When one through bolt is failed, replace diagonally opposed throughbolt also.
To re-torque through-bolts, loosen four of them to turn, and re-torque
them to the specification.

Cylinder
The largest single part of the breaker. It is machined, then
heat-treated and polished to the specification.

Accumulator
Reserves pressure oil and absolves pressure spike when piston is at top dead
center and bottom dead center. It is Nitrogen filled.

When diaphragm is damaged, inlet hose will vibrates and brake power will
be decreased.

Piston
Transmits dynamic power toward the rod and rod will break object rock.
Surface of the piston is super finished. Not chrome plated.

Front-Bushing
For F11 and larger breakers, front-cover is provided with wear indicating recess.
Advise operator to replace front cover before recess is wear out.
Use of worn front cover can damage rod head or piston striking face .

Rod
Four different kind of rods are available for different rock conditions.

Rod
Flat(blunt)rod
Flat tip design rod, common for shot rock breaking. Used for hard but
cracked rock. Rod breaks rock with shock wave.
Because of flat face, rod will not slip during breaking.

Moil point / corn rod

Conical tip is named corn rod and square dipyramid is named moil point
rod. Commonly used for breaking of concrete, rock layers, hard foundation
and road construction. Sharp point can penetrate well against the rock
with wedge effect.

Rod
Wedge point
Chisel design tip is named wedge point.. Wedge effect of the tip will
penetrate into the object rock. Good for trenching, breaking of layered
rock. It is not recommended to use for hard rock.

Core rod
Fitted hard alloy steel bar in the moil point rod. This rod is only
recommended for abrasive rock.

Control Valve
F1 F5 : Control valve is directly mounted on the piston.
F6 & F9 : Control valve is built in the cylinder.

Stroke Adjuster
Available for F11 and larger
Adjusts piston stroke. LONG stroke or SHORT stroke.
LONG stroke: less number of blows. 100% blows.
SHORT stroke: more number of blows. 150% blows but 70% force of LONG stroke
For hard rock use LONG stroke.
For soft or cracked rock, use SHORT stroke.

Choice of AUTOMATIC STOP valve.

Named Anti idle blow
Quit blows when rock is broke.
To restart simply press the rod
against the rock.
*Only active at LONG stroke position.
