NOTES:
1. Hydraulic operating pressure maximum is inlet pressure at the hammer with the oil at
operating temperature and with the gas charge set at the hot operating pressure.
See CHECKING THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURES section in Service Manual.
2. Circuit relief pressure is at least 500 psi (35 bar) above hammer operating pressure.
3. Cold gas charge is the initial set with the hammer at ambient temperature.
4. Hot gas charge is checked after 1 to 2 hours of running and with a system oil temperature of
140° to 180°F (60° to 80°C). This is the preferred check.
5. Pressures listed are maximum. Use tolerance of minus 25 psi (2 bar).

HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION
NPK INSTALLATION KITS are available for virtually all compatible backhoe loaders,
excavators, and skid steers. Complete parts and instructions for the hydraulic
installation of the NPK HYDRAULIC HAMMER including valving and/or controls, hoses
and fittings, accumulators, boom and stick tubing, and clamps are provided.

HAMMER LINES
Typically, the pressure line (m3) is arranged on the left side of the boom and the return
line (m4) on the right side. Flow to the hammer is controlled from an auxiliary valve on
the carrier or from an NPK supplied valve. Hydraulic oil is routed back to the tank
through the carrier’s oil cooler and filter.

HAMMER CONTROL VALVE


NPK uses two general types of control systems, depending upon the carrier model:
1. CONTROL SYSTEM USING CARRIER AUXILIARY OR SPARE VALVE SECTION.
This type of installation utilizes an existing carrier valve. Any additional parts, such
as a mechanical linkage, hydraulic pilot control valve, flow control valves, etc., are
furnished in the NPK HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION KIT. Special hydraulic relief
cartridges are not required. The NPK HYDRAULIC HAMMER operating pressure is
self-regulating.

2. CONTROL SYSTEM USING THE NPK MULTIVALVE.


For carriers not equipped with a suitable auxiliary or spare valve section, the NPK
HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION KIT includes a solenoid operated, priority flow control
valve to operate the NPK HYDRAULIC HAMMER. The NPK MULTIVALVE is
specifically designed for the operation of boom mounted attachments.

NPK
HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION
ATTENTION PREVENTION OF CONTAMINATION
1. A hydraulic hammer is harder on oil than using a bucket, so the oil is apt to
deteriorate and breakdown sooner. Neglect of the hydraulic oil can not only damage
the hydraulic hammer but also cause problems in the carrier, which could result in
damaged components. Care should be taken to check for contamination of the oil
and to change it if it is found contaminated. Oil sampling at regular intervals is
highly recommended.

 When the hydraulic oil shows low viscosity and bubbles, this indicates that the oil
is deteriorated. If the oil is dark brown and gives off an offensive odor, it is
severely deteriorated. Change the oil immediately!

 When the oil is clouded, or the oil filter has become clogged, it indicates that the
oil is contaminated. Change the oil immediately!

 To change the contaminated hydraulic oil, drain the hydraulic system completely
and clean components. Do not mix new oil with the old.

2. Do not allow any contamination to mix with the oil. Take special care in preventing
contamination from entering the hydraulic system through the hose or tube
connection when changing the hydraulic hammer with the bucket.

3. Low oil level will cause heat build-up, resulting in deterioration of the oil. Also, it may
cause cavitation due to air mixing with the oil, leading to a damaged hydraulic
hammer and carrier components. Keep the oil at the proper level at all times.

4. Do not use the hydraulic hammer at an operating temperature higher than 180°F
(80°C). The proper operating oil temperature range is between 120°F (50°C) and
180°F (80°C). Since clogged cooler fins causes reduced efficiency of the cooler,
keep the cooler fins clean at all times. Check the hydraulic oil cooling system to be
sure it is working effectively. The use of a heat gun is the best way to evaluate if the
cooler is working properly.

5. Water in the hydraulic oil will lead to damage of the hydraulic hammer and carrier.
Drain off water and foreign matter from the hydraulic tank at specified intervals.
When out of service, the hydraulic hammer should be stored indoors.

CHANGING THE FILTER ELEMENT AND HYDRAULIC OIL


Change the filter element and hydraulic oil at the intervals described in the operation
manual of the excavator when using a hydraulic implement. Another method is to set
up an oil sampling schedule and change accordingly.

NPK
HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION
HYDRAULIC QUICK DISCONNECTS
NPK recommends against the use of non-NPK quick disconnects on
hydraulic circuits operating NPK Products.
1. The hydraulic pulsations caused by hydraulic hammer operating can cause internal
pieces of non-NPK quick disconnects to disintegrate. These pieces would migrate
into the hammer, causing damage.
2. If hydraulic quick disconnects are used, they should be capped when the hammer is
removed from the carrier to keep them clean. Contamination can get into the
hydraulic quick disconnect and can be flushed into the hammer and/or the hydraulic
system when re-connected. This, again, can cause damage.
3. Most quick disconnects create a restriction in the circuit. NPK hammers are not
backpressure sensitive, but restrictions cause unnecessary heating of the oil. Also,
the pressure required to operate the hammer, plus the restriction of the disconnects
may push an older, low pressure, carrier machine to the limit of its hydraulic system.
This would interfere with proper hammer operation. However, the NPK approved
quick disconnects are properly sized so that the hammer operation is not
affected.

HYDRAULIC QUICK DISCONNECTS
If hydraulic quick disconnects are used with the NPK hammer, it is recommended that
the following precautions be followed.

1. Periodic inspection of both male


(DXm) and female (DXf) ends is
recommended to ensure the
couplers are in good working
condition. Failure to inspect
couplers may result in pieces from
a damaged or failed coupler to
migrate into the hammer or parts of
the coupler returned to the
machine.

2. Check for dirt, dust, and debris on


both couplers before coupling.

3. Be sure that the couplers are


completely seated together (38).

4. When replacing couplers, be sure


that couplers are replaced as a set,
male and female. Do not use one
new end and one used end.

LUBRICATION
MANUAL GREASING PROCEDURE
Manual greasing procedure for hammers without an AUTO LUBE System.

1. Position the hammer in a vertical


position.

2. Raise the machine slightly (104) by


applying downforce on the demolition
tool pushing it all the way in. This
prevents grease from entering the
piston impact area.

3. Grease the hammer until grease


begins to come out between the tool
(HH) and lower tool bushing (G)
(approximately 40 – 70 pumps of
grease).

NOTE: USE A GOOD QUALITY EP #2 LITHIUM BASED GREASE WITH WEAR


INHIBITING ADDITIVES, SEE PAGES 16 and 17.

- 15 -
NPK
LUBRICATION
CORRECT GREASE AND GREASE INTERVALS
Proper hammer maintenance requires a sufficient supply of the correct grease to the
tool (chisel). The tool must be pressed against a hard surface until it stops up inside the
hammer. This prevents grease from entering piston impact area and ensures proper
distribution of grease between the tool and tool bushings.

GREASE INTERVALS
If the hammer is not connected to an Auto Lube system, see page 17, the hammer must
be greased at regular intervals to get the best life from the tool and tool bushings.
There are two ways to determine grease intervals:

First, grease the hammer at the beginning of the job until grease comes out between
the tool and the lower tool bushing. Run the hammer until the shank of the tool starts to
look dry. This determines the time interval for the greasing of this particular hammer on
this particular job. Typically, this is 1 to 4 hours. Also, note the amount of grease
needed to re-grease the tool. This gives you the amount of grease and how often it
must be applied. An example would be that a particular hammer, on a particular job,
requires half a tube of grease every 3 hours. This would be the greasing schedule you
would set up. If this hammer was moved to another job, another grease schedule may
have to be determined.

Second, if you can’t control the grease schedule, such as rental units, then have the
operator grease the hammer once every hour of hammer operation. Again, grease the
hammer until grease comes out between the tool and tool bushing. This is usually more
often than required, but is far cheaper than replacing prematurely worn tools and tool
bushings.

CORRECT GREASE
The type of grease used is very important. NPK recommends a lithium soap base EP
(Extreme Pressure) NLGI #2 Grease, with Moly (Molybdenum Disulfide) or other
surface protecting additives. A high drop point 500° F (260° C) grease is desirable.

There are many manufacturers of grease that meet NPK’s recommendations. NPK
does not endorse any one brand as being superior to another. If you or your customers
question a brand to be used, please call the NPK Service Department at 800-225-4379.

AUTO LUBE SYSTEMS


An automatic greasing system is recommended
to reduce hammer tool and tool bushing wear.
The NPK AUTO LUBE System is designed to
automatically provide a continuous supply of
grease to the hammer tool and tool bushing –
increasing tool and tool bushing life by reducing
wear. The AUTO LUBE pump is capable of
pumping EP2 grease in cold weather. The
pump output is adjustable according to the
requirements of the hammer model and to
compensate for tool bushing wear.

NPK GH series hammer models have a connection port (26) for an automatic greasing
system. Refer to the NPK AUTO LUBE Instruction Manual for details. If the AUTO
LUBE is not used, you can grease unit through fitting (30) as shown.

- 17 -
NPK
LUBRICATION
AUTO LUBE GREASE LINE PRE-FILLING
It is mandatory that the supply line from the Auto Lube main pump to the connection on
the hammer is primed with grease before it is used. Failure to do this will result in no
grease being administered to the hammer tool for two to three hours. This can and will
result in severe galling of the tool and tool bushing.
PRIMING THE GREASE LINE
1. Place the hammer (KK) in a vertical position, applying enough down force to push the
tool up into the hammer.
2. Turn the machine off.
3. Fill the NPK Auto Lube pump reservoir with a power greaser through the fill fitting on
the side of the pump, or from the top by removing the fill cover. Use a premium

LUBRICATION
LUBRICANT TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

TERM DEFINITION

ADHESIVE The ability of grease, gear lubricant or oil to cling to


metal.
ANTI WEAR AGENTS Used to help combat metal-to-metal contact, thus
reducing wear.
COHESIVE The ability of grease, gear lube or oil to cling to itself,
thus resisting tearing apart.
CONSISTENCY Consistency of grease is its hardness or firmness. It is
determined by the depth in millimeters to which the cone
of a penotrometer sinks into a sample under specified
conditions. Consistency of grease may be influenced by
the type and amount of thickener, viscosity of oil, working
and other factors.
CONTAMINATION Foreign material that could damage a part.
DROPPING POINT The minimum temperature at which the oil in a grease
subjected to heat begins to actually drip and breakdown.
EXTREME PRESSURE Additives that under extreme pressure form an adherent
AGENTS film on metal surfaces, thus forming a film of protection.
FILM STRENGTH Film strength is defined as the tendency of oil molecules
to cling together. It is the ability of those molecules to
resist separation under pressure between two metals and
to hold these metal surfaces apart.
FRICTION The resistance to fluid flow in a hydraulic system. (An
energy loss in terms of power output.)
GALLING Surface damage on mating, moving metal parts due to
friction. A severe form of adhesive wear.
LUBRICATION Use of a substance (grease, oil, etc.) to reduce friction
between parts or objects that move against each other.
NLGI A rating given to a grease from the National Lubricating
Grease Institute. This rating determines the hardness of
the grease and goes on from a 000 to a 6 rating. Most
greases are NLGI #2 rated.
OILINESS Oiliness is measured of the coefficient of friction of a
lubricant. Oiliness or lubricity depends on the adhering
characteristics of an oil. It is determined by the attraction
between the molecules of the oil and the molecules of
another material. Of two oils having the same viscosity
but different degrees of fluid friction, the one with the
lower friction index has the higher degree of oiliness.
PUMP A device which converts mechanical force into hydraulic
fluid power. Basic design types are gear, vane, and
piston units.

START-UP OPERATION
HAMMERS THAT ARE NEW, REBUILT, OR HAVE
BEEN INACTIVE
Before using a new hammer for the first time, the first time after rebuild, or a
hammer that has been inactive for a long period of time:
1. Check the nitrogen gas pressure.
The nitrogen gas pre-charge is factory checked before shipment. However, it is
recommended the pressure be checked before using the NPK hydraulic hammer for
the first time. See CHECKING THE GAS PRESSURE section for procedure.

2. At idle, raise the hammer off of the ground. Place hammer vertical and activate
the hammer circuit for 3 – 5 second intervals. Continue for an additional 3 – 4 times
to ensure that all the air has been purged from the hoses and hammer before first
use. Failure to do this could result in damage to internal components.

3. Place hammer firmly against material to be broken.


Operate the hammer in a vertical position for approximately 10 minutes at one-half
engine speed. Increase engine speed to three-quarters and continue operating at
this speed for another 10 to 20 minutes. Increase to full engine speed. Maintain
vertical position for the first hour of operation.

START-UP OPERATION
BEFORE STARTING THE HAMMER

PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND WARM UP


Before operating the NPK hydraulic hammer, be sure to perform the specified routine
inspection in the ROUTINE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE section of this manual.

Warm up the NPK hydraulic hammer, see below, and the carrier machine in accordance
with the machine manufacturer’s instruction manual. This is especially important during
cold weather operation.

DAILY START-UP PROCEDURE


Operate the NPK hydraulic hammer in the vertical position, at 1/2 engine throttle setting,
for about 1-2 minutes. During this period, inspect the NPK hydraulic hammer and
installation kit for leaks or loose connections.

Do not operate on a
slanted surface during
the start-up operation.

OPERATION
SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT OPERATE THE HAMMER WITHOUT AN IMPACT RESISTANT


CAB WINDOW OR SHIELD IN PLACE
BEWARE OF FLYING DEBRIS FROM THE HAMMER TOOL POINT
An impact resistant cab window or shield must be in place to protect the operator.

DO NOT USE THE HAMMER AS


A HOIST
The hammer is not intended to lift an
object. To do so, can be dangerous.

DO NOT TOUCH HOT TOOL


AFTER USING!

NPK
OPERATION
OPERATING TECHNIQUES & PRECAUTIONS

PRELOAD THE TOOL BEFORE


STARTING
Press the tip of the demolition tool
vertically against the object to be broken.
Be sure the object is stable before
activating the NPK HYDRAULIC
HAMMER.

APPLY DOWNFORCE ON THE


TOOL
Raise the front of the machine slightly
(104) by applying downforce on the
demolition tool.
Press the control lever or the foot pedal to
start the NPK HYDRAULIC HAMMER.

Applying excessive force to the


hammer will raise the carrier too high
and jolt the operator when the material
breaks. Let the NPK HYDRAULIC
HAMMER do the work.

AVOID BLANK HAMMERING


As soon as the material is broken,
release the control lever or pedal to
prevent unnecessary blank hammering.

Blank hammering is continued


hammer operation after the material is
broken. This will overheat the
hydraulic system and cause undue
wear.

The latest GH hammers have an anti-


blank fire feature. This prevents the
hammer from firing unless it has the
correct preload.

- 28 -
NPK
OPERATION
OPERATING TECHNIQUES & PRECAUTIONS
DO NOT SLANT HAMMER
For the most efficient demolition, align the direction of force (51) from the boom with the
penetration direction (52) of the tool (HH). Failure to do this decreases the transfer of
energy from the piston to the rock and increases the bending forces at the fulcrum of
the tool. This unnecessary added stress leads to the following problems:
1. Premature bushing wear and/or tool breakage.
2. Breakage of tie rods.
3. Breakage of bracket bolts.
4. Decrease in transfer of energy translates to reduced production.
When the tool binds from incorrect working angle, the sound of the hammer changes.

Keep the boom direction of


force (51) in the same direction
the tool is penetrating. Use the
boom cylinder to preload the
hammer (apply downforce),
and use the bucket and stick
cylinders for alignment. Keep
the tool tangent to the arc of
the boom (54).

- 29 -
NPK
OPERATION
OPERATING TECHNIQUES & PRECAUTIONS

DO NOT USE THE HAMMER


TOOL AS A PRY BAR
Excessive prying can cause
premature bushing wear and tool or
tie rod breakage. When hammering
materials that allow the tool to
penetrate before breaking, move the
hammer slightly fore and aft to create
a cone-shaped hole. The vented hole
allows trapped dust and heat to
escape, increases the tool penetration
rate into the material, and prevents
overheating the tool tip.

DO NOT HAMMER CONTINU-


OUSLY IN THE SAME
POSITION FOR MORE THAN
30 SECONDS
If the tool cannot break or penetrate
into the material after hammering in
the same position for 30 seconds,
change the working location.
Hammering in the same position for a
long time will reduce the working
efficiency, increase the hydraulic oil
temperature, overheat the tool tip and
accelerate tool wear.

ALWAYS WORK BY
BREAKING TO A FREE FACE
The material must have somewhere to
break to. Start at an edge.

LARGE OBJECTS
Do not use the hammer bracket for
purposes other than for what is was
intended.

AVOID OPERATING THE

OPERATION
OPERATING TECHNIQUES & PRECAUTIONS

DO NOT OPERATE HAMMER


UNDERWATER UNLESS
HAMMER HAS BEEN MODIFIED
WITH UNDERWATER KIT
Do not allow parts, other than the tool,
to be submerged in water. Underwater
operation will damage the hammer and
allow water to enter the hydraulic
system. The hammer can be modified
for underwater operation - contact NPK
at 800-225-4379 for more information.

DO NOT SUBMERGE A HOT


TOOL IN WATER!
The tip of the tool may be hot from
operation. Submerging in water can
cause the tip of the tool to become
brittle and break prematurely.

DO NOT ALLOW THE HAMMER


TOOL TO HIT THE BOOM
Use caution when tucking the hammer in
tight to the boom for transportation.

- 32 -
NPK
IMPACT ENERGY TRANSMISSION THROUGH
TOOLS
A hydraulic hammer converts hydraulic power to kinetic energy. The kinetic energy is
delivered by the hammer piston to the tool as an impact force.

Unlike a slowly transmitted force, such as the force with which a hydraulic cylinder
extends, the impact force produced by the piston when it hits the tool is transmitted
through the interior of the tool as a compression stress wave until it reaches the rock,
concrete, or other material that the tool is about to break. The compression wave speed
is equal to the speed of sound through steel, i.e., approximately 15,000 ft/sec.
Therefore, if the tool is three feet long, the impact force reaches the object to be broken
1/5000 (0.0002) second after the piston hits the tool.

Impact force is transmitted as stress waves through the tool.

- 33 -
NPK
IMPACT ENERGY TRANSMISSION THROUGH
TOOLS
IMPACT STRESS WAVES AT THE END OF THE TOOL

When the tool is in contact with the


material to be broken, most of the
compression stress waves are transferred
to the material, and the energy of the
compression waves then breaks the
material. However, not all the energy of
the compression waves is transmitted to
the material to be broken, part of it is
reconverted into reverse compression, or
tensile, waves that then travel back
through the tool.

When the tool is not in contact with the material to be broken, the energy of the
compression waves has nowhere to go and therefore, returns totally in the chisel as
tensile waves. This is referred to as a “blank hammer blow”, see page 28.

The compression waves and the tensile


waves travel in a complex manner in the
tool during hammer operation. While
these waves are gradually being
attenuated by the internal friction of the
tool and by the friction between the tool
and the tool holder bushings, the next
impact strikes the tool. Excessively heavy
contact between the tool and tool bushings
causes uneven stress concentrations.
This leads to premature tool failure, as
seen in later sections of this manual.

ROUTINE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
1. VISUAL INSPECTION
Detect a potential problem early.
FASTENERS
Inspect all fasteners. Retighten as necessary. Refer to HAMMER FASTENER
TORQUE section, page 56 and 57 for Top Bracket bolt torque.
WELDS
Check for cracks, repair as necessary.
HOSES AND TUBING
Check for oil leaks, loose clamps and hose abrasion.
HYDRAULIC OIL
MAINTAIN A CLEAN HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
If non-petroleum oil is used, contact NPK Service Department for compatibility.
Keep hoses clean and capped when dismounting or storing hammer.
Change oil and filters as recommended by carrier manufacturer. Periodic oil
sampling is recommended.
2. DEMOLITION TOOL LUBRICATION
Important: It is imperative that grease is maintained in the
tool bushing contact area at all times. This may require
hourly greasing depending on job conditions.
Important: The hammer must be in a vertical position with
downforce applied to push the tool all the way in. This
prevents grease from entering piston impact area. Pump
grease into hammer until grease is seen coming out
between the tool and bushing.
Use a good quality, high temperature EP#2 grease
containing anti-wear additives, see LUBRICATION
section.
If machine is equipped with an AUTOLUBE System, check
grease reservoir daily.

3. TOOL and TOOL BUSHING WEAR


Check the tool and tool bushings for damage, wear or deformation on a regular
weekly basis. Replace the tool and/or bushings when wear exceeds the maximum
clearance limit, see MAXIMUM TOOL TO TOOL BUSHING CLEARANCE section,
page 40.

Do not hardface or sharpen the tool point with a cutting torch. Excessive heat from
torching or welding causes embrittlement, breakage, and flying pieces. Re-sharpen
only with a surface grinder or milling machine using sufficient cooling.
Please consult your authorized NPK Dealer or NPK Service Department for additional
information.

TOOL BREAKAGE
Description of tool failures, causes, preventative measures, and application of warranty.

TOOL BREAKAGE DUE TO EXCESSIVE BENDING MOMENT


If the tool is subjected to excessive bending moment caused by slant hammering or
prying, the tool will break. Tool breaks will generally resemble one of the following
examples:

tb8. Starting point of crack that leads to breakage. tb9. Starting point of break.
tb10. Sudden break from instant overload condition, tb11. Galling
(face will look very dull gray).

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BROKEN SECTION


1. The starting point of a fatigue fracture is on the surface of the tool and located at the
front or rear side of the tool, with the hammer installed on the excavator and viewed
from the cab.

2. The tool has galled areas on its surface. The galling initiates a surface crack from
which the fatigue fracture starts. The stress cracks, combined with bending loads
and impact shock, can break the tool.

PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
1. Properly position the hammer so as not to develop a bending moment in the tool.

2. Apply sufficient grease to prevent the tool from developing cracks due to galling.
This will also assure longer tool bushing life.

WARRANTY
NPK Warranty does not apply to this type of failure.

TOOL BREAKAGE
TOOL BREAKAGE DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR OF THE TOOL
HOLDER BUSHINGS
If the hydraulic hammer is used with tool holder bushings worn beyond specifications,
the tool will be at an excessive angle to the piston at the moment of impact. The entire
force of the piston is concentrated in a small area of the impact head of the tool (Fig. 1).
This results in the impact head area being chipped or broken (Fig. 2 & 3). With the tool
at an angle, and in excessive side loading contact with the tool holder bushings, the
shock load traveling down the tool is unevenly concentrated (Fig. 1). This can result in
the tool breaking through the retaining pin slot (Fig. 4).

TOOL BREAKAGE
A. CHIPPING IN RETAINING PIN SLOT
The tool may become chipped at the upper end of the retaining pin slot where it
contacts the retaining pin. Free standing oversize rock may sometimes be broken with
only a few hammer blows. If the operator does not stop hammering immediately, the
tool will hit the retaining pin (blank hammering), and can chip the upper end of the
retaining pin slot.

PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
When the material is broken, stop operating the hammer immediately. Periodically
check the tool and grind smooth any chipped areas to prevent stress cracks.

B. DEFORMATION OF THE RETAINING PIN SLOT SIDES


The tool may become chipped or deformed in the area where it is in contact with the
retaining pin. As the tool breaks material, it will try to follow any fracture lines in the
material (Fig. 1). This causes a chisel point tool to twist in the tool holder. The retaining
pin limits how far the tool can twist. If this happens often enough, the pin contact area
of the tool can become chipped (Fig. 2) or deformed (Fig. 3).

Fig. 2

Fig. 1 Fig. 3

PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
The operator should place the chisel point in line with fractures or laminations in the
material, not at an angle. The tool should be checked periodically for chipped areas.
Grind smooth any chipped areas to prevent stress cracks in the tool.

NPK
TOOL BREAKAGE
C. DEFORMATION OF THE TOOL TIP

Hammering continuously in one position for over 30 seconds will overheat the tool tip. If
this is done repeatedly, the tip will lose temper and mushroom. Overheating wears the
tip faster and can allow the tip to chip.

PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
Move tool position if material is not broken after 30 seconds of hammering. If the
material still resists breaking, a larger hammer may be required.

- 52 -
NPK
TOOL BREAKAGE
D. CHIPPING OF A MOIL POINT TOOL TIP

Moil (“P”) tools are intended for use on concrete or soft rock. The use of moil tools on
hard rock may result in the point being chipped.

PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
Use a chisel point (“FX” or “FY”) tool or a larger size hammer.

E. CHIPPING OF A CHISEL TOOL TIP


Chisel tool tips may be chipped due to hammer being undersize for application.
Overheating tool by hammering for more than 30 seconds in one spot can cause
chipping.

PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
Use correct size hammer for job conditions. Do not hammer for more than 30 seconds
without moving hammer.

WARRANTY
NPK Warranty does not cover problems “A” through “E” above.

TOOL BREAKAGE
TEMPERATURE RELATED TOOL PROBLEMS

LOW TEMPERATURE
Metallic material becomes brittle in a low temperature environment and particularly
sensitive to impact stress.

PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
Warm the tool before starting to operate the hammer when temperature is below 32° F,
(0° C).

WARRANTY
NPK Warranty does not cover this type of failure.

EXCESSIVE SLANT HAMMERING


When constant slant hammering is performed while using boom downforce, the tool
may become deformed as shown in the picture below.

HIGH TEMPERATURE
When the tool is used in a high temperature environment, such as for slag removal from
a furnace, the tool may be deformed as shown in the picture below.

PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
Use compressed air to keep the tool cool enough not to deform.

WARRANTY
NPK Warranty does not cover this type of failure.

- 54 -
NPK
TOOL BREAKAGE
TOOL BREAKAGE DUE TO CORROSION
Corrosion on the tool surface causes stress concentrations in the corroded area and a
fatigue fracture can occur. These fractures, combined with impact stress, can lead to
tool breakage.

PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
After using the tool in salt water, after exposing it to a corrosive environment, or before
long term storage, be sure to rinse with fresh water. Dry the tool and coat it with grease
to protect it from corrosion.

WARRANTY
NPK Warranty does not cover this type of failure.

TOOL BREAKAGE DUE TO DEFECTIVE MATERIAL


If metal fatigue originates from the interior, not the exterior, the material has some
defect and fatigue will break the tool. The picture below illustrates the broken section.
The starting point of breakage (tb9) is inside the tool, not on the surface.

WARRANTY
NPK Warranty does cover this type of failure.

GAS CHARGE
NITROGEN GAS PRESSURE
The nitrogen gas pressure must be measured with no preload on the tool. Remove the
tool; or position the hammer with the tool fully extended against the tool retaining pin.
The hammer must not be resting vertical on the tool. The gas pressure in the hammer
will vary according to the gas temperature.
PREFERRED METHOD
The preferred method to measure or charge the nitrogen gas pressure is with the
hydraulic system temperature stabilized at maximum operating temperature. The chart
showing values for “Operating Temperature” should be used, see below.
ALTERNATE METHOD
The nitrogen gas pressure can be measured or charged at ambient temperature (cold),
before operating the hammer. See the chart “Ambient Temperature” below.

DO NOT OVERCHARGE THE HAMMER!


Exceeding the gas pre-charge specifications can result in damaging hammer
components. The NPK WARRANTY does not cover failures resulting from exceeding
the specified nitrogen gas pressure.
