OIL SPECIFICATIONS
Table below shows hydraulic oils recommended for hammer use. The most suitable
oil is selected in such a way that the temperature of the hydraulic oil in continuous
use is in the ideal area on the chart and the hydraulic system is used to best advan-
tage.
Problems due to incorrect hydraulic oil viscosity in the hammer:
Oil too thick
■ Difficult start up
■ Stiff operation
■ Hammer strikes slowly
■ Danger of cavitation in pumps and in the hydraulic hammer
■ Sticky valves
■ Filter bypass opens, impurities in the oil are not removed
