Stanley Black & Decker DH3500 User Manual

DH USER MANUAL   11  

Failure to remove the travel lock may result in damage 

to the equipment during operation.

Exposure  to  silica  dust  during  construction  activities 

can cause serious or fatal respiratory disease. Use 

adequate respiratory protection.

Ensure that the drop hammer is operated at a safe distance 

from other personnel and equipment. Be sure all guards are 

in place.

The drop hammer's weight is normally rested on the skids 

during use. However when moving about the drop hammer 

may represent a heavy load for the carrier. Therefore care 

must be taken when moving about a job-site or when loading 

or unloading from a transporter. The drop hammer should be 

carried as low as possible and special care taken when nego-

tiating uneven surfaces. Know the limits of your carrier. 

The drop hammer is intended for use only on level or near 

level surfaces. Do not operate the drop hammer on uneven 

or unlevel surfaces.

1. With the drop hammer laying on a flat level surface bolt the 

mounting plate to the mounting bracket. Ensure these bolts 

are torqued to the recommended value. 

2. Bring the carrier up to the drop hammer from the bottom or 

impact end. If you have a quick attachment systems maneuver 

the mount plate on the carrier until it engages with the adaption 

plate. Then actuate the slides or levers to lock the plates 

together. With a pin mount system; maneuver the carrier until 

the pinholes are aligned and slide in the connection pins. 

Ensure the pins are bolted in place. Grease these pivots as per 

the carrier manufactures recommendations. Never operate 

the drop hammer with a loose or ill-fitting attachment. 

Connect the hoses to supply oil to the port marked "PRESS" 

on the valve block.

3. Carefully raise the drop hammer to the vertical position 

keeping the base of the machine close to the ground 

throughout the lifting movement. Slowly move the Cyclone 

through the full extent of rotation and lift to ensure no part of 

the machine or any hydraulic hosing foul the carrier arms or 

cylinders. Ensure hoses are long enough so they do not pull 

tight in any part of the rotation and short enough to stay clear 

of the ground or operating area. 

4.  Once the drop hammer is securely mounted to the carrier 

the Traveling Lock may be removed. Be sure to store this 

plate safely for future use. 

During use, the traveling lock may be bolted outside the 

housing using the same hole as shown in Figure 2 below.
