Proper storage of an excavator hydraulic breaker involves multiple key steps to preserve its performance and extend service life. Below are essential storage guidelines:
Temperature and Humidity: Store the hydraulic breaker in a location with minimal temperature fluctuations to avoid damage from extreme heat or cold. Keep the environment dry to prevent rust and corrosion.
Moisture and Rain Protection: Ensure the storage area is fully protected against moisture and rain to avoid erosion of the breaker and its components.
Remove the Chisel: Detach the chisel before long-term storage to reduce potential damage to the piston and cylinder.
Release Nitrogen: Bleed the nitrogen from the breaker to allow the piston to fully retract into the cylinder, preventing piston rust.
Rust Prevention: Apply grease or rust inhibitor to the piston end. Coat the chisel and bushing with anti-rust oil or inhibitor to prevent corrosion.
Vertical Placement: Preferably store the hydraulic breaker vertically to maintain structural stability and minimize deformation risks.
Horizontal Placement: If vertical storage is not feasible, lay the breaker flat on a wooden floor. Ensure it is placed stably to avoid wobbling or tilting.
Wooden Blocks: When placing the breaker on wooden blocks, ensure the blocks are flat and secure. For storage periods exceeding 6 months, inspect the corrosion condition of all hydraulic seals and bolts in the cylinder before use.
Rotate for Inspection: To maintain seal performance, rotate the breaker’s position every three months and check the condition of seals.
Comprehensive Inspection: Conduct a full inspection every six months, including checking the corrosion status of all internal cylinder seals and bolts. Repair or replace damaged parts promptly if necessary.
Connector Protection: Seal the connectors for attaching to excavators, loaders, and main components with protective caps to prevent dust from entering the hydraulic hoses.
Component Check: Confirm all breaker components are in good condition before long-term storage. Repair or replace damaged parts to ensure overall performance and safety.
In summary, storing an excavator hydraulic breaker requires careful consideration of the storage environment, pre-storage preparation, placement method, regular maintenance, and other key factors. Proper storage practices help maintain the breaker’s performance and extend its service life.
