Hydraulic Hammer Pump
21A-30003-A00
Form 402956
Pump Operation
The pump operates simultaneously with the hammer.
Usually the carrier (excavator, back hoe or skid steer) has a
foot pedal to operate the hammer. Each time the operator of
the carrier starts the hammer pushing the pedal, the pump
will make one stroke to dispense grease to the point of
lubrication. When operator stops the hammer, to reposition
or to start new work, the hydraulic pressure to the pump must
be vented and the springs (8, 9, and 10) will return the pump
plunger (6) into the initial position for the next lubrication
cycle. For proper pump operation, the inlet hydraulic back
pressure in the connecting hose has to be below 200 psig
(14 bar). As plunger opens the grease inlet port, grease
flows into the cavity due to vacuum in the cavity and the
pressure exerted on the grease by the cartridge follower
spring (see Illustration 1).
Changing Pump Output
Pump is shipped with the metering plug (23) part number
270801, for minimum grease output - 0.018 in³ (0.3 cm³).
The output of the pump can be increased by changing the
metering plug (23):
-P/N 270802 -0.036 in³ (0.6 cm³)
-P/N 270803 -0.048 in³ (0.8 cm³)
-P/N 270804 -0.060 in³ (1.0 cm³)
-P/N 270805 -0.072 in³ (1.2 cm³)
Installing the Pump
The pump should be installed directly on the hammer or
gripper/crusher. Preferable mounting of the pump is
cartridge housing (28) in the upright position, but it may be
mounted in a horizontal position as well. Make sure to
allow sufficient space for cartridge removal to refill and
pump servicing. Mount in area where the pump indicator
cap (18) will be visible to monitor cartridge lubricant level.
1. Use two 1/2 in. (12 mm.) bolts to securely mount the
pump on an even and solid surface of the hammer. If
necessary, fabricate a mounting bracket.
2. Connect hydraulic power supply to the pump inlet (see
Illustration 2). Use appropriate high pressure hose.
3. Fill the pump with grease. (See Filling Pump with
Grease and Air Purging instructions.)
4. Attach the lubricant supply hose to the pump outlet.
5. Prime the supply hose with grease.
6. Connect lubricant supply hose to the lubrication point.
Filling Pump with Grease
Removing Empty Cartridge
1. Pull back on follower handle until the follower rod is fully
extended and latch the follower rod groove into the slot
on the tube cap.
2. Unscrew Grease Cartridge Housing (28) from Pump
Head (11).
3. Carefully release follower handle to eject empty
cartridge from container tube.
Installing Grease Cartridge
1. Visually check follower seal lip direction before loading a
new cartridge. The follower seal lip must be directed
toward the follower handle for cartridge loading. See
Illustration 1. To change direction of the follower seal,
unscrew tube cap from container tube and pull on handle
to remove follower seal from tube. Flip follower seal over
and re-assemble.
2. Pull back on follower handle and latch the follower rod
groove into the slot on the tube cap.
3. Remove the plastic cap from the grease cartridge and
insert cartridge into container tube.
4. Remove the pull tab from grease cartridge and screw
Grease Cartridge Housing (28) into Pump Head (11).
5. Release follower rod from slot. Purge air from pump. See
air purging instructions.
Manual (Bulk) Filling
1. Unscrew Grease Cartridge Housing (28) from Pump
Head (11).
2. The follower seal lip must be directed toward the pump
head when cartridges are not used. To change direction of
follower, unscrew tube cap from container tube and pull
on handle to remove follower from tube. Flip follower seal
over and re-assemble.
3. Pack container tube follower end with grease to eliminate
air pocket.
4. Dip packed end of the container tube about one inch into
bulk container.
5. Slowly pull follower handle back while gradually pushing
container tube deeper into grease.
6. When follower rod is fully extended pull sideways to latch
it into slot in tube cap.
7. Wipe excess grease from outside of container tube.
8. Screw Grease Cartridge Housing (28) into Pump Head
(11).
9. Release follower rod from slot. Purge air from pump. See
air purging instructions.
Air Purging
1. Engage the follower rod with the follower by lightly pulling
up and rotating the follower handle.
2. Push down on follower handle while pressing button on
Vent Valve (12) to force any air pockets out of Pump Head
(11).
3. Wipe excess grease from Vent Valve (12).
