irreversible lung disease that can be fatal, cancer,
birth defects, and/or skin inflammation).
Some dusts and fumes created by drilling,
breaking, hammering, sawing, grinding and other
construction activities contain substances known to
the State of California and other authorities to
cause respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects, or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of such
substances are:
•Crystalline silica, cement, and other masonry
products.
•Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
rubber.
•Lead from lead-based paints.
Dust and fumes in the air can be invisible to the
naked eye, so do not rely on eye sight to
determine if there is dust or fumes in the air.
To reduce the risk of exposure to dust and fumes,
do all of the following:
►Perform site-specific risk assessment. The risk
assessment should include dust and fumes
created by the use of the machine and the
potential for disturbing existing dust.
►Use proper engineering controls to minimize the
amount of dust and fumes in the air and to
minimize build-up on equipment, surfaces,
clothing, and body parts. Examples of controls
include: exhaust ventilation and dust collection
systems, water sprays, and wet drilling. Control
dusts and fumes at the source where possible.
Make sure that controls are properly installed,
maintained and correctly used.
►Wear, maintain and correctly use respiratory
protection as instructed by your employer and
as required by occupational health and safety
regulations. The respiratory protection must be
effective for the type of substance at issue (and
if applicable, approved by relevant
governmental authority).
►Work in a well ventilated area.
►If the machine has an exhaust, direct the
exhaust so as to reduce disturbance of dust in a
dust filled environment.
►Operate and maintain the machine as
recommended in the operating and safety
instructions

with straps.
Observe all the applicable national and regional
regulations on securing loads.
Installation
Before installing the hydraulic breaker on the
carrier or operating it, read the operation manual
and safety instructions provided by the carrier
manufacturer. Follow all instructions.
The carrier must have the appropriate hydraulic
system for operation of the breaker.
If the carrier is too large for the hydraulic breaker it
may lead to broken working tools and increased
wear. See "Technical data" for choosing suitable
carrier.
The safety equipment in the hydraulic system must
be checked for quality (CE mark, etc.), suitability
and functionability by a professional or authorised
supervisor before use.
Hoses and connections
WARNING Whipping hydraulic hose
Hydraulic hoses under pressure can whip
uncontrollably if screws loosen or are loosened. A
whipping hydraulic hose can cause severe injuries.
►Depressurize the hydraulic system before
loosening the connection of a hydraulic hose.
►Tighten the nuts on the connections of the
hydraulic hoses to the required torque.
Type of nipple: ORFS standard nipple. The nipple
dimensions can be found in the Spare parts list.
The quality of the hydraulic hoses should be 2SC
(according to EN 857) or better when connecting
the breaker to the carrier. If quick couplings are to
be used, we recommend using the 'Flat Face'
quick coupling. This type is sturdy and easy to
clean. The quick coupling pressure class must
agree with the carrier's working pressure.
Always clean the quick couplings before mounting
or dismounting. Always plug hoses and hose
nipples with tight and clean end caps when
dismounting.

are connected with an additional connection
nipple, another tightening torques must be used.
Hydraulic oil
Normally the type of hydraulic oil the carrier is
using also works for the hydraulic breaker. When a
hydraulic breaker is connected to the carrier, the
hydraulic oil will get dirty faster. Check and follow
the carrier's instructions for changing oil and oil
filter. It is common to change the oil filter more
frequent when a hydraulic breaker is installed.
SB hydraulic breakers are equipped with an oil
drainage plug to drain all oil before dismounting.
This is to reduce the risk of spilling oil.
NOTICE When the SB breaker is delivered it
contains some mineral based hydraulic oil. Before
connecting to the carrier's hydraulic system, check
which type of hydraulic oil the carrier is using.
Mixing different types of hydraulic oil may destroy
the lubrication quality which can lead to machine
damage.
In order to protect the environment we recommend
the use of biologically degradable hydraulic oil.
Viscosity
Viscosity (permitted) 15-100 cSt
NOTICE Always use clean oil and filling
equipment.
Assembly
Circulate the hydraulic oil before connecting the
hydraulic breaker. This is to make sure that the
hydraulic oil is clean. Use the same routine when
changing the hydraulic oil hose. For further
information see section "Hydraulic oil".
1. Connect the pressure and return hoses.
2. Run the hydraulic oil through the carrier's oil
filter for approximately 3 minutes to make sure
that the hoses are clean.
WARNING Falling breaker can cause
injuries
►Place the breaker in a safe position where it
can not fall over and cause damage.
Preparation
1. Place the breaker in a position where it is easy
and safe to mount the adapter plate.
NOTICE Mount the breaker so that the
accumulator faces the operator's cabin, to
reduce the risk of accumulator damage.
Mounting the adapter plate

Pressure adjustment
The hydraulic breaker is equipped with a pressure
relief valve which secures the breaker. The
operating pressure of the machine (max 150 bar)
is checked and adjusted by a pressure gauge
while operating the hydraulic breaker.
◆If the operating pressure is more than 150 bar
the pressure must be decreased. Reduce the
oil flow from the carrier until the pressure is
down to 150 bar. This adjustment is important
to ensure that the built in pressure relief valve in
the breaker does not open and leak oil back to
the tank and create heating problems.
◆If the operating pressure is between 130–150
bar, normally no adjustment is needed.
◆If the carrier's oil flow is too low to retain an
acceptable operating pressure the restrictor in
the breaker needs to be changed. See flow
diagrams in "Technical data" to choose the best
restrictor for your application.
Position the hydraulic breaker vertically towards
solid bedrock or similar to adjust the pressure
using a pressure gauge.
Water flushing
The hydraulic breaker is prepared for water
flushing, this function is to bind the dust when
performing demolition operations.
When connecting water flushing the plug in the
front of the breaker must be exchanged with a
water nozzle. See the Spare parts list for ordering
a new water nozzle.
Use a ¼ in. hydraulic hose with a JIC connection
as a proper water hose. Contact your nearest
authorised workshop for further instructions.
NOTICE It is recommended to use water flushing
to reduce the wear on the hydraulic breaker during
tunnel and dust-intensive applications.

with step 4 - 8.
Operation
NOTICE The hydraulic breaker or the working
tool is not to be used as a lifting device. When
lifting heavy components use the hook on the
carrier arm.
Preparation before breaking
Operating temperatures
The operating temperatures of the hydraulic
breaker are between -20ºC (-4ºF) and +80ºC
(+176ºF).
CAUTION Temperature hazard
The hydraulic breaker and the hydraulic oil system
of the carrier can be damaged if the hydraulic
breaker is used at higher or lower temperatures.
►Only start the hydraulic breaker when the
hydraulic oil has reached the proper operating
temperature.
►If the ambient temperature is below –20ºC
(-4ºF), you must warm up the working tool and
the hydraulic breaker before use.
►If the oil temperature exceeds +80ºC (+176ºF),
you must not use the hydraulic breaker as the
oil quality becomes inadequate which severely
shortens the life time of seals and O-rings.
Engine rpm
Too high engine rpm only results in increased fuel
consumption and increased oil temperature. Adapt
the engine rpm to the recommended value to give
the correct operating oil flow.
Operating
Risk area
Before starting the hydraulic breaker, make sure
that no persons are in the risk area, 20 meters
both horizontally and vertically from the hydraulic
breaker.

◆Never run the hydraulic breaker longer then 15
seconds on the same spot. Move the working
tool to a new position if the object does not
break.
◆Never bend with the working tool.
◆Use the correct feed pressure. When the feed
pressure is correct the hydraulic breaker is
working at its best and the vibrations are at a
minimum. Also the wear on the bushing and
inserted tool is kept to a minimum.
◆Listen to the sound from the hydraulic breaker.
The sound changes if there is any bending
between the working tool and bushing.
◆Never run the breaker with the boom cylinders
at their end positions. It may cause damage to
the carrier.
◆Avoid idling strokes; it causes wear on both
working tool and tool retainers.
◆The hydraulic breaker or the working tool is not
to be used as a lifting device. When lifting
heavy components use the hook on the carrier
arm.
◆Never use the hydraulic breaker as a sledge
hammer to demolish material.

Breaking under water
Hydraulic breakers can be used for operating
under water.
bar
1.5-2
NOTICE When operating under water the
hydraulic breaker must be fed with compressed air
to keep the area between the piston and the
inserted tool free from water. If the area between
the piston and the inserted tool gets filled with
water, it may penetrate into the hydraulic oil system
when the hydraulic breaker is started.
The air pressure must be 1.5-2 bar at the air inlet
on the breaker and the air consumption can be
found in "Technical data". Suitable air hose is a 1⁄4
in. hydraulic hose with JIC connection. Contact
your nearest authorised workshop for further
instructions.
Heavy duty operation
The hydraulic breakers SB 302 Tunnel and SB 452
Tunnel are specially suited for heavy duty
operations such as scaling in tunnelling and
underground applications. The Tunnel breakers
are equipped with water nozzles (A).
A
Use a permanent water flushing and air supply as
standard to minimize wear and enable dust binding
during operation. See "Hoses and connections" for
information about connecting utilities.
Other breakers in the SB series, with the exception
of SB 52 and SB 102, can be retrofitted with water
nozzles. More information about water nozzles can
be found in the Spare parts list.
Special attention should be taken to ensure proper
lubrication and maintenance during heavy duty
operation. The use of a permanent lubrication
system or the ContiLube™ II micro is
recommended.
Special applications
NOTICE Always consult the Customer Center /
Dealer in your area in case of special applications-
tunnelling, high thermal load and underwater
application.
You can contact your nearest authorised workshop
for further instructions.
Maintenance
It is essential that regular maintenance is
performed to maintain the breakers maximum
efficiency.
Equipment that is insufficiently maintained can be
dangerous for both the operator and persons near
the breaker. Make sure that regular maintenance
routines with lubrication are followed to keep the
equipment safe and efficient.

Cleaning
NOTICE Environmental damage due to polluted
water
Hydraulic oil and chisel paste are environmentally
harmful and must not penetrate the ground or
enter the water table or water supplies.
◆Collect the water used for cleaning if it has
been contaminated by hydraulic oil and chisel
paste.
◆Dispose of the water in accordance with the
applicable regulations to avoid environmental
hazards.
Every second hour
Regularly lubricate the working tool, the tool
retainer and the bushings.
Lubricating with a grease gun
WARNING Hot working tool during
operation and a period of time after use.
►Avoid contact with the working tool.
WARNING Hot hydraulic breaker during
operation and a period of time after use.
►Avoid contact with the hydraulic breaker.
CAUTION Skin eczema
Grease can cause eczema if it comes in contact
with the skin.
►Avoid getting grease on your hands. Wash
thoroughly after contact.
1. Press the working tool all the way into the
breaker up to the stop (A). Otherwise the space
between the top of the working tool and the
piston will be filled with grease, and damage
can occur to seals, piston, and cylinder.
A
2. Lubricate the working tool's shank plentifully
during all upward operations. The bushing and
the working tool must be lubricated so
frequently that dirt cannot penetrate into the
hydraulic breaker.
When the working tool is exposed to high pressure
and high temperatures a standard type of grease
will melt and run. To avoid this always use Epiroc
chisel paste.
Central lubrication system
We recommend Epiroc's central lubrication
system. When this system is fitted on the carrier,
grease is pumped continuously from a lubrication
container on the carrier to the hydraulic breaker
when the hydraulic breaker is activated. This
increases the life of the tool bushings and working
tools considerably.
Every day
◆Check tool retainers and lock pins for damage,
change if necessary.
◆Check that hoses, couplings, and accumulator
are in a good condition, change if necessary.
◆Check that bolts and connections are free from
damage and properly tightened, change if
damaged. See tightening torques in the spare
parts list.
◆Refill the central lubricating system.
◆Check that wear plate and bolts are free from
damage, change if necessary.
Every week
◆Clean the hydraulic breaker carefully.
◆Check the wear bushing's wear and maximum
inner wear limits.
A
The wear bushing must be replaced when the
inner diameter (A) has reached its maximum
wear limit, see section "Wear limits" and
"Replacing the working tool bushing".
