— Periodic inspections, the appropriate grease, proper storage and adhering to lubrication intervals can lower hydraulic breaker attachment ownership costs.

 — Understanding when to change your hydraulic fluid is crucial for keeping your machinery in good shape and avoiding costly repairs. Regular fluid analysis can help determine if your fluid has become contaminated, overheated or degraded over time.

Oil viscosity largely determines the maximum and minimum oil temperatures within which the hydraulic system can safely operate. If you use oil with a viscosity that's too high for the climate in which the machine must operate, the oil won't flow properly or lubricate adequately during cold start.

Hydraulic Force: High-pressure oil from the excavator's hydraulic system enters the breaker and pushes against the lower working surface of the piston head. This force propels the piston upwards. Compression and Sealing: As the piston ascends, it closes the outlet gap in the upper position of the cylinder.

 — To maximize operating time and protect hydraulic hoses, look for hydraulic hoses that are standard lengths for each of your machines. Tip No. 4: Grease your attachment. Lubricating the hydraulic breaker and clearing the tool bushing area of debris is the most important maintenance task.

Hydraulic ball valves and quick couplers may be a source of erratic performance and/or cause a rise in hydraulic temperature. Ensure they are open, in good condition, and not leaking oil. Continuously check for oil leaks and any rise in the oil temperature. Excessive oil leakage down the tool.

The first thing to keep in mind is that hydraulic oil should only be changed when either the base oil has become degraded or its additives have become depleted. Which means it should NOT be changed on an arbitrary number of hours in service.

of the hydraulic oil must never exceed 80ºC. If higher temperatures are measured in the tank, an oil cooler must be fitted. • At temperatures lower than minus 20ºC, the breaker should not be operated with cold hydraulic oil, the seals in the Thebreaker may be damaged. Warm the engine up and move the boom around to raise oil

 — Self-destruction begins the moment you put a hydraulic breaker in service. No hammer should go onto an excavator without being flow tested to make sure it is providing oil at the correct gallons per minute, operating pressure, and relief without exceeding allowable backpressure.

 — If you are using a hydraulic breaker that needs to be manually greased, make sure to follow manufacturer recommendations — typically every 1 to 2 hours — to reduce buildup, tool wear...
