If the loader or excavator operation is found to be correct, use the following troubleshooting chart to locate and correct
problems with the Hydraulic Breaker which most often occur.
PROBLEM
Breaker will not fire.

Breaker does not hit effectively.

Breaker hits slowly.

CAUSE

CORRECTION

Hydraulic flow is reserved.

Check hose for correct connection.

Supply has high restriction to return fluid flow.

Warm up hydraulic fluid to 75 F/24 C to reduce


viscosity.

Hoses or couplings are restricting flow.

Check hoses and couplings. Repair or replace.

Failure of breaker piston or automatic valve.

If circuit test is within limts, dissassemble and


inspect for damaged parts.

Supply pressure, return pressure or flow rate Test circuit for 4 to 9 gpm/15 to 34 lpm flow and
are incorrect.
pressure is within 1600 to 2250 psi/113 to 158
bar.
Hoses or couplings are restricting flow.

Check hoses and couplings for damage. Repair


or replace.

Accumulator not properly charged.

Test and recharge. Replace diaphragm if


recharge was inneffective.

Hydraulic fluid too hot.

Install a cooler.

Tool bit is binding in breaker foot bushings.

Add grease to fitting on breaker foot more often


(at least twice daily).
Do not pry with control.
Damaged tool bit or bushing. Remove and
inspect.

Low circuit flow

Test valve loading near relief setting. If flow


reduces with pressure rising, pump and/or valve
worn. Repair or replace. Fluid contaminated.
Flush and replace with clean fluid. Check for
proper filtration.

Relief pops during operation.

Test supply circuit. Make sure the flow rate and


pressure ratings are within manufacturer's
specifications.

If the Hydraulic Breaker is not working correctly, check the hydraulic system of the Bobcat Loader or excavator thoroughly
before making any repairs on the breaker. Hydraulic Breaker performance can be affected by a hydraulic system that is
not operating to specifications or such problems as a plugged fuel filter or hydraulic filter in the loader or excavator.
Connect a flow meter to the loader or excavator to check the hydraulic pump output, relief valve setting and tubelines to
check flow and pressure. (See the loader/excavator Service Manual for the correct procedure to connect the flow meter.)

If the Hydraulic Breaker is not working correctly, check the hydraulic system of the Bobcat Loader or excavator thoroughly
before making any repairs on the breaker. Hydraulic Breaker performance can be affected by a hydraulic system that is
not operating to specifications or such problems as a plugged fuel filter or hydraulic filter in the loader or excavator.
Connect a flow meter to the loader or excavator to check the hydraulic pump output, relief valve setting and tubelines to
check flow and pressure. (See the loader/excavator Service Manual for the correct procedure to connect the flow meter.)

TROUBLESHOOTING THE HYDRAULIC BREAKER

WARNING
Instructions are necessary before operating or
servicing machine. Read Operation & M aintenance

Manuals, Handbook and si gns (decals) on mac hine.


Follow warnings and instructions in the manuals
when making repairs, adjustments or servicing.
Check for correct function after adjustments, repairs
or service. Failure to follow instructions can cause
injury or death.
W-2003-1289

If the Hydraulic Breaker is not working correctly, check the hydraulic system of the Bobcat Loader or excavator thoroughly
before making any repairs on the breaker. Hydraulic Breaker performance can be affected by a hydraulic system that is
not operating to specifications or such problems as a plugged fuel filter or hydraulic filter in the loader or excavator.
Connect a flow meter to the loader or excavator to check the hydraulic pump output, relief valve setting and tubelines to
check flow and pressure. (See the loader/excavator Service Manual for the correct procedure to connect the flow meter.)
If the loader or excavator operation is found to be correct, use the following troubleshooting chart to locate and correct
problems with the Hydraulic Breaker which most often occur.

Breaker will not fire.

CAUSE
Loader fluid reservoir is low.

Add hydraulic fluid to the fluid reservoir


on the loader.

Figure 30-20-11

Figure 30-20-10

Check the piston for wear.


Later model breakers have a cross hatch pattern (Item 2)
[Figure 30-20-11] on the piston. Early model pistons are
smooth. This cross hatch pattern is used to trap oil on the
piston shaft to help lubricate the new style seals used in
the breakers.
If there is no cross hatch pattern on the piston or if the
cross hatch is worn smooth on part of the piston, apply a
cross hatch pattern as follows:
Use an emery cloth and move the emery cloth up and
down in th e area (Item 2) [Figure 30-20-11] while
rotating the piston.
This will produce a very fine surface scratching in a cross
hatched pattern (Item 2) [Figure 30-20-11].
NOTE: The new style seals (See Seals Installation on
Page 30-20-11.) must be used with the cross
hatch pattern pistons. Both old and new style
seals are included in the breaker seal kit. We
recommend crosshatching the old style
(smooth) piston and using the latest design
seals.

not operating to specifications or such problems as a plugged fuel filter or hydraulic filter in the loader or excavator.
Connect a flow meter to the loader or excavator to check the hydraulic pump output, relief valve setting and tubelines to
check flow and pressure. (See the loader/excavator Service Manual for the correct procedure to connect the flow meter.)
