WARNING

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.


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.

The following is a step-by-step procedure for mounting and dismounting a hydraulic

breaker:

MOUNTING

STEP 1

STEP 2

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.


DISMOUNTING

STEP 1

STEP 2

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.


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.


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.


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.


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.


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.


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:

Fluid level and contamination of hydraulic oil

Oil Reservoir, Filters

If fluid level is low, fill per manufacturer's specifications

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.


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.


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.


BACKHEAD CHARGING PROCEDURE

STEP 12 Once the correct pressure reading is achieved, turn the shut-off valve

(12) clockwise until it is fully closed.

Quickly remove the charge adapter (1) from the charge port. Replace the

plug into the charge port.

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.

SECTION V

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.


REPLACING WORKING STEEL

WARNING II ANY REPAIRS OR MAINTENANCE TO THE BREAKER

SHOULD BE DONE IN A SAFE, OBSTRUCTION FREE AREA.

Spring pin

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.


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.


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.


• 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.


FATIGUE FAILURE

MUSHROOMING

INTERNAL MATERIAL

FLAW

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.
