MAVERICK™ Hammers MAVERICK™ Owners & Operators Manual SECTION 3 - How the Hammer Operates Through Bolt: The Front Head, Cylinder and the Back-Head of the main body are secured with four through bolts. Back-Head: The Gas Charging Valve is integral and charged with N2-gas. Valve Assembly: The Cylindrical control valve is built in to the valve housing and controls piston reciprocation. Piston: Kinetic energy of the piston is converted into hammering energy after striking the Tool. The Hammer energy is transmitted to the Tool. Front Head: The Front Head supports the force of the hammer. The Thrust Ring and the Thrust Bushing attenuate recoil from the Tool. Tool: The MAVERICK™ Tool is heat-treated and is directly applied to subject material. Accumulator Assembly: The accumulator compensates for pressure changes in the hydraulic circuit. Charge with N2-gas only.

MAVERICKâ&#x201E;˘ Hammers MAVERICKâ&#x201E;˘ Owners & Operators Manual Principle of Operation The relationship between the pressure affected area A1 of the piston rear chamber and the pressure affected area A2 of the piston front chamber is A1>A2. High-pressure oil is applied to A2. When oil pressure applied to A1 is changed from high to low pressure and vice versa. Piston C2 then reciprocates. Similarly the relationship between the pressure affected area A3 of the valve high-pressure chamber and the pressure affected area A4 and A3. Highpressure oil is applied to A3, A4, nd A3<A4. Therefore, the Valve is move the A4 side and vice versa, valve C4 changes to alter the port to the piston rear chamber B1 from the high-pressure side to the low-pressure side and vice versa and, in accordance with the reciprocation of valve C4, piston C2 reciprocates. Further, the Back-Head is charged with N2-gas. When the piston moves backward, the N2-gas is compressed to store the gas energy and, when the piston hammers, the gas energy is converted into piston hammering energy.
Piston Startup When high-pressure oil is applied to the IN port of the hydraulic hammer, the high-pressure oil acts upon the piston front chamber A2 and valve high-pressure chamberV1 to hold down the valve. As the piston rear chamber B1 is connected to the OUT port through the valve and changed to the low-pressure side, piston C2 starts moving backward under the high-pressure oil applied to the pressure affected area A2 of the piston front chamber. At this time, N2-gas in the Back-Head is compressed.
Page 10
MAVERICKâ&#x201E;˘ Hammers MAVERICKâ&#x201E;˘ Owners & Operators Manual Valve Charging When the piston moves backward and the piston rear chamber B1 is connected to the valve change port B3, the highpressure oil acts upon the valve change chamber V4 and the valve changes. At this time, the piston rear chamber B1 is disconnected from the valve low-pressure chamber V3 and connected to the valve high-pressure chamber V1 and pressure in the piston rear chamber B1 increase.
Piston Hammering Stroke When piston C2 reaches top dead center, high-pressure oil from the valve high-pressure chamber V1 acts upon the piston rear chamber B1 and in the hammering stroke is converted into the compressed gas energy in the Back-Head. The valve is held open because of the high-pressure chamber V1 and valve change chamber V4.

Oil Hose Plug The Oil hose plug is a stopper aimed at
preventing mud or dust from entering the oil hose attached to the hydraulic hammer during the bucket operation.
Union Cap Union caps prevents mud or dust from
entering the pipe lines attached to the machine body.
When storing the hammer for long periods (more than three months), clean the exterior of the hammer. Remove the Tool from the hammer and spray with rust preventive oil. . Have a trained technician or a MAVERICK™ Dealer or Authorized Service Center relieve the N2-gas from the Back-Head and push the piston into the cylinder. Grease should be applied to each part of the hammer cylinder wall and then the tool should be re-installed NOTICE: For Storing the hammer over extended periods (more than three (3) weeks) the hammer should be stored vertically in a stable position. Please contact MAVERICK™ or your nearest MAVERICK™ Dealer for a Storage Stand (not included)
SECTION 5 - Operation (Hammering) Proper position of the tool The hammer must be applied in the proper position for effective use its force and to prevent damage to the hammer or carrier equipment. When the position is incorrect, the hammer energy of the piston is not transferred properly and the hammer’s force shocks the hammer and the stick and boom of the carrier machine.
Page 18
MAVERICK™ Hammers MAVERICK™ Owners & Operators Manual
When the position of the front of the base machine is raised (including tracks), the machine may suddenly tilt forward when the subject material is broken. The hammer body may hit the ground and/or subject material and result in damage to hammer and/or carrier equipment.
Alignment of the Tool Apply the direction of force in line with the Tool and place the Tool on the hammering surface vertically (perpendicular to the surface of the subject material). DO NOT PLACE THE TOOL AT AN ANGLE TO THE MATERIAL OR PRY WITH THE HAMMER TOOL. This may cause the Tool to seize or break and will cause piston damage.

Operation Precautions
IMPORTANT • DO NOT BREAK CONTINUOUSLY IN ONE PLACE - CONTINUOUS PENETRATION IN THE SAME AREA FOR LENGTHILY PERIODS WILL CREATE EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURES AT THE END OF THE TOOL RESULTING IN LOSS OF TEMPER(HARDNESS) OF THE TOOL AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE TIP OF THE TOOL, AND MAY LEAD TO FAILURE OF THE BIT
IMPORTANT • NEVER USE THE TOOL OR HAMMER AS A PRYING OR LIFTING DEVICE
CAUTION • BEFORE LEAVING THE CARRIER, ALWAYS LOWER THE BOOM SO THAT THE CARRIER IS STABLE. NEVER LEAVE THE MACHINE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING • ALWAYS ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE BEFORE LEAVING THE CONTROLS
Page 20
MAVERICK™ Hammers MAVERICK™ Owners & Operators Manual Stop operation if Hammer hoses jump or vibrate excessively. Excessive vibration of both hoses of the hammer calls for instant disassembly and repair of the Hammer. If this occurs, immediately contact MAVERICK™ or a MAVERICK™ Dealer or Authorized Service Center
Avoid all blank firing of the hammer The moment the subject material is broken, stop hammering. Continuous blank firing the Hammer will damage front head, piston, and loosen and break internal bolts. Blank firing occurs when the Tool is not properly applied with pressure to the subject material (rocks) or the hammer or the Tool is used as a prying device. A sign of this is when hammer recoil sound becomes extremely rapid during hammer operation.
Page 21
MAVERICKâ&#x201E;˘ Hammers MAVERICKâ&#x201E;˘ Owners & Operators Manual Avoid moving rocks with the side of the Hammer
Do not use the Tool as a lever. Do not pry with the hammer or the tool! Never use the tool as a lever. Damage to the tool or hammer will result.
Page 22
MAVERICKâ&#x201E;˘ Hammers MAVERICKâ&#x201E;˘ Owners & Operators Manual Continuous Hammering Extended hammering at the same place causes the excessive tool wear (due to overheating) and could result in tool failure.
Always begin breaking material at an edge This will result in the most efficient operation of the hammer
DO NOT operate the hammer at fifty percent (50%) engine speed Raising engine speed more than necessary does not strengthen the hammer force and increases hydraulic oil temperature which will result in damage the hammers internal components.
Page 23
MAVERICK™ Hammers MAVERICK™ Owners & Operators Manual Do not operate the hammer in water and mud Do not operate the hammer when components (except Tool) are immersed in water and/or mud. The piston and similar components may gather rust and become damaged.

MAVERICK™ Hammers MAVERICK™ Owners & Operators Manual Greasing and Lubricating To grease hammer: With the hammer mounted on the carrier, apply down pressure on the Tool and pump grease into grease fitting as indicated on hammer to fill cavity with the recommended grease.
Greasing/Lubricating the Hammer STEPS 1.With the hammer mounted on carrier, apply pressure to the Tool, in the vertical position. 2.Fill the cavity with recommended grease 3.Grease AT LEAST EVERY THREE HOURS OF USE 4.When installing a new Tool, liberally coat the upper 1/3 of the Tool with grease before inserting 5.Avoid getting rock or cement chips into the tool cavity when replacing hammer tools. Particles which may have adhered to the grease can cause scratches and scaring inside the hammer. 6.Failure to comply with these instructions WILL result in damage to the hammer and may void any warranty
Grease MAVERICK™ Hydraulic Hammers are equipped with grease fittings. Lack of lubrication can cause failure of the working tool, piston, and or shorten the life of the seals. An NLGI NO.2 grease is recommended. The following is a list of the recommended greases: SHELL ALVANIA EP2, ESSO LITHTAN EP2, MOBIL MOBILPLEX 48
Hydraulic Oil
Page 28
MAVERICK™ Hammers MAVERICK™ Owners & Operators Manual Selection of Oil The Selection of the hydraulic oil determines the efficiency of the hydraulic hammer’s performance. MAVERICK™ recommends Shell Tellus56/Mobile DTE26 and Shell Tellus Oil 46/Mobile DTE25 for cold weather operations. Please consult with MAVERICK™ or an Authorized MAVERICK™ Dealer or Service Center under following conditions: a) When used in special regions where the climate is extremely cold or hot. Oil viscosity may be changed at different constant ambient air temperatures. b) When recommended brand of hydraulic oil is not available. c) When hydraulic oils supplied for the base machine differ from the recommended one.
Oil Contamination Contaminated oil will result in malfunctions of the hammer as well as the base machine and cause damage. Pay special attention to oil contamination. Contaminated oil should be changed without delay. When changing oil, thoroughly wash the oil tank, the carriers cylinders and pipes. When cleaning or replacing the oil filter always check for oil contamination. • Replacement of the filter: After first 50 hours and every 100 hours of hammer use. • Replacement of the hydraulic oil: Every 300 hours of Carrier or Hammer use.
WARNING • HYDRAULIC OIL TEMPERATURE AND VISCOSITY Do not operate the hydraulic hammer at oil temperatures from 20°C /68°C to 80°C /176°C. Operation at higher temperatures can damage the internal components of the hammer and the excavator, which will result in reduced hammer performance.

MAVERICK™ Hammers MAVERICK™ Owners & Operators Manual Criteria of Oil Contamination and Malfunction (General Analysis) Analysis Item
Criteria
Adhesiveness
Within ±10% (104f/40°C cst)
Oxidizing Level
Less than 0.3 (mg KOH/g)
Moisture
Less than 0.1(%)
Causes and Effects when exceeds the criteria Adhesiveness rarely decreases due solely to of oil use. Entry of different kinds of oil may reduce the adhesiveness which contributes to rising oil temperatures, wear and stretch of bearings and gears, and malfunction of hammer. Use of lubricating oil for long periods under high temperatures will oxidize it. Oxidizing level rises as oxidization proceeds. Sludge will be produced during the process, leading to unsatisfactory operation of the hammer, erosion of metals or obsolescence of seal materials. Moisture causes rust, wear and stretch. Moisture of >0.1% gathers a considerable amount of rust inside of the hammer. moisture of >0.3% more will cause severe damage to the hammer.
Criteria of Hydraulic Oil Failure by Oil Color (Discrimination by ASTM color) Hydraulic oil becomes darker when it is contaminated or worn. Hydraulic oil is contaminated when there is a visual difference between the operating oil and new oil color, and functions begin to deteriorate when hydraulic oil becomes darker than the new oil color by more than (ASTM number) two (2).
