OPERATION
MOUNTING TO THE CARRIER
1.With the drop hammer laying on a flat level surface bolt the mounting plate to the mounting bracket. Ensure these bolts are torqued to the recommended value.
2.Bring the carrier up to the drop hammer from the bottom or impact end. If you have a quick attachment systems maneuver the mount plate on the carrier until it engages with the adaption plate. Then actuate the slides or levers to lock the plates together. With a pin mount system; maneuver the carrier until the pinholes are aligned and slide in the connection pins.
Ensure the pins are bolted in place. Grease these pivots as per the carrier manufactures recommendations. Never operate the drop hammer with a loose or
Connect the hoses to supply oil to the port marked "PRESS" on the valve block.
3.Carefully raise the drop hammer to the vertical position keeping the base of the machine close to the ground throughout the lifting movement. Slowly move the Cyclone through the full extent of rotation and lift to ensure no part of the machine or any hydraulic hosing foul the carrier arms or cylinders. Ensure hoses are long enough so they do not pull tight in any part of the rotation and short enough to stay clear of the ground or operating area.
4.Once the drop hammer is securely mounted to the carrier the Traveling Lock may be removed. Be sure to store this plate safely for future use.
During use, the traveling lock may be bolted outside the housing using the same hole as shown in Figure 2 below.

The drop hammer's weight is normally rested on the skids during use. However when moving about the drop hammer may represent a heavy load for the carrier. Therefore care must be taken when moving about a job-site or when loading or unloading from a transporter. The drop hammer should be carried as low as possible and special care taken when nego- tiating uneven surfaces. Know the limits of your carrier.
NOTICE
The drop hammer is intended for use only on level or near level surfaces. Do not operate the drop hammer on uneven or unlevel surfaces.
