NOTE:
When choosing hydraulic uid, the expected oil temperature extremes that will be experienced in service determine the
most suitable temperature viscosity characteristics. Hydraulic uids with a viscosity index over 140 will meet the requirements
The recommended hose size is .500 inch/12 mm I.D. up
to 50 ft/15 m long and .625 inch/16 mm I.D. minimum up
to 100 ft/30 m.
PRE-OPERATION PROCEDURES
CHECK POWER SOURCE
1. Using a calibrated owmeter and pressure gauge,
check that the hydraulic power source develops a
ow of 7-9 gpm/26-34 lpm at 1500-2000 psi/105-
140 bar.
2. Make certain the hydraulic power source is equipped
with a relief valve set to open at 2100-2250 psi/145155 bar maximum.
INSTALL DRILL STEEL & ROCK BIT
Use standard 4-1/4 inch shank × 1 inch hex drill steel
for SK58110, SK58120 and SK58310 models and 4-1/4
inch shank × 7/8 inch hex drill steel for the SK58130
model.
Drill steels are available in a variety of lengths. Start
with a short length so that the tool may be operated at a
normal standing position. The tool handles should never
exceed chest height during operation.
1. Thread a rock bit onto the drill steel.
2. Rotate the latch (61) out and up.
3. Slide the drill steel into the tool.
4. Rotate the latch down being careful not to pinch your
ngers. When correctly installed, the collar on the
drill steel should be above the bottom of the latch.
CONNECT HOSES
1. Wipe all hose couplers with a clean, lint-free cloth
before making connections.
2. Connect the hoses from the hydraulic power source
to the tool ttings or quick disconnects. It is a good
practice to connect return hoses rst and discon-
nect them last to minimize or avoid trapped pressure
within the tool.
3. Observe ow indicators stamped on hose couplers
to ensure that uid ow is in the proper direction.
The female coupler on the tool hose is the inlet coupler.
4. Move the hydraulic circuit control valve to the ON
position to operate the tool.
NOTE:
If uncoupled hoses are left in the sun, pressure in-
crease within the hoses may make them difcult to
connect. When possible, connect the free ends of
the hoses together.
5. Connect the hose from the air supply to the hose on
the tool.
The air supply must be minimum 30 cfm at 120
psi. Supplying less than these specications may
result in inadequate extraction of rock cuttings;
cause cuttings to migrate up the drill steel and
into the tool and result in tool damage; diminish
drilling time; and cause premature wear of the
drill bit.
OPERATION PROCEDURES
1. Observe all safety precautions.
2. Install the appropriate tool bit for the job.
3. Start the hydraulic supply and turn the circuit control
valve to the ON position.
4. Open the air valve on the tool just enough to permit
a small amount of air ow from the tool bit.
NOTE:
Air ow must be continuous during drilling to avoid
clogging of the air passages and/or back-ushing of
waste products into the drill.
5. Place the bit rmly on the surface to be drilled.
6. Open the hydraulic valve lever slightly to start the
tool at a slow speed. Adequate down pressure is
very important.
7. Ensure the rock bit is rotating at a moderate speed
(not too fast, not too slow). When starting the hole,
it is best to start at a slow impact and rotation speed
until the rock bit has carved out a depression in the
material being drilled. If the rock bit is not rotating
open the hydraulic valve lever further. If the rock bit
still does not rotate adjust the motor control knob
until rotation is achieved.
10 ► SK58 User Manual
Page 11
OPERATION
8. After the rock bit has carved out a depression in the
material being drilled, open the hydraulic valve lever fully. Readjust the motor control knob to obtain
a good drilling speed. Adjust the air valve to ensure
the cuttings are being extracted from the drill hole.
9. When the bottom of the tool comes within 6 inches
of the drill hole, it is time to either add another section of drill steel or replace the existing drill steel with
a longer section. Close the hydraulic valve lever but
leave the air valve “ON” and then lift the tool with
drill steel and rock bit out of the hole. Leaving the
air valve “ON” helps prevent cuttings from falling
around the bit while the bit is lifted from the hole.
10. When the tool, drill steel and bit have been removed
from the drill hole, turn the valve lever “OFF” and
turn the hydraulic supply circuit control valve “OFF”
before changing the drill steel or rock bit.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
If the breaker is to be used during cold weather, preheat
the hydraulic uid at low engine speed. When using the
normally recommended uid, uid temperature should
be at or above 50 °F/10 °C (400 ssu/82 centistokes) before use.
Damage to the hydraulic system or breaker can result
from use with uid that is too viscous or thick.

NOTICE
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 couples 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 cir-
cuit ow. This can cause damage to internal seals.
• Always replace hoses, couplings and other parts
with replacement parts recommended by Stanley
Hydraulic Tools. Supply hoses must have a minimum working pressure rating of 2500 psi/172 bar.
• Do not exceed the rated ow (see Specications in
this manual for correct ow rate and model number).
Rapid failure of the internal seals may result.
• Always keep critical tool markings, such as warning
stickers and tags legible.
• Keep tool bit sharp for maximum drilling performance. Make sure that tool bits are not chipped or
rounded on the striking end.
• Never operate a hammer drill without a tool bit or
without holding it against the work surface.
• Tool repair should be performed by experienced
personnel only.
• Make certain that the recommended relief valves
are installed in the pressure side of the system.
• Do not use the tool for applications for which it was
not intended.

3. Holding the chuck end of Accumulator Tester (P/N
02835) turn the gauge fully counterclockwise to ensure that the stem inside the chuck is completely
retracted.
4. Thread the tester onto the accumulator charging valve. Do not advance the gauge-end into the
chuck-end. Turn as a unit. Seat the chuck on the
accumulator charging valve and hand tighten only.
5. Advance the valve stem of the tester by turning the
gauge-end clockwise until a pressure is read on the
gauge (charge pressure should be 600-700 psi/4248 bar).
6. If pressure is OK unscrew the gauge-end from the
chuck to retract the stem, then unscrew the entire
tester assembly from the accumulator charging
valve. If pressure is low, charge the accumulator as
described in the following procedure.
7. Tighten the 5/8-inch hex locking nut on the tool
charging valve. Be careful not to overtighten. Install
the protective cap and valve cap assembly.
ACCUMULATOR CHARGING
1. Perform steps 1 through 4 of the accumulator testing procedure above.
2. Connect the chuck of the charging assembly to the
charging valve on the accumulator tester or, if preferred, remove the tester from the charging valve
and connect the charging assembly chuck directly
to the charging valve.
3. Adjust the regulator to the charging pressure of 600
psi/42 bar.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to set the gauge at 650-700
psi/45-48 bar to overcome any pressure drop
through the charging system.
4. Open the valve on the charging assembly hose.
5. When the accumulator is fully charged close the
valve on the charging assembly hose and remove
the charging assembly chuck from the accumulator
tester or tool charging valve.
6. If the accumulator tester has been used, be sure to

UNDERWATER TOOLS DEPTH GUIDELINE
UNDERWATER MODELS ONLY
CAUTION
DO NOT USE HYDRAULIC TOOLS UNDER-
WATER THAT ARE 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
type of tool and method of operation.
The types of tools are percussive and rotational,
each with different characteristics allowing for different depth operation. 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 capable of
deeper depths.

The methods are broken into diver operated or
remote operated vehicle (ROV). ROV's can reach
lower depths and with an on-board 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.
