a
hammer to break a point. This is part of the learning experience.
Listed below are several methods to determine tool failure and will quickly aid in
warranty determination.
TOOL FAILURE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY
• Blank Firing or Free Running
This occurs when the tool is not in proper contact with the work, thus causing the
energy produced by the hammer to be concentrated on the tool retainer(s) and the
retainer slot(s) on the tool itself. Caution should be used to prevent the hammer from
sliding off slanted surfaces or when breaking through thin material.
• Worn-out Front Bushing(s) or Retainer pin(s)
Worn-out front bushing(s) will cause the tool to become misaligned inside the hammer.
This misalignment will cause uneven contact between the piston and tool, thus causing
stress to concentrate on one particular area of the tool. This can also cause the tool to
bind inside the hammer. Call your Spartan Rock Drill dealer for acceptable wear
allowances.
Worn-out retainer pints) will cause uneven loading on the pints) themselves, causing
failure of the tool or retainer pints). This will also cause excessive wear to the front
bushing(s).
• Metal-to-Metal Contact
Extreme caution should be used to avoid scratches or gouges
on the surface of the tool. These areas create a stress
concentration point, thus weakening the tool.
Another form of metal-to-metal contact is galling, which
usually occurs from the lack of lubrication. Special care
should be taken to keep the tool shank lubricated ever two (2) to three (3) hours.
Section V - Page # 5
• Prying
This is the most common cause of tool failure. It generally results in
any type of side pressure such as an incorrect breaking angle or from
using the tool to reposition material. The tool should not be used as a
pivot point when repositioning the carrier. The power generated by
the carrier will far exceed the strength of the tool.
• Corrosion
Tools should be greased and stored out of the weather. Corrosion
tends to accelerate the fatigue fractures of the tool.
• Mushrooming
Driving the tool into a hard material for a long period of time
generates an intense heat, indicated by a blue tone just above the point.
This will soften the steel and cause the point to fold over or mushroom
the end of the tool. Avoid hammering in one location for too long. If
material does not break after a short period (approximately 45 to 60
seconds), reposition the tool.
TOOL FAILURE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY
• Internal Material Flaw
This failure occurs when a foreign material is rolled into the steel
during the manufacturing process, causing an imperfection in the
grain. The result is an inherent weakness in the tool shank and
eventual breakage.

Spartan Rock Drill HydraRams are available with three (3) different types of
working steels. They are the moil, chisel and the blunt. Each of these working
steels has its own purpose as described below:
To obtain the maximum production from the breaker, it is important to select
the proper working steel. Consult your Spartan Rock Drill representative for
assistance in selecting the proper working steel for your application.
