Stop work when safety is uncertain
Shut down and follow manufacturer lockout, depressurization and inspection procedures for sudden leaks, damaged hoses, loose hardware, excessive movement, unusual impact sound or loss of control. Stored hydraulic and nitrogen pressure can cause severe injury.
Useful details for a repair request
- Breaker make, model and serial number
- Carrier make and model
- Approximate breaker hours and duty cycle
- Current tool and material
- When the symptom began
- Visible leakage or damaged components
- Recent hose, seal, nitrogen or accumulator service
- Carrier flow and pressure settings if verified
Describe the symptom, not the diagnosis
“Impact became weak after 20 minutes” is more useful than “bad accumulator” unless a technician has confirmed it. Note whether the issue is constant, intermittent, cold-only or heat-related.
Inspection, reseal or rebuild?
| Request | Typical reason |
|---|---|
| Inspection | Unknown history, performance change or pre-purchase check |
| Reseal | Confirmed seal leakage with serviceable major components |
| Rebuild | Broader wear, damage or performance loss requiring teardown and measurement |
| Tool and bushing service | Excess play, worn retaining system or damaged tool |
Only a qualified technician following the manufacturer’s procedures can determine the correct repair scope. Hydraulic Breakers Canada organizes requests and does not perform repairs directly.
