CONTENTSHAZARD ALERTS

Danger, Warning, and Caution are hazard alerts used in this manual and on the boom &

breaker decals to identify hazards on or near the Rockbreaker System.

Danger - Immediate hazards, which WILL result in severe personal injury or

death if the proper precautions are not taken.

Warning - Hazards or unsafe practices, which COULD result in personal injury or

death if the proper precautions are not taken.

Caution - Hazards or unsafe practices, which COULD result in product or proper-

ty damage if the proper precautions are not taken.

BTI cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a hazard. The haz-

ard alerts in this publication and on the product are therefore not all inclusive. If a tool,

procedure, work method or operating technique not specifically recommended by BTI is

used, you must satisfy yourself that it is safe for you and others. You should also ensure

that the compactor and carrier will not be damaged or made unsafe by the operation,

maintenance or repair procedures you choose.

Head Foot Eye Hearing

Protection Protection Protection Protection

Do not operate or service the Rockbreaker System unless you are qualified.

Avoid loose fitting clothing, loose or uncovered long hair, jewelry and loose personal

articles. These can get caught in moving parts. Jewelry may also ground a live circuit.

Know and use the protective equipment that is to be worn when operating or servicing

the boom. Hard hats, protective glasses, protective shoes, gloves, reflector type vests

and ear protection are types of equipment that may be required.

Never operate any machinery while you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Consult your supervisor if you do not understand this Manual.


6/706 Rockbreaker General Installation Manual

CONTENTSSAFETY

Do not operate the boom with personnel in the immediate area of the crusher or rock-

breaker.

Do not operate this machine unless you have read and understood the instructions and

warnings in the Owner's Manual. Failure to follow the instructions or heed the warnings

could result in injury or death. Proper care is your responsibility. Contact your distribu-

tor or BTI for replacement manuals or decals.

Hydraulic fluids are under high pressure. Fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate

the skin causing serious injury. Relieve all pressure before disconnecting hoses. Do not

use your hand to check for hydraulic leaks.

If any fluid is injected into the skin, a doctor must surgically remove it within a few

hours or gangrene may set in.

Do not attempt to repair or modify the rockbreaker unless you are a qualified service

technician. Read and understand your owner's manuals. Failure to follow the instruc-

tions or heed the warnings could result in severe personal injury or death. Proper care is

your responsibility. Contact your distributor or BTI for replacement parts.

Rockbreaker components are heavy or awkward, plan carefully how you will handle

them when installing, removing, or disassembling.

The cylinders are full of air and may need bleeding at startup. Failure to do so will

result in the boom running away and may cause serious injury or property damage.



CONTENTSSITE LOCATION & SIZING

The most crucial part concerning a Rockbreaker installation is determining its location.

If the Rockbreaker cannot cover the customers PROBLEM AREA, it will be ineffective.

This will take in two variables: possible pedestal locations, and boom size. (Boom size

could be affected by pedestal location). The second most important aspect is choosing

the correct breaker size. A breaker that is too small will be ineffective.

The following sections outline how to determine the correct boom and breaker size.

Compiling the answers to the following questions will form the parameters for achiev-

ing the best installation:

A. Concerning material flow through the crusher, where is the

"problem" area?

Where does material bridge up or slow down?

Where is it feasible to break oversize?

B. Where can the pedestal be located so that the boom can

adequately cover the problem area, plus rake material into

the crusher if the operator wishes to do so?

NOTE: It is best to locate the system opposite the dump

point so that the raking is done towards the pedestal, and not by

the swing function of the boom.

C. Would this proposed pedestal location have operator and

service accessibility for the pedestal, boom, and breaker?

D. How hard is the rock, and how often would it be necessary

to break oversize? How many pieces per hour?

Size the boom according to where the problem is located, where the customer wishes

the boom to reach, and where the pedestal must be located. BTI can furnish CoverageDrawings for every boom and breaker combination incorporating dimensional grids to

aid in on-site verifications. Dimensions can be taken from the center line of the swing-

post at the front of the base to locate the pedestal. See Figure 2 on the next page for a

suggested procedure.

DETERMINING CORRECT BOOM SIZE



SITE LOCATION & SIZING

Figure 2Section Through Crusher

To Show Coverage

Parameters

Installation: Stationary jaw crusher

Problem Areas: Bridging over jaw

Require some raking on grizzly

In any situation it would be ideal to cover all problem areas plus the complete box or

feeder. This is not always feasible as some situations would require increasing the boom

size to do this. Emphasis should be placed on covering the pertinent problem area(s)

first.

Our example crusher has a substantial difference in elevations from the top of the jaw to

the feeder floor. Typically the Vertical Breaker Coverage should extend at least half way

into the jaw. The Rockbreaker should be mounted in line with material flow so that it

can rake towards itself. Area "A" on the above illustration is of the greatest concern

although the customer would like to rake on the grizzly and reach as far as possible in

area "B". Area "C" is critical also as it is desirable not to have the coverage too low.

This allows extra clearance above the rock if required to break in this area.

Note how the fattest part of the envelope is stretched over where the Rockbreaker will

be working.




Figure 3 above is typical of the type of coverage drawing furnished by BTI illustrating

the two areas of concern: The first is VERTICAL BREAKER COVERAGE, and the sec-

ond is MAXIMUM REACH.

Vertical Breaker Coverage simply means that, within the envelope represented by cross

hatched lines, the breaker has superior maneuverability for breaking rocks and turning

them to break them. This envelope must be located over the problem area. This situation

required a boom large enough to cover the gyratory crusher and maintain a pedestal

location outside the rock box.

Maximum Reach of the Rockbreaker is represented with a line showing where the tip of

the tool is capable of reaching from the pedestal. Please note how this dimension will

change with the elevation changes. It can easily be determined on site after a pedestal

location has been decided.

In Figures 3,4,5 on the following pages, the Rockbreaker is located over the problem

area and is installed so that it can work in-line with the material flow.

Figure 3




Figure 4 shows a typical installation over an underground grizzly. The unit is located

opposite the dump point. The coverage enables it to rake and break oversize in line with

material flow on the flat section of the grizzly (where the problem area is). Finer mate-

rial is eliminated on the inclined section of the grizzly. The Vertical Breaker Coverage

remains high enough above oversize on the grizzly to allow sufficient clearance for

turning and breaking.

In this situation a side mounted hammer permits working under low back heights by

allowing a lower elevation for the pedestal. The concrete base under the pedestal is

anchored to the rock.

NOTE: The breaker can reach and operate within all the arcs as shown and does NOT

have to be vertical to fire. The tool, however, must remain at a 90 degree angle to the

rock.

Figure 4




Figure 5 below illustrates a typical installation on a portable crusher. The vertical cover-

age is located over the area where the material is bridging, but also at an elevation

where good reach is still maintained in the feeder.

Figure 5




Figure 6 shows an installation on a mobile crusher. The total weight of the unit and ease

of disassembly are key factors here, so a PB boom is used. A beam straddles the feeder,

and the pedestal is located off to one side allowing good coverage over the feeder and

jaw. Raking the material becomes less important in this situation, so this allows the

pedestal to be located off to the side. In this way, the vertical members on the feeder

can be used in the substructure for the pedestal.

Figure 6



TYPICAL CONCRETE FOUNDATION

This type of installation is used where a concrete pad can be poured on the quarry floor

or anywhere it is feasible to pour a pad in contrast to using structural steel. See Figure 7

showing a typical installation. Note the concrete pad in Fig. 7 is not tied to the quarry

floor, but has sufficient mass to act as a counter weight and remain effective rather than

be anchored down. A base plate must be submerged in the concrete to anchor the bolts,

otherwise they will pull through. A rubber pad or grouting is used under the pedestal toeliminate irregularities and increase the contact between the surface of the concrete and

the base to better distribute the load.

See drawings on the following pages for bolt centers and structural mounting informa-

tion. The next page shows a typical concrete installation. Dimensions for the concrete

base are found on the following page. A re-bar grid in this case is placed above the base

plate embedded in the concrete. The whole system is then anchored to the quarry floor.

CONFIGURATION

The two types of sub-structures used in mounting BTI pedestal mounted Rockbreakers

are Structural Steel and Reinforced Concrete. The customer must determine which one

will be appropriate. BTI will however, offer suggested configurations. BTI incorporates

rubber bushings in its bolt down pedestal design that protect the Rockbreaker from

shock loads. Pedestal bolts should be kept within 1/8 in. of dimensions shown on

mounting information drawings. Conveyor belting sandwiched between the pedestalbase and the substructure will eliminate irregularities between the two surfaces. Bolts

should be torqued to 400-450 ft-lbs or until the washer is flush with the top of the tube.

NOTE: BTI is not responsible for the supply of or design of supporting structures.

SITE PREPARATION FOR PEDESTAL INSTALLATION:

This set up is used when it is necessary to build a tower up to the required elevation

beside or on the crusher, or incorporate a structure into the existing crusher framework.

Please note here that a separate structure from the crusher is preferred but not required.

See Figure 9 for a typical installation. Superior strength is achieved in a tower with the

use of box sections 'X' braced on all sides. Taller towers can locate the power pack on

the next level below the pedestal. In some cases the framework of the crusher becomes

a more suitable mounting location. This will have to be verified on site. In either case itis recommended to provide a platform for adequate service and operator accessibility

around the pedestal (approximately 3 ft).

CONTROLS

To increase the accessibility to the controls for the operator, BTI has made available

three types of controls. The following paragraphs outline these variations. They are:

A. Standard Pedestal Mounted controls

B. Remote Manual ControlsC. Remote Electro/Hydraulic Controls

This control system has an operators seat mounted directly on the rockbreaker pedestal.

The main controls are mounted on the pedestal forward of the operator seat and consist

of a spring return to neutral hydraulic control valve manually operated by four levers

providing independent control of all boom functions. The breaker fire control is mount-

ed on the pedestal deck floor in front of the operator seat. It consists of an electric foot

switch that provides sensitive control of the operation of the hydraulic breaker.

This system has the main control valve

mounted remotely from the Rockbreaker

in any convenient position to increase

the operators accessibility. This valve

can be mounted in an existing operator

enclosure, or a stand can be ordered tomount the valve on or near an operator

platform. An electric foot switch is pro-

vided to fire the breaker. It is recom-

mended the hose length from the bulk-

head on the pedestal to the main control

valve not be more than 30 ft. Greater

distances will affect the sensitivity and

response of the system. The power sup-

ply for the breaker fire solenoid is

placed near the valve in a dust and mois-

ture resistant enclosure.

REMOTE MANUAL CONTROLS:



CONTROLS

This system consists of two dual axis joystick controls with thumb switch on right hand

controller for breaker fire. An indicator "on" light and an emergency stop button are

also located with the controllers. The main control valve is located on the Rockbreaker

pedestal and permits a manual override on all functions. The signal from the joystick

controller is fed through a multi-conductor cable to an electrical activation module on

each spool of the boom control valve. These modules provide sensitive control for themovement of spools through an internal pilot circuit for smooth and positive control of

all cylinder functions.

POWER PACK

Once the pedestal site has been determined, a power pack location can be chosen con-

venient for repair and operator accessibility. The unit can be placed against a wall leav-

ing one side and end open for plumbing connections and service. See below for bolt

centers and orientation. If possible, locate the power pack at the same elevation as the

pedestal in an area not subject to direct exposure to dust and dirt.

BTI will provide hydraulic hoses to connect the power pack to the pedestal. Standard

power pack hoses are 10 ft long. Optional hoses are available in lengths of 15 feet, 20

feet, and 30 feet. The distance required must be specified at the time the order is placed.

If the power pack has to be located at a distance greater than 30 feet, please consult the

factory.

The standard power pack is supplied without any electrical wiring. Electric motor

starters, control panels, and circuits are the customer's responsibility. This allows the

installation to be tied into an existing set-up or control panel. Refer to the General

Electrical Schematic for further information.

INSTALLATION

INSTALLING THE PEDESTAL / TURNTABLE:

Before your Rockbreaker arrives on site conveyor belting should be mounted to the

Pedestal / Turntable base. This will more evenly distribute the Rockbreaker's weight.

Use a crane to lift the pedestal onto the base. Your crane must have sufficient capacity to

lift the Rockbreaker components.

Lift the pedestal / turntable with care, keeping it level the whole time.

Carefully lower the pedestal / turntable and align the Pedestal mounting holes with the

Base mounting holes.

Install rubber grommets, washers and mounting bolts into the mounting holes. (NT

Boom systems do not require rubber grommets).

Torque each bolt, in a dry condition, to 450 foot pounds, or until the washer is flush

with the top of the mounting lug. Torque all bolts evenly.

When mounting the pedestal / turntable to the base, BTI recommends the use of long

bolts, capable of bolting through both flanges of the beam.



INSTALLATION

Rockbreaker pedestals can be mounted to structural steel or concrete. If your installation

requires it you can now crane lift the pedestal and base to its final location on the tower.

For concrete installations refer to your General Installation Manual included in section 2

of your owners manual.

Lift the Power Pack into its location beside the Pedestal.

With your crane, install the Base end of both Hoist Cylinders into the Swing post.

Grease each pin before continuing with assembly.

Insert the pins and retaining bolts.

Let the cylinders lie unsupported for now.

TYPICAL CONCRETE FOUNDATION INSTALLATION:



INSTALLATION

INSTALLING THE INNER BOOM:

Using a crane, lift the Inner Boom assembly and align it with the Pedestal swing post.

Grease each pin before continuing with assembly.

Install the shims, insert the pin and secure it with the pin retaining bolt.

Using a second crane or suitable lifting method, pin the rod ends of the Hoist Cylinders

to the inner boom. You may have to extend or retract the cylinder rod to align it with the

inner boom lug and install the pin retaining bolt.

Connect the Hoist Cylinder hoses to the control valve.

Lower the boom and disconnect the crane.

Figure 47



INSTALLATION

Pin the base end of the dipperstick cylinder to the inner boom.

Strap the rod end of the dipperstick cylinder to the inner boom for now.

INSTALLING THE DIPPERSTICK CYLINDER:

Figure 48



INSTALLATION

PLUMBING THE BOOM & PEDESTAL:

Before connecting the hoses and tubes, remove the pedestal floor plate to verify which

line is pressure and which is return. The pressure outlet is marked on the control valve

with a 'P', and the return to tank is marked 'T'. Label the hoses where they exit the

pedestal bulkhead.

Unpack the hose plumbing kit. And refer to the Boom Hose and Tube Layout drawing

in section 3 of your Owner's Manual.

The routing of your hoses and tubes is shown on this drawing.

Install the stacking clamps, their locations are also on the boom hose and tube layout.

Install the bulkhead fittings. (If Required)

Install the tube assembly bulkhead on the outer boom section.

Next install the cylinder hose adapters.

When installing the hoses, be aware of any grease points and rout the hoses for easy

access to your grease fittings.

Continue plumbing your boom as shown on the boom hose and tube layout drawing.

Typical Control Valve Section

Figure 49



INSTALLATION

CONNECTING THE CONTROL VALVE:

Now install the control valve hoses. This information is shown on the Hydraulic

Schematic in section 4 of your Owner's Manual. Some of these hoses are already

attached. Connect the remaining hoses next to these, to allow easier access with your

tools.

Next attach the hoses from the power pack to the pedestal.

Connect the power pack return line to the pedestal return line.

Connect the power pack pressure line to the pedestal pressure line.

Install the load sense line from the power pack to the pedestal.

Double-check that the pressure line is connected to the pump pressure, and the return

line is connected to the pump return.

Cap the outer boom and breaker hoses at the control valve. This will facilitate the

assembly of the outer boom and breaker.

Install the control valve handles, to prepare the valve for operation.



INSTALLATION

STARTING THE BOOM:

Before initial start up, the following items need to be checked.

If you purchased the fan optional thermostatic control for the Oil Cooler, install it now.

The oil cooler is standard on systems with a TB825 or larger hammer, and optional on

Rockbreakers with smaller hammers.

Set the temperature switches on the thermostatic control. Refer to the Electrical

Requirements section of the General Installation manual for these temperature settings.

If your system was sold with a joystick control, it can now be wired. The wiring

schematic is located inside the joystick control stand.

Add hydraulic oil to the hydraulic tank. Detailed information about your systems oil is

found in the Hydraulic Oil section of the General Installation manual.

Bleed any air from the hydraulic pump case drain.

Your electrician should have electrical power available and connected to the Power

Pack. It's also important to make sure the pump and cooler fan are rotating in the cor-rect direction. With electrical power to your Rockbreaker, bump the motor driving the

hydraulic pump. If you encounter any problems, refer to the Troubleshooting section of

your manual.

Eliminate the remaining air from the hydraulic system by moving each control lever up

and down while the system is running. By extending and retracting the cylinder it will

release the air.

Once the air has been bled from the system and finish filling the hydraulic tank with oil.

Walk around your boom and power pack, checking for and repairing any oil leaks.



STARTUP

SETTING PRESSURES:

First, adjust your Pump's Load Sense or Standby pressure to 450 psi.

Next set the pump and control valve main relief pressure. You must refer to the

hydraulic schematic for these pressure values.

Next, set the pump's cut-off pressure 300 psi above the control valve relief setting,shown on the hydraulic schematic.

Adjust the control valve main relief setting to 200 psi above the pump's cut-off pressure.

And re-adjust the pump's main cut-off to the specification shown on the hydraulic

schematic.

Now, using a flow meter, check and adjust the pump's flow. Adjustment is made at the

pump's mechanical flow limiter.

The pump's Mechanical stop is always factory set. Do Not Adjust it.



BREAKER INSTALLATION

Sling the outer boom and prepare it for installation.

Carefully raise the inner boom to a safe working height and attach the outer boom using

the appropriate shims, pin and retainer bolts.

The cylinders are full of air and may need bleeding at startup. Failure to do so will result

in the boom running away and may cause serious injury or property damage.

Extend the dipperstick cylinder.

Pin the rod end of the cylinder to the outer boom and secure the pin with the retaining

bolt.

To attach the Hydraulic Breaker to the end of the boom, first clean the outer boom nose

bushings and the breaker link bushings.

Remove the hammer mounting pins from the hammer mount.

Ensure that the hydraulic system is capped-off and use the boom to align the hammer

links with the breaker links and the outer boom.

Finish the hammer installation by inserting the pins and retaining bolts.

Install the hammer whip hoses.

ATTACHING THE BREAKER TO THE BOOM:



BREAKER INSTALLATION

INSTALLING THE BREAKER TOOL:

First, knock out the stopper plug and retainer pin.

Then remove the tool retainer.

Lift the tool into position.

For easier installation thoroughly grease the top of the hammer tool with a moly-based

grease.

Install the tool by lowering the hammer onto the tool.

Replace the tool retainer, retainer pin, and stopper plug.

LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE

BOOM LUBRICATION POINTS:

You must lubricate all grease points on the boom. Refer to the drawing below for the

grease points. There are also decals on both the boom and pedestal showing the grease

points specifically on your system.

You must lubricate all grease points before and after the initial start-up. Pump grease

into the fittings until it oozes from around the pins and bushings.

Lubrication points are:

The left and right Swing cylinders, base end and rod end

The Boom Swing, top pin and bottom pin

The Boom Pivot Pin

The Hoist Cylinder, base end and rod end

The Dipperstick Cylinder, base end and rod end

The Boom Joint Pin

The Tilt Cylinder, base end and rod end

The Breaker Link, which has 3 grease fittings

The Boom Link

The Outer Boom Nose Pin

The Breaker.

Figure 51



LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE

Remember to properly grease the hammer tool every 2 hours of operation, with a Moly-

based grease. To do this the breaker must be in a vertical position with enough down

pressure applied to force the tool into the breaker housing. For more detailed instruc-

tions refer to the section Greasing the Breaker, in the Hydraulic Breaker Owners

Manual.

Adjust the control valve and pump pressures. The pressure settings are shown on the

hydraulic schematic in your Owner's manual. Your system comes with a pressure gauge

that you attach to either the Load Sense or Main pressure ports of the control valve

After all the pressures have been set, test the operation of your Rockbreaker system

with the control levers.

Next adjust the control valve speed settings. These settings affect how quickly your

boom moves. BTI recommends a slower boom movement until the operator is comfort-

able with the Rockbreaker's operation.

Now test the operation of the rockbreaker system and hammer movement with the joy-

sticks.

Adjust the boom direction controls to suit the operator's position, pulling the joystick to

the left should move the boom left.

Attach your joystick decals.

The pedestal floor plate can now be reinstalled.

Figure 52



DAILY CHECKS

These checks must be made on your Rockbreaker System every shift.

As a reminder there is a Daily Checks decal on the Power Pack.

Check oil level in reservoir. You do this by looking at the Oil level indicator on the

hydraulic oil tank.

Grease entire machine. During operation, look for clues like excessive noise, or rusty

water, which can indicate a lack of grease.

Visually check for any loose bolts or oil leaks.

Listen for excessive noise from motor or pump.

Check return and pressure filter by-pass under load. Check the filter indicators while

your Rockbreaker is in operation. To check filter cleanliness, indicator must be read

while hammer is firing.

Always change the oil and filters in your system every 1,000 hours of operation. Andcheck and clean the Suction Strainer when you change your filters.

Visually check for:

- Indication of structural fatigue.

- Excess play in the pins.

- Wear in the hinge points.

- Worn hoses and tubes, and check that all hoses and tubing is properly secured.

For detailed maintenance instructions refer to the Owner's manual.

If you need specific information on mounting Rockbreakers to suit your application, our

Service department will be happy to assist you. BTI's Service department can be reached

by calling 1-800-567-8267.
