4 SAFETY Safety notices in NPK Instruction Manuals follow ISO and ANSI standards for safety warnings: DANGER (red) notices indicate an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. WARNING (orange) notices indicate a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. CAUTION (yellow) notices indicate a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. ATTENTION (blue) notices in NPK Instruction Manuals are an NPK standard to alert the reader to situations which, if not avoided, could result in equipment damage. WARNING FALLING OR FLYING DEBRIS decals are included with each NPK MATERIAL PROCESSOR. The decal must be installed in the cab, visible to the operator. WARNING - STAY CLEAR decals are installed on all NPK Crushers, Shears, and MATERIAL PROCESSORS. Keep them clean and visible. NPK will provide decals free of charge as needed

5 SAFETY OPERATION 1. Operator personnel must read and understand the NPK INSTRUCTION MANUAL to prevent serious or fatal injury. 2. FLYING OR FALLING DEBRIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY. Keep personnel and bystanders clear of the MATERIAL PROCESSOR while in operation. 3. Do not operate MATERIAL PROCESSOR without an impact resistant shield between the MATERIAL PROCESSOR and operator. Operate with extreme caution near walls or columns that may collapse and near concrete debris that may fall. 4. Operate the MATERIAL PROCESSOR from the operator s seat only. 5. Use two people whenever operator visibility is limited, one to operate the MATERIAL PROCESSOR, the other to guide operations. 6. Do not leave a load suspended in air. 7. Do not pass a load over people, vehicles, etc. 8. Do not operate the MATERIAL PROCESSOR within reach of power lines. Warning Decal for Cab Installation 9. Do not climb, sit, or ride on the MATERIAL PROCESSOR. 10. Match the MATERIAL PROCESSOR size to excavator according to NPK recommendations, see page 8. The excavator must be stable during MATERIAL PROCESSOR operation and during transport. 11. Do not operate without inspection (access) covers in place. 12. Be especially cautious around hydraulic lines. Hydraulic oil can be extremely HOT! Avoid skin contact with hydraulic oil. It can cause severe burns! 13. Protect hands and body from hydraulic fluids under pressure. Escaping high pressure fluid can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting any lines. Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard, or other object. If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately! Hydraulic fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed immediately or gangrene may result! 14. The pressure generated by the power intensifier on the MATERIAL PROCESSOR exceeds 10,000 psi (690 bar), which is higher than commonly encountered on hydraulic equipment. To avoid bodily harm and/or injury when conducting inspection checks, use gauges, hoses and fittings rated at 15,000 psi (1035 bar). For parts replacement, use only genuine NPK replacement parts. Contact NPK Service Department at When removing or installing mounting pins, beware of flying metal chips

6 SAFETY MAINTENANCE 1. Use only NPK supplied replacement parts. NPK specifically disclaims any responsibility for bodily injury or MATERIAL PROCESSOR damage that results from the use of parts not sold or approved by NPK. 2. Use extreme caution in handling. A fully assembled MATERIAL PROCESSOR can weigh up to 5 tons. Sub-assemblies range in weight from hundreds to thousands of pounds. To avoid bodily harm, use lifting and securing mechanisms of adequate capacity to support loads. Seek the aid of an assistant as much as possible, and always when handling heavier sub-assemblies. 3. Use extreme caution when changing jaw sets, particularly in the field. Employ lifting and securing mechanisms of adequate capacity to support the jaw sets. At least two people are required to change a jaw set safely in the field. 4. Wear safety glasses and protective clothing when working on the MATERIAL PROCESSOR. Wear thermal-protective gloves when handling heated parts. 5. Prevent exposure to hazardous fumes. Remove all paint, grease, and oil before heating, cutting or welding on the MATERIAL PROCESSOR. 6. Be especially cautious around hydraulic lines. Hydraulic oil can be extremely HOT! Avoid skin contact with hydraulic oil. It can cause severe burns! 7. Protect hands and body from hydraulic fluids under pressure. Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting any lines. Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard, or other object. If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately! Hydraulic fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene may result. 8. The pressure generated by the power intensifier on the MATERIAL PROCESSOR exceeds 10,000 psi (690 bar), which is higher than commonly encountered on hydraulic equipment. To avoid bodily harm and/or injury when conducting inspection checks, use gauges, hoses and fittings rated at 15,000 psi (1035 bar). For parts replacement, use only genuine NPK replacement parts. Contact NPK Service Department at When removing or installing mounting pins, beware of flying metal chips

7 SAFETY MAINTENANCE STANDARD PRACTICES ATTENTION Maintenance of and repairs to the MATERIAL PROCESSOR should be performed by an experienced service technician, thoroughly familiar with all standard practices and procedures, and most importantly, all safety precautions. The following is a review of common standard practices to be followed when working with hydraulic equipment, and is not meant to be all-inclusive. Rather, this review is presented as a reminder as to some of the unique characteristics of hydraulic equipment. The prevention of foreign contaminant damage is critical when working with hydraulic equipment. Protect exposed holes and parts to guard against entry of contaminants. Mark the location and position of mating parts as an aid to re-assembly. Mark corresponding parts uniquely to reflect their relationship, including proper location, position, orientation, and/or alignment. DO: During assembly, observe all markings made during disassembly, and all corresponding features of mating parts to ensure proper location, position, orientation, and alignment. During disassembly of a sub-assembly, place removed components on a clean, dry surface, in proper relative position as an aid in re-assembly. Always inspect threaded areas on components. Repair or replace as required. Use care to avoid scratches, nicks, dents, or other damage to machined surfaces of mating components. When securing a component, always tighten cap screws gradually in an opposing pattern, applying the specified torque. Grease can be used to temporarily hold a part in place while the abutting part is placed into position. Always use common sense and exercise standard safety precautions when working with all tools and equipment required to maintain, repair or troubleshoot the MATERIAL PROCESSOR

24 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION 1.0 BOOSTER AND CYLINDER 1.1 DESCRIPTION The NPK Material Processor obtains its power from the hydraulic system of the excavator to which it is mounted. Two hydraulic cylinders convert hydraulic power to crushing and shearing forces. The Material Processor hydraulic cylinders work independently of each other, but share an exclusive NPK pressure intensifier (booster) mechanism. Because the boosted cylinders are relatively small diameter, less oil is required compared to conventional large diameter cylinders without a pressure booster, thus reducing cycle time. JAW CLOSE Oil from the excavator is directed to the piston end of the cylinders to close the jaws of the Material Processor. Under no load, boost pressure is not applied. When the jaws meet resistance (material to be crushed or sheared), pressure builds and shifts the sequence valve on the booster. This directs oil into the booster section. JAW OPEN To open the jaws of the NPK Material Processor, oil is directed to the rod end of the cylinders. This retracts the rods and pulls the jaws open. Pressure boost is not provided nor is it necessary to open the jaw. c11. Jaw Cylinder c14. Pressure Intensifier c15. Main Valve c16. Sequence Valve c17. Relief Valve (Close) c18.

26 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION 1.0 BOOSTER AND CYLINDER 1.3 OPERATING PRINCIPLE Jaw Close Under No Load Oil is directed through the booster unit to the base end of the cylinders to close the jaws. If no load is encountered, hydraulic pressure developed is low, and no boost is needed. c11. Jaw Cylinder c14. Booster Piston c15. Booster Valve c16. Sequence Valve c19. Plunger c20.

27 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION 1.0 BOOSTER AND CYLINDER 1.3 OPERATING PRINCIPLE Jaw Close Under Load (Booster actuated) Fig. 1.3 thru 1.7 When a load (material to be broken) is encountered as the jaws close, the hydraulic pressure starts to rise. When the hydraulic pressure reaches a pre-set pressure, the sequence valve (SV) shifts and directs oil through the control valve of the booster and to the booster piston. This starts the boosting process. The booster piston is double ended and provides boost in each direction of travel. The hydraulic oil that has passed through the sequence valve and booster control valve flows into rear chambers V1 and V2 of the booster piston and strokes it toward chamber V4. Because the area of the piston in chambers V1 and V2 is greater than the area at V4, the pressure at V4 is intensified. This higher pressure oil is directed through CV4 and to the base end of the cylinders. c11. Jaw Cylinder c14. Booster Piston c15. Booster Valve c16. Sequence Valve c19. Plunger c20.

28 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION 1.0 BOOSTER AND CYLINDER 1.3 OPERATING PRINCIPLE Jaw Close Under Load (continued) When the booster piston reaches full stroke, oil entering port C1 of the piston transfers to port C2 and to the plunger end of the booster control valve. This shifts the valve as shown in Figure 1.4. c11. Jaw Cylinder c14. Booster Piston c15. Booster Valve c16. Sequence Valve c19. Plunger c20. Pilot Check Valve c21. Check Valve (1) c22.

29 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION 1.0 BOOSTER AND CYLINDER 1.3 OPERATING PRINCIPLE Jaw Close Under Load (continued) When the booster valve has been shifted, oil from the sequence valve (SV) is directed through the booster valve to chambers V3 and V4 of the booster piston. This strokes the booster piston toward chamber V2. The oil in chamber V2 is compressed and sent through CV3 to the base end of the cylinders. c11. Jaw Cylinder c14. Booster Piston c15.

30 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION 1.0 BOOSTER AND CYLINDER 1.3 OPERATING PRINCIPLE Jaw Close Under Load (continued) When the booster piston reaches full reverse stroke, oil drains out of the plunger end of the booster control valve through ports C2 and C3 of the booster piston. The booster control valve spring moves the valve toward the plunger. This places the valve in position to direct oil to the piston to start the next forward piston stroke. These forward and reverse piston strokes will continue as long as the operating switch in the cab is actuated, up to maximum system pressure when the booster will automatically stop. c11.

31 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION 1.0 BOOSTER AND CYLINDER 1.3 OPERATING PRINCIPLE Jaw open (no Booster actuation) When the Material Processor jaws are opened, oil from the hydraulic circuit of the excavator is directed to the rod end of the cylinders. A pilot signal from this flow is sent to the pilot check valve. This opens the pilot check valve allowing oil to be pushed out of the base end of the cylinders as the rods retract. As the cylinder rods retract, the jaws open. There is no boost actuation on jaw opening. c11. Jaw Cylinder c14. Booster Piston c15. Booster Valve c16. Sequence Valve c19. Plunger c20.

32 HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION NPK Hydraulic Installation Kits are available for virtually all compatible excavator models. The kits include all parts and complete instructions for the hydraulic installation, including valving and/or controls, hoses and fittings, boom and stick tubing, and clamps. Combination kits that can also be used for hydraulic hammer or compactor operation are available. See your NPK dealer for details or call NPK direct at SHUT-OFF VALVES Most NPK Hydraulic Installation Kits use two shut-off valves (k4) on the dipper stick of the carrier. Make sure the shut-off valves (k4) are turned to the ON (k5) position before operating the Material Processor. NOTE: A pressure test port (k8) is located in the shut-off valve spool. k1. Stick k4.

33 HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION HYDRAULIC QUICK DISCONNECTS NPK discourages the use of quick disconnects on hydraulic circuits operating NPK products, including Material Processors, for the following reasons: 39 = JIC Connection, NPK Recommended 32 = Quick Disconnect, NPK Non-Recommended 1. The hydraulic pulsations caused by the Material Processor can cause internal pieces of the quick disconnect to disintegrate. These pieces can migrate into the Material Processor, causing damage. 2. Quick disconnects create a restriction in the circuit. NPK Material Processors are not back pressure sensitive, but restrictions cause unnecessary heating of the oil. Also, the pressure required to operate the Material Processor, plus the restriction of the disconnects may push an older, low pressure excavator to the limit of its hydraulic system. This would interfere with proper Material Processor operation. 3. If quick disconnects are not used, when the Material Processor is removed from the excavator, the tube ends and hoses should be capped to keep them clean. As this cannot be relied upon, contamination of the disconnect will be flushed into the Material Processor when re-connected. This, again, can cause damage. NPK APPROVED CONNECTION QUICK DISCONNECTS CONTACT YOUR NPK DEALER FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT NPK QUICK DISCONNECTS

34 MOUNTING INSTALLATION NPK Mounting Installation Kits include the parts required to adapt the NPK Material Processor to the stick or arm of the excavator.

44 GENERAL MAINTENANCE REFER TO IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION SECTION DAILY INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE The functions that the Material Processor performs are demanding jobs in tough environments. Therefore, it is extremely important that the following maintenance and inspection procedures be performed daily. Grease all lubrication points! Use moly EP2 or equivalent grease. Lubrication points are at the following locations as shown on page 45. Check for oil leaks at the Cylinder Piston Rods and all of the Material Processor s hoses and fittings. Check all fasteners for looseness. Retighten if necessary. Inspect all welds and repair as necessary. Inspect the hydraulic hoses for wear, damage or oil leakage. Check the condition of the cutting blades. Rotate, or repair as necessary (See Cutter Blade Maintenance Section for instructions). Check to ensure that C, S, & G Jaw blade-to-blade clearance is.010 to.040 inch (0.25 to 1.00 mm). Shim if necessary (See Cutter Blade Maintenance Section for instructions)

45 GENERAL MAINTENANCE LUBRICATION POINTS A Cylinder base end pins: one lubrication point per cylinder located at main frame attachment end. 10 strokes from grease gun every 4 hours. B Cylinder rod pins: one lubrication point per cylinder located at jaw attachment end. 10 strokes from grease gun every 4 hours. C Jaw pivot pin: two lubrication points on one side, one lubrication point on other side. 15 strokes from grease gun per fitting every 4 hours. D Rotation Bearing: two lubrication points 180 apart. 5 strokes from grease gun per fitting once per shift.

Apply a small amount of thread lock to the set screw before installing

48 SLEWING RING INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE MEASURING MAXIMUM AXIAL MOVEMENT 1. While the unit is attached to the excavator, position the processor in the vertical position. 2. Using a dial indicator (t40), block the base of the dial indicator onto the lower frame of the processor. Indicate the other end of the dial onto the top bracket face as shown. Using the excavator, slightly rock the processor back and forth using slight stick movement. Note the movement shown by the dial. Take this reading (d59) in four places. If your readings are greater than shown, please contact the NPK Service Department at MODEL M20 M28 M38 MODEL M20 M28 M38 NEW MAXIMUM inch (mm) <.010 (0.25) <.010 (0.25) <.010 (0.25) MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE WEAR inch (mm) (3.50) (3.50) (3.50)

49 SWIVEL MANIFOLD MAINTENANCE SWIVEL OIL MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY The swivel assembly is located between the top bracket, which is pinned to the carrier, and the crusher frame that rotates. Hydraulic oil for both open and close operations passes through it. The swivel assembly consists of two main parts, the Spindle Case, which contains the oil seals, and the Spindle, which rotates with the crusher frame. LEAKAGE OF THE SEALS External leakage or internal (bypassing) of hydraulic oil will require the replacement of the seals in the swivel assembly. For external leakage, please review the seal replacement procedure in the next section. If internal leakage is suspected, please proceed to the Testing the Swivel Seals for Internal Leakage section. TESTING THE SWIVEL SEALS FOR INTERNAL LEAKAGE If internal seal leakage is suspected, before disassembling the swivel assembly, the relief valve pressure setting should be checked. Internal leakage will most likely prevent the unit from reaching relief in both open and close functions. The relief valves are located below the swivel assembly in blocks that are attached near the four hose connections. Access to these is through the upper side plates of the crusher main frame. The relief valve setting adjustment screws are located beneath the plastic cap. Before attempting to adjust the relief setting, please check that the relief valve has not loosened in the block. See Figure 1. Figure 1 Procedure Install 5,000 psi gauges in the NPK stop valves (located on the stick of the machine). Close the jaw and keep the function activated and read the pressure. Compare the pressure reached with the specifications for your model crusher. Repeat check while opening the jaw and read pressure. Please note that if the relief pressure cannot be reached with the jaw closed and the intensifier booster is clicking rapidly, this indicates a booster problem not a relief problem. If the proper relief pressure cannot be reached and the booster slows or stops, then disassemble the swivel to check for failed seals. Relief Valve

50 SWIVEL MANIFOLD MAINTENANCE REPLACEMENT OF THE SEALS IN THE SWIVEL Tools needed: 19mm & 22mm open end wrenches 41mm & 46mm open end wrenches External snap ring pliers The jaws of the material processor should be closed and the frame supported or pinned to prevent rotation during repair. Here, the shipping pins are inserted to lock the rotation. Figure 2 Step 1 Remove the rotation hoses at the holding valve (top center of Figure 2). Remove the rotation motor hoses and motor fittings. Disconnect the cylinder hoses at the side plates of the top bracket. Do not remove the hoses (AO) from the Spindle Case (B2), they will be used to help lift it off the Spindle (CA). Do not disturb the elbow fittings (CF) in the Spindle Case (B2). Step 2 (Figure 3) Remove the snap ring (AJ) and washer (U) from the top of the swivel assembly. Pull the Spindle Case (B2) off the Spindle (CA) (the hoses can be used for this). Figure

51 SWIVEL MANIFOLD MAINTENANCE REPLACEMENT OF THE SEALS IN THE SWIVEL Step 3 (Figure 4) Inspection: Visually inspect the sealing surfaces of the spindle for damage, which may hamper the ability of the o-rings to seal. Polishing the surface may clean up light scratching. Heavy scratching or galling may indicate rotator-bearing play. Step 4 (Figure 5) Seal removal and replacement: Sealing is accomplished with a combination of o-rings and back-up rings, which ride against the Spindle. Remove the o-rings and back-up rings with a seal pick (note the order of placement). Check the grooves in the Spindle Case for burrs or scoring damage. Light grinding or polishing may be required.

59 JAW INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE JAW WEAR AND REPAIR WEEKLY INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE With new S or G jaw sets, the teeth will contact before the cylinders reach full stroke. As the teeth continue to wear, the cylinders will reach full stroke and a gap will be apparent between the opposing jaws. If wear continues to this point or beyond, the crushing efficiency may decrease and the full cylinder force will be transferred to the cylinder end cap (c5) and retaining bolts (OO). This situation should be avoided. The jaws ( S units) or teeth ( G units) should be inspected and maintained to avoid this gap. S, C & G JAWS: Profiles can be checked against NPK original profile templates(t72). Call the NPK Service Department for assistance at S JAWS: These jaws are hardfaced. The best time to rebuild them is as soon as the hardface pattern is worn off. If the hardface pattern is gone, the profile should be rebuilt to that of the template. Do not allow tip wear to exceed.75 (20mm) compared to the template or the cylinder will bottom out. G JAWS: On the eye jaw, wear on the small side teeth (mp2) determines when the cylinders are approaching full extension. The large center teeth (mp1) are for crushing purposes only. New small teeth are 1.97 (50mm) high on the M28 and M38 units. On the M20 units, the teeth are 1.57 (40mm) high new. The small teeth, on each side of the removable jaw plate, should not be allowed to wear to less than.97 (25mm) on the M28 and M38 units. The M20 units should not be allowed to wear to less than.78 (20 mm). They should be rebuilt or replaced at this time. The small tooth part number is M for the M38G (qty. 4), M for the M28G (qty. 2) and M for the M20G (qty. 2). Tip wear of the two large teeth may affect crushing efficiency. This profile can be rebuilt to that of the template

60 JAW INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE JAW WEAR AND REPAIR Another alternative is to replace the entire bolt on plate, part number M for the M38G, M for the M28G and M for the M20G. CY- NEW PROFILE CZ OLD PROFILE See Sections on Jaw and Tooth Rebuild or Teeth Replacement for procedures. K JAWS: Several surfaces of the K jaws have been hardfaced. The best time to rebuild them is as soon as the hardface pattern is worn off. If the hardface pattern is completely worn, the surfaces should be rebuilt and hardfaced such that they are even with or slightly above the adjoining blades. See pages 75 and 76 for underlayment and hardface procedures

61 JAW INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE CUTTING BLADE MAINTENANCE When the cutter blades become damaged or rounded due to abrasion, grind the rounded areas of the blades to a sharp 90 edge. Use care in handling to avoid bodily harm. Do not over grind blades to the point that the surface becomes blue or discolored. This will make the blades brittle. Re-install sharpened cutter blades with necessary shims, see page 62. Torque the cutter blade bolts to 525 ft. lbs. (715 Nm) lubed. Cutter blades can be flipped four times to increase service life. Torque the cutter blade bolts to 525 ft. lbs. (715 Nm) lubed. If all cutter blades are chipped or worn beyond repair, replace the blades. DO NOT WELD CUTTER BLADES!

62 JAW INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE CUTTING BLADE MAINTENANCE BLADE-TO-BLADE CLEARANCE M20, M28, M38 S, G and C Jaws A blade-to-blade ( A - A ) clearance of.010 to.040 (0.25 to 1.00mm) should be maintained for optimum performance. Install shims (BH) under blade (BG) as necessary, see Fig. 1. Shim Kits M20 S & G Jaws NPK p/n M M28 S & G Jaws NPK p/n M M38 S & G Jaws NPK p/n M BLADE-TO-BLADE CLEARANCE M20K, M28K and M38K Fig. 1 M20, M28, M38 S, G and C Jaws A blade-to-blade clearance of.000 to.010 (.00 to 0.25mm) should be maintained for optimum performance. See Fig. 2 and 3 for cutting blade and shim arrangement. Refer to NPK Parts Manual for part numbers. PIERCING TIP TO TUNNEL GAP M20K, M28K and M38K The piercing tip to tunnel blade gap can be increased by removing the tunnel spacer, which can be helpful in some piercing operations. Removal of the spacer on the M20K increases the gap by.20 inch (5mm). Removal of the spacer on the M28K increases the gap by.47 inch (12mm). Removal of the spacer on the M38K increases the gap by.75 inch (19mm).

63 JAW INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PIERCING TIP MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT Before maintenance is performed on the piercing tip, it is recommended that the fixed jaw (tunnel) be repaired first. MAINTENANCE To maintain maximum piercing efficiency, the piercing tip should be checked daily for wear. The rate of wear that will occur is going to be influenced greatly due to the types of material being processed and the amount of piercing being done. To check the jaw and tip for wear, close the shear until the piercing tip is beginning to enter the lower jaw (tunnel). The piercing tip should fit squarely in the fixed jaw tunnel. If a large gap is noted and the tip is rounded, this is an indication that the piercing tip requires attention. Also, if it is noted that material is being drug through the tunnel and not efficiently pierced by the tip, this is also an indication that the tip is in need of attention. The length of time between piercing tip maintenance will greatly influence if a tip can be repaired or if the tip must be replaced. BUILD-UP OF THE PIERCING TIP Before beginning the build-up of the existing piercing tip, it is necessary to first grind off all remaining hardface material. After determining the amount of build-up required, preheat the tip and surrounding area to F ( C). Using a suitable underlay rod build-up the areas in question by using stringer welds. Peen after each pass. Continue to build the areas by overlaying weld stringers. Stop periodically and cycle the piercing tip through the fixed jaw tunnel to check the amount of build-up that is still required. Maintain preheat of jaw area. After build-up is complete, it may be required to hardface the piercing tip. Hardfacing will help prolong the life of the tip and increase the amount of time a tip can be used before maintenance is once again required. Refer to pages 75 and 76 and use the same procedure

64 JAW INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE REPLACING PIERCING TIP To install a new tip, carbon arc off the old tip approximately the dimension of your model piercing tip, please note that a seat for the top is present in the upper jaw, see Fig. A. The surface must be prepared by chamfering the upper, see Fig. B. NOTE: Be sure area is free from all carbon residue, leaving it flat and smooth. Fig. A Fig. B Place the new tip into the seat. Use a straight edge to position the tip before tacking into place. Place the straight edge against the face of the cutting blade and maintain the alignment to the side edge of the replaceable tip. Fig. C Fig. D Move tip squarely against the edge, making sure it is level, then tack firmly in place, see Fig. C and D. Cycle the SHEAR to check the clearance of the new tip. The leading edge of the tip should pass within.045 of the upper lip of the fixed jaw. NOTE: Some grinding may be required to fit the tip properly to the tunnel. 1. Remove worn tip by carbon arcing or torch cutting. 2. Prepare surface for new tip by grinding away any remaining slag. 3. Place new tip into proper location. 4. Dry welding rod to 300 F + (150 C +). 5. Preheat weld area to 300 F F ( C). Joining and build-up For joining, stringer beads are best. For build-up, weaving is acceptable. Use one of the following rods (or wire equivalent) or equal: Airco Austex 361, Cronatron 7770, Eutectic 3205, Hobart Smooth Arc MC, McKay Chrome-mang, Stoody

65 PIERCING TIP MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT The piercing tip profile must be maintained for piercing efficiency. Piercing tip build-up and/or replacement should be completed after all cutting blade, guide blade, and tunnel blade maintenance has been completed. Perform the following steps to determine whether the piercing tip can be built up or should be replaced. Step 1: Using a steel straight edge, place the straight edge (t15) on the face of the primary blades (BG), the side of the piercing tip (DA) should be even/parallel with the primary blade face. Record the amount of clearance/gap (d65) between the straight edge and the side of the tip. Step 2: Close the jaws until the piercing tip (DA) just enters the female jaw (BI) (tunnel), note the wear on the corners of the piercing tip (DA) and also the gap (d66) between the lead edge of the piercing tip (DA) and the tunnel blade (DB). Step 3: If the gap between the straight edge and the piercing tip is minor, and the wear on the lead edge and the corners of the tip is not excessive, weld build-up of the tip is recommended. Follow the Build-up Procedures listed in the service manual. If tip wear is excessive, REPLACE the piercing tip. Follow the Replacing Piercing Tip procedures listed in the Jaw Inspection and Maintenance section of this manual

66 PIERCING TIP MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT Step 4: After completing the welding and grinding build of the tip, place the straight edge, once again, on the face of the primary blades to confirm that the side of the piercing tip and primary blades are parallel. Step 5: Slowly close the jaws until the piercing tip (DA) enters the tunnel, verify the clearance (d66) between the lead edge of the piercing tip (DA) and tunnel blade (DB). This clearance should be approximately.020 to.040. Additional welding or grinding maybe required to achieve the desired clearance. When installing a new piercing tip, the clearance between the piercing tip and tunnel blade can be set when placing the new tip in the male jaw. Step 6: Close the jaw until the side of the piercing tip (DA) is next to the guide blade (DF), measure the clearance and add shims to achieve a clearance (d63) of.005. Apply thread adhesive and torque the guide blade bolts to NPK specifications. Step 7: After completing all welding maintenance, allow the jaws to cool slowly

67 K-JAW BLADE SET UP PROCEDURE ST1. Install primary blades first, (male jaw). Check to ensure primary blade faces are parallel. ST2. Install secondary blades, (female jaw), and shim to primary blades. ST3. Install tunnel blade. ST4. Install guide blade and shim to side of piercing tip. These set up procedures are to be used when the piercing tip is new

68 M-SERIES K (SHEAR) JAW MAINTENANCE The following information is to be used as a general guide for maintaining the jaws and cutter blades on the NPK M-Series processor. Failure to maintain the jaws and cutter blades will result in poor performance, and eventual failure to the jaws and cutter blades. These failures are not covered under the standard NPK warranty. Use care when handling blades. Do not over grind the cutter blades. Do not weld on the cutter blades. During normal use of a processor, the jaws and cutter blades will become worn. Regular maintenance must be performed to ensure that the maximum efficiency is realized. DAILY MAINTENANCE Grease the two arm pins and the center pivot area 2 times per shift using an EP #2 grease (15 pumps of grease). Check the jaw weldments for cracks. Contact NPK for repair procedure, if a crack is found. Inspect for loose, broken, and missing fasteners. Replace and re-torque, as required. Check the condition of the cutting blades. If the edge is rounded and dull, grind the edges back to 90. Rotate the blades if extreme wear or chipping on the cutting edge is noted. If the blades are replaced or rotated, they must be shimmed. Blades should be shimmed from.005 to a maximum of.010. Replace the blades if they are cracked. Use the following procedure when performing piercing tip and blade maintenance. COMPONENT DESCRIPTION Male jaw (BD) contains the primary cutting blades (BG), spacer plates (DE), and piercing tip (DA)

69 M-SERIES K (SHEAR) JAW MAINTENANCE COMPONENT DESCRIPTION Female jaw (BI) contains the secondary cutting blades (BG), tunnel blade (DB), blade spacer (DC), guide blade (DF), and spacer plate (DE). BLADE MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT Each cutting blade and the tunnel blade can be turned four times; the guide blade can only be turned twice. The piercing tip is a weld in tip but can be built up via a weld procedure. The piercing tip is also replaceable. When replacing or turning cutting blades, the following steps must be followed to achieve accurate blade shimming and final blade clearance. Step 1: Start with the male jaw (BD) (primary blades); these blades should be installed first. Prior to installing, the male jaw blade pocket (DM) needs to be free from debris and raised edges. Clean pocket and remove any raised edges (74) from the blade pocket using a grinder (t1). If existing blades (BG) are being turned, the blade face must also be free of scars, remove scars using a grinder (t1)

70 M-SERIES K (SHEAR) JAW MAINTENANCE BLADE MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT Each primary blade will have a spacer plate placed between the blade and the blade pocket. Install and tighten blade bolts. Step 2: Using a steel straight edge (t15), place the straight across the face of the primary blades (BG). There should not be any gap (d3) between either blade and the straight edge. If the blades are being turned, and a gap (d3) is found between either of the blades and the straight edge, measure the gap (d3) using feeler gauges then remove the measured amount from the high blade by grinding, (blade may require surface grinding at a machine shop). If the difference between the blades is excessive, install new blades. DO NOT ADD SHIMS BEHIND THE PRIMARY BLADES. It is imperative that the primary blade faces are parallel/even in order to achieve correct blade clearance between the primary and secondary blades. Once the primary blades are in place, use thread adhesive (t41) on the blade bolts (OO) and torque to the NPK specifications

71 M-SERIES K (SHEAR) JAW MAINTENANCE BLADE MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT Step 3: Install either reconditioned (used) or new secondary blades (BG1) in female jaw (BI) blade pockets (DM), tighten blade bolts. Begin closing the jaws until the first primary jaw blade (BG) begins passing the first secondary blade (BG1), stop closing the jaws and measure the clearance (d60) between the two blades. Record the clearance, (example.015 ); continue closing the jaws stopping to record the clearance (d61) at the second female blade and the clearance (d62) at the third female blade

72 M-SERIES K (SHEAR) JAW MAINTENANCE BLADE MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT NPK shim packs have a variety of shims (i.e.,.005,.010,.024,.060,.120), install the required amount of shims behind each secondary blade until a clearance of.005 is achieved between all primary and secondary blades. (One shim pack for each blade recommended). After blade shimming is complete, remove each secondary blade bolt and apply thread adhesive and torque to NPK specifications. Step 4: The female jaw (BI) also has a guide blade (DF) and a spacer plate (DE); this blade is located directly across from the first secondary blade (BG1). The guide blade (DF) must also be shimmed as close as possible to the side of the piercing tip (DA). Begin closing the jaws until the piercing tip (DA) just enters the tunnel, stop and measure the clearance (d63) between the guide blade (DF) and the side of the piercing tip (DA). Install the required amount of shims to reduce this gap to.005. Apply thread adhesive and torque the guide blade bolts to NPK specifications. Special Note: The guide blade clearance will have to be rechecked after any weld build-up of the piercing tip

73 M-SERIES K (SHEAR) JAW MAINTENANCE BLADE MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT Step 5: Inspect the tunnel blade (DB), located in the bottom of the female jaw (BI). If the lead edge is worn or rounded off, remove and turn the blade. This blade can be turned four times. There is a spacer plate (DE) between the blade and the pocket, be sure to install this spacer. Tunnel blade does not require shimming. Apply thread adhesive and torque bolts to NPK specifications

74 JAW INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE HARDFACING If hardfacing is to be performed, the jaw must be preheated to F ( C) before the hardfacing is applied. Failure to preheat the tip area will result in the hardfacing to crack and chip off prematurely. Using a suitable hardface rod, apply the material in stringer beads vertically on the front and sides of the piercing tip and parallel to the moveable jaw on the lower face of the piercing tip. This pattern will allow for the most efficient piercing and the least amount of interference. Peen after each pass and maintain inner pass temperature. DO NOT APPLY MORE THAN TWO (2) LAYERS OF HARDFACE MATERIAL! After hardfacing is completed, grind the piercing tip to the desired profile. Do not pierce with the tip until the tip area temperature has normalized. This process takes approximately 12 hours. It is recommended that the tip area is covered with a heat blanket, covered with dry sand, floor dry or other suitable material. Refer to page 76 and use the same procedure

75 JAW INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE JAW AND TOOTH REBUILD PROCEDURE Due to the abrasive nature of the material being crushed, jaw wear will occur on the M20S/M28S/M38S and M20G/M28G/M38G. The jaws must be built up with hardface weld when the clearance between the tip of the jaws in the closed position is worn to the extent that the material can no longer be crushed efficiently. To ensure maximum crushing performance of the M20S/M28S/M38S or M20G/M28G/M38G, this rebuild procedure, comprised of three steps, should be followed: 1. Surface Preparation 2. Underlayment Weld 3. Hardface Weld 1. SURFACE PREPARATION Grind the entire worn area until it is smooth and clean. Remove all paint, grease, oil, dirt and old hardfacing material before welding. 2. UNDERLAYMENT Underlayment weld is necessary to build-up the base material (DH) to match the original jaw or tooth profile before hardfacing. You cannot hardface directly over old hardfacing. Welding rod: Airco Austex 361, Cronatron 7770, Eutectic 3205, Postalloy 205, Stoody 2110 or equal. In Canada: NCH Canada Inc. Hi-Pact #194 or equal. Dry welding rod at 300 F+ (150 C +). Pre-heat the jaw weld area to 300 to 400 F (150 to 200 C) and maintain this temperature during the welding operation. It is very important to maintain this temperature in cold environments. Adjust weld current to rod manufacturer s specification. Peen each layer. Cool slowly. Cover weld in cold environments

76 JAW INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE JAW AND TOOTH REBUILD PROCEDURE 3. HARDFACE Hardface (WW) can only be applied over base (DH) material or underlayment weld (XX). Never hardface existing hardface. Welding Rod: Airco Tubecraft 1A, Cronatron 7355, Eutectic N6006, Postalloy 214, Stoody 31 or equal. In Canada: NCH Canada Inc. Wear-X #176 or equal. Dry welding rod at 300 F+. Pre-heat the jaw weld area to 350 F and maintain this temperature during the welding operation. It is very important to maintain this temperature in cold environments. Adjust weld current to rod manufacturer s specifications. Peen each layer. Do not exceed 2-3 layers of hardface. Cool slowly. Cover weld in cold environments.

84 JAW SET INTERCHANGE TOOLS AND SUPPLIES Following are the tools and supplies needed to properly change jaw sets. At least one lifting device, such as a crane or lift truck with adequate capacity for the particular model. Lifting strap or chain with adequate capacity for the particular model Securing device such as a chain or strap Three wood blocks, 4 x 4 (100 x 100mm) or larger Supporting device, such as a second crane or lift truck 14 mm hex key socket (Available as P/N M ) ½ drive breaker bar 14 mm hex key Brass drift Dead blow hammer or non-metallic rod or hammer (such as nylon or wood) Ball peen hammer Sledge hammer Assembly tube, NPK P/N for the M20 and P/N for both the M28 and M38 Spanner wrench ¾ and ½ air gun (if available) 2 - #20 JIC steel caps If removed jaw set is to be stored: Grease Wood pallet Protective tarp for outside storage is recommended

85 JAW SET INTERCHANGE PROCEDURE FOR JAW SET INTERCHANGE A. Safe handling procedures must be followed to avoid personal injury. B. Lifting and securing mechanisms must be of adequate capacity to safely support the particular model or jaw sets. UNIT POSITIONING For ease of pin removal/assembly, it is recommended that the unit be positioned with the pins parallel to the ground. Changing the jaw sets with the pins perpendicular to the ground is possible, but more difficult. Removal of a jaw set from the Material Processor may be accomplished more easily with the jaw set in the open position. Cap hydraulic ports at this time. 1. To place the unit in the best position, wrap a lifting strap or chain around one of the cylinder sub-assemblies (c11) near the cylinder jaw pin (c9). 2. Using the crane or lifting device (t34), slowly raise the unit until it is resting on a cylinder rod cover (c29)

86 JAW SET INTERCHANGE 3. While maintaining crane or lifting device engagement (t34), place two wood blocks (t20) under each side of the main frame toward the top bracket end. Also place a wood block (t20) under the cylinder rod cover near the cylinder jaw pin. These wood block positions will help stabilize the unit and will provide sufficient ground clearance for jaw set removal. 4. Reposition the lifting strap or chain (t4) by wrapping it through the bore of the upper jaw (BI). For safety, maintain crane or lifting device engagement. The unit is now positioned for detachment of the jaws from the cylinders and detachment of the jaw set from the main frame by removal of the three pins circled in the illustration

87 JAW SET INTERCHANGE DETACHMENT OF JAWS FROM THE CYLINDER SUB- ASSEMBLIES 5. Support the top cylinder sub-assembly (c11) with a wood block (t20) to prevent its fall and potential damage when the cylinder jaw pin (c9) is removed. 6a. Begin with either of the cylinder jaw pins. Using a hex key socket (t42), remove the two socket head bolts (OO), early units. 6b. Begin with either of the cylinder jaw pins using a hex key socket (t42), remove the socket head bolt (OO), late units

88 JAW SET INTERCHANGE 7a. Manually remove the cylinder pin lock plate (c30), early units. 7b. Using a socket, remove the cylinder pin locking plate (c31). Note: Left hand thread (49), late units. 8a. Remove the cylinder pin (c9), early units. 8b. Remove the cylinder pin (c9), late units. Once the cylinder jaw pin is removed, the jaw may rock forward. 9. Repeat Steps 6 through 8 to detach the second jaw from the second cylinder subassembly

89 JAW SET INTERCHANGE DETACHMENT OF A JAW SET FROM THE MAIN FRAME 10. Locate the socket head bolt (OO) on the pivot pin nut (c32). 11. Using a hex key socket (t42), remove the socket head bolt (OO). 12. Loosen the pivot pin nut (c32) with a spanner wrench or by angling a brass drift (t43) into one of the blind holes, and tapping with a hammer (t29). ATTENTION Avoid damaging the threads in the frame

90 JAW SET INTERCHANGE DETACHMENT OF A JAW SET FROM THE MAIN FRAME 13. Once loosened, remove the pivot pin nut (c32). 14. Using a non-metallic (e.g. nylon, wood) rod (t3) or hammer, drive the jaw pivot pin (BJ) so that it extends out only about 1 (25mm) on this side

91 JAW SET INTERCHANGE DETACHMENT OF A JAW SET FROM THE MAIN FRAME It is at this stage that the assembly tube, NPK P/N for M20 or P/N for M28/M38, is used to keep the jaws united as the jaw pivot pin is removed. 15. Set assembly tube in the bore snugly against the jaw pivot pin. 16. Install the assembly tube (t44) by carefully driving it through the bore. This action will simultaneously push the jaw pivot pin (BJ) out the other side, and lock the jaws together. Continue careful driving of the assembly tube until the jaw pivot pin extends ( mm) from the main frame, then stop. 17. Support the jaw pivot pin (BJ) to prevent its free fall upon total removal, such as with a lifting strap (t27) attached to a crane. ATTENTION Avoid damaging the threads when the pin is removed. 18. Continue driving the assembly tube until it is centered in the jaw set. 19. Complete the removal of the jaw pivot pin by pulling it out or tapping on the underside of the pin s head plate

92 JAW SET INTERCHANGE JAW SET REMOVAL 20. For easier removal of the jaw set (DO) from the main frame (DN), chain (t4) or strap the jaws together to restrict their movement. Remove the jaw set from the main frame with a crane or other lifting device by moving forward, not up or down. JAW SET STORAGE If the removed jaw set is to be stored, pack bushings with grease, lay the jaw set on a pallet, and cover with a waterproof tarp if storage is outside. INSTALLATION OF A JAW SET INTO THE MAIN FRAME NOTE: New jaw sets are shipped pre-assembled with factory-installed assembly tubes. Jaw sets that have been used and removed from a Material Processor will be equipped with the assembly tube from the removal operation. If this is not the case, contact the NPK Service Department for assistance. 21. For easier installation of the jaw set (DO) into the main frame (DN), chain or strap (t4) the jaws together to restrict their movement. Wrap a lifting strap or chain (t4) through the bore in the upper jaw and attach it to a crane or other lifting device

93 JAW SET INTERCHANGE 22. Lift the jaw set (DO) and insert it into the main frame (DN) from the front, not the top or the bottom. For better movement control, a second strap can be used to help level the jaw set. Adjust as necessary to align the jaw pivot pin bore on the jaw set with the jaw pivot pin bore on the main frame. Maintain this position. This is a tight, no-shim design. Alignment for insertion is critical. ATTACHMENT OF JAWS TO THE MAIN FRAME 23. Manually insert the jaw pivot pin (BJ) into the jaw pivot pin bore until it rests in the bore without support. 24. Drive the jaw pivot pin (BJ) in until the assembly tube (t44) extends out about 10 (250mm) on the other side. Remove the assembly tube. Continue driving the jaw pivot pin (BJ) until the head plate is flush with the main frame (DN)

94 JAW SET INTERCHANGE 25. Install the pivot pin nut (c32). Tighten with a spanner wrench, or by driving with a brass drift (t43). The bore on the pivot pin nut (c32) must be aligned with the threaded bore (75) on the main frame. 26. Using a hex key socket (t42), install the socket head bolt (OO) securing the pivot pin nut (c32). See bolt torques section for correct torque. ATTACHMENT OF JAWS TO THE CYLINDER SUB- ASSEMBLIES 27. Begin with either of the cylinder jaw pins. Align the bore on the jaw with the bore on the cylinder. 28. Insert the cylinder jaw pin (c9) into the bore, early units. Late Units

101 TROUBLESHOOTING DETERMINE THE TYPE OF PROBLEM Performance problems are classified as LOSS OF POWER or LOSS OF CYCLE SPEED (assuming the problem is not due to misapplication). TROUBLESHOOTING FOR LOSS OF POWER Tools and Equipment required: Pressure gauge 5,000 psi Test port adapter to fit #4 SAE female port in shut-off valve Test hose rated for 5,000 psi Procedure Install pressure test hoses in both shut-off valve test ports, see page 32 for location, and proceed according to the flow chart below

102 TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING FOR LOSS OF POWER

103 TROUBLESHOOTING PROPER OPERATION OF BOOSTER CRUSHER BOOSTER WORKING PROPERLY (CLOSE CYCLE) A rapid clicking sound will be heard as the jaws begin to close and meet resistance. As jaws grasp tighter onto the material, the clicking will begin to slow. This slowing will continue until the material is either broken or the crusher meets full resistance. At full resistance, the clicking will slow dramatically or sometimes stop completely. If this occurs, the crusher/booster is functioning correctly. DETERMINING IF THE PRESSURE INTENSIFIER IS ACTUATING Close the jaws, without material in them. When the CRUSHER cylinder is fully stroked, the load pressure rises until it reaches the sequence valve setting (P1) and the oil is diverted to the pressure intensifier. The load pressure momentarily levels off at the sequence valve pressure, then rises to the CRUSHER (BV) relief valve setting (P2). The excavator relief valve acts only as a safety relief, and must be set a minimum of 200 psi above the CRUSHER relief valve setting P2 shown below. If the pressure intensifier is functioning correctly, it will make a rapid clicking sound for several seconds and then slow down. FIG. 1 PROCESSOR MODEL Sequence Valve Pressure Setting P1 Processor Relief Valve Setting P2 SERIAL NO. psi bar psi bar M20 ALL 2, , M28 ALL 2, , M38 ALL 2, ,

104 TROUBLESHOOTING CHECKING BOOSTED PRESSURE NPK has a gauge assembly (0 15,000 psi), P/N L , available to directly check the boosted pressure on all Material Processors. These units have three hex head o- ring plugs on the booster assembly as shown below. The procedure for testing is shown below: 1. Remove one of the plugs shown and install adapter P/N K Choose the plug that will give you gauge clearance and best viewing. 2. Install adapter P/N L onto gauge P/N L Use thread sealant. 3. Install gauge onto adapter P/N K , which has been installed on booster. 4. Close jaw all the way with the engine speed just above idle. Pressure will rise to the point where booster starts (3,000 psi), and then go up to full boosted pressure of approximately 12,000+ psi. When the clicking of the booster slows, then you are at full intensification; click....click....click....etc., is normal. If the clicking continues rapidly and will not slow down, then there may be a problem with the booster or crusher cylinder. 5. Open jaw all the way. You will now read the relief setting of the jaw open circuit, 3,625 psi. Note that the booster only works on jaw close. Jaw open sees Processor relief or machine circuit relief, whichever is lower.

105 TROUBLESHOOTING IF THE UNIT APPEARS NOT TO BE FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY, THE FOLLOWING CHECKS MUST BE MADE: JAW CLOSES AND NO CLICKING IS HEARD AND MATERIAL IS NOT BEING BROKEN AS EXPECTED This indicates that the crusher is not going into the boosted mode. This may indicate a problem with the crusher or the carrier crusher circuit. This will require further investigation by a mechanic using Material Processor Service Manual, see pages 101 and 102 and/or contacting the NPK Service Department at RAPID CONTINUOUS CLICKING IS HEARD AND THE MATERIAL IS NOT BEING BROKEN AS EXPECTED This indicates that a problem is in the booster or the cylinder of the Material Processor. This requires further investigation by a mechanic/technician, Ref. to chart, Fig. 1 on page 103 to determine if booster is functioning to specifications. JAW DRIFT Some drift may be experienced depending on Processor position. Acceptable drift may occur over a number of minutes. Rapid drift: This may indicate a problem with the cylinders, booster, swivel manifold and carrier circuit. TO DETERMINE IF THE JAW DRIFT IS OCCURRING FROM A BAD CYLINDER 1. Remove the hoses from the bulkhead fittings on the outside of the crusher frame. 2. Cap the bulkheads (#20 JIC caps). 3. If the jaw drifts, the problem is in the cylinder or pilot checks in booster. If no drift occurs, then problem is in the carriers main control valve. If drift is due to main control valve internal leak, this problem may be inherent to your carrier and may not be solvable. CYCLE TIMES Note: If jaws will not open or close, be sure right and left shut-off blocks are open. The specified cycle times of the Processor are controlled by the flow provided by the circuit of the carrier. The published cycle times of the Processor are a direct result of the maximum published oil flow, see pages 12 thru

106 TROUBLESHOOTING ROTATION The rotation speed is a direct result of the amount of flow (GPM) supplied by the rotation circuit of the carrier. The chart below lists the recommended rotation speed and approximate flow required. MODEL ROTATION SPEED APPROXIMATE FLOW M RPM GPM LPM M RPM GPM LPM M RPM GPM LPM Adjust the rotation flow so that the RPM is within the guidelines shown for your model. Excessive overspeeding of the unit rotation will result in damage to the motor, gearbox, and bearing. UNIT WILL NOT ROTATE 1. Check hydraulic flow through the rotation circuit (ref. chart above for proper flow rates for your unit). 2. If flow is good, install gauges in the rotation circuit lines. 3. Position unit so that it will not rotate. 4. Attempt to rotate the unit in both directions. Each gauge should read 2,000 psi. 5. If 2,000 psi is not achieved, adjust relief valve cartridges (c17,c18) on the rotation holding valve (BO) (Fig. 1). 6. If adjustment is not possible, call NPK at UNIT WILL NOT HOLD POSITION 1. Follow steps 2 through 6 above

107 TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING FOR SLOW CYCLE SPEED Tools and Equipment required: Pressure gauge 5,000 psi Test port adapter to fit #4 SAE female port in shut-off valve Test hose rated for 5,000 psi Flow meter Pressure loading type, 60 gpm min. capacity Procedure Install pressure gauge in test port located in shut-off valve, see page 32, and proceed according to the flow chart below:

108 TROUBLESHOOTING CHECKING THE HYDRAULIC FLOW AT RATED PRESSURE 1. Installation of a Flow Meter Equipped with Pressure Loading Valve. Install the flow meter (t36) between the crusher close line (CE) and return (not shown) as shown below. Generally, the pressure line is on the left and the return is on the right. 2. Determine Return Line Pressure (Pressure Drop). Open both stop valves and actuate the circuit. Measure the pressure with the load valve of the pressure / flow meter in full open condition. 3. Determine Relief Valve Pressure and Oil Flow. Measure flow and pressure with the flow meter. Adjust the load valve to zero restriction. Warm up the hydraulic system of the excavator to normal operating temperature. Set engine throttle to maximum. Press hammer foot switch. Turn in the loading valve knob and record the pressure and flow at regular intervals (P 1 ) on graph paper. Record pressure on one axis of the graph and flow on the other. Increase pressure until relief setting (P 2 ) is reached. This is the circuit flow chart. Refer to Processor (A) specification chart for correct flow at 1,000 psi pressure
