Machine Calibration Procedure Perform all steps necessary to prepare the machine and the hammer for safely calibrating the machine. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual (OMM) for your specific machine OMM) for the proper safety procedures. |
Before the hammer can be returned to service, the auxiliary lines kit for the machine must be calibrated to ensure the correct flow and pressure is being delivered to the hammer. |
Failure to complete this procedure can result in higher owning and operating costs as well as damage to the hammer or the machine. |
All testing must be done with the hydraulic oil of the machine at operating temperature ? 50C. |

1. Verify the setting of the 375-5727 auxiliary circuit pressure relief valve. The valve should be set to 240 - 250 bar. a. With the hammer installed, close the return side ball valve on the machine. b. Install a pressure gauge capable of reading pressure above 250 bar. c. Active the auxiliary circuit and record the pressure shown on the gauge. i. If the relief pressure is above 250 bar, loosen the jam nut and turn the adjustment screw counter-clockwise to reduce the opening pressure for the relief valve. Tighten the jam nut if the relief pressure is below 240 - 250 bar, loosen the jam nut and turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase the opening pressure for the relief valve. Tighten the jam nut. d. Repeat Step 1c to retest the relieve valve pressure to verify that the valve is set to 240 - 250 bar. e. Remove the pressure gauge and open the return side ball valve. |

2. Install a flow meter onto the machine auxiliary circuit. Operate the auxiliary circuit of the machine and record the flow when the flow meter reads 170 Bar. The flow should be 190 Liters per minute (Lpm) at 170 Bar. Flow is adjusted by the 1U-1100 Valve a. If the flow is greater than 190 Lpm at 170 Bar, loosen the jam nut and turn the adjustment screw counter- clockwise to reduce the pilot pressure to the valve spool. Tighten the jam nut. b. If the flow is less than 190 Lpm at 170 Bar, loosen the jam nut and turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase the pilot pressure to the valve spool. Tighten the jam nut. c. Repeat Step 2 in order to retest the flow to the auxiliary circuit. d. Disconnect the flow meter and reinstall the hammer onto the auxiliary circuit of the machine. |
