CLOTHING AND PERSONAL PROTECTION ITEMS
Depending on the type of job, do not forget to wear a hard hat, safety goggles, safety boots
mask and gloves. Especially when operating a mini-excavator where a cabin is not installed on
the machine, it is essential to wear a hard hat, protective goggles, safety boots, a mask and
gloves.
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE
The hydraulic breaker contains a high volume of pressurized nitrogen gas. It can therefore be
dangerous if the breaker is not dismantled correctly. As a result, if the breaker needs service,
please contact Hensley or an authorized Hensley distributor/service depot.
UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATION
Do not remove the hydraulic hose immediately after stopping the hydraulic breaker. The oil reaches
a very high temperature during operation and may possibly cause burns. Remove hose only when
the temperature has dropped.
4
WARNING – HIGH PRESSURE OIL
The oil pressure in the hydraulic circuit remains high immediately after the hydraulic breaker has
been stopped. The oil may spurt out from the hose cap when the hose is removed. Remove the
hose only after switching off the engine of the excavator and releasing the pressure in the hydraulic
hose/system.
It is very dangerous to use worn and broken tools and to misuse tools. Use the proper tools for
maintenance.
Position the hydraulic breaker in a stable and flat place to prevent it from over turning.

When the supply of air is stopped, the water infiltrates in not only the hydraulic breaker, but also
the hydraulic equipment of the excavator and can cause fatal issues.
1. Before warming up the hydraulic excavator, always inspect the hydraulic oil tank to determine if emulsification
has occurred by water entering the system.
CAUTION
Make sure air is being supplied to the hydraulic breaker before it is put into the water and
continue until it is removed from the water.
2. Supply air to the hydraulic breaker as you put the breaker into the water and perform the application.
CAUTION
During operation of the breaker, make sure the air is going into the breaker. If the air stops or
you see oil floating to the surface, stop the operation immediately and lift the breaker out of the
