1.1. Basic safety information
WARNING!
The following instructions are those that should ALWAYS be observed in operation of
construction equipment.
Protect yourself
Operators and service personnel must wear appropriate safety
equipment, including hearing protection, respirator, hardhat, safety
shoes, eye protection, heavy gloves etc, as required.
Note: The wearing of loose clothing or any accessories such as

neckties, scarves, untied shoe laces, rings, wrist watches or long
hair could cause personal injury or death.
Always use the proper tools for inspection or maintenance work,

which must only be carried out after ensuring that the equipment
has been stopped completely, and it is placed suitably in a safe
place.
Know your equipment

Before installation or operation of the hammer, the operator and
maintenance personnel must read and understand the safety
messages, operation manual and service instructions.
Only the operator who has been trained and qualified to operate
the carrier and hammer should do so. Be skilled and
knowledgeable in all operational and technical aspects of the
carrier and hammer.
Know the work site

Before operating the hammer, check the area of work site for any
unusual conditions that could be dangerous, and prepare the
appropriate warnings for safe working. Be careful, particularly
when working in the vicinity of electric power lines, gas pipes or
other buried services.
Pay particular attention to other workers, bystanders and other

machinery that may pass by near to the work site. Immediately
stop operation of the hammer if personnel enter the danger area.

Know the rules
Everybody who operates or maintains the equipment should know
the meaning of the rules and laws in terms of handling the
equipment. Use the hammer in accordance with all regulations
regarding construction practice and public safety.
For emergency use, keep the fire extinguisher and the first-aid
case in the operator’s cab.

2 Low speed High speed

(mark ) (mark )
The RHB313 ~ RHB370 hydraulic hammers have a 2-speed selection valve on the cylinder body to change
the impact rate and the impact energy according to working condition.
Low speed: working with normal impact rate and maximum percussive power
Breaking large rocks embedded under ground, or breaking heavy-reinforced concrete structures requires
strong percussive power rather than high impact rate. When impact energy per blow of hammer is not
sufficient to make breakage on material, however fast impact rate may be, the hammer does not give
expected breaking productivity because the chisel cannot penetrate into the material.
For this kind of work, maximum percussive power, even though low impact rate, is needed.
The speed selection switch is set to the low speed mode (mark I) in the factory when delivered, as shown in
the previous figure.
High speed: working with increased impact rate and reduced percussive power
When breaking small or soft rocks, or when tearing up thin concrete surfaces reduced percussive power is
sufficient, and the impact rate switching system allows the hammer to be operated at a higher impact rate, by
reducing the stroke. The impact energy is thus adapted to the lighter application.
To change impact rate to high speed:
1. Push the locking button (2) with a small size screwdriver.
2. Turn the speed selection switch (1) counter-clockwise by using an 8 mm hex L-wrench so that the
locking button (2), faces toward the high speed mode (mark II).

3.2 Anti-blank-blow (Auto Stop) system
Applicable models
RHB320 and bigger Rhino hammers (RHB320 ~ RHB370)
General information
The RHB320 ~ RHB370 hydraulic hammers are equipped with Anti-Blank-Blow (Auto-Stop) function as
standard for easier operation and longer product life. The Anti-Blank-Blow function prevent the hammer
operating in no-load condition, i.e., when the chisel is not properly pre-loaded by contact with the object to be
broken.
Blank blows –in other word, idle blows– which apply impact on the chisel without contact with the object, are
very harmful for the hammer. Therefore, without the Anti-Blank-Blow function, the hammer always should be
pressed down onto the object before starting the hammer and should be stopped immediately as soon as the
object is broken. When operated without pre-load or operated furthermore after that the object is broken
completely, blank blows could result in excessive wear, deformation or breakage to major components such
as chisel, chisel pins, stop pins and front head.
With the Anti-Blank-Blow function, the hammer does not start operating unless the chisel is pre-loaded by
contact with the object, and the hammer stop operating automatically when the chisel does not contact with
the object according as the object is completely broken even though the operator keep operating switch
pressed ‘on’.
The Anti-Blank-Blow function is constructed with a by-pass line and a Shut-off Valve in the cylinder. The
Shut-off Valve is a switching valve to disable the Anti-Blank-Blow function for special application.
Purpose of the development

The blank blow of the hammer has resulted in the serious damage of the front head. Although operators are
already aware of this fact, it’s very hard for them to prevent the blank blow completely. So we developed the
anti-blank-blow(auto stop) function and applied to our hammer. It will make the hammer less damaged and
more durable than before.

<Fig 1 Hydraulic circuit diagram>
When the blank-blow happens, piston and chisel are normally located in the lower position as per the above
picture, Fig 1. In this condition, (A)Cylinder lower chamber, (B)Anti blank blow chamber and (C)Low pressure
chamber are all connected to the oil tank which means that piston can’t move up because (A)Cylinder lower
chamber maintains the pressure of low as long as (A)Cylinder lower chamber is connected with (B)Anti-
blank-blow chamber which is connected with the oil tank passing though the (C)Low pressure chamber.
If the chisel is pressed on the material, it moved up and settled, piston is also moved up by chisel. In this
condition, (B)Anti blank blow chamber is closed by piston and high pressure can be made at (A)Cylinder
lower chamber. At last, the hammer can be operated.
As a result, the hammer can not be operated till chisel is contacted with material and settled under the auto
stop function.

For special working condition, e.g. breaking over-size boulders or non-rigid object, the Anti-Blank-Blow
function can be disabled by inserting the Shut-off Valve as shown in the figure above.
To disable the Anti-Blank-Blow function,

3. Stop the carrier, and close the stop valves
4. Remove the Plug (which includes O-ring).
5. Insert the Shut-off Valve using a M10 bolt.
6. Tighten the Plug again with the specified torque.
To enable the Anti-Blank-Blow function again, remove the Shut-off Valve in the same way above.
Important! When operating the hammer with the Anti-Blank-Blow function disabled, be sure to not operating
the hammer in blank blowing condition.

Accumulator has the function that absorbes the pressure shock and made up the pressure, which makes the
operating pressure steable. It is helpful to hydraulic components including hydraulic pump. The high
fluctuation of the operating pressure can be cause of the failure of the hydraulic components. Especially
hydraulic pump is so sensitive to the fluctuation of the pressure.
EFFECT
The following graph describing the fluctuation of the pressure is gained under actual operating condition. As
seeing Fig1 and Fig2, the fluctuation of the pressure is different. Fig1’s is lower than Fig2’s, which means
that Fig1 is more steable than Fig2 by the accumulator’s function. Malfunction of accumulator is
accompanied with a high fluctuation of the pressure as following figures. High fluctuation is very harmful to
hydraulic components and makes damage to the hydraulic components every now and then. To eliminate
this kind of concern, Rhino hammer has installed the accumulator whose effect was verified through the
simulation and actual test.

5. Installation
IMPORTANT!
Improper installation can cause serious damage to the hammer and to the carrier. Do not
install the hammer if you are unsure. Contact your Rhino service team for more information.
5.1 How to select the right hammer
When you choose the hammer, you have to consider follow three factors(Rules of thumb):
The first point is the oil flow range of the available carrier.
Hydraulic hammer is operated by hydraulic power source of the carrier machine. So
considering the oil flow range to supply to hydraulic hammer is the significant point which
makes hammer to generate the optimal blow frequency and energy. Generally, we
recommend the 60-80% of carrier’s maximum oil flow for the perfact performace.
The second point is the weight class of the available carrier machine regarding to lifting capacity.
Hydraulic hammer is nomally used by attaching to a carrier machine such as an excavator,
backhoe, or skid-loader. These carrier machines have an available lifting capacity
respectively. Another significant point to be considered is lifting capacity which is lifting ability
of carrier machine. You have to choose the right carrier which has enough lifting capacity
related with hammer weight so that carrier would not be overturned.
The third point is the operating pressure of the available carrier.

Operating pressure of carrier must be higher than hammer’s so that hammer generates the
optimal impact power and energy. In addition, operator has to adjust the relief valve of carrier
machine as higher of 30-40 bar than the operating pressure of hammer before using it.

Check the nominal bore size of the hammer For sufficient cooling of oil, return oil from the
piping lines on the carrier. Both supply and hammer must run through oil cooler to oil tank.
return lines must have sufficiently large inner
diameters. Small line size causes backpressure
increase, overheating of oil or irregular blows.
Hydraulic pressure:
The hydraulic pressure and oil flow of the
carrier’s hammer piping should be adequate for
operating the hammer.
The maximum hydraulic pressure of the carrier
must be higher than the recommended relief
pressure setting for the hammer. If not, the
impact rate of the hammer becomes slow or the
hammer does not start blowing.

5.7. Hydraulic piping for breaker
5.8. Setting oil flow and pressure

Please identify attachment circuit. Below description is based on carrier with auxiliary circuit.
1. With the auxiliary circuit completely installed, connect the flow meter between the attachment inlet and
outlet hoses. Fully open restrictor on flow meter. (Breaker is not connected)
(Note) Always use the hoses that are supplied for the attachment and make sure that machine hydraulic oil
is between 40°C to 60°C (Celsius). This will assure correct readings and adjustments.
2. With the machine setting at the mode that’s going to be used to operate the attachment(B mode in
Komatsu carrier) and record LPM(Liter per minutes). Locate the correct flow for the attachment in the
manual under the specification section. Adjust the machine (Adjust RPM in case that there is no priority
flow control valve and make sure to operator not to exceed RPM on breaker operation to prevent
overflowing of the breaker.) to the correct LPM.
(Note) In case of carrier is equipped with priority flow control valve, set the machine to the highest LPM
output mode, and adjust flow to attachment piping. This will prevent the operator from over-flowing of the
attachment.
35
3. At this point pressure reading on the pressure gauge is the back pressure in the circuit. This pressure
must not exceed 25 bars. Excessive back pressure will lead to premature seal failure and over heating.
4. Close the restrictor valve on the flow meter until the attachment relief starts to crack or open. The relief
valve opens when the flow rate, indicated on the flow meter begins to decline rapidly. Adjust line relief
pressure to the specification of in the manual. When pressure gauge is not available, you can use display
panel inside of cabin. But this has low accuracy than individual pressure gauge. In this case set relief
pressure 50bar or more higher than maximum operating pressure.
Example)
Required hydraulic line (high pressure) relief pressure for RHB325
Operating pressure of RHB325 is 160~180 bar
With pressure on flow meter : 180+40 = 220bar
With pressure on display panel in cabin : 180+50 = 230bar
(Note)Check to make sure the carriers main (overload) relief is set to the manufacturer’s recommendation,
and this value is greater than or equal to the attachment line relief. If the setting is lower than
manufacturer’s recommendation, damage to the circuit may occur; excess heat will be generated in the
circuit which will damage the attachment and carrier. If the valve will not turn off, check the drain (tank) line
of the valve to ensure that the pressure is 4 bars or less
5.9. Heat load test

After setting flow and pressure, preventative test due to heat load can be checked as below.
1. With the installation kit properly installed and adjusted per above procedure conduct the heat load test.
2. Connect the flow meter as mentioned above. (Breaker is not connected)
3. With the carrier set in the attachment mode, restrict the flow slowly.
4. Wait till oil temperature reach 90°C and check flow. If the flow is less than stated minimum flow for a
breaker, the carrier requires maintenance. This is being noticed especially when the carrier is old.
5.10. Check points in attachment piping

Narrow diameter of hose or fitting
Hose or fitting with smaller diameter can cause loss of pressure and increase oil temperatures.
Please check on attachment piping if there is any narrow point by adaptor or fitting. This will increase oil
temperature and loss of pressure.
(This is why quick disconnect couplers is not recommended for breaker connection)
36
Connection
-Return line goes through cooler before it goes to tank (When return is connected to MCV, it will cause back
pressure since MCV is closed circuit)
-If auxiliary return line is connected to tank, the pipe needs to be extended to lower end of tank.
-Check the oil level: Add approximately 10 liters of oil when breaker is installed.
5.11. Flushing
Before installation of hydraulic breaker, flushing process are required to prevent any damages which
could be occurred by rust or foreign particles in piping.
1. Instruction for eliminating polluted oil and cleaning
① Prepare a 20 liter or bigger empty barrel. Stop

the oil to the barrel.
(Caution! : Do not push the breaker operating switch
until oil is exhausted completely.)
2. Instruction for flushing the hydraulic lines.

① After exhausting oil, connect in-line and out-line with a
hose directly.
② Set the engine to maximum rpm. Push the breaker
operating switch for 10 seconds, and stop it for 5
seconds. This process should be done repeatedly
at least 5 minutes.
③ For the effective flushing, hit hydraulic line gently by
rubber hammer. This process will be helpful for
removing foreign particles that are attached in
hydraulic lines.
④ Exchange the oil filter in excavator after
all flushing process is done.
37
5.12. Procedure after installing breaker to carrier
1. Connect hoses to breaker. Be careful not letting any contaminants to hydraulic hoses.
2. Make sure high & return hoses are correctly connected to breaker. Proper hose length between stop
valves of excavators is required.
3. Push breaker switch intermittently to remove air inside in breaker piping and circuit of breaker.
4. Start breaker from low RPM and increase it slowly to specified RPM to remove any complication that may
occur due to sudden operation.

5.20. Fitting / removing the chisel
WARNING!
The chisel shall only be installed in the way described. Failure to do so could allow the chisel
to be drawn out from the hammer with force possibly causing safety accidents.
When installing the chisel, the carrier must be switched off before fitting or removing the
chisel. Always wear safety glasses and gloves because metal chips or debris may fly off when
driving the chisel or the chisel pins.
Never put fingers in the chisel pin-bores of the hammer.
Do not stand in front of chisel; possible blank blow caused by the pressure trapped inside the
hammer can cause personnel injury.
In case of large size hammer, the chisels are very heavy and difficult to lift by hands. Always
use a hoist with a sling when lifting the chisel. Be careful of falling down.
After operating the hammer, the chisel, especially the tip, may remain very hot for some time
and can cause severe burn.
IMPORTANT!
Use only genuine Rhino chisels. Use of other brands of chisel may occur serious trouble to
the hammer and cause warranty rejected.
It is important that the chisel be used correctly for longer chisel life. Pay particular attention to
Section “6. Guide line for tool”, and refer to a extra document “Tool failure and warranty” to
determine the warranty guide for chisel failure.
In general the chisel is not fitted when the hammer is delivered. Before fitting the chisel, move the hydraulic
hammer into a horizontal position using the carrier and place it on a suitable support (e.g. squared beams).

guide is to enable you to advise your customer as the correct application of Rhino working tools and assist
you to resolve complaints immediately the occur. When a tool has apparently failed to give satisfactory
service life, a visual inspection often quickly resolves the cause and saves transport costs and frustraion

6.1. Tool description
Rhino, we have four different kinds of working tools. They are the moil point, flat wedge, flat end and wide flat
wedge. Each of these working tools has its own purpose to be used as described below:
Moil point
There are two kinds of moil point tools. They are conical and pyramid moil point.
This is by far the most popular and universal working tool. In this form of moil point
is forced inside the material. It’s acceptable to break from concrete to hard rock and
pavement.
Conical Pyramid
Flat wedge
There are two kinds of flat wedge tools. They are cross-cut and inline-cut. This form
of flat wedge tool is generally used for mining, foundation, trenching and benching.
It’s acceptable to penetrate and cut the soft material. Breaking hard material will
cause the sharp edges to wear very quickly.
Cros-cut Inline-cut
Flat end
This form of flat end tool also called blunt tool is used for shattering the irregularly
shaped material where its broad tip makes it easier to position as like coal, shale
and concrete which has a brittle and very abrasive attribute.
48
Wide flat wedge
This type tool is a kind of flat wedge made for special purpose to break
or cut the wide material, for example, trenching, foundation, cutting asphalt
pavement and finishing slopes.
To obtain the maximum production from the hydraulic hammer, it is important to select the proper working
tool. Consult your Rhino representative for assistance in selecting the proper working tool for your application.
49
6.2. Principle of breaking
There are basically two ways of breaking with a hydraulic hammer:
Penetrative (or cutting) breaking
In this form of breaking is forced inside the material. This method is most
effective in soft, layered or plastic, low abrasive material. Moil point and
wedge end tools are acceptable for this penetrative breaking. The high
impact rate of hammer makes it very suitable for penetrative breaking.
When working by this principles of penetrative breaking, you must be
careful for breaking hard material which causes shap edge to wear very
quickly.
Impact Breaking
In impact breaking, material is broken by transferring very strong

mechanical stress from the tool Into material to be broken. Best possible
energy transfer between tool and object is achieved with a blunt tool.
Impact breaking is most effective in hard, brittle and very abrasive
materials. Flat end tool is acceptable for this impact breaking
50
6.3. Tool failure and warranty
Rhino we have poduced and also provided working tools which are made from the high grade alloy and
optimized by heat treatment. Working tools, however well made, are wear parts, and are used in the most
destructive applications. Even when the hydraulic hammer is used properly, and the operator is an
experienced one, a working tool may become damaged. When working tool has been damaged, it is useful
to determine the cause immediately in order to prevent the damage from occurring again.
All Rhino tools are machined and hardened for maximum performance. Care must be taken to maintain the
tools original condition for optimum productivity and life expectancy. It is not uncommon for an operator who
is unfamiliar with using a hammer to break a point. This is part of the learning experience.
Listed below are several methods to determine tool failure and will quickly aid in warranty Determination:
TOOL FAILUTE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY
· Blank Firing or Free Running

This occurs when the tool is not in proper contact with the work, thus
causing the energy produced by the hammer to be concentrated on the
tool retainer(s) and the retainer slots on the tool itself. Caution should be
used to prevent the hammer from sliding off slanted surfaces or when
breaking through thin material. The drawing at the left is typical of the kind
of breakage that occurs from excessive blank firing(blowing).
· Worn-out Front Bushing(s) or Retainer pin(s)

Worn-out front bushing(s) will cause the tool to become misaligned inside the hammer. This misalignment
will cause uneven contact between the piston and tool, thus causing stress to concentrate on one particular
area of the tool. This can also cause the tool to bind inside the hammer. Call your Rhino dealer for
acceptable wear allowances. Worn-out retainer pin(s) will cause uneven loading on the pin(s) themselves,
causing failure of the tool or retainer pin(s). This will also cause excessive wear to the front bushing(s).
Metal-to-Metal Contact
Extreme caution should be used to avoid scratches or gouges on the
surface of the tool. These areas create a stress concentration point, thus
weakening the tool.
Another form of metal-to-metal contact is galling, which usually occurs from the lack of lubrication.
Special care should be taken to keep the tool shank lubricated every two (2) or three (3) hours.
51
Steel failures that were caused by surface damage take two main forms.
The simplest form is caused by deep scratches on working tool surface.
The broken surface has a shell pattern around the starting point of failure,
similar to the one in the fatigue failure. The other parts of the broken
surface are brittle. These failures work slowly through the tool until it
suddenly parts completely.
The second form of failure caused by surface damage occurs when there
are deep scratches on working tool surface and there was also excessive
bending stress. The broken surface also shows the shell pattern, but the
other parts of the broken surface are brittle and usually have a "lip" like
that in a stress failure.
In its most extreme forms, the combination of surface damage and severe bending can quickly break even
the best working tools. These two drawings show examples of severe stress breaks.
Prying
This is the most common cause of tool failure. Even when there is no
surface damage, the stress from prying can easily break a working tool.
This kind of failure generally results from any type of side pressure such
as an incorrect breaking angle or from using the tool to reposition material.
The tool should not be used as a pivot point when repositioning the carrier.
The power generated by the carrier will far exceed the strength of the tool.
FATIGUE FAILURE
52
Similar failures can also occur when the steel is used with extreme down pressure, and the steel repeatedly
slips off the work at an angle, or the material, itself moves from under the working tool.
As these drawings show, fatigue failures take many forms, but they all exhibit similar features. Generally, the
broken surface is brittle and has a "lip" like that in the bending failure, even though, in some cases, the lip
has been broken.
· Corrosion
Tools should be greased and stored out of the weather. Corrosion tends to accelerate the fatigue fractures of
the tool.
Mushrooming
Driving the tool into a hard material for a long period of time generates an
intense heat, indicated by a blue tone just above the point. This will soften
the steel and cause the point to fold over or mushroom the end of the tool.
Avoid hammering in one location for too long. If material does not break
MUSHROOMING after a short period (approximately 30 seconds), reposition the tool.
If the overheated steel is suddenly cooled by being dipped in standing

water, for example, the metal will harden and become brittle. These are
some examples of failure caused by temper changes occurring on the job.
53
TOOL FAILURE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY
· Internal Material Flaw
This failure occurs when a foreign material is rolled into the steel during
the manufacturing process, causing an imperfection in the grain. The
result is an inherent weakness in the tool shank and eventual breakage.
INTERNAL MATERIAL FLAW
The fatigue failure is started by the defects within the working tool. The
broken surface exhibits a shell pattern around the starting point of failure,
like that in the fatigue failure. The other parts of the broken surface are
brittle.
INTERNAL MATERIAL FLAW
This is the only kind of working tool failure that is always covered under warranty.
54
CONCLUSION
As a rule, working tool failures can be diagnosed by looking at the break itself, and at the place on the steel
where the break occurred. Discoloration, like “rainbow” effects or blue bands, is the result of extreme heat.
Look for surface cracks, galling, or gouge marks. Breaks that start as surface damage have a “sea shell”
pattern, with the damaged spot at the center. A large “sea shell” indicates a slow growing break; a small one
indicates one compounded by side stress.
Stress failures start small, and spread into the center of the steel. In a stress failure, the coarser the grain,
the greater the stress was, and the more rapid was the failure.
· Failures in this area are usually the result of blank firing, worn bushing(s), worn retainer
pin(s) or the lack of lubrication.
· Failures in this area are usually the result of worn retainer pin(s) or blank firing.
· Failures in this area are usually the result of prying, metal-to-metal contact or corrosion.
Prying failures often exhibit a shell-like formation near the edge of the steel diameter
where the break began, and a “tail” opposite that where the remaining steel bent and
tore.
· Failures in this area are usually the result of heat build-up, mushrooming, or improper
contact with the work.

6.4. Failure case by counterfeit chisel
DAMAGE
(1) Front head damage: Blank blow that was caused by the difference in dimension of contact area made
damage to the front head.
(2) Chisel head damage : The hardness of Rhino chisel has been managed accurately so that the chisel
endure enough against the impact force of percussion piston. In case that the counterfeit chisel has
less or excessive hardness, the chisel will be broken. And the fragment of the broken chisel goes up
and stuck between piston and front head, then scratch happen.
Clearance

head and piston
56
(3) Piston damage : In case that the hardness of the chisel has more than piston, the piston will be
broken.
(4) Thrust ring damage : Linear contact between chisel and thrust ring made damage to the thrust ring.
Normally, the angle of the contact area is the same between thrust ring and chisel, so they contact
each other on a full area completely. The fragment of broken thrust ring also can made damage to the
piston.

7. Operation
This chapter describes how to operate the hammer The hammer is powerful machinery and lots of
correctly. To increase the hammer’s breaking damage can be done if you do not know how to
performance and working life, pay attention to this use the hammer safely. Read this chapter before
chapter. operating the hammer.
7.1. Correct operation methods
Applying proper down pressure for better productivity:

Having hard contact with breaking
object in addition to maintaining proper
down force is very important. Always try
to keep down force on breaking point
by lifting tracks, wheels and stabilizers
slightly above the ground. This will
move away looseness on bracket and
boom pivots, and reduces vibrations
due to breakout. The breaker should be
stopped as soon as “break-thru” occurs
or if it is apparent that good solid blows
are not occurring.
Whereas too much down pressure

will cause acceleration of wear and
tear of consumables like dampers. It
also has probability of ramming chisel
into the broken material when “break-
thru” happens.
Not enough down pressure results in

low productivity and wear and tear on
equipment. The vibration of breaker
will be transmitted to the excavator.
59
Advance from the edge:
Move the impact point from the edge to the
interior. Never try to break off a too large block, if the
object has not broken within 15 seconds. The object
should be broken up piece by piece in small blocks.
Large distance steps will not improve working
results. Breaking from edges generally generates
more productivity than breaking from the center.
Operating the hammer longer than 15 seconds may

cause damage to the hammer. One blow should be
limited less than 15 seconds. If breakout does not
occur within this time, the material does not breaker
out for longer strike. Try at different position.
Angle of attack:
The hammer should always be
positioned at right angles to the surface
of the material. If the hammer is
operated at slant angle,
The chisel slide off the material

surface and it cause blank blows that
damage the hammer. And the chisel
will wear more quickly, or broken more
frequently.
Never use as a sledgehammer:

Before starting up, place the chisel point on the ground.
Never attempt to use the hammer as a sledgehammer to

break material, as the result of such action will cause damage
to the hammer and the carrier.
60
Be more caution to use horizontally against rock
This kind of operation will cause abnormal wear of bushes and
chisel. This pattern of operation is not recommended from
manufacturer. For this special application, please consult to
Hawnoo.
Never drive the chisel into the ground:

If the advance is too large and the chisel is not rocked to
release the dust, the chisel will be driven into the material
without breaking the material. This causes the chisel tip to glow
red-hot and lose its hardness. As a result, the chisel wears out
more quickly. Operating in this way is not permitted.
Dust dampens impact power, when the chisel is inserted into

the ground, and reduces the efficiency of the hammer. Tilt the
hammer slightly backward and forward, not more than 5°, while
operating so that the dust can escape. Do not rock the hammer
at angles greater than 5° or the chisel will be broken.
Never use as a lever:

Do not use the chisel as a lever; e.g. crowbar, as this will
cause the chisel to break.
Under any circumstances, operating in this way is not permitted.
Most of bending failure of the chisel may be caused by lever

action in stone that is inside hard or frozen ground. Be careful
and stop operating if you feel sudden resistance under the
chisel.
61
Never use for transport purposes:
The hydraulic hammer is not designed to lift or transport loads.
Never use the chisel as a lifting point.
This is dangerous and could damage the hammer or the chisel.
Never use the hydraulic hammer under water:

The hydraulic hammer, as a standard assembly, must never be
used in or under water without prior conversion. If you use under
water, water fills the impact chamber between the piston and the
chisel, a strong hydraulic pressure wave is generated and will
damage the seals in the hammer. And, in addition, corrosion,
lack of lubrication or penetration of water could result in further
damage to components of the hammer and the carrier.
Never use the chisel or hydraulic hammer

to move rocks or other objects.
The hydraulic hammer is not
designed for this usage.
Do not use the hammer bracket
or chisel to roll, push the object
or reposition the carrier. This
may cause damage to the
hammer and the carrier.
Consult Rhino dealer for the operating the hammer in special applications such as:
operation under water, operation in very high or low temperature, operation in chemical factory, etc.
62
7.2. Blank Blow (Blank firing)
Aware that the chisel is always dropping down so the piston can strike the chisel head with enough
distance between two parts. Blank-blow does happen when the chisel is not in contact with breaking object
as the piston is not able to strike the chisel solidly or not strike the tool bit at all.
Blank blow accelerates wear and tear on breaker. Excessive blank blow may be considered abuse of
machine and may result in voiding warranties. When blank blow happens, the striking energy is absorbed
by chisel pins and adjacent breaker components. Blank-blow as a result of operator error occurs when the
chisel is not in contact with the work surface to be broken and is allowed to drop down in the lower of the
piston's stroke and the energy of the piston will be absorbed by breaker components and excavator boom
components.
Blank-blow of this type can be experienced when the operator fails to stop operation of the breaker when
the material fractures or material break-through occurs, or during re-positioning of the breaker.
Rhino breaker equipped with “ANTI-BALNK BLOW” system from RHB320 to RHB370 for reducing the
failure rate of front head area. Note that “ANTI-BALNK BLOW” does not completely eliminate the blank
blow. For more details, contact Everdigm.
While blank-blow cannot always be avoided, it can be kept to a minimum by avoiding the above conditions
as much as possible.

7.3. Storage
WARNING!
The following instructions are those that should ALWAYS be observed in storage of
construction equipment.
7.3.1 Short term storage (within 6 month)
1) General storage conditions

Complete hammer should be stored in dry and well-ventilated room. If only open-air storage is possible, the
hammers must be safely covered with plastic sheeting or tarpaulins to protect them against the weather, dust,
humidity etc.
2) Short-term storage conditions

The hammers which will not remain in storage for longer than two weeks, are available to be stored in lying
position in dry and well-ventilated room.

contact directly (metal to metal contact), it can cause serious damage not only piston
but also cylinder.
3) Long-term storage conditions
If storage looks likely to exceed two weeks, it should be proceeded as followings.
(1) The chisel must be removed.
(2) The gas in the back head should be discharged completely.
(3) The breaker should be positioned vertical so the piston is at its upper stroke to protect exposed
piston area. This can be achieved by stacking solid bar into the front end. Refer to below drawing.
(4) The lower end of the piston, chisel and bushes must be well protected with grease or anti-rust fluid.
(5) All the hydraulic connections must be sealed with clean plugs to prevent oil leakage and
contamination.
(6) The hammer must be stored in a dry location.
(7) If above is not practiced due to certain reason, operate the hammer for at least 5 minutes per a
week regularly. The lower parts of piston will be coated by oil, and it could protect the damage by
rust.

4) Washing and cleaning the hydraulic hammer
When the hydraulic hammer is working, dirt, mud or rock powder can attach itself to the hammer.
Always wash the outside of the hydraulic hammer by a pressure washer before sending it to the workshop,
otherwise dirt can be the cause of difficulties in the disassembly and reassembly of the hammer.
7.3.2 Long term storage inspection (Before delivery of hammer)
You have to do an inspection for hydraulic hammer which has been stored more than one (1) year. If
hydraulic hammer has stored for a long time without operating, the inner parts such as seals, piston and
cylinder have the possiblility of getting damaged. So, you have to inspect it beforedelivry as bellow, and then
you also have to inform us the status of the inner parts including seals. If you find any defect on the inner
parts, please contact us for proper repair. If you deliver the machine which has been stored for more than
one year without any notice to Rhino, the machine can be excluded from warranty.
1. Dismantling
- Disassemble the Breaker for inspection.
2. Inspection
- Corrosion can be the reason of serious damage. Please check completely all of major components
such as percussion piston, cylinder and valve.
- Please check all of the seals whether those are damaged or deformed.
- Please check any corrosion on the outside of breaker or bracket.
3. Repair
- Slight corrosion can be removed by using emery cloth with 800 grain.
- Replace all seals without relation of how much those are damaged.
- Repaint any corrosion damage on the outside of the breaker or the bracket.
If the dealer comply with the above procedure before delivery, the warranty period will be extended and the
hammer can be guaranteed for one year normally.

8.4.1. Checking and charging the gas in the back-head

If the impact power of the hydraulic hammer starts to drop, the gas pressure in the back-head should be
checked.
The back-head need not to be refilled until the gas pressure has decreased to below the specified value. In
general, checking the back-head gas pressure recommended at least every 50 hours or weekly. And, Refill
the gas if necessary.
Note:
When checking or charging the gas pressure, always lay the hydraulic hammer flat without any contact force
applying to the chisel.
The gas pressures should be checked with the hammer at the ambient temperature before operating or at
the gas temperature of 60°C to 70°C (140 to 158°F) after operating.

Technical data about Accumulator:
< Section view and development figure of accumulator. >
1) Function of accumulator.
The accumulator was adopted for middle and high class of RHINO hydraulic hammers.
Accumulator has the function that absorbs the pressure shock and made up the
pressure, which makes the operating pressure stable. It is helpful to hydraulic
components including hydraulic pump. The high fluctuation of the operating pressure
can be cause of the failure of the hydraulic components. Especially hydraulic pump is so
sensitive to the fluctuation of the pressure.
2) The damages which can be caused by accumulator failure.

① Hose damage
‘- The hydraulic fluctuation can cause hose damage by excessive vibration.
② Low or irregular impact rate

‘- Excessive hydraulic fluctuation can cause low and irregular blow.
③ Hydraulic component damage

‘- High fluctuation is very harmful to hydraulic components and makes damage to them.
3) Correct torque for accumulator charging valve.

After recharging N2 gas (60bar) on accumulator, the gas charging valve should be
tightened with 6 kg• m by torque wrench. If the N2 gas is leaking, check the
diaphragm and accumulator charging valve. Please replace parts if necessary.

9.5. Check point in assembly & disassembly
Through bolts tightening
Periodic checkup of torque of through bolt is required to guarantee the lifecycle of a breaker. The through
bolts can be checked visually through the inspection holes in the top of the bracket. If the through bolts get
loose or damaged during operation, stop hammer work. And, repairs must be done immediately in the
following manner:
1. Place the hammer on flat and firm ground. Separate the power-cell of the hammer from the bracket.
2. Discharge the nitrogen gas from the back-head completely.
3. Remove all the through bolts, and inspect for the presence of any cracks at the threads and the shank
of the bolts.
4. Always apply thread paste, made of molybdenum disulphide (MoS2), to the threads of the through
bolts before installing.
5. At first, tighten the entire bolts to the half of the specified torque in diagonal pattern.
6. Tighten the bolts to the specified torque in diagonal pattern.
7. Repeat 1~2 times in the same way.
NOTICE!
The through bolts for RHB301 ~ RHB313 models are directly assembled directly into the female threads in
the front-head. Whereas through bolts for RHB317 ~ RHB370 models use the separate nuts (the front-
head nuts) at the front-head.
98
Through bolts tightening (Angular Method)
Tightening torque for through bolt is important to prevent through bolt loosing and damage. Sometimes, it is
hard to achieve required tightening torque in a job site or workshop where the tools are not fully equipped.
Thus, we would like to give an instruction for tightening through bolt as followings.
Under the same condition, rotating angle of nut is the same to reach the required tightening
torque on through bolts.
* Please note that when tightening the front head nut,

apply the torque as described in the “table 1” in
sequence as shown left drawing.
① Tighten back head nuts to ‘Initial Tightening Torque’

which describes in the “table 1” with torque wrench.
② Tighten the back head nuts until they can reach the
required ‘First Rotation Angle’ with ring wrench and
steel hammer.
③ If the ‘First Rotating Angle’ process is done, then
tighten the back head nuts again until they can reach
the required ‘Second Rotation Angle’ in sequence.
99
④ After finishing ‘Second rotation angle process, please
check the gab between back head washers and back
head. If there is no gab between them, assemble
bracket. Whereas there is a gab between them, loose
all front head nuts, and repeat all above process (①
~ ④) until the gab is cleared.

Piston restoration and deformation limit
Slight rust or scratches can be removed by emery cloth

or sand paper (#800 ~ 1,000 grain). Rub the damaged
area gently until it has finest surface.
NOTICE!
Do not rub piston to the direction of the length.
Bottom side of piston (impact face) could be deformed because of accumulated wear for a long time.
If the Impact face were noticeably deformed or worn out, please measure the deformation as
indicated above, and change the piston if required.
▪ Deformation Limits of Impact Face

- RHB301 ~ RHB304 : 0.7 mm
- RHB305 ~ RHB313 : 1.0 mm
- RHB317 ~ RHB370 : 2.0 mm
NOTICE!
Using counterfeit chisel can accelerate the wear and deformation of piston.
102
Lock Pin
NOTICE!
This is inserted at cylinder and front head side
respectively. The function is to dampen lateral
vibration of power cell. If you find this pin is broken
or damaged, replace it immediately.
O-Ring on front head
O-ring between cylinder and front head prevents

external leakage of grease, which is transferred
from cylinder to front head. Do not misplace o-ring
in the process of maintenance.
Cylinder bush insertion
Cylinder bush is inserted between piston and cylinder. When you place cylinder bush, you will notice
that the clearance between 3 parts is very small. You can tap horizontally to insert it between slots. Do
not let the cylinder bush protrude when you assemble back head. O-ring may get damaged. Below
tools are being used at factory to facilitate this process. You may fabricate this tool for your
convenience. Contact to Rhino for details.

Replacement of Helicoil is necessary when Helicoil is damaged. This part is used on upper face where
accumulator is attached.
1. Prepare Helicoil and insert tool.
2. Remove damaged Helicoil and insert Helicoil with

tool.
3. Break off tang with long nose pliers.
IMPORTANT !
Be sure to remove all removed tang from cylinder.
The missing tang can score the piston.
105
Replacement of PU sleeve
This part is inserted at stop pinhole on front head to hold pins. Since this part is exposed to vibration and
heat, wear can happen. Check periodically and replace when you notice failure. Otherwise the stop pins
will loose
1. Remove old PU sleeves and hold PU sleeve with

wrench as pictured to facilitate the process.
2. Insert PU sleeve on pinhole and check if it is

correctly seated with finger.
Wear plates and dampers
Wear plates and damper will be attached at inside of

main bracket. Be sure to place every wear plate and
damper at its place after overhaul. Apply thin grease
on it to facilitate the process.
DANGER !
Never use your hands to check or adjust the
position of the wear plates and damper during
installation.
106
Side bolt assembly
1. Place the supporter in box bracket. Holes should

be aligned.
2. Assemble and tighten the side bolts by hand.
3. Tighten the side bolts by torque wrench as

indicated left drawing. Required torque for
tightening is 25 ±5 kgf·m. Then check the side bolt
if it is assembled completely.
4. Assemble the washers and nuts as indicated above

drawing. Apply the torque twice as indicated below
‘- 1st tightening torque : 60 ± 5 kgf·m.

‘- 2nd tightening torque : 100 ± 10 kgf·m
107
Upper damper assembly
The upper & lower dampers are made by polyurethane (PU). They support powercell inside of box bracket
against excessive vibration.
Long time operation or excessive heat can cause plastic deformation, wear or damage. If they loose their
physical properties, they could not support powercell properly.
Thus, deformed or worn out dampers should be exchanged or shims should be inserted or added properly
for supporting powercell.
Please check the status of the lower and upper dampers. If dampers are fine, please put ‘shims’ for
adjusting the height (marked “C”). The shims should be located between back head and upper damper. If
mounting adapter is assembled, powercell would be pressed down.
* Required height of damper from box bracket

- RHB305 ~ RHB309 : 4~5 mm
- RHB313 ~ RHB325 : 5~6 mm
- RHB330 ~ RHB350 : 6~7 mm
Grease hose assembly
Grease hose should be installed as shown in the left

drawing. It should not be interrupted with other parts,
and twisting angle or grease hose position could be
different according to model.
108
9.6. Workshop facilities and required tools for servicing
General requirements
Generally the workshop should be a covered hall(isolated from dust, water and cold climate) with a
concrete floor. The minimum space requirement is 40m2 The workshop must be equipped with lifting
equipment with a lifting capacity of 3000 kg(It varies by the model. 3000kg is based on RHB330 model).The
requirement for lifting height is ca. 7m minus pit depth.
In order to make servicing easy, a 900mm x 900mm x 900mm deep pit must be made in the floor for the
big hammer assembly stand (you can also use fixed stand on the floor, but then you need a platform to stand
on when servicing big hammers)
You need washing devices for cleaning the hydraulic parts. Pressurized air is also required. A washing
stand with high pressure water and steam is recommended outside. A separate welding shop for bracket
repairs should be isolated from the general workshop.
A strong working table 1m x 2m with rubber coating and another table with a vice are required for parts
assemblies.
