Safety Information – [cont’d]
Operational Safety Program
The safe and efficient use of the Allied equipment
depends upon proper installation, operation,
maintenance and repair. Operational safety programs
must encompass all of these elements.
Accident prevention through operational safety
programs are most effective when the equipment
owner further develops the program by taking into
account his own experience in using and maintaining
equipment.
Developing such programs will help minimize
equipment downtime, while maximizing service life
and performance. Most importantly, it will minimize
the risk of personal injuries.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Personnel operating or nearby the equipment that
may be exposed to the hazard of falling, flying and
splashing objects, or exposed to harmful dusts,
fumes, mists, vapors, or gases shall use the
particular personal protection equipment (PPE)
necessary to protect them from the hazard. Such
PPE may include safety eyewear, face shield,
hearing protection, safety footwear, gloves, and dust
mask. Supervisors shall review proper PPE selection
and ensure PPE is made available to personnel.
Personnel are responsible for wearing PPE as
directed by the supervisor.
Protective Equipment - Guarding
Allied equipment designed with guards shall have
guards in place when equipment is in use. Guards
are fitted to the equipment to protect against unsafe
situations that could not be eliminated through design
measures. Where it was not possible to prevent an
unsafe situation by means of a guard, safety
messages appear on the equipment, warning
personnel of a hazardous condition.
Guards shall not be removed unless for the purpose
of inspection and service of components. All guards
must be reinstalled after service or adjustments are
completed. Do not operate the Allied equipment
without guards installed.
Additional guarding, not included with the Allied
equipment, is necessary at the operator’s station to
protect the operator and other nearby personnel
against flying debris from material being cut or
demolished. Do not handle, demolish or cut material
overhead without proper guards installed.
To prevent accidental start up, the control switch
shall be located in a protected area that is guarded
and makes it difficult to accidently operate the
equipment.
Unapproved Use or Modifications
In order to provide and maintain efficient operation
with reliable service, while ensuring operator safety,
the Allied equipment may not be used for any other
purpose other than, for which it was intended. Use of
the Allied equipment, other than those cited in this
manual, may place personnel at risk of injury and/or
may subject the equipment to damage.
When making repairs, use only the manufacturer's
genuine parts. Substitute parts may not meet the
required standards for fit and quality, or may impair
function, safety and performance. The Allied
equipment shall not be modified or used in
unapproved applications unless written consent is
received from the Allied Engineering Department.

4.0 Product Information
4.1 Description and Typical Applications
The Allied Breaker is a hydraulic powered impact
breaker designed for mounting on mobile equipment
with hydraulic booms, such as rubber tired or track-
type construction vehicles.
The breaker is suited for many types of construction
and mining applications including -
Clearance Work: Demolition of buildings, bridges,
reinforced foundations etc.
Trenching: Breaking trenches out of rocky and
frozen ground.
Mining and Quarrying Applications: Demolishing
and leveling quarry rock, breaking oversized
minerals and other rock-like raw materials.
Excavation of rock from trenches, foundations
and tunneling.
Underwater: Demolition and deepening of
shipping channels. (Requires conversion from
standard type before underwater use!)
Recycling: Breakup of "skulls" from the steel
industry.
4.2 Familiarization of Components
Fig 4-1 Main Components of Hydraulic Breaker
4.3 Principle of Operation
Fig 4-2 Cutaway View of Breaker Assembly
The Breaker is not self-powered. Performance
relies on a capable host machine that's equipped
with a hydraulic circuit. Within the hydraulic
circuit, an ON/OFF valve is used to control flow in
one direction to the Breaker. The valve will be
managed with a momentary switch located inside
the operator’s cab within easy reach of the
operator.
With the valve ON, supply oil from the host
machine flows to the [IN] port on the breaker. Oil
is blocked from entering the breaker unless
sufficient contact pressure is applied on the tool
to push the piston up and out of the brake
position.
Located on the breaker is the operating valve. Oil
is directed by this valve to the lower end of the
cylinder. The first half of the cycle begins when
oil, under pressure, raises the piston. As the
piston strokes upwards, oil in the upper cylinder
is expelled through the [OUT] port and returned
back to the machine.
The breaker is equipped with a gas-charged
accumulator. Inside this self-contained pressure
vessel is a pair of expansible chambers divided
by an elastic membrane. The top chamber is pre-
charged with nitrogen gas (N2). The bottom
chamber will receive, store and discharge
pressurized oil.

4.0 Product Information –[cont’d]
As the piston nears the top of its stroke, signal
ports inside the cylinder become pressurized and
shift the operating valve closed. Oil is blocked
from exiting and the upper end of the cylinder
becomes pressurized.
The final half of the cycle begins with the piston
at the top if its stroke. The force from the
pressurized oil from the host machine combines
with the pressurized oil discharged stored in the
accumulator. The piston is driven downward until
it impacts the tool.
The cycle is continuous without interruption until
the machine operator releases the momentary
switch controlling the ON/OFF valve.

5.0 Breaker Selection
5.1 Breaker Selection - General
When selecting a breaker, key points to consider
include –
Production rate (Material strength)
Lifting capacity of machine
Hydraulic power of machine
The size of the breaker is typically dictated by the job
requirements, but the size must also be compatible
with the carrier on which it will be mounted.
For optimum productivity, match the size of the
breaker to the job. Materials are fractured by two
methods – Penetrative and Impact. With penetrative
breaking, blows from the piston drive the tool into the
material and wedge it apart. With impact breaking,
blows from the piston generate a compressive force
that squeezes the material. When the material's
strength is exceeded, it fractures.
Be careful not to undersize the breaker in hard
material. It's important that the material absorb all of
the energy (mechanical stress wave). Problems arise
when these undesirable waves of energy are
reflected back into the breaker.
Ideally, it should take 3- 5 seconds to fracture the
material. When working in extremely hard materials,
undersized breakers will be subjected to longer
running cycles. This negatively impacts production,
component longevity and reliability. Continuous
running beyond 15 seconds will generate unwanted
heat at the tip of the tool. Attention to wear parts,
such as bushings and tools, will need to be more
frequent. The machine’s service intervals will also
require extra attention.
Reaching optimal production rates requires efficient
interaction between the operator and machine. A
machine that is undersized will force the operator to
work at a slower pace to keep the machine stable. An
undersized machine also reduces the size of the
material it can shuffle when repositioning materials.
Allied breakers are assigned a recommended carrier
weight range. On a general level, if the breaker falls
within this range, it's regarded as a good match.
To ensure the carrier can safely handle the weight of
the breaker, always consult the specifications in the
manual provided by the carrier manufacturer. Factors
such as boom and stick length, undercarriage and
tracks, counterweights, etc., all affect the lifting
capacity of the carrier. Check the machine for any
modifications and also take into account any add-ons
such as a quick attach coupler.
Next, review the hydraulic specifications of the carrier
and breaker. All hydraulic breakers are designed to
provide optimum performance with reliable service
life at a specific oil pressure and flow range. For a
combination to be successful, the circuit must be in
good working condition and able to deliver adequate
flow and pressure with minimal heat generation and
power loss.
Before the breaker is used, complete a performance
evaluation of the hydraulic circuit. These test results
will confirm if the hydraulic circuit is calibrated and set
in accordance to the specifications of the breaker.
Tools required for testing the oil flow, operating
pressure and back pressure include a flow meter and
pressure gages. An overview of the testing
procedure, along with a form to record the results of
the flow test, can be found in the Technical Data
section in this manual. Compare test results with the
specifications of the breaker. Make all necessary
adjustments.
5.2 Auxiliary Circuit and Conversion Kits
CAUTION
Equipment damage from improper oil
flow or pressure. Accurate calibration
of the hydraulic circuit is important for
reliable operation.
Hydraulic circuits differ between machines. Only
qualified personnel, having knowledge of the
machine’s systems, proper test equipment and tools
should perform conversion set-up and adjustments.
Work tools, such as Breakers, are not self-powered.
Their performance is reliant upon the hydraulic power
of the host machine. The hydraulic power it provides
to the breaker must meet all of the requirements
specified in the technical data section of this manual.
Most machines will require some degree of
conversion to make use of their hydraulic power. A
hydraulic circuit, capable of producing flow and
pressure in one direction is needed to operate a
breaker.

5.0 Breaker Selection – [cont’d]
Conversions to machines equipped with a factory or
dealer installed auxiliary circuit may require little more
than minor adjustments to flow and pressure settings.
Follow the machine manufacturer’s instructions when
making any adjustments.
If the machine is not equipped with a hydraulic circuit,
a conversion kit, from Allied, can be installed. When
necessary, Allied conversion kits include the Allied
"AC" series valves. These are solenoid-operated
valves that control flow and pressure.

The process of selecting the right breaker must
consider the type of work to be done. This includes
any special needs such as required modifications
when working in underwater applications
Requests for further information or assistance with
breaker selection should be directed to your Allied
dealer or by contacting the Allied Sales or Product /
Technical Support Departments.
