BREAKER MAINTENANCE
Change Hydraulic Oil and Replace Hydraulic Oil Tank Filter
Hydraulic breaker operation subjects the hydraulic system
to become contaminated faster and to quickly deteriorate
the hydraulic oil. For this reason, hydraulic oil must be
changed and the hydraulic oil tank filter must be replaced
more often than the machine equipped with a bucket. Fail
ure to do so may result in damage to the breaker,
hydraulic oil pump, and other related hydraulic sys-
tem components. Recommended changing intervals
are shown below. (For filter replacement and oil
changing intervals are shown below.(For filter re-
placement and oil changing procedures, refer to the
“Hydraulic System” in the “MAINTENANCE” Sec-
tion.)

Excavator Operating Hours
IMPORTANT: Use a high performance element (mi-
cro-glass) on excavators engaged in
demolition Work (ZAXIS80LCK). In case
using a filter-paper element is unavoid-
able, replace hydraulic oil and the filter
element at the intervals as illustrated
with dotted lines.
NOTE: ZAXIS80LCK is equipped with a full-flow
filter restriction indicator. However, if a fil-
ter-paper element is used, this indicator
doesn’t operate. (Refer to the Hydraulic
System in the Maintenance section.)
