WHat is the best way to flush out a hydraulic hammer.
The easiest way is to hook up the inlet hose and remove the coupling from the outlet hose and ..........How involved is it to strip down the hammer.....The hammer has been used alot on one of our older machine and we want to use it on our newer machines and dont contaminate the newer machines with any junk.
Bang on there Hendrik, most breakers do not tolerate any foreign material in the guts so leave well enough alone,or if it needs it rebuild it.The easiest way is to hook up the inlet hose and remove the coupling from the outlet hose and ..........
However seriously I would not bother myself, there is a filter in the return line to the tank so the pump is protected and the aux circuit does not go into the main circuit.
If the older machine has been maintained well there should be no junk floating around in it's hydraulics anyway. If the older machine does have junk in it then you have to strip the hammer down because it won't be working for much longer.
