DISASSEMBLING THE IR30VR SERIES PAVING BREAKERS
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
•
Do not repair the tool at the work site. Always take the
tool to a repair shop. Never drag the tool on the ground.
The air port and other openings will become clogged
with dirt and debris.
•
Clean the breaker outer surface.
•
Do not disassemble the breaker any further than
necessary to replace or repair damaged or worn parts.
•
Whenever grasping a breaker or a part in a vice, always
use leather or copper-covered vice jaws to protect the
surface of the part and help prevent distortion. Take
extra care with threaded parts and housings.
•
Do not remove any part that is a press fit in or on a sub-
assembly unless the removal of the part is necessary for
repairs or replacement.
•
Do not disassemble the breaker unless a complete set of
O-rings is available for replacement.
