RBI HYDRAULIC BREAKER USER MANUAL

IMPORTANT: When using a buffing grinder, apply flap around the inside diameter of the part only. If
applied along the axis, roundness will be affected.

Seal Bushing Inspection

Clean and inspect the cylinder seal bushing.
The seal bushing carries several specially
designed seals. Pay attention to the condition
and orientation of the old seals as they are
removed.
This may help to identify any operating problems
that the breaker had before it was dismantled.
If burrs are found on the seal bushing, use a buffing grindstone to remove them.
IMPORTANT: When using a buffing grinder, apply the flap wheel around the inside diameter of the part
only. If applied along the axis, roundness will be affected.
▲CAUTION!
Handle this component with care. Damage will cause breaker malfunction.
All parts should be thoroughly washed in clean solvent and dried with compressed air. Once the seal
bushing is clean and dry, protect it from dirt and set it aside.

Tie Rod Installation

Inspect the tie rod threads. If they are damaged beyond repair, the tie rod must be replaced.
1) Lubricate the tie rods and threads thoroughly using grease.
2) Install the tie rods and tighten until they bottom out in the front head.
3) The tie rods should turn in smoothly and easily until they seat themselves. If they do not bottom
out or there is excessive resistance, the threads on the tie rods may be damaged.
NOTE: As a reference, tie rod torque can be found in Torque Specifications

Cylinder Installation
1) Check the cylinder for burrs.
2) Liberally oil the inside surface of the cylinder and the new
seals, and then install the seals and rings into the grooves
at the lower end of the cylinder.
3) Lower the cylinder carefully onto the tie rods. The control
valve mounting holes on the cylinder must face the same
direction as the grease fitting on the front head.
