Danuser LM40 Hammer - Manual (Page 7)

Filtration Requirements:
• A filter of, at least, 25 micron filtration is required. A filter capable of 10 micron
filtration is preferred. The majority of paper type filters are 25 microns or better.
• A low pressure type filter can be installed in the return line from the control valves to
the sump. A low pressure type filter can, also, be installed in the sump or pump intake
line, but must be sized large enough to avoid starving the pump.
• A high pressure type filter can be used between the pump and the control valves.
• If the source of the hydraulic power does not have a filter, it will be necessary to install
one at some point in the system so, at least, part of the hydraulic oil is being filtered
whenever the system is operating. After a filter is installed and before attaching
the Hammer, the entire hydraulic system should be drained, filled with new oil, and
operated for 30 minutes or until the system is warm. During this run time, operate all
valves, cylinders, and hydraulic motors on the attachment.
Pressure and Flow Requirements:
• The Hammer is designed to operate up to 30 GPM and 1500 – 3000 PSI.
Valve Requirements:
• The hydraulic system used to power the Hammer should be equipped with a four-way
valve large enough to carry full pump outlet without restricting flow and causing oil
heating.
• The four-way valve requires a relief valve which will open and relieve extreme
pressures between the Hammer and control valve, even when the control valve is in a
neutral position. This feature can be obtained by connecting two external relief valves
between the main lines running from the control valve to the Hammer in such a way
that high pressure in either line will be relieved to the other line.
Hydraulic Fluid Selection Requirements:
• Premium grade petroleum based fluids will provide the best performance.
• Fluids that contain anti-wear agents, rust inhibitors, anti-foaming agents, and oxidation
inhibitors are recommended.
• The viscosity of the fluid should never fall below 70 SUS (13 cST). The best
viscosity range of the Hammer is 100-200 SUS (20-43 cST).

NOTE
The life of the hydraulic motor is almost entirely dependent upon cleanliness
of the oil. Instructions in your vehicle operator’s manual regarding filter and
oil changes should be carefully followed. Even small amounts of dirt in the
hydraulic oil can cause premature motor failure that is not covered by warranty.
