OPERATION

PREPARATION PROCEDURES
The tool, as shipped, has no special unpacking or assembly requirements prior to usage. The inspection tool was not damaged in shipping and does not contain packing debris is all that is required.
CHECK HYDRAULIC POWER SOURCE

1. Using a calibrated flowmeter and pressure gauge, check that the hydraulic power source develops 7–9 GPM/26–34 LPM at 1000–2000 psi/70–140 bar for the 8 GPM models. Proper flow and pressure proper tool speed.
2. Make certain the hydraulic power source is equipped with a relief valve set to open at 2100–2250 bar minimum.
3. Check that the hydraulic circuit matches the tool for open-center (OC) operation.

CHECK TOOL

1. Make sure all tool accessories are correctly installed. Failure to install tool accessories properly damages the tool or personal injury.
2. There should be no signs of leaks.
3. The tool should be clean, with all fittings and fasteners tight.

CHECK TRIGGER MECHANISM

1. Check that the trigger operates smoothly and is free to travel between the “ON” and “OFF” positions.

INSTALL TOOL BIT – FIG. 2

1. Remove the solid retainer. a. Grasp the loop of the retainer spring and pull it from the retainer.
   b. Slip the solid retainer off the chuck end.

2. Insert the tool bit into the solid retainer. The hex shank must be toward the chuck end. Align the oval collar with the oval slot in the chuck end of the solid retainer.

3. Insert the tool hex shank into the chuck end to engage the hex liner. Index the shank in the hex liner to get the desired bit orientation to the chipper.
   

4. Slide the solid retainer on the chuck end, aligning the retainer spring slot with the groove.

5. Install the retainer spring.
   Note: Never use the tool if the bit is not locked in the tool retainer.

6.  Connect the hoses to the tool and the hydraulic power source.
   Note: The pressure increase in uncoupled hoses left in the sun may result in making them difficult to connect. When possible, connect the free ends of operating hoses together.|

OPERATING PROCEDURES – FIG. 3

1. Observe all safety precautions.
2. Move the hydraulic circuit control valve to the “ON” position.
3.  Place the tool bit firmly on the surface to be broken, at a 90° angle. Apply down pressure.
4. Squeeze the trigger to start the chipping hammer. Adequate down pressure is very important. Hold the tool correctly and be ready to counteract normal or sudden movements. Have both hands available.
   Note: Partially depressing the trigger allows the tool to operate at a slow speed, making it easy to start the tool bit into the surface to be broken.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION
If the tool is to be used during cold weather, preheat the hydraulic fluid at low engine speed. When using the normally recommended fluids, the fluid temperature should be at or above 50 °F/10 °C (400 ssu/82 centistokes) before use.
STORAGE

1. Disconnect the tool from the hydraulic power source.
2. Remove the tool bit and spray the chuck area with WD40 inside and out.
3. Wipe clean and store in a clean, dry place.

UNDERWATER MODEL PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
After each use, the movable portions of the tool that were exposed to water should be flushed with water displacing oil such as WD40. Remove any remaining water and debris as follows:

1. Turn the tool upside down (without the tool bit) and spray oil through the inside of the chuck and retainer including down inside the retainer spring, also spray any of the exposed piston areas to displace any remaining water.
2.  Spray oil into the On/Off valve trigger slot area.
3. Dip or spray the entire tool.
4. Cycle the tool hydraulically several times before storing away.

TOOL PROTECTION & CARE

In addition to the Safety Precautions found in this manual, observe the following for equipment protection and care.

• Make sure all couplers are wiped clean before connection.
• The hydraulic circuit control valve must be in the “OFF” position when coupling or uncoupling hydraulic tools. Failure to do so may result in damage to the quick couplers and cause overheating of the hydraulic system.
• Always store the tool in a clean dry space, safe from damage or pilferage.
• Make sure the circuit PRESSURE hose (with male quick disconnect) is connected to the “IN” port. The circuit RETURN hose (with female quick disconnect) is connected to the opposite port. Do not reverse circuit flow. This can cause damage to internal seals.
• Always replace hoses, couplings, and other parts with replacement parts recommended by STANLEY. Supply hoses must have a minimum working pressure rating of 2500 psi/172 bar.
• Do not exceed the rated flow and pressure. Refer to “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 17 for correct flow and pressure rate. Rapid failure of the internal seals may result.
• Always keep critical tool markings, such as warning stickers and tags, legible.
• Do not force a small tool to do the job of a large tool.
• Keep tool bits sharp for maximum breaker performance. Make sure that tool bits are not chipped or rounded on the striking end.
• Never operate a chipper without a tool bit or without holding it against the work surface. This puts excessive strain on the retainer.
• Tool repair should be performed by experienced personnel only.
• Make certain that the recommended relief valves are installed on the pressure side of the system.
• Do not use the tool for applications for which it was not intended.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If symptoms of poor performance develop, the following chart can be used as a guide to correct the problem. When diagnosing faults in the operation of the tool, always make sure the hydraulic power source is supplying the correct hydraulic flow and pressure as listed in the table. Use a flowmeter known to be accurate. Check the flow with the hydraulic fluid temperature of at least 80 °F/27 °C.

PROBLEM

| CAUSE|

SOLUTION

---|---|---
The tool does not run.| The power unit not functioning.| Check power unit for proper flow and pressure 7–9 GPM/26–34 LPM, 2000 psi/140 bar for 8 GPM model. Proper flow and pressure maintain proper tool speed.
Couplers or hoses are blocked.| Remove restriction.

CH15 PARTS ILLUSTRATION

Note: If you have a 5-GPM CH15 tool, the 3 parts that are required to make it a 5-GPM tool are no longer available as of July 2015. If you need to replace any one of items 29, 31, or 32 you must purchase all 3 items to convert the tool to an 8-GPM tool, the tool will still work at 5-GPM if needed.

UNDERWATER TOOLS DEPTH GUIDELINE

UNDERWATER MODELS ONLY
Do not use hydraulic tools underwater that is not designated as an “underwater” model, or this will result in damage to the tool.
For underwater hydraulic tools, the applications are broken down into four quadrants depending on the type of tool and method of operation.
The types of tools are percussive and rotational, each with different characteristics allowing for different depth operations. With percussive tools, the nitrogen accumulator PSI must counter the increase in ambient pressure found at lower depths. Since there is a maximum PSI for percussive tools they are limited to certain depths. Rotational tools do not have accumulators and thus are capable of deeper depths.
The methods are broken into the diver-operated or remote-operated vehicle (ROV). ROVs can reach lower depths and with an onboard hydraulic power source that is depth compensated, can operate hydraulic tools at depths of thousands of feet. ROV operation is still limited to the tool, for example, a percussive tool has the same depth limitation whether ROV or diver operated.

OPERATION OVERVIEW

| PERCUSSIVE| ROTATIONAL
---|---|---
DIVER| Tools: Breakers, Hammer Drills and Chipping Hammers
Max Depth: 500’ –  limitations due to accumulator PSI max (increase 40 PSI for every 100’)| Tools: Grinders, Saws,
Chain Saws Max Depth: 1000’ – Reference hose sizing guide below
ROB| Tools: Breakers, Hammer Drills and Chipping Hammers
Max Depth: 500’ – limitations due to accumulator PSI max (increase 40 PSI for every 100’)| Tools: Grinders, Saws, Chain Saws
Max Depth: 1000’ – Reference hose sizing guide below
