7.10 Checking and cleaning the
DustProtector system
An important factor for the DustProtector operation is
that the floating ring which moves in a radial direction
can follow the movements of the breaker and the work-
ing tool.
If dust penetrates it, it may block up the available instal-
lation space and interfere with the DustProtector system
operation.

Regularly check that the floating ring(E) can move
freely.
NOTICE Environmental damage due to chisel paste
Chisel paste is environmentally harmful and must not
penetrate the ground or enter the water table or water
supplies.
u Dispose of chisel paste polluted by dust and of cloths
with chisel paste in accordance with the applicable
regulations to avoid environmental hazards.
Regular cleaning and greasing of the installed parts and
their holders safeguards their operation and improves
the availability of the hydraulic breaker.
The inspection frequency depends on how much dust is
generated:
Normal dust generation: once a week (assuming 40–50
hours of operation).
