SAFETY Safety notices in NPK Instruction Manuals follow ISO and ANSI standards for safety warnings:

DANGER (red) notices indicate an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. WARNING (orange) notices indicate a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. CAUTION (yellow) notices indicate a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.

ATTENTION (blue) notices in NPK Instruction Manuals are an NPK standard to alert the reader to situations which, if not avoided, could result in equipment damage.

WARNING – FALLING OR FLYING DEBRIS decals are included with each NPK CONCRETE CRUSHER. The decal must be installed in the cab, visible to the operator. WARNING - STAY CLEAR decals are installed on all NPK CONCRETE CRUSHERS. Keep them clean and visible. NPK will provide decals free of charge as needed.

Warning Decal for Cab Installation

SAFETY OPERATION

1. Operator personnel must read and understand the NPK INSTRUCTION MANUAL to prevent serious or fatal injury.

2. FLYING OR FALLING DEBRIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY. Keep personnel and bystanders clear of the CONCRETE CRUSHER while in operation.

3. Do not operate CONCRETE CRUSHER without an impact resistant shield between the CONCRETE CRUSHER and operator. Operate with extreme caution near walls or columns that may collapse and near concrete and debris that may fall.

4. Operate the CONCRETE CRUSHER from the operator’s seat only.

5. Use two people whenever operator visibility is limited, one to operate the CONCRETE CRUSHER, the other to guide operations.

6. Do not leave a load suspended in air. 7. Do not pass a load over people, vehicles, etc. 8. Do not operate the CONCRETE CRUSHER

within reach of power lines. 9. Do not climb, sit, or ride on the CONCRETE

CRUSHER.

10. Match the CONCRETE CRUSHER size to excavator according to NPK

recommendations. The excavator must be stable during CONCRETE CRUSHER operation and during transport. See CARRIER COMPATIBILITY section of the NPK instruction manual.

11. Do not operate without inspection (access) covers in place. 12. Be especially cautious around hydraulic lines. Hydraulic oil can be extremely HOT!

Avoid skin contact with hydraulic oil. It can cause severe burns! 13. Protect hands and body from hydraulic fluids under pressure. Escaping high

pressure fluid can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting any lines. Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard, or other object. If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately! Hydraulic fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene may result.

14. The pressure generated by the power intensifier on the CONCRETE CRUSHER exceeds 10,000 psi (690 bar), which is higher than commonly encountered on hydraulic equipment. To avoid bodily harm and/or injury when conducting inspection checks, use gauges, hoses and fittings rated at 15,000 psi (1035 bar). For parts replacement, use only genuine NPK replacement parts. Contact NPK Service Department at 1-800-225-4379.

15. When removing or installing mounting pins, beware of flying metal chips.

SAFETY MAINTENANCE

1. Use only NPK supplied replacement parts. NPK specifically disclaims any responsibility for bodily injury or CONCRETE CRUSHER damage that results from the use of parts not sold or approved by NPK.

2. Use extreme caution in handling. A fully assembled CONCRETE CRUSHER can

weigh up to 5 tons (4-1/2 tonnes). Sub-assemblies range in weight from hundreds to thousands of pounds. To avoid bodily harm, use lifting and securing mechanisms of adequate capacity to support loads. Seek the aid of an assistant as much as possible, and always when handling heavier sub-assemblies.

3. Wear safety glasses and protective clothing when working on the CONCRETE

CRUSHER. Wear thermal-protective gloves when handling heated parts. 4. Prevent exposure to hazardous fumes. Remove all paint, grease, and oil before

heating, cutting or welding on the CONCRETE CRUSHER. 5. Be especially cautious around hydraulic lines. Hydraulic oil can be extremely HOT!

Avoid skin contact with hydraulic oil. It can cause severe burns! 6. Protect hands and body from hydraulic fluids

under pressure. Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting any lines. Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard, or other object. If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately! Hydraulic fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene may result.

7. The pressure generated by the power intensifier on the CONCRETE CRUSHER

exceeds 10,000 psi (690 bar), which is higher than commonly encountered on hydraulic equipment. To avoid bodily harm and/or injury when conducting inspection checks, use gauges, hoses and fittings rated at 15,000 psi (1035 bar). For parts replacement, use only genuine NPK replacement parts. Contact NPK Service Department at 1-800-225-4379.

8. When removing or installing mounting pins, beware of flying metal chips.

SAFETY MAINTENANCE STANDARD PRACTICES

Maintenance of and repairs to the CONCRETE CRUSHER should be performed by an experienced service technician, thoroughly familiar with all standard practices and procedures, and most importantly, all safety precautions. The following is a review of common standard practices to be followed when working with hydraulic equipment, and is not meant to be all-inclusive. Rather, this review is presented as a reminder as to some of the unique characteristics of hydraulic equipment. The prevention of foreign contaminant damage is critical when working with

hydraulic equipment. Protect exposed holes and parts to guard against entry of foreign contaminants. Thoroughly clean the work area.

Mark the location and position of mating parts as an aid to re-assembly. Mark

corresponding parts uniquely to reflect their relationship, including proper location, position, orientation, and/or alignment.

DO: During assembly, observe all markings made during disassembly, and all

corresponding features of mating parts to ensure proper location, position, orientation, and alignment.

During disassembly of a sub-assembly, place removed components on a clean, dry

surface, in proper relative position as an aid in re-assembly. Always inspect threaded areas on components. Repair or replace as required.

Use care to avoid scratches, nicks, dents, or other damage to machined surfaces of mating components.

When securing a component, always tighten cap screws gradually in an opposing

pattern, applying the specified torque. Grease can be used to temporarily hold a part in place while the abutting part is

placed into position. Always use common sense and exercise standard safety precautions when working

with all tools and equipment required to maintain, repair or troubleshoot the CONCRETE CRUSHER.

CARRIER COMPATIBILITY

These carrier weight ranges are intended as a guideline only. Other factors, such as stick length, counterweights, undercarriage, etc., must be taken into consideration.

Mounting a CONCRETE CRUSHER that is too heavy for the carrier machine is inefficient and can be dangerous and damage the carrier. Verify carrier stability with the CRUSHER before transport or operation. Mounting a CRUSHER that is too small for the carrier machine can damage the unit and void the Warranty. If there is uncertainty whether the CRUSHER model is compatible, consult NPK.

CRUSHER BOOSTER & CYLINDER

I INTRODUCTION

The hydraulic cylinder used on NPK Crushers is equipped with a hydraulic booster. To close the jaw(s) of the crusher, oil from the excavator is directed to the base end of the cylinder, which extends the cylinder rod. Under no load, no boost is applied and this results in a rapid cycle time as compared to large, unboosted cylinders. When a load (material to be crushed) is encountered, pressure builds and shifts the sequence valve on the booster. This directs oil into the booster section, which intensifies the pressure well beyond the system operating pressure of the excavator. The compact NPK Boosted Cylinder System provides a working force equal to a far larger unboosted cylinder, which is working at excavator system pressure. Because the NPK boosted cylinder is smaller it requires less oil for full stroke as compared to a large diameter cylinder. This reduces cycle time for the NPK Crusher. To open the jaw(s) of the NPK Crusher, oil is directed to the rod end of the cylinder. This retracts the rod and pulls the jaw open. No boost is provided in the jaw opening mode.

II STRUCTURE OF THE BOOSTED CYLINDER

FIG. 1 STRUCTURE OF THE BOOSTED CYLINDER As shown in (Figure 1), the booster consists of:

*Cylinder Piston and Rod Assembly *Booster Piston *Booster Valve and Plunger *Pilot Check Valve (c20) and Check Valve 1 (c21) thru Check Valve 5 (c25) *Sequence Valve (c16)

For a complete breakdown of the parts in the boosted cylinder assembly, see the parts manual for each unit.

III OPERATING PRINCIPLE

FIG. 2 CYLINDER EXTEND (NO LOAD)

1. Cylinder Extend (Jaw Close) Under No Load (Figure 2)

When the cylinder is extended (jaw close), and no load is encountered, oil is directed through the booster unit to the base end of the cylinder. Hydraulic pressure is low at no load and no boost is provided. 2. Booster Actuation (Figures 3 thru 6)

When a load (material to be broken) is encountered on jaw close, the hydraulic pressure through the booster unit starts to rise. When the hydraulic pressure reaches a pre-set value, the sequence valve (c16) shifts and directs oil through the control valve of the booster and to the booster piston. This starts the boosting process. The booster piston is double ended and provides boost in each direction of booster piston travel.

CRUSHER BOOSTER & CYLINDER 2-1 Forward Piston Stroke (Figure 3)

FIG. 3 FORWARD PISTON STROKE The hydraulic oil that has passed through the sequence valve and booster control valve, flows into rear chambers v1 and v2 of the booster piston and strokes it toward chamber v4. Because the area of the piston in chamber v1 is greater than the area at v4, the pressure at v4 is intensified. This higher pressure oil is pushed through v4 and to the base end of the cylinder and closes c23.

CRUSHER BOOSTER & CYLINDER 2-2 Booster Valve Shift (Figure 4)

FIG. 4 BOOSTER VALVE SHIFT

When the booster piston reaches full stroke, oil entering port (c26) of the piston transfers to port (c27) and to the plunger end of the booster control valve. This shifts the valve as seen in Figure 4.

When the booster valve has been shifted, oil from the sequence valve (c16) is directed through the booster valve to chambers v3 and v4 of the booster piston. This strokes the booster piston toward chamber v2. The oil in chamber v2 is compressed and sent through c23 to the base end of the cylinder. c24 and c20 are also closed.

When the booster piston reaches full reverse stroke, oil drains out of the plunger end of the booster control valve through ports (c27) and (c28) of the booster piston. The booster control valve spring moves the valve toward the plunger. This places the valve in position to direct oil to the piston to start the next forward piston stroke. These forward and reverse piston strokes will continue as long as the operating pedal in the cab is depressed and there is sufficient resistance (load) to crushing to keep the booster active.

CRUSHER BOOSTER & CYLINDER 3. Cylinder Retract (Jaw Open) (Figure 7)

FIG. 7 CYLINDER RETRACT

When the crusher jaw(s) is opened, oil from the hydraulic circuit of the excavator is directed through the booster to the rod end of the cylinder. A pilot signal from this flow is sent to the pilot check valve. This opens the pilot check valve allowing oil to be pushed out of the base end of the cylinder as the rod retracts. As the cylinder rod retracts, the crusher jaw is opened. There is no boost on jaw opening.

HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION NPK HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION KITS are available for virtually all compatible excavator models. The kits include all parts and complete instructions for the hydraulic installation, including valving and/or controls, hoses and fittings, boom and stick tubing, and clamps. Combination kits that can also be used for hydraulic hammer or compactor operation are available. See your NPK dealer for details or call NPK direct at 1-800-225-4379.

SHUT-OFF VALVES Most NPK HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION KITS use two shut-off valves (k4) on the dipper stick (k1) of the carrier. Make sure the shut-off valves (k4) are turned to the “ON” (k5) position before operating the CRUSHER. NOTE: A pressure test port (k8) is located in the shut-off valve spool.

HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION

HYDRAULIC QUICK DISCONNECTS NPK discourages the use of quick disconnects on hydraulic circuits operating NPK products, including Concrete Crushers, for the following reasons:

1. The hydraulic pulsations caused by the Crusher operating can cause internal pieces of the quick disconnect to disintegrate. These pieces would migrate into the Crusher, causing damage. Direct connection of the crusher hose to the stick tube (39) is approved.

2. Quick disconnects (32) create a restriction in the circuit. NPK Crushers are not back pressure sensitive, but restrictions cause unnecessary heating of the oil. Also, the pressure required to operate the Crusher, plus the restriction of the disconnects may push an older, low pressure excavator to the limit of its hydraulic system. This would interfere with proper Crusher operation.

39 = APPROVED CONNECTION 32 = NON-RECOMMENDED QUICK DISCONNECT

3. If quick disconnects are used, when the

Crusher is removed from the excavator, the tube ends and hoses should be capped to keep them clean. As this cannot be relied upon, contamination of the disconnect will be flushed into Crusher when re-connected. This, again, can cause damage.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

DAILY INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE The functions that the Crusher performs are demanding jobs in tough environments. Therefore, it is extremely important that the following maintenance and inspection procedures be performed daily. VERY IMPORTANT! Grease all lubrication points daily! Use moly EP2 or

equivalent grease. Lubrication points are at the following location points shown on pages 35, 36 and 37.

Check for oil leaks at the cylinder piston rods and all of the Crusher’s hoses and

fittings. Check all fasteners for looseness. Retighten if necessary.

Inspect all welds and repair as necessary.

Inspect the hydraulic hoses for wear, damage or oil leakage.

Check the condition of the cutting blades. Rotate, or repair as necessary (see

REBAR CUTTER BLADE MAINTENANCE section for instructions). Check to ensure that blade-to-blade clearance is .010 to .040 inch (0.25 to 1.0 mm).

Shim if necessary (see REBAR CUTTER BLADE MAINTENANCE section for instructions).

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

WEEKLY MAINTENANCE

Inspect the jaw teeth for wear. Hardface worn areas as needed. The jaw teeth can be cut off and replaced when worn beyond rebuild limits. Refer to page 39 for procedure. Working with excessively worn jaws will reduce working efficiency.

MINIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN FIXED AND MOVEABLE JAW

The distance between the fixed (BI) and moveable jaw (BD) must be maintained on U-Series Crushers so that the crusher cylinder will not reach full stroke and become bottomed during operation. If the cylinder becomes bottomed, damage to the head cap or the piston retaining nut may occur. (Cylinder at full extension.)

When the jaw teeth become worn, allowing the gap (d3) to become less than the minimum shown in table , the teeth must be replaced or built up by welding to dimension (d3) shown in table .

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

TEETH MAINTENANCE & REPLACEMENT The U-Series CRUSHER has two types of jaw teeth. Type “A” (BW) as found on the moveable jaw and Type “B” (BX) as found on the main frame. Both types can be cut off and replaced when worn beyond rebuildability. For build-up and hardfacing, use NPK templates to check teeth so that they are to the original profile. Contact NPK for the correct templates for each model.

TOOTH PLATE REPLACEMENT (BOLT-ON TYPE)

1. Unbolt and remove tooth plate from moveable jaw. Consult parts manual for part number of the tooth plate.

2. Bolt in new tooth plate. 3. Teeth on tooth plate can be built up and hardfaced. See below.

TOOTH REPLACEMENT (WELD-ON TYPE)

The following procedure should be followed in the replacement of NPK Crusher Teeth.

1. Remove worn teeth by carbon arc or acetylene cutting torch. 2. Prepare surface for new teeth. 3. Place new teeth into proper location. 4. Dry welding rod to 300F (150C) +. 5. Pre-heat weld area to 300F - 350F (150 - 175C). 6. Joining and build up.

For joining, stringer beads are best. For build up, weaving is acceptable. Use one of the following rods (or wire equivalent) or equal: Airco Austex 361, Cronatron 7770, Eutectic 3205, Stoody 2110, Postalloy 205, Hi-Pact #194 (Canada).

7. Hardfacing tooth and structure wear surfaces. Pre-heat as in step 5. Use two passes maximum for hardfacing. Use one of the following rods (or wire equivalent) or equal: Airco Hardcraft 1A, Cronatron 7355, Eutectic N6006, Postalloy 214, Stoody 31, Wear-X #176 (Canada), Stoody 19, 21, or 77, McKay Hardalloy 40 Tic, Hobart Smooth Arc 16.

8. Adjust weld current to rod manufacturer's specification. 9. Peen each layer. 10. Cool slowly. Cover weld in cold environments.

40

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

TOOTH BUILD-UP Underlayment weld is necessary to build-up the base material to match the original jaw or tooth profile before hardfacing. You cannot hardface directly over old hardfacing. Welding rod: Airco Austex 361, Cronatron 7770, Eutectic 3205, Stoody 2110,

Postalloy 205, Hi-Pact #194 (Canada). Dry welding rod at 300°F+ (150°C+). Pre-heat the jaw weld area to 300° to 400°F (150° to 200°C) and maintain this

temperature during the welding operation. It is very important to maintain this temperature in cold environments.

Adjust weld current to rod manufacturer’s specification. Peen each layer. Cool slowly. Cover weld in cold environments.

GENERAL HARDFACING Hardface can only be applied over base material or underlayment weld. Never hardface existing hardface. Welding rod: Airco Tubecraft 1A, Cronatron 7355, Eutectic N6006, Postalloy 214,

Stoody 31, Wear-X #176 (Canada), Stoody 19, 21 or 77, McKay Hardalloy 40 Tic, Hobart Smooth Arc 16.

Dry welding rod at 300°F (150C) +. Pre-heat the jaw weld area to 350°F (175C) and maintain this temperature during

the welding operation. It is very important to maintain this temperature in cold environments.

2. Install new packing into the cylinder head cap and install the cylinder head cap onto

the cylinder rod. 3. Install the piston (c2) with the dimple

(24) found on the piston away from the rod eye.

4. After the nut has been tightened to the listed torque value, it is necessary to drill a

dimple in the piston through the set screw hole in the nut. This will allow the set screw to lock the nut to the piston. The maximum depth of the drilled hole should not exceed 0.5 mm or 1/64”. Apply a small amount of thread adhesive to the set screw before installing. Torque to 10 ft. lbs.

ROD NUT INSTALLATION TORQUES

5. The torques listed below are for rod nuts used in the cylinder assemblies for the NPK Crushers. When assembling old style during rebuild, it is also recommended that thread adhesive is used to ensure complete clamping. New style rod nuts have an ND patch that does not require the use of thread adhesive.

There are two styles of factory piston lock nuts. Figure (A) shows the early style. Figure (B) shows the current style. Figure (C) shows the replacement style. If the factory lock nuts are re-used, a “dimple” must be drilled into the piston rod (Fig. A) or piston (Fig. B) using the existing threaded hole as a guide. The maximum depth of the drilled hole should not exceed 0.5 mm (1/64 in). Apply a small amount of medium thread adhesive to the set screw before installing. If the lock nut is replaced, the replacement will have a nylon patch and not require a set screw (Fig. C).

2. Grind gouged area to a 30° angle on each side to the full depth of the gouged area. If the crack is completely through the plate or jaw, grind the bevel in halfway from both sides. Remove all slag and grinding residue.

3. Consult “JAW AND FRAME REBUILD PROCEDURE” found on the following pages for pre-heat and welding instructions.

4. Peen or stress relieve after each pass. Maintain pre-heat.

5. After welding, grind area flush. Allow area to cool slowly, 8 hours minimum. Cover with a heat blanket or other suitable insulation. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE CRYSTALLIZATION OF THE WELD AND SUBSEQUENT BREAKAGE.

NOTE: NPK Construction Equipment, Incorporated has developed this repair procedure based on known information about the structure and material. This, however, does not imply that repairs made using this procedure are guaranteed to be successful. NPK, therefore, cannot warranty this procedure. There is NO warranty regarding this repair either expressed or implied.

48

REPAIR REPAIR OF JAWS AND MAIN FRAME Due to the abrasive nature of the material being crushed, jaw wear will occur. The jaws must be built up with hardface weld when the clearance between the tip of the jaws in the closed position is worn to the extent that the material can no longer be crushed efficiently. To ensure maximum crushing performance, this rebuild procedure, comprised of three steps, should be followed:

1. Surface Preparation 2. Underlayment Weld 3. Hardface Weld

1. SURFACE PREPARATION Grind the entire worn area until it is smooth and clean. Remove all paint, grease, oil, dirt and old hardfacing material before welding. 2. UNDERLAYMENT Underlayment weld is necessary to build-up the base material (DH) to match the original jaw or tooth profile before hardfacing. You cannot hardface directly over old hardfacing! Welding rod: Airco Austex 361, Cronatron 7770, Eutectic 3205, Stoody 2110,

Postalloy 205, Hi-Pact #194 (Canada). Dry welding rod at 300F+ (150°C +).

Pre-heat the jaw weld area to 300° to 400°F (150° to 200°C) and maintain this temperature during the welding operation. It is very important to maintain this temperature in cold environments.

Adjust weld current to rod manufacturer’s specification.

REPAIR REPAIR OF ROTARY JOINT ASSEMBLY ROTATING STYLE

LEAKAGE OF THE SEALS External leakage or internal (bypassing) of hydraulic oil will require the replacement of the seals in the rotary joint assembly. For external leakage, please review the seal replacement procedure in the next section. If internal leakage is suspected, please proceed to the “Testing the Rotary Joint Seals for Internal Leakage” section.

TESTING THE ROTARY JOINT SEALS FOR INTERNAL LEAKAGE

If internal seal leakage is suspected, before disassembling the rotary joint assembly (CG), the relief valve pressure setting should be checked. Internal leakage will most likely prevent the unit from reaching the pressure setting in both open and close functions. The relief valve cartridges (c17 and c18) are located on the rotary joint assembly (CG) in blocks (bs24) that are attached to the spindle (CA). Access to this area is through the upper side plates of the crusher main frame. The relief valve adjustment screws (ma14) are located beneath the plastic caps (FN). Before attempting to adjust the relief setting, please check that the relief valve cartridge has not loosened in the block. Procedure Install 5,000 psi (350 bar) gauges in the NPK stop valves (located on the stick of the machine). Close the jaw and keep the function activated and read the pressure. Compare the pressure reached with the specifications for your model crusher. Repeat check while opening the jaw and read pressure. Please note that if the relief pressure cannot be reached with the jaw closed and the intensifier booster is clicking rapidly, this indicates a booster problem not a relief problem. If the proper relief pressure cannot be reached and the booster slows or stops, then disassemble the rotary manifold to check for failed seals.

REPAIR REPAIR OF ROTARY JOINT ASSEMBLY ROTATING STYLE

The swivel assembly is located between the top bracket, which is pinned to the carrier, and the crusher frame that rotates. Hydraulic oil for both open and close operations passes through it. The swivel assembly consists of two main parts, the “Spindle Case”, which contains the oil seals, and the “Spindle”, which rotates with the crusher frame.

REPLACEMENT OF THE SEALS IN THE ROTARY JOINT

Tools needed: 19mm & 22mm open end wrenches 41mm & 46mm open end wrenches External snap ring pliers

The jaw of the crusher should be closed and the frame supported or pinned to prevent rotation during repair. Here, the shipping pins are inserted to lock the rotation.

REPAIR REPLACEMENT OF THE SEALS IN THE ROTARY JOINT Step 1 Remove the rotation hoses at the holding valve (top center of figure 1), see page 51. Remove the rotation motor hoses and motor fittings. Disconnect the cylinder hoses at the side plates of the top bracket. Do not remove the hoses to the top bracket (AO) from the “Spindle Case” (BZ), they will be used to help lift it off the “Spindle” (CA). Do not disturb the elbow fittings (CF) in the “Spindle Case” (BZ). Step 2 (Figure 2) Remove the snap ring (AJ) and washer (U) from the top of the swivel assembly. Pull the “Spindle Case” (BZ) off the “Spindle” (CA) (the hoses can be used for this).

REPAIR REPLACEMENT OF THE SEALS IN THE ROTARY JOINT Step 3 (Figure 3) Inspection: Visually inspect the sealing surfaces (120) of the spindle (CA) for damage, which may hamper the ability of the o-rings to seal. Polishing the surface may clean up light scratching. If heavy galling is found, replace the spindle. Heavy scratching or galling may indicate rotator-bearing play. Step 4 (Figure 4) Seal removal and replacement: Sealing is accomplished with a combination of o-rings and back-up rings, which ride against the “Spindle”. Remove the o-rings and back-up rings with a seal pick (note the order of placement). Check the grooves (118) in the “Spindle Case” (BZ) for burrs or scoring damage. Light polishing or honing may be required.

CRUSHER RELIEF LOCATIONS

Relief valves for the “U” Series and the G30JR Crushers are located below the rotary joint (on rotator models) and below the joint assembly on fixed units. The reliefs are accessed through the same inspection plates on all models.

RELIEF VALVE LOCATION (c17, c18) J UNITS

RELIEF VALVE LOCATION (c17, c18) JR UNITS

The relief valves (c17) for the G7, G18J and the G26J Crushers are mounted on the cylinder boosters (c11).

Before attempting to adjust the relief pressures of a NPK crusher, the carrier circuit relief setting must be checked. The circuit relief setting must be at least 200 psi above the crusher relief (operating) pressure. The test ports on the NPK stop valves are used for checking the carrier relief settings and to test and set the crusher reliefs. Refer to the Hydraulic Installation section of the U-Series Secondary Concrete Crusher Operation and Maintenance Manual.

TROUBLESHOOTING

DETERMINE THE TYPE OF PROBLEM Performance problems are classified as “LOSS OF POWER” or “LOSS OF CYCLE SPEED” (assuming the problem is not due to misapplication). 1. LOSS OF POWER

NPK Crusher and Material Processor jaw crushing/cutting forces are determined by operating pressure settings and NPK pressure intensifier performance.

2. LOSS OF CYCLE SPEED NPK Crusher and Material Processor cycle speed is determined by oil flow to the unit. The installation circuit must be set to provide the correct flow.

DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM Technical problems are caused by either (1) the NPK Crusher or (2) the hydraulic system (carrier hydraulics or installation kit). Checking the hydraulic pressure and flow will determine if the problem is in the Crusher or the carrier. If the pressures and flow available to the Crusher are correct, the problem is in the Crusher.

59

TROUBLESHOOTING

LOSS OF POWER Loss of power can be caused by low carrier relief valve setting or low Crusher relief valve setting. Verify correct relief valve settings of the carrier and the Crusher, see troubleshooting chart Fig. 1 and pressure measuring procedure on page 60. If the relief valve pressures are to specification, proceed to troubleshooting chart Fig. 5 and the Intensifier operation section on page 63.

LOSS OF POWER MEASURING OPERATING PRESSURES Tools and Equipment required: Pressure gauge – 5,000 psi (350 bar) Test port adapter – to fit #4 SAE female port in NPK shut-off valve Test hose – rated for 5,000 psi (350 bar)

RELIEF VALVE CHECKING AND SETTING PROCEDURE NPK Installation kits provide shut-off valves (k4) with test ports in both the jaw open and jaw close hydraulic lines. Install pressure test hoses in both test ports as shown in Fig 2.

A) CIRCUIT RELIEF VALVE Verify that the crusher (BV) is being supplied with the required pressure:

1. Install 0 – 5,000 psi (350 bar) pressure gauge in #4 SAE test port located in both shut-off valves at the end of the stick.

2. Turn shut-off valve (k4) to the “OFF” position.

3. Start machine. Set throttle position to full. Actuate hydraulic circuit to close jaw.

4. Pressure reading P3 at gauge should be at least 200 psi (14 bar) more than P2 on Fig. 4 chart, see page 61.

*NOTE: If pressure is less than relief shown on Fig. 4 chart, page 61, reset accordingly.

B) CRUSHER RELIEF VALVE After the Crusher circuit has been verified, check the Crusher relief valves settings: 1. With 0 – 5,000 psi (350 bar) gauge installed on both left (close) and right (open)

sides of the stick, open shut-off valves. 2. Start machine. Set throttle at full RPM and close jaw completely and hold for 10

seconds. Check psi (bar) on gauge and compare to P2 on Fig. 4 chart, page 61. Set relief on Crusher accordingly.

3. The booster will start to click. Depending on oil temperature, the booster will continue to click slowly compensating internal leaking in the main cylinder. This is normal.

4. If intensifier is clicking rapidly, pressure may not reach relief setting due to severe intensifier or cylinder leakage.

5. Open Crusher jaw to fully open position, hold for 10 seconds. Check psi (bar) on gauge and compare to Fig. 4 chart, page 61. Set relief on Crusher accordingly.

TROUBLESHOOTING

LOSS OF POWER PRESSURE INTENSIFIER SEQUENCE VALVE AND RELIEF VALVE ACTUATION Close the jaws, without material in them. When the jaw cylinder is fully stroked, the load pressure (pr) rises until it reaches the sequence valve setting (P1), the oil is then diverted to the pressure intensifier. The load pressure momentarily (mo) levels off at the sequence valve pressure then rises to the Crusher relief valve setting (P2). The excavator relief valve acts only as a safety relief, and must be set a minimum of 200 psi (P3) above the NPK relief valve setting (P2) shown below.

64

TROUBLESHOOTING

LOSS OF POWER PRESSURE INTENSIFIER OPERATION NPK’s exclusive pressure intensifier system is used in NPK Crushers and Material Processors to boost cylinder pressure to increase the jaw closing forces. When the intensifier is working properly, a rapid clicking sound will be heard, indicating the pressure intensifier is actuated, as the jaws begin to close against resistance. As the jaws grasp tighter onto the material, the clicking will begin to slow. This slowing will continue until the material is either broken or the crusher meets full resistance. At full resistance, the clicking will slow dramatically or sometimes stop completely. PRESSURE INTENSIFIER (c14), MAIN VALVE (c15) AND SEQUENCE VALVE (c16) The main valve assembly and the sequence valve are located on the pressure intensifier assembly.

LOSS OF POWER

RAPID CONTINUOUS CLICKING IS HEARD AND THE MATERIAL IS NOT BEING BROKEN AS EXPECTED This indicates that a problem is not a relief valve or sequence valve setting, but in the intensifier or the cylinder of the Crusher. This requires further investigation by a mechanic/technician, see chart Fig. 5, page 63.

CHECKING BOOSTED PRESSURE

EXTREMELY HIGH PRESSURE OIL!

NPK gauge assembly, 0 – 15,000 psi (0 – 1,000 bar) P/N L017-8000 is available to directly check the boosted pressure on all Crushers and Material Processors. These units have three test ports on the intensifier assembly as shown below.

0 – 15,000 psi (0 – 1,000 bar) CD K023-6690 Male Adapter CB L007-6630 Female Swivel Adapter

1. Remove a plug from one of the test ports and install adapter (CD). Choose the port that will give you gauge clearance and best viewing.

2. Install adapter (CB) onto gauge (fm4). Use thread sealant.

3. Install gauge onto adapter (CD).

4. Close jaw all the way. Pressure will rise to the point where intensification starts (P1 on Fig 3, see page 61) and then go up to full boosted pressure of approximately 12,000+ psi. When the clicking of the booster slows, the booster is at full intensification; click. . . .click. . . .click . . . .etc., is normal. If the clicking continues rapidly and will not slow down, then there may be a problem with the intensifier or Crusher cylinder.

5. Open jaw all the way. You will now read the relief setting of the jaw open circuit. Note that the booster only works on jaw close. Jaw open sees Crusher relief or carrier circuit relief pressure, whichever is lower.

SLOW CYCLE SPEED

The specified cycle times of the Crusher are controlled by the flow provided by the circuit of the carrier. The published cycle times of the Crusher are a direct result of the maximum published oil flow, see CRUSHER SPECIFICATIONS section of instruction manual. Note: If jaws will not open or close, be sure right and left shut-off blocks are open.

Tools and Equipment required: Pressure gauge – 5,000 psi (345 bar) Test port adapter – to fit #4 SAE female port in shut-off valve Test hose – rated for 5,000 psi (345 bar) Flow meter – Pressure loading type, 60 gpm min. capacity

TROUBLESHOOTING

SLOW CYCLE SPEED

CHECKING THE HYDRAULIC FLOW AT RATED PRESSURE 1. Installation of a Flow Meter Equipped with Pressure Loading Valve. Install the flow meter between the crusher close line and crusher open line as shown

below.

Typically, the jaw close line (CE) is on the left and the jaw open is on the right.

2. Determine Return Line Pressure (Pressure Drop). Open both stop valves and press the Crusher foot switch. Measure the pressure with the load valve of the pressure / flow meter in full open condition.

3. Determine Relief Valve Pressure and Oil Flow. Measure the flow and pressure with the flow meter (t36). Adjust the load valve to zero restriction. Warm up the hydraulic system of the excavator to normal operating temperature. Set engine throttle to maximum. Press crusher close foot switch. Turn in the loading valve knob and record the pressure and flow at regular intervals on graph paper. Record pressure on one axis of the graph and flow on the other. Increase pressure until relief setting is reached. This is the circuit flow chart. Refer to CRUSHER SPECIFICATIONS section of instruction manual for correct flow at 1,000 psi (70 bar) pressure.

JAW DRIFT Some drift may be experienced depending on Processor position. Acceptable drift may occur over a number of minutes. Rapid drift: This may indicate a problem with the cylinders, booster, swivel manifold

and carrier circuit.

TO DETERMINE IF THE JAW DRIFT IS OCCURRING FROM A BAD CYLINDER 1. Remove the hoses from the bulkhead fittings on the outside of the Crusher frame

and close the shut-off valves on carrier. 2. Cap the bulkheads (#20 JIC caps). 3. If the jaw drifts, the problem is in the cylinder, intensifier pilot checks or internal

leakage in rotary joint. If no drift occurs, then the problem is in the carrier’s main control valve. Drift due to main control valve internal leakage may be inherent to the carrier and may not be solvable.
