• Since there is a danger of landslide and falling rocks, avoid breaker operation under a cliff.
• When you operate the breaker under a cliff, place the undercarriage at a right angle against the cliff wall
and make sure that the travel motor is placed at the rear of the track to escape quickly at any time.
Operation on unstable ground is dangerous.

When operating the hydraulic breaker on potentially unstable ground, vibrations and impacts from the
operation can cause it to tip over unexpectedly.
• Maintain a level working site before you start breaking.
Keep away from cliffs and the edge of a road.

• Keep as far away as possible from cliffs and edge of a road because the ground may be soft.
• Even if the cliff or edge of the road seems firm, the ground may collapse due to the machine weight.
• On a work site where the machine can turn over or fall off, place a guide.
1 - 14
Safety precautions
Beware of softened ground after earthquakes or explosion.

• The ground becomes softened after an earthquake or an explosion. Be careful of landslides, loose
edges of the road and falling rocks. Make sure there are no unexploded explosives in the working area.
Beware of collisions.
• Be careful of the surroundings and overhead when operating the machine at an indoor work site or in a
narrow place.
Stop operation when something is wrong with the breaker.

• If a part breaks, a strange noise or other problems happen during operation, stop operating the breaker
immediately. Operating the breaker without repairing it can cause a serious machine breakdown and
accidents. If something is wrong with the machine, check the cause of the problem immediately and
perform maintenance to prevent a breakdown.
1 - 15
Safety precautions
Stop the engine immediately when oil leaks.

• If hydraulic oil leaks from the breaker or a hose during operation, stop the operation and the engine
immediately. Check and repair the part causing the oil leakage.
Pull down poles, beams and walls carefully.

When you break down buildings by using the breaker, poles, beams and walls may fall down in an
unexpected direction and may cause serious injury or death.
• The buildings being demolished must not collapse in a dangerous direction. Be very careful of falling
material.
1 - 16
Safety precautions
Prevent accidents during operation.

• No one (including a guide) must enter the area where the hydraulic breaker will operate and the debris
of demolition will be scattered.
• Place proper signboards in the area where the hydraulic breaker will operate and the debris of
demolition will be scattered.
• Before starting operation, make sure that there are no persons or obstacles in the machine’s operating
range.
• The watchman, guide and operator must determine understandable signals such as a hand signal for an
emergency.
• If a person enters the machine’s operating range, immediately stop the operation.
• For the following work, a supervisor must be selected:
Demolishing or breaking a concrete construction (whose height is 5 meters or more).
Be careful when swinging aside

• In general, horizontal stability of a hydraulic excavator is not as good as the vertical stability. The
hydraulic excavator might tip over when swinging. As the hydraulic excavator with a hydraulic breaker
installed has a heavier load on the front, never swing abruptly.
• Especially when on a slope, swing slowly and carefully.
1 - 17
Safety precautions
Postpone operation if visibility is poor.

• If visibility is not good enough to work, postpone the operation until visibility becomes better.
• When expecting a strong wind, heavy rain or snow and other rough weather which may prevent safe
operation, contact your supervisor to ask for suspension of the operation.
Flat working sites and access roads.

• If working sites or access roads are rough, instability and vibration of the machine can cause accidents
or property damage. Maintain graded working sites and access roads and operate the hydraulic
excavator on even, firm ground only. Do not operate the excavator on raised piles or other unstable
ground.
• Be aware of the safe operation radius and limited mass for your particular machine and operate the
machine within the safe range of the operating radius.
Connecting/disconnecting the batteries.

• When disconnecting the battery cables of the hydraulic excavator, be sure to disconnect the negative
side first. When connecting battery cables, connect the positive side first.

Safety precautions
Exercise care when climbing up/down a slope.

• When climbing up or down a slope, lower the engine speed, keep the angle between the boom and arm
at 90 to 110°, raise the hydraulic breaker 20 to 30 cm above ground and run the machine facing the
slope in a straight direction.
• When the hydraulic excavator slips on a slope or becomes unstable, lower the hydraulic breaker onto
the ground and stop travelling.
20-30cm
Beware of hot areas on the machine.

Right after stopping the engine, the machine is still very hot and contacting the machine can cause serious
injury. The hydraulic breaker, rod, hydraulic excavator and hydraulic oil, in particular, become very hot.
• Don't start inspections or maintenance until the temperature of such parts cools down.
Beware of asbestos dust.

Don’t breathe in dust which may contain asbestos. Breathing in dust containing asbestos can cause
cancer. It is essential to check whether the material to be broken contains asbestos and if the presence of
asbestos is detected, stop work immediately and inform the appropriate authorities. Removal of asbestos
can only be done by authorized companies using special equipment.

Safety precautions
Be careful of internal pressure.

Internal pressure is applied constantly to the hydraulic system. When connecting/disconnecting the oil
hoses, stop the engine, release the residual pressure and close the stop valves.
Refer to the hydraulic excavator operation manual for "Releasing residual pressure."
Hydraulic oil is hot during and right after operation. Allow the oil temperature to lower sufficiently before
touching the hose for removal.
Prevent a fall without fail.

• If inspecting or repairing while the breaker is above the ground, be careful not to drop the breaker
suddenly. Use a safety support or safety block as a receiving stand. If the breaker cannot be held firmly,
do not do an inspection or repair under the breaker.
Handle nitrogen gas carefully.

• The accumulator has been filled with high pressure gas. When removing the accumulator without
relieving the gas from it, the accumulator cover and other parts can blow off and cause serious injuries.
Before removing the accumulator, make sure to relieve the gas from the accumulator.
• Using a different gas instead of nitrogen gas can cause an explosion. Be sure to use nitrogen gas only
when charging the accumulator and the back head.
• When relieving gas from the back head, blowing gas and dust from the back head can hurt the eyes.
Wear safety glasses and don't be too close to the valve.

Safety precautions
Precautions for welding for repair.

During welding for repair, breakage of electrical equipment and welding heat may cause the paint to
generate gas, resulting in fire. Ask a qualified welder to do the welding in a well-equipped place.
Precautions for welding

• Remove the battery terminal of the hydraulic excavator from outside to prevent electronic controllers
from being damaged or malfunctioning.
• Remove the battery to prevent an explosion when the welding area is close to the battery.
• Remove paint from the welding area (for prevention of gas generation).
• Remove electronic parts from the hydraulic excavator (to prevent malfunction).
• Connect the grounding cable at a location within 1 m from the welding area.
(Connect the grounding cable so that seals or bearings will not enter the space between the welding
area and the grounding area.)
• Be sure to wear protective gear for welding.
• When heating an area near the hydraulic equipment, fuel tank, or oil piping, inflammable steam or mist
may be generated, causing a risk of ignition. Exercise care.
• Pressurized oil piping or oil hoses, when heated directly, may break suddenly. Cover them for prevention
of fire.
• Ventilate the welding space.
• Put inflammables away and prepare firefighting equipment before welding.

FUNCTION OF EACH PART
Bolt
4 bolts for fixing the cylinder and back head of the breaker body.
Cylinder
Hydraulic circuit for reciprocating the piston and others are built in. The cylinder is the heart of the breaker
body. To support the rod, the front holder and front bush are incorporated.
Accumulator
High-pressure nitrogen gas (N2 gas) is charged inside. The accumulator compensates for pressure in the
hydraulic circuit and prevents pulsation. (See "CHARGING THE ACCUMULATOR WITH N2 GAS AND
INSPECTION OF THE CHARGE PRESSURE" on P.3-23.)
Piston
Kinetic energy of the piston is converted into impact energy when the piston strikes the rod and consequently
rock is broken.
2-2
Function of each part
Rod
A chisel for breaking rock. Flat point, wedge point, and moil point rods can be used in accordance with the
application.
(See "Types of rods and major applications" on P.2-12.)
Control valve
• The mark S on the valve housing indicates the stroke adjuster and V indicates the valve adjuster.
2-3
Stroke adjuster (with idle blow prevention mechanism)

This equipment permits control of the number of blows by changing the piston stroke.
• The stroke is set to the long stroke position (fully tightened) before shipment from the factory.
• The number of the blows can be increased to 1.5 times by loosening the adjuster by 6 turns for secondary
breaking, etc.
• Standard equipment has a stroke valve that does not permit idle blows.
This system eliminates the idle blows of the piston which occur the moment an object is shattered.
• A stroke valve for idle blows is available as an option.
(Refer to "Changing the stroke valve" on P.3-29.)
Idle blow type stroke valve
Stroke valve for anti idle blow
2-4
Valve adjuster
The valve adjuster controls the quantity of breaker consumption oil.
• Adjustment is necessary only when the breaker is mounted on a hydraulic excavator whose specifications
for the oil quantity and pressure are less than the standard specifications. Do not change the valve adjuster
settings unnecessarily. (See ADJUSTMENT OF THE VALVE ADJUSTER on p.3-28.)
* The marking of the completely closed state is punched in alignment with the mark on the valve housing
when the valve adjuster is tightened completely. (0-point adjusting mark)
When the valve adjuster is opened counter clockwise, the number of blows and oil consumption increase.
When the valve adjuster is closed, the number of blows and oil consumption decrease.
2-5
Needle valve
When the breaker is mounted on an excavator whose maximum discharge oil flow is beyond the specified
value, this valve is used to adjust the oil flow. When the discharge oil flow is within the oil consumption of the
breaker, it is not necessary to perform any adjustment with this valve.
When shipped from the factory, this valve is fully closed.
How to adjust
Adjust the bypass flow amount so that the maximum discharge oil flow of the excavator may be less than the
oil consumption of the breaker.
Maximum discharge oil amount of excavator (L/min) - Bypass flow amount (L/min) < Oil consumption of
breaker (L/min)
Example: When the Fxj275 breaker is mounted on an excavator whose maximum discharge oil flow is
250L/min, adjust the bypass flow amount to the range of 2 to 3 turns in the graph below.
Example: Specified value of the Fxj275 breaker

Hydraulic oil pressure: 16 - 18MPa
Oil consumption: 145 - 220L/min
Maximum discharge oil flow of excavator 250L/min - Bypass flow amount 40L/min < Oil consumption of
breaker 210L/min
2-6
Grease supply port
CAUTION
Lubricate the cylinder every two hours.
To grease the unit, put the rod on the ground and push it against the piston.
• Grease the rod and front bush through the grease nipple on the box connected to the cylinder unit’s port
block. To grease the units, put the rod on the ground and push it against the piston.
Refer to “Greasing intervals” (P.3-6).
Grease supply port
If greasing is done incorrectly as shown in the above figure with “×”, the following problems will occur.
• The contaminated grease will enter the piston striking chamber side to go into the hydraulic breaker body.
• Because grease is not circulated in the whole front unit, the parts built in the front unit will be worn early and
the front bush, front holder and others will be scratched and damaged causing early failure.
NOTICE
If the front bush or front holder is worn, the clearance these and the rod is larger. This allows the
piston to strike the rod at an angle and the rod is damaged, the piston is scratched and oil
leakage is increased. You must grease the front bush and front holder properly.
2-7
Air supply port

Air cap
Connector with filter
An air check valve is installed inside the breaker to prevent an air pump phenomenon in the piston chamber.
• The connector with a filter in the air supply port prevents suction of dust.
• Clean the filter periodically.
Explanation of operation
• When the piston moves up, a negative pressure is generated in the piston chamber, and air enters into the
piston chamber through the air check valve.
Check valve (Flow)
• When the piston moves down (impacting process), the pressure inside the piston chamber increases and
the air check valve operates to prevent the air from flowing back to the air supply port. The air check valve
stops the back flow and prevents entry of dust by releasing the air to the rod side.
Check valve (Stop)
NOTICE
Do not operate the breaker with the air cap removed.
2-8
Charging valve (N2 gas)
This valve is used for filling the back head with nitrogen gas, as well as for checking the gas pressure.
The back head is filled with nitrogen gas. Energy is accumulated when the piston moves backward.
• If the gas pressure is decreased, the working efficiency of breaker is decreased and hydraulic pulsation is
generated. Ask the FRD dealer to inspect the gas pressure.
(Refer to “CHARGING THE BACK HEAD WITH N2 GAS AND INSPECTION OF THE CHARGE
PRESSURE” on P.3-19.)

• Do not operate the machine right after starting the engine. Idle the machine for warm-up and warm the
hydraulic oil to 40°C or higher especially in winter or for operation in a cold place.
• When operating the breaker, idle the engine for some time and operate the breaker with a light load.
Immediate acceleration from the beginning will break the oil film between piston and cylinder, causing
seizure.
• If you operate a machine which is not warmed sufficiently, the hydraulic oil sometimes leaks a little from the
front side of the piston. Warm the machine and raise the hydraulic oil temperature to 40°C or higher.
Cleaning the area around the driver's seat

• Always keep the area around the driver’s seat clean to avoid improper operation or malfunction.
• Put spare parts and tools in a tool box.
Adjustment around the driver's seat

• Be sure to lower the windshield and protection net of the vehicle to protect you from scattered stones and
concrete pieces.
• Adjust the seat position so that you can easily operate various operation levers or pedals with your back on
the seat back.
Security
• Before starting operation, check the topographical and geological conditions of the work site and pay
sufficient attention to cracks in the ground and the collapse of buildings.
• For the safety of the pedestrians and vehicles passing near the working machine, provide guards, arrange
fences and take safety measures as much as possible.

Operation procedures (breaking)
Precautions for travelling/stopping

Precautions for travelling
• To secure the forward field of vision and ensure travelling safety, raise the breaker 30‒40cm from the
ground and select a flat ground for travelling.
• When travelling in water, keep the allowable travelling depth of the excavator and exercise sufficient care so
that the breaker will not dip in the water.
Precautions when travelling up-/down-hills

• Do not travel exceeding the gradeability and safety angle of the machine.
• When travelling up or down a hill, lower the engine speed in advance and keep the angle between the boom
and the arm at 90°‒110°. Keep the breaker 30‒40cm above the ground and travel the machine facing the
slope at all times.
Precautions for stopping

• When stopping the machine select firm ground and place the rod end on the ground with the breaker
standing upright.
• When leaving the operator's seat, lock the boom and arm with the safety lock and stop the engine.
Breaker operation
The breaker operation procedure for general concrete breaking is shown below.
1. Move the excavator to the front of the concrete to be broken.
CAUTION
Move the excavator to a stable, strong roadbed as much as possible.
2. Operate the boom, arm and bucket cylinder of the excavator, set the breaker perpendicularly to the
concrete surface to break and then push and thrust the breaker against the concrete.
CAUTION
Excessive thrust will cause loss of balance of the excavator when the concrete is broken.
When excessive thrust is applied and the impacting operation is conducted with the front of the excavator
lifted by 20cm or more, the machine will fall forward right after rock is broken and the breaker or the end of the
SV-box will crash against rock, leading to the breakage of the breaker or the SV-box, as well as damage to the
excavator itself.
3. Step on the breaker pedal to operate the breaker.
CAUTION
When thrust drops during impacting, a shock will be given to the breaker, SV-box, arm or
boom of the excavator to cause problems. Operate the boom to increase thrust.
4. After breaking the concrete, return the pedal to the original position immediately to prevent no-load striking
of the breaker.
Repeat the above operation for breaking.
2 - 19
Optimal thrust
To make good use of the breaker’s power, thrust must be given to the breaker while the crawler front is lifted
by 10 ‒ 20cm. When the thrust is insufficient, impact will be applied to the breaker, SV-box and the hydraulic
excavator arm, leading to their failure.
When excessive thrust is applied and striking operation is conducted with the front of the excavator lifted by
20cm or more, the machine will suddenly fall forward right after the rock is broken and the breaker or the end
of the SV-box will crash against the rock, leading to breakage of the breaker or the SV-box, as well as damage
to the excavator itself.
When the machine breaks a rock while the front of the excavator is lifted by 20cm or more, the vibration
during breaking will be transmitted also to the tracks, so avoid such operation for protection of the tracks.
Exercise care so that thrust will be applied at all times during the hammering operation. Avoid idle blows.
2 - 20
Direction of thrust
The direction of thrust should coincide with the direction of the rod. Let the rod strike a rock as perpendicularly
as possible. When it strikes a rock at an angle, the rod and front bush will be galled or the rod will be broken.
Select a stable firm ground for the breaking work and let the rod strike a rock in a firm and stable manner.
Precautions for operation
WARNING
Wrong lever operation may cause a serious accident, resulting in injury or death. Operate
the levers correctly.
Confirmation of the operation levers, pedals and switches

Operation of the operation levers, pedals, and switches of the hydraulic excavator may be different according
to the maker and model. Operate them correctly after understanding the operation method.
Confirmation of the crawler travelling direction

Confirm the direction of the crawler travelling and the operator's seat before travelling the machine.
Backward
Forward Travelling motor
2 - 21
Pay attention to the following during operation.

Stop the operation when the hoses are vibrating abnormally.
Visually check the hoses on the high-pressure and low-pressure sides of the breaker for abnormal vibration.
If they are vibrating abnormally, ask your FRD dealer for an inspection.
Stop operation right after breaking. (Avoid idle blows as much as

possible.)
After breaking the rock, stop striking immediately. Continuous idle blows will exercise adverse effects on the
excavator as well. When appropriate thrust is not applied to the breaker or the rod is twisted during striking,
idle blows will result which will cause breakage or damage. (Idle blows will produce a metallic sound unlike
ordinary blows.)
Do not move rock.

Rolling or pushing down a rock with the rod end or SV-box side by using the hydraulic power of the boom or
arm of the excavator as shown in the figure will result in breakage of the breaker mounting bolts or bracket,
breakage and galling of the rod, and damage to the arm and boom. Do not perform this operation.
WARNING
Do not travel the machine with the breaker pushing a rock.
2 - 22
Do not wrench open rock.

Do not put the rod into a crack in the rock and move the rod to and fro to break the rock as shown in the figure,
otherwise the rod will be broken or the SV-box and the top bracket will be damaged.
Do not hammer continuously for more than 30 seconds.

If a rock cannot be broken after hammering the same position for 30 seconds, change the hammering position.
Continued hammering of the same place for a long time will cause abnormal wear of the rod.
Break a large rock from the edges.

Hammer rifts or edges, which are easy to break, for efficient breaking of a large, hard rock.
NOTICE
Change the rod striking positions when the rock cannot be broken within 30 seconds.
Strike a rock from the edge sequentially.
2 - 23
NOTICE
The distance that enables rock to be broken by hammering within 30 seconds is an effective
breaking distance. Breaking on a small scale at short distances prevents secondary
breaking of large rocks and transmits the breaking power generated by the breaker to the
rock bed efficiently. The life cycle of the wear parts will also be improved.
Effective breaking distance Break a rock from the edge in order.
Hard rock : 30 ‒ 40cm

Soft rock : 50 ‒ 60cm
The standard for the breaking distance in 30 seconds is 30 - 40cm for hard rock and 50 -
60cm for soft rock. Break a rock from the edge in the order of 1 → 2 → 3. The breaking power
is transmitted to the free face along an arc. If the breaking distance is too long, the surface
area to the free face is increased and the breaker cannot break the rock.
Select an appropriate engine speed (rpm) for breaking with the breaker.
Select the specified engine speed or set to "breaker mode" if the excavator has operation modes for breaking.
The breaking power will not change even if the engine speed is increased excessively. Increased engine
speed will cause the oil temperature to rise, leading to overheating.
2 - 24
Do not break rock in water or mud.

Do not put any portion other than the rod in water or mud, otherwise, water or mud will enter the hydraulic oil,
leading to early failure of the breaker or hydraulic excavator.
Do not allow the breaker to drop to break rock.

Do not drop the breaker onto the rock, otherwise excessive force will be applied to the breaker or excavator,
causing damage to the breaker and various parts of the excavator.
Do not do a breaking operation at the stroke end of the hydraulic

excavator cylinder.
Breaking operation at the stroke end (when the cylinder is extended or retracted to a maximum extent) of
respective hydraulic cylinders of the excavator will lead to damage of the cylinders and other parts of the
excavator.
2 - 25
Visually check that there is play in the movement of the rod

Visually check that there is play in the movement of the rod when the breaker is raised. If there is no play, ask
your Furukawa Rock Drill dealer for inspection and repair.
Play of the rod
Fxj175…About 50mm Fxj275…About 59mm Fxj375…About 62mm Fxj475…About 75mm
• Check the play of the rod to see if the rod is normal.
When the operation is suspended or completed

When the operation is suspended or completed, move the excavator to flat ground, remove mud from the
breaker and lower the breaker perpendicularly to the ground.
CAUTION
The rod is hot right after breaking, so do not touch it.
• Check for oil leakage from the piping and damage to the rod.
• Check if the hydraulic oil is cloudy or not after using the breaker in a river, etc. To prevent rusting inside the
breaker, clean and grease inside of the front unit.
2 - 26
LONG-TERM STORAGE
CAUTION
Negligence of the following operation will cause rust inside the breaker, leading to failure.
When the breaker will not be used for a long time (more than three weeks), clean the outside of the breaker
and carry out the following operations:
• Check the appearance of each part for defects.
• Remove the rod and apply rust preventive oil to the inside of the front unit.
• Push in the charging valve with a slotted screwdriver. Remove the nitrogen gas completely from the back
head and push the piston into the cylinder so that rust cannot be generated on the end of the piston.
• Store the breaker on thick supporting boards in a well-ventilated room. When it is unavoidable to store the
breaker outdoors, place it on flat ground with sufficient ventilation and drainage and cover the breaker with a
tarpaulin.
When using the breaker after long-term storage

When using the breaker after long-term storage, ask your FRD dealer for an inspection.
The oil film between the piston and cylinder may be broken naturally. Operation without an oil film will cause
seizure.
CAUTION
When the breaker is operated suddenly under high pressure, the oil film will be broken,
causing seizure of the piston and cylinder.
• Before starting the breaker, carry out a break-in for 5 ‒ 10 minutes without nitrogen gas in the back head.
(Working hydraulic pressure: 2 ‒ 3MPa)
• Check that the number of blows is regular during break-in.
• Check there is no oil leakage from any part of the breaker during the break-in.
• Check the respective piping lines for damage or oil leakage.
• Charge the back head with nitrogen gas to the specified pressure after checking everything is OK during the
break-in, and then start the operation.

HYDRAULIC OIL
Selection of hydraulic oil and grease
• In order to exhibit the hydraulic breaker performance to the maximum extent and maintain high efficiency,
selection of the hydraulic oil is very important. In general, hydraulic oil specified by the excavator maker is
recommended.
Furukawa recommends the hydraulic oil shown in the table below. However, if you are in one of the
following cases, consult your dealer;
a. When the machine is used in extremely cold/hot weather.
b. When the machine is operated in a place where our recommended hydraulic oil is unavailable.
c. When the properties of the hydraulic oil specified by the excavator maker are substantially
different from the properties of the hydraulic oil recommended by our company.
d. When biodegrading hydraulic oil is used.
e. When fire-resistant hydraulic oil is used.
• Furukawa recommends lithium base grease and containing molybdenum or other surface protecting
additives. The NLGI specification of the grease is shown in the table below.
Classification of hydraulic oils and grease

Brand Hydraulic oil Grease
Application ISO VG32 ISO VG46 ISO VG68 NLGI No.1 NLGI No.2
Hot and humid Warm or hot and
Area Cold district Warm district Cold district
district humid district
It is important that FRD Rod Grease should be used for lubricating the rod and bushes. This grease is a
copper based grease designed to give maximum lubrication of the rod even when the rod has been heated
during operation. Other greases do not give the same level of lubrication at higher temperatures.
Oil temperature control

• The breaker is operated by the hydraulic power source of the construction machine (hydraulic excavator,
etc.). After warming up the excavator, start the operation when the hydraulic oil temperature is approx. 40°C.
Usually, the hydraulic oil temperature must be controlled between 40°C and 60°C while the breaker is
operating.
• If the hydraulic oil temperature exceeds 80°C, the viscosity is lowered to cause not only malfunction of the
breaker but also short service life of the seals, deterioration of the hydraulic oil and the like. When using the
machine in extremely hot weather, pay special attention to the oil temperature control.
NOTICE
If you have operated the breaker when the oil temperature has exceeded 80°C, you must
check the seals.
2 - 30
Hydraulic oil
Oil contamination
• Contamination of the hydraulic oil may not only damage the hydraulic breaker but also damage the
excavator's hydraulic devices and parts. It is important to check the contamination daily.
• Pay special attention to the oil contamination and replace it earlier than usual if necessary. When replacing
the oil, clean the hydraulic oil tank, cylinder, and pipes completely. Check the hydraulic oil when cleaning
and replacing the oil filter.
Filter ： Replace it after the first 50 hours and subsequently every 100 hours.
Hydraulic oil ： Replace it after the first 250 hours and subsequently every 600 hours.
• It is recommended to control the cleanness of the hydraulic oil for the hydraulic breaker with "NAS Grade 9"
* as a standard.
When you have a question about the oil contamination, contact your dealer.
*NAS (National Aerospace Standard Committee) 1638

The standard about the cleanness of the hydraulic oil, which is provided for the hydraulic system of aircrafts,
is used to control the contamination of the hydraulic oil.
To judge the cleanness of NAS Grade 9 at a job site, the following method is one example.
[Example]
Put each of the hydraulic oil, used and new, into transparent containers. Then, compare them visually. If you
can see the difference in cleanness between them, the hydraulic oil is contaminated beyond NAS Grade 9.
NOTICE
When the replacement interval of the hydraulic oil is specified by the excavator’s maker,
compare it with the interval specified by Furukawa and follow the specification of the shorter
interval.

WHEN TO REPLACE THE ROD AND FRONT
BUSH/FRONT HOLDER
NOTICE
Use of a non-genuine rod will void the warranty of the breaker parts.
• Replace the rod with a new one when the rod end is worn and reaching the wear limit. (See "WEAR LIMIT
DIMENSIONS FOR CONSUMABLE PARTS" on P.3-9.)
• Visually check the rod. If cracks are found, replace the rod with a new one.
• When the gap between the rod and front bush becomes large, only small part of the piston will strike the
rod, making the rod easy to break. Therefore, when the diametric gap seems to exceed the standard value,
check the wear on the front bush and front holder. When the gap has reached the wear limit, replace both
items.

ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment of the stroke adjuster
Models Fxj275, Fxj375 and Fxj475 are equipped with a mechanism that permits changing of the number of
blows by adjustment of the stroke adjuster rotation. Since this mechanism can adjust the number of blows by
changing the piston stroke, without changing oil pressure and oil flow consumption, it can be widely used
from primary to secondary breaking. Using a higher blow rate for secondary breaking of soft rock results in
better work efficiency in general.
1. The adjustment is done as follows. Loosen the nut and close the stroke adjuster fully and the stroke will
be the longest and the number of blows will be the minimum.
2. Return the stroke adjuster by 6 turns from the fully-closed status and the stroke will be the shortest and
the number of blows will be the maximum. Adjust the number of blows within this range.
Fully closed
(Max. stroke length)
Direction of rotation
of the adjuster
3. The number of blows will be approximately 1.5 times more than the fully-closed status of the stroke
adjuster and the impacting energy will be approximately 2/3.
3 - 27
Adjustment
Adjustment of the valve adjuster

A valve adjuster is installed on top of the valve housing for the Fxj275, Fxj375 and Fxj475 This valve
adjuster is used to adjust the oil consumption of the breaker. Turning the valve adjuster counter clockwise
increases the number of blows and oil consumption and turning it clockwise decreases the number of blows
and oil consumption
CAUTION
When the adjustment exceeds the valve adjuster adjustment range, it may break the internal
seals, causing oil to flow out from the breaker, which is dangerous.
NOTICE
Adjustment is necessary only when the breaker is mounted on a hydraulic excavator that is
out of the compatible range (when the oil flow and pressure are less than the specification).
Do not make an adjustment unnecessarily.
• The position of the valve adjuster shown in Table 1 is an example, which may be different from the
appropriate position pre-set before shipment from the factory.

• Fully close the valve adjuster and then turn it counter clockwise for adjustment. When the valve
adjuster is closed completely, a mark is punched on valve adjuster in alignment with mark on
valve housing. (0-point match mark)
• Regulate valve adjuster so that operating pressure and oil consumption will be as shown in Table 1.
When operating pressure and oil consumption do not reach specified levels, adjust relief valve on
the excavator and others.
