EXISTING EQUIPMENT HYDRAULICS VS.

APPLICATION ATTACHING KITS
Using existing equipment hydraulic auxiliary systems
for operating hydraulic tools could cause problems for
the hydraulic tool and the hydraulic system if not set up
properly. Simply plugging into the hydraulic system without confirming pressure and flow to the hydraulic tool is
not a good practice. Spare spool valves, dipper circuits,
etc., are just a few examples of easily accessible hydraulic circuits which could prove to cause problems for
hydraulic tool usage.
TOOL BIT LUBRICATION

Grease the top 10 in. / 250 mm of the breaker tool bit before installing. During operation, the tool can be greased
through the grease fitting. Grease is required.
Make sure the tool bit is against the piston by placing the
tool bit against the ground and then putting down pressure on the breaker. See the illustrations below.

Stanley Hydraulic Tools has for many years developed

ATTACHING KITS for adapting to existing hydraulic systems of many popular carriers.
If your equipment does not contain an attaching kit, ask
your Stanley dealer for information, installation, and
pricing on a kit which matches your equipment needs.
TEST THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

1. Have your Stanley dealer test the carrier hydraulic
system to make sure the system is operating at the
manufacturers specified capacity and pressure ratings.
2. Be sure the fluid in the hydraulic system is filtered
to at least 10 micro-meters. (Particles found in fluid
should not exceed 10 micro-meters in size.)
3. Check the hydraulic filter. Replace the filter if dirty or
deteriorated.
Figure 1. Greasing the Top of the Tool Bit
WARNING
Greasing the tool bit without down pressure on the
breaker results in grease filling the space between
the piston and the tool bit. When the breaker is next
activated, the piston will strike the grease at a speed
which will pressurize the grease resulting in seal and
grease zerk failure.
4. Have your Stanley dealer test the circuit to which

the breaker will be connected to make sure that the
circuit is supplying the specified flow and pressure
rating for the breaker. See the Specifications section
of this manual.

POSITIONING THE CARRIER

SKIDSTEER LOADERS
With the breaker tool in place on the material to be
worked, position the skidsteer loader arms and the
breaker bracket so the breaker is almost vertical and the
front tires of the skidsteer are off of the ground.
Keep lowering the loader arms as the tool penetrates
the work material so the skidsteer weight stays on the
tool. The breaker is more efficient when adequate down
force is applied.
OPERATION
Apply down force.

Figure 5. Excavator
Figure 3. Skidsteer Loader
BACKHOES
worked, position the backhoe so the boom is halfway up
(45) and the dipper holds the breaker almost vertical.
Lower the loader bucket until the weight is off the front
tires.
POSITIONING THE BREAKER TOOL ON

THE WORK MATERIAL
Position the tool bit near the edge of the work material,
not in the center or far from the edge. Position the tool
618 inches (depending on the material) from the edge.
Breaking off smaller pieces of rock or concrete usually
accomplishes more than trying to break larger pieces.
Apply down pressure.

Figure 4. Backhoe
Apply down force to the boom/dipper until the rear of the
backhoe is raised off the ground. Rear tires and stabilizers should be off the ground so the total rear weight of
the backhoe is on the breaker tool. The breaker is more
efficient when adequate down force is applied.
EXCAVATORS
worked, position the excavator so the dipper is at approximately 45 and the breaker is almost vertical. The
tracks of the excavator should be in line with the boom
and the breaker.
Break near the edge.

Figure 6. Position the Tool Bit
On flat material or rock, the breaker should be vertical
or curled back slightly to direct the impact force downward and toward the backhoe. This directs the force
back toward the edge of the work material. If the tool
is positioned in the center of the work, or too far from
the edge, the energy will be absorbed into the material
without cracking it. Do not run the breaker longer than
1520 seconds. If breakout does not occur within this
time, move the breaker to another position.
MB256 User Manual 11
OPERATION
On flat material such as concrete runways, starting to
break in the middle of the material may cause vibrations
to be transmitted throughout the breaker and excavator
because the material has no place to break to. Always
try to start at a point which will permit the material to
break out.
MAINTAIN DOWN PRESSURE

Maintaining hard contact with the surface of the material
to be broken in addition to maintaining adequate down
force is very important. Always keep down pressure
or down force on the point of the breaker by lifting the
wheels, tracks, or stabilizers slightly above the ground.
This method takes the slack out of the bracket and
boom pivots, and reduces the impact on the pivots in
the boom.
The operator needs to be constantly aware of the amount
of down pressure being applied and be able to adjust it
if necessary. Not enough down pressure results in low
production and accelerates wear and tear on the equipment. Too much down pressure may cause the breaker
housing to violently crash into the broken material when
break-through occurs.
In any breaking job, the operator should make every effort to follow the breaker with down pressure as the
machine breaks farther into the material. The breaker
should be stopped as soon as break-through occurs or
if it is apparent that good solid blows are not occurring.
BREAKING
The operator should note the sound of the blow when
the breaker is running. With experience, the operator will
be able to tell the difference between a good solid blow
and a hollow sounding blow. A hollow blow means that
solid blows are not occurring and breaker should be repositioned.
Continuous tool penetration usually does not do much
good. If the material does not break with 36 inches of
tool penetration, it usually wont break with full penetration. The time used for additional penetration could be
better used to strike blows in another place.

Figure 7. Breaking
CAUTION
Continuous penetration in the same area for lengthy
periods will create excessive temperatures at the tip
of the tool bit resulting in loss of temper (hardness)
of the bit, mushrooming of the tip of the bit and may
lead to failure of the bit.
Use a scoring method of breaking when cracking the
material becomes difficult. This technique involves striking the rock or concrete at several places along a line
where you want the crack to occur. Most materials break
sooner when struck several places along a line than
when struck repeatedly in one location. On each line,
the breaker tool should be continually repositioned.
Practice determines the best length of time to stay in
one spot (1520 seconds) and how far to move the
breaker tool.
Many materials do not respond well to continued hammering in one place. The breaker tool should be repositioned on the work each time the tool penetrates but
does not crack the material.
Scoring with the breaker
Figure 8. Scoring with the Breaker
OPERATION
Breaker tool binding can cause erratic breaker operation and premature wear on the tool shank. Breaker tool
binding is caused by failure to direct the down force in
the direction of the tool bit.
Breaker tool bit binding

Figure 9. Breaker Tool Bit Binding
CAUTION
Do not pry with bit and breaker. The tool bit may
break causing injury.
Excessive side force cocks the tool in its bore, prevents
proper movement and causes premature tool shank and
bushing wear. Since the breaker tool bit must be pushed
up into the breaker to operate, a binding tool prevents
the breaker from operating correctly. Binding also causes
the tool bit and tool bushings to seize and often results
in breakage of one or more breaker components.
Always direct the down pressure force in a line toward
the point of tool contact with the work.
Moving rocks with the tool bit is another method of binding the tool bit. This practice should be avoided as it may
cause tool bit failure.
aware that the tool bit is able to drop down in the lower
body cavity, far enough so that the piston cannot strike it,
when the tool bit is not in contact with the work surface.
Blank Firing occurs whenever the breaker is operating
and the piston is not able to strike the tool bit solidly or
not strike the tool bit at all. Blank Firing accelerates
wear and tear on breaker and carrier components and
may result in failure of one or more components. Excessive Blank Firing may be considered equipment abuse
and may result in voiding warranties.
Break-through or difficult surface contact results in
Blank Firing when the material being broken fractures
and the tool bit is no longer in hard contact with the
material but is still pushed high enough in the lower body
cavity so that the piston can strike it. In this position, the
piston strikes the tool bit and the tool bit, in turn, is driven
against the retaining pins because it is not in sufficient
contact with the material to be broken. The energy is absorbed by the retaining pins, other breaker components,
and the carrier boom components. Blank Firing of this
type can be experienced in trench work where obtaining striking contact with the work surface is difficult or
the wrong tool bit is used, or in flat rock work where the
operator fails to stop operation of the breaker when slippage, fracturing or material break-through occurs.
Blank Firing as a result of operator error occurs when
the tool bit is not in contact with the work surface to be
broken and is allowed to drop down in the lower body
cavity so that the piston is not able to strike it. Instead,
the downward movement of the piston will be stopped
by an internal oil cushion located at the bottom of the
pistons stroke and the energy of the piston will be absorbed by breaker components and excavator boom
components. Blank Firing of this type can be experienced when the operator fails to stop operation of the
breaker when the material fractures or material breakthrough occurs, or during re-positioning of the breaker.
While Blank Firing cannot always be avoided, it can be
kept to a minimum by avoiding the above conditions as
much as possible.
Rebar reinforced concrete introduces the problem of

concrete chunks being held together by the rebar after
the concrete has been broken. The best approach to this
problem is to use a chisel point tool which permits cutting the rebar with the breaker. Another method is to periodically cut the rebar with an oxy-acetylene torch
BLANK FIRING
To understand Blank Firing, the operator needs to be
OPERATION
UNDERWATER USAGE
Underwater usage of the breaker will cause damage
to internal components. Even if the breaker is partially
submerged, water is introduced to an area between the
tool bit and piston. On the piston down cycle, the water
becomes compressed and damages adjacent components.
CAUTION
No part of the breaker may be submerged in
water. Underwater usage of the breaker will cause
internal damage to the breaker. Consult Stanley for
modifications and specific warranty coverage if you
have an underwater requirement.
GREASE THE BIT

Grease should be applied to the upper end of the breaker tool bit each time it is installed. Thereafter, the tool
should be greased at the fitting to reduce wear in the
lower body and bushings of the tool. See Greasing The
Tool Bit in the sections titled Pre-Operation Procedures.
IMPORTANT
UNDERWATER USE
Do not use underwater without supplying air to breaker
Do not
use underwater without supplying air to breaker.
Figure 10. Underwater Restrictions
No part of the Stanley MB256 Breaker may be

submerged in water without first modifying the
breaker for underwater use. Use of the breaker
underwater requires an underwater application kit
and an air compressor capable of producing 150 cfm
@ 75 psi. Underwater usage of the breaker without
the underwater kit and air compressor will cause
internal damage to the breaker. See the Accessories
section of this manual to order the underwater kit.
TROUBLESHOOTING
This section describes how to find and resolve problems
users may experience. If a situation occurs that is not
covered, call your Stanley Customer Service representative for assistance.
WARNING
Inspecting the tool or installing parts with the
hydraulic hoses connected can result in severe
personal injury or equipment damage. To prevent
accidental startup, disconnect the hydraulic power
before beginning any inspection or installation task.
PROBLEM
Breaker will not fire.
If symptoms of poor performance develop, the following

chart can be used as a guide to correct the problem.
When diagnosing faults in operation of the tool, always
check that the hydraulic power source is supplying the
correct hydraulic flow and pressure to the tool as listed
in the table below. Use a flowmeter known to be accurate. Check the flow with the hydraulic oil temperature at
least 80 F/27 C.
CAUSE
Low hydraulic oil level.
Fill reservoir.
No flow to breaker.
Have hydraulic circuit tested by

authorized dealer/distributor per
approved procedure.
Main relief set low.
Breaker runs slowly.
Internal damage.
Have unit serviced by an authorized

MAINTENANCE
DAILY MAINTENANCE CHECKS

Check for loose or missing fasteners. Tighten or replace as needed.
Inspect tool retaining pins and pockets for wear.
Check for hydraulic leaks at all fittings and hoses.

Replace any defective hoses.
Apply grease to the grease fitting in the lower body

each morning. Grease as needed throughout the
work day.
TOOL STOP AND LOWER BUSHING
18 inches
Inspect the tool stop and lower bushing for excessive

galling and metal pickup on the tool bit. Also check for
cracks. If cracks are present, the part must be replaced.
The extent of wear of the tool stop and lower bushings
and the tool bit can be checked by moving a NEW tool
bit back and forth and measuring the gap between the
tool bit and the lower bushing. If the gap is more than
.250 in./6 mm, the upper bushing, lower bushing and
tool bit should be replaced. A gap in excess of .250 in./6
mm will cause damage to the piston. Do not just replace
the tool bit or the lower bushing individually as this will
result in premature wear of the replaced component. It is
recommended to replace ALL worn components.
Figure 11. Measuring Tool Bit Gap
CHARGING THE ACCUMULATOR

The tools required to charge the breaker accumulators
are the 505232 charge hose assy and the 28257 accumulator tester which are used with other Stanley model
breakers. When charging the accumulators, make sure
the tools and charge valves are clean. Dirt can contaminate the charge valves and cause leakage.
1. Remove the protective plug from the accumulator
charge valve.
NOTE:
There are three accumulators on this breaker; the
main accumulator, the manifold accumulator and
the surge accumulator.
2. Hold the chuck end of the tester and turn the gauge
fully counter clockwise to ensure the plunger inside the
chuck is completely retracted.
3. Screw the tester into the breaker charge valve by
turning the chuck. Do not use the gauge for turning as
this will advance the plunger in the chuck. Tighten the
chuck lightly against the breaker charge valve.
4. Turn the gauge clockwise to advance the plunger
until a pressure is indicated on the gauge. Do not overtighten.
28257 Tester
5. If the pressure is correct, unscrew the gauge to retract

the plunger. Then, loosen and remove the tester from the
charge valve. If the pressure is not correct, proceed to step
6.
NOTE:
When disengaging the tester a "POP" of nitrogen is
normal.
6. Connect the charge hose assembly to the charging valve
on the tester. Make sure the valve on the charge hose assembly is closed. Open the valve on the nitrogen bottle.
7. Very slowly open the valve on the charge hose assembly
and slowly meter the nitrogen into the breaker charge valve
until the tester reads the correct charge pressure.
8. When the correct pressure is obtained, close the valve
on the charge hose assembly and on the nitrogen bottle.
Unscrew the gauge to retract the plunger. Loosen and
remove the tester from the charge valve. Before replacing
the protective plug, inspect the plug o-ring. If damaged or
deformed, replace the plug. Apply Loctite 242 to plug and
cap.

PROPER USE & CARE OF TOOL BITS

Tool bits are made and heat treated to specification.
Tool bits, however well made, are wear parts, and are
used in the most destructive applications. Even when
the hydraulic breaker is used properly, and the operator
is an experienced one, a tool bit may become damaged.
When a tool bit has been damaged, it is useful to determine the cause immediately in order to prevent the
damage from occurring again.
All Stanley tool bits are machined and hardened for
maximum performance. Care must be taken to maintain
the tools original condition for optimum productivity and
life expectancy. It is not uncommon for an operator who
is unfamiliar with using a hammer to break a point. This
is part of the learning experience.
Worn-out retainer pin(s) will cause uneven loading on

the pin(s) themselves, causing failure of the tool or retainer pin(s). This will also cause excessive wear to the
front bushing(s).
METAL-TO-METAL CONTACT
Extreme caution should be used to avoid scratches or
gouges on the surface of the tool. These areas create a
stress concentration Metal-to-Metal Contact point, thus
weakening the tool.
Another form of metal-to-metal contact is galling, which
usually occurs from the lack of lubrication. Special care
should be taken to keep the tool shank lubricated every
two (2) to three (3) hours.
BLANK FIRING OR FREE RUNNING
Steel failures that were caused by surface damage take

two main forms. The simplest form is caused by deep
scratches on working steel surface. The broken surface
has a shell pattern around the starting point of failure,
similar to the one in the fatigue failure. The other parts of
the broken surface are brittle. These failures work slowly
through the steel until it suddenly parts completely.
This occurs when the tool is not in proper contact with

the work, thus causing the energy produced by the hammer to be concentrated on the tool retainer(s) and the
retainer slot(s) on the tool itself. Caution should be used
to prevent the hammer from sliding off slanted surfaces
or when breaking through thin material.
The second form of failure caused by surface damage

occurs when there are deep scratches on working steel
surface and there was also excessive bending stress.
The broken surface also shows the shell pattern, but the
other parts of the broken surface are brittle and usually
have a lip like that in a stress failure.
Listed below are several methods to determine tool failure and will quickly aid in warranty determination.
TOOL FAILURE NOT COVERED

UNDER WARRANTY
The illustration below is typical of the kind of breakage

that occurs from excessive blank firing.
Figure 18. Excessive Blank Firing Breakage
WORN-OUT FRONT BUSHING(S) OR

RETAINER PIN(S)
Worn-out front bushing(s) will cause the tool to become
misaligned inside the hammer. This misalignment will
cause uneven contact between the piston and tool, thus
causing stress to concentrate on one particular area of
the tool. This can also cause the tool to bind inside the
hammer. Call your dealer for acceptable wear allowances.
Figure 19. Metal-to-Metal Contact Examples

In its most extreme forms, the combination of surface
damage and severe bending can quickly break even the
best working steels.
The illustrations below show examples of severe stress
breaks.
Figure 20. Severe Stress Breaks
PRYING
This is the most common cause of tool failure. Even
when there is no surface damage, the stress from prying can easily break a working steel. This kind of failure
generally results from any type of side pressure such as
an incorrect breaking angle or from using the tool to reposition material. The tool should not be used as a pivot
point when repositioning the carrier. The power generated by the carrier will far exceed the strength of the tool.
As the next illustration shows, fatigue failures take many

forms, but they all exhibit similar features. Generally, the
broken surface is brittle and has a lip like that in the
bending failure, even though, in some cases, the lip has
been broken.
Figure 23. Fatigue Failures
CORROSION
Tools should be greased and stored out of the weather.
Corrosion tends to accelerate the fatigue fractures of the
tool.
MUSHROOMING
Driving the tool into a hard material for a long period of
time generates an intense heat, indicated by a blue tone
just above the point. This will soften the steel and cause
the point to fold over or mushroom the end of the tool.
Avoid hammering in one location for too long. If material
does not break after a short period (approximately 15 to
20 seconds), reposition the tool.
Figure 21. Prying Damage Example

Similar failures can also occur when the steel is used
with extreme down pressure, and the steel repeatedly slips off the work at an angle, or the material, itself
moves from under the working steel.
Figure 24. Mushrooming

If the overheated steel is suddenly cooled by being
dipped in standing water, for example, the metal will
harden and become brittle. These are some examples
of failure caused by temper changes occurring on the
job.
Figure 22. Extreme Down Pressure Breakage

TOOL FAILURE COVERED UNDER
WARRANTY
INTERNAL MATERIAL FLAW
This failure occurs when a foreign material is rolled into
the steel during the manufacturing process, causing an
imperfection in the internal material flaw grain. The result is an inherent weakness in the tool shank and eventual breakage.
The fatigue failure is started by the defects within the tool
bit. The broken surface exhibits a shell pattern around
the starting point of failure, like that in the fatigue failure.
The other parts of the broken surface are brittle.
This is the only kind of tool bit failure that is always
covered under warranty.
Look for surface cracks, galling, or gouge marks. Breaks

that start as surface damage have a sea shell pattern,
with the damaged spot at the center. A large sea shell
indicates a slow growing break; a small one indicates
one compounded by side stress.
Stress failures start small, and spread into the center
of the steel. In a stress failure, the coarser the grain,
the greater the stress was, and the more rapid was the
failure.
Failures in this area are usually the result

of blank firing, worn bushing(s), worn retainer pin(s) or the lack of lubrication.
of worn retainer pin(s) or blank firing.

of prying, metal-to-metal contact or corrosion. Prying failures often exhibit a shelllike formation near the edge of the steel
diameter where the break began, and a
tail opposite that where the remaining
steel bent and tore.
Figure 25. Internal Material Flaw

As a rule, working steel failures can be diagnosed by
looking at the break itself, and at the place on the steel
where the break occurred. Discoloration, like rainbow
effects or blue bands, is the result of extreme heat.

of heat build-up, mushrooming, or improper contact with the work.
Figure 26. Diagram of Tool Bit Failures

Stanley Breakers are available with several different types of tool bits. The most common are the moil, chisel and
the blunt. Each of these working steels has its own purpose as described below:
To obtain the maximum production from the breaker, it is important to select the proper working steel. Consult your
Stanley representative for assistance in selecting the proper working steel for your application.
MOIL
This is by far the most popular
working steel. It is a general
purpose point used to break
anything from concrete to hard
rock. Its pencil-type point is
used to fracture the material.
The tool is best where penetration speed is important.
CHISEL
This style of point is used generally used for trench work,
where a controlled break is required, and for rock breaking
on materials with a definite line
of cleavage. A chisel bit also
works well in softer concretes
where a moil might penetrate
quickly, but not cause a fracture line.
BLUNT
This flat type of point is used to
break softer material such as
coal or shale. A moil or chisel
will tend to punch holes in this
type of material, where a flat
blunt will shatter the material.
It is also useful when breaking irregularly shaped material
where its broad tip makes it
easier to position.
FLOW TEST PROCEDURES

The correct performance of this procedure will verify if
the auxiliary circuit of the carrier is adequate to properly
operate a Stanley attachment.
This procedure is generic in form. It is the end users
responsibility to ensure that this procedure will work with
his specific type of equipment.
If an adequate flow meter is not available contact your
Stanley Hydraulic Distributor for assistance.
5. Close the restrictor valve on the flow meter until the

attachment relief starts to crack or open. The relief
valve opens when the flow rate (GPM), indicated on
the flow meter begins to decline rapidly. Locate the
tools operating system relief pressure in the specification section in the manual. Adjust attachment relief to specification.
NOTE:
1. With the auxiliary circuit (or kit) completely installed

connect the flow meter between the tool inlet and
outlet hoses.
The relief valve pressure must be greater than the

operating pressure of the attachment and three
times the back-pressure. Never use the relief valve
to control the flow rate in the circuit. Cracking pressure means the loss of 4 or more GPM.
NOTE:
Record the relief cracking pressure
Always use the hoses that are supplied for the attachment and make sure the machine hydraulic
oil is between 90 to 120 F. This will assure correct
readings and adjustments.
Example:
TEST PROCEDURE
2. With the machine setting at the mode thats going to

be used to operate the attachment record the GPM
_____.
Locate the correct flow for the attachment in the
manual under the specification section. Adjust the
machine to the correct GPM.
NOTE:
If possible, always set the machine to the highest
GPM output mode. This will prevent the operator
from over flowing the attachments.
3. Once the correct GPM flow is achieved fully open
the restrictor on the flow meter.
4. With the machine in the attachment mode set in
step 2 record the back-pressure. At this point the
pressure reading on the pressure gauge is the backpressure in the circuit. This pressure must not exceed 200 psi/13.5 bar.
Excessive back-pressure will slow the attachments
operation and lead to premature seal failures and
over heating.
Record the back-pressure
psi.
psi.
Operation pressure of a breaker is 2700 psi. Back-pressure is 150 psi. A good rule to follow when setting the
relief, multiply the back pressure by 3 then add this number to the operation pressure of the attachment.
Operating Pressure
Back-pressure
Operating pressure of the tool
2700 psi
450 psi
3150 psi
The relief valve setting must be greater than the estimated operating pressure of the tool. If the setting is lower,
damage to the circuit may occur. Excess heat will be
generated in the circuit which will damage the attachment and carrier.
FLOW TEST PROCEDURES

HEAT LOAD TEST
TROUBLESHOOTING
With the installation kit properly installed and adjusted

per the above procedure, conduct the heat load test as
follows.
If adequate pump flow is available from the carrier

pump(s) but is not getting to the attachment, consult
your service representative and review the following:
1. Connect the flow meter between the tool inlet and

outlet hoses.
1. Attachment valve(s) are not actuating. Review all

electrical connections that are part of the attachment kit.
2. With the carrier set in the attachment mode, restrict the flow meter until a pressure of 1000 psi
is achieved. This pressure must be maintained
throughout the heat test.
NOTE:
Closing of the restrictor may be required as the temperature increases.
Monitor the oil temperature from the flow meter until
no change is noted. Record the time required for oil to
stabilize. Record the surrounding temperature (ambient temperature). Record the time required to stabilize

minutes.
Record the stabilized oil temperature
Record the ambient temperature
2. Ensure proper voltage to the valve(s).

3. Ensure the REG port of the valve is not blocked.
4. Check to make sure the carriers main relief is set
to the manufacturers recommendation and that this
value is equal or greater than the attachment circuit
relief.
5. If the valve will not turn off, check the drain (tank)
line of the valve to ensure that the pressure is 50
psi or less.
F.

The heat rise is calculated as the stabilized temperature minus the ambient temperature.
Example:
Stabilized Temperature

The normal operating temperature range of this circuit

will be the typical ambient temperature range for the
geographical area plus the heat rise calculated above.
Ensure that the operating temperature range is lower
than 180 for optimum operation of the attachment.
