Hydraulic hammer

[lmcgann]

Is it normal for when using my hydraulic hammer on my mini excavator, for the fitting to vibrate loose? I have a promove 200 hammer. And a Kubota Kx040-4 excavator. Any help would be appreciated.

Is the hammer vibration causing the hose to pulsate or twist in a way that would be trying to loosen the fitting?

Not noticing any twisting, just after about 15 to 30 minutes, I see hydraulic fluid leaking out and have to retighten the fittings. Just making sure I'm not doing anything wrong.

Try removing fittings and cleaning and using a sealer (loctite) on threads....
