Check valves in the hydraulic system may allow
pressure to exist in the hydraulic lines after the
engine has been stopped. Pressure must be re-
lieved prior to servicing the components of the
hydraulic system. Failure to relieve pressure prior
to servicing may result in personal injury.
Personal injury or death can result from escaping
fluid under pressure.
Escaping fluid under pressure, even a very small
pin-hole size leak, can penetrate body tissue and
cause serious injury and possible death. If fluid is
injected into your skin, it must be treated immedi-
ately by a doctor familiar with this type of injury.
Always use a board or cardboard when checking
for a leak.
Note: Ensure that the mounting bracket is compatible
with the host machine. Ensure that the hydraulic
hammer is compatible with the host machine. Consult
your Cat dealer for more information.
Note: If the host machine is equipped with a quick
coupler, consult the Operation and Maintenance

10. Do not strike in one spot for more than 15
seconds at a time. If the object does not break,
stop the hammer and change the position of the
hammer tool. If the hammer tool does not
penetrate the object, stop the hammer and change
the position of the hammer tool. When you operate
the hammer too long in one location, stone dust is
formed under the hammer tool. Stone dust will
dampen the effect of impact on the object. Stone
dust will also produce heat.
Note: Listen to the sound of the hammer while you
are using the hammer. If the sound of the hammer is
different and the impact of the hammer is less
efficient, the hammer tool is misaligned with the
object and there is not enough down force on the
hammer tool. Realign the hammer tool and press the
hammer tool firmly against the object.

Principles of Breaking
Penetrative Breaking
Illustration 44 g00620769
A moil tool or a chisel tool is used for penetrative
breaking. Penetrative breaking is the process of
forcing the tool into the material. In order to efficiently
operate the hammer, break small pieces from the
larger base. Start at an edge and work across the
material.
Penetrative breaking is more efficient in the following
material: soft material, layered material, plastic
material and low abrasive material.
Impact Breaking
Illustration 45 g00620772
A blunt tool is used for impact breaking. Impact
breaking results from the transfer of mechanical
energy from the hammer tool to the material.
Impact breaking is more efficient in the following
material: hard material, brittle material, homogeneous
material with no slip planes or grain and abrasive
material.
33
Operation
Operation
Automatic Shutoff
The hammer will not operate or the hammer will shut
off automatically if the following conditions occur:
• There is no material under the hammer tool.
• The hammer tool is not fully retracted into the
hammer.
• The material that is being broken falls away from
the hammer tool.
In order to make sure that the hammer will operate,
place the hammer tool on the material. Place down
pressure on the hammer tool. The hammer tool must
be at a 90 degree angle with the material. If the tool is
not aligned properly or there is no down pressure on
the hammer tool, the hammer will not operate.
Note: The Automatic Shutoff feature can be disabled.
Conversion kits are available from your Cat dealer.
Contact your Cat dealer for more information about
disabling the Automatic Shutoff feature on your
machine.
Note: Disabling the Automatic Shutoff feature will
reduce the expected life of hammer components.
Noise Dampening
The operation of a hammer near areas that are
sensitive to noise can cause noise pollution. Follow
these basic rules in order to avoid unnecessary
noise:
• Keep the tool at 90° to the material.
• Keep the force of the feed in line with the tool.
• Replace the parts or fix the parts that are worn out,
damaged, or loosened.
This will extend the life of the hammer. The noise
level of the hammer will be reduced.
Machine Mounted Automatic
Lubrication (If Equipped)
The automatic lubrication system provides grease to
the hydraulic hammer. The flow of grease is
controlled by a timer that is located in the pump
assembly.
The cycle of the pump is started when the hammer is
activated.
In order to verify proper operation of the automatic
lubrication system, look for the collar of grease that is
on the top part of the hammer tool. The collar of
grease should be below the lower tool bushing. Lift
the hammer off the ground and point the tool
downward. The collar of the grease should be equal
on both sides of the tool that move in and out of the
bushing.
34
Operation
Operation
If the collar of grease is not visible, verify that the
pump assembly is operating correctly. Refer to
Special Instruction, REHS1286, “Installation of 24V
Autolube System on Excavators” for information on
the automatic lubrication system.
Underwater Operation
Note: Refer to Special Instruction, REHS1078,
“Modification of Hydraulic Hammers for Underwater
Operation” or Special Instruction, REHS7119,
“Modification of Hydraulic Hammers for Underwater
Operation” for modifications required for use of a
hydraulic hammer for underwater operation.
Operation
When you use a hydraulic hammer for underwater
operation, the hammer tool will not be visible. The
alignment of the hammer tool with the material is
more difficult.
Maintenance
The hydraulic hammer must be serviced more often
during underwater operation due to the corrosive
effects of the mud and the water. Use the following
maintenance intervals when you use the hammer for
underwater operation.
If your hammer is not equipped with the automatic
lubrication system, perform the following
maintenance after each hour of operation:
• Apply grease to the hammer tool. Apply grease to
the bushings for the hammer tool. Refer to the
Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Hammer -
Lubricate”.
Every 4 hours perform the following maintenance:
• Check the operation of the air switch.
• Check the function of the top buffers and the side
buffers.
• Check all of the hoses. Check all of the fittings.
Check the fittings and the hoses for the air supply
to the hammer. Check the hydraulic hoses and the
hydraulic fittings. Refer to the Operation and
Maintenance Manual, “Hydraulic Fittings -
Inspect”.
Daily, perform the following maintenance:
SEBU8712
• Remove the tool retaining pin. Remove the
hammer tool. Refer to the Operation and
Maintenance Manual, “Tool Retaining Pin -
Inspect/Replace”. Refer to the Operation and
Maintenance Manual, “Tool (Hammer) - Inspect”.
Spray the inner bores of the tool bushings with
138-8447 Rust Preventive.
• Check the hammer tool for the proper application
of grease.
• Check the automatic lubrication system (if
equipped).
Perform the following maintenance after the
completion of the underwater operation:
• Completely disassemble the hammer. Inspect all
of the parts for wear or for damage. Replace any
worn parts. Replace any damaged parts. Replace
all of the seals in the hammer. Refer to the
Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Hydraulic
Hammer - Inspect/Recondition”.
Operating Temperature Range
The recommended operating temperature range is
−20 °C to +80 °C (−4 °F to +176 °F).
If the temperature is lower than −20 °C (−4 °F), the
hammer and the hammer tool must be preheated
before you start to operate the hammer. This will
allow you to avoid breaking the accumulator, the
membrane, and the hammer tool. These components
will remain warm during operation of the hammer.
When you first start operating the hammer, the lowest
recommended temperature of the hydraulic oil is 0 °C
(32 °F). There are some hydraulic oils which can
function properly when temperatures are as low as
−20 °C (−4 °F). Consult your Cat dealer if you have
questions regarding the oil properties of the machine.
When you start your machine in cold conditions use
the following cold start procedure. With the hammer
in a vertical position, lift the hammer off the ground.
With the hammer in this position and the machine at a
low idle, turn on the hammer circuit. Due to the auto-
shut-off feature, oil will circulate without the hammer
operating. Run the hammer in this position for
approximately 10 minutes until the hammer circuit
temperature rises above 0 °C (32 °F).
When the hydraulic oil temperature exceeds 80 °C
(176 °F), you may add an auxiliary oil cooler. When
you operate the hammer at temperatures above
80 °C (176 °F), the life of the seals can be reduced.
When you operate the hammer in ambient
temperatures above 30 °C (86 °F), you can use an oil
with higher viscosity. The use of the oil with higher
viscosity can improve the life of the hammer when
you operate the hammer in high ambient
temperatures.

Hydraulic Oil
Hydraulic Oil Cooling
Note: The maximum recommended hydraulic oil
temperature during operation of a hydraulic hammer
is 80 °C (176 °F). A reliable procedure to check the
hydraulic oil temperature during hydraulic hammer
operation is necessary.
The hydraulic oil temperature may be affected by the
following factors.
• Ambient temperature
• The cooling capacity of the host machine
• The size and efficiency of the hammer
• Condition of the hydraulic circuit
• Method of operation of the hydraulic hammer
Excessive blank firing or idle strokes will generate
heat in the hydraulic system. Blank firing should be
avoided. The hydraulic oil temperature should always
be monitored during operation. If necessary, the
operating techniques of the hammer, the duty cycle,
or the cooling capacity can be adjusted. This helps to
maintain a reasonable hydraulic oil temperature in
order to protect the hammer and the host machine
from damage.
The oil cooler of the host machine must have a flow
capacity that is twice the flow capacity of the hammer.
The oil cooler must be able to withstand a pressure of
2000 kPa (290 psi).
If the cooling capacity of the host machine is too
small, consult your Cat dealer. If necessary, a larger
oil cooler can be installed in place of the existing oil
cooler. Also, an additional oil cooler can be installed
in front of the existing cooler. Always consult your Cat
dealer before you alter a cooling circuit in order to
ensure that proper cooling is available.
Hydraulic Oil Heating
When you first start operating the hammer, the lowest
recommended temperature of the hydraulic oil is 0 °C
(32 °F). There are some hydraulic oils which can
function properly when temperatures are as low as
−20 °C (−4 °F). Consult your Cat dealer if you have
questions regarding the oil properties of the machine.
When you start your machine in cold conditions use
the following cold start procedure. With the hammer
in a vertical position, lift the hammer off the ground.
With the hammer in this position and the machine at a
low idle, turn on the hammer circuit. Due to the auto-
shut-off feature, oil will circulate without the hammer
operating. Run the hammer in this position for
approximately 10 minutes until the hammer circuit
temperature rises above 0 °C (32 °F).

more frequently. Oil change intervals can be adjusted
according to the Cat Scheduled Oil Sampling
Program (S·O·S program). The operation of the
hydraulic hammer causes the hydraulic oil to
degrade. Check the viscosity of the hydraulic oil when
you perform the Cat Scheduled Oil Sampling
Program (S·O·S program).
Air and water are examples of impurities in hydraulic
oil. Not all impurities can be seen with the naked eye.
Impurities may enter the hydraulic system at the
following times:
• Changing the hydraulic oil or refilling the hydraulic
oil
• Repairing the components or servicing the
components
• Installing the hammer on the host machine
• Wearing of components
• Operating the hammer with the tool upward
The following damages are caused by impurities in
the hydraulic oil:
• (1) Service life of the pumps
• Rapid wear of parts
• Deteriorating oil quality
• Electro-chemical changes in the hydraulic oil
Note: Component damage is only a symptom. The
problem will not be cured by removing the symptom.
After any component damage due to impurities in the
oil, the entire hydraulic system must be cleaned. The
hammer should be disassembled. The hammer
should be cleaned. The hammer can be reassembled
after the hammer has been cleaned. The hydraulic oil
should be changed.

Controls
SMCS Code: 6700
Proper welding procedures are necessary in order to
avoid damage to the electronic controls and to the
bearings. The following steps should be followed in
order to weld on a machine or an engine with
electronic controls.

Note: If you are welding on a work tool, remove the

work tool from the host machine before welding.

1. Turn off the engine.

2. Turn the battery disconnect switch to the OFF

position. If there is no battery disconnect switch,
remove the negative battery cable at the battery.

3. Clamp the ground cable from the welder to the

component that will be welded. Place the clamp as
close as possible to the weld. Make sure that the
electrical path from the ground cable to the
component does not go through any bearing. Use
this procedure in order to reduce the possibility of
damage to the following components:

• Bearings of the drive train

• Hydraulic components

• Electrical components

• Other components of the machine

NOTICE
Do NOT use electrical components (ECM or sensors)
or electronic component grounding points for ground-
ing the welder.

4. Protect any wiring harnesses from the debris which

is created from welding. Protect any wiring
harnesses from the splatter which is created from
welding.

5. Use standard welding procedures in order to weld

the materials together.
