1. Generally
HYCON demolition breakers are designed for long-term operation under difficult
working conditions. All vital components are made of first-class material and have
undergone tempering processes to ensure maximum life. A hydraulic breaker is
produced with small tolerances to obtain an efficient tool with high performance.
However, this makes heavy demands on the manufacture of the tool, and also
requires great care at repair and service work. Be careful not to damage the surface
of the inner components and to keep the hydraulic components clean. It is important
always to observe the tightening torques stated in the repair section.
2. Safety Precaution
•Only use the breaker in accordance with the local working regulations on allowed
working time based on breaker vibration level. Working with the breaker longer
than prescribed may damage the operator.
•In case of horizontal breaking or breaking above the head, always be aware of
material falling down.
•A fine jet of oil at pressure can penetrate the skin. It is therefore important never
to use your fingers to check for oil leaks and never to hold your face close to su-
spected leaks – use a piece of cardboard instead. If oil has penetrated the skin,
you should get medical treatment immediately.
•Never leave the breaker when connected to the powerpack.
•Always use correct chisel.
•Before connecting the breaker to the power source, always check that the chisel
retainer is in order to prevent the chisel from falling out of the nose part.
•Always use approved hoses. Contact your dealer, if necessary. Mount the hoses
correctly – the plastic cover is marked with ”P” and ”T”.
•The operator must make sure that there are no persons nearby when he starts
breaking. Flying pieces of broken material can cause severe injury.
•The operator must pay extra attention and show caution when working in difficult
working areas, such as slopes and other dangerous nature of the ground. Do not
reach too far with the breaker, but always maintain a good footing and keep your
balance.
•The operator must be properly trained in using the breaker or under supervision
of a qualified instructor.
