How to disable MERJE JOIN CARTESIAN in Oracle9i?

Question

Hello,
I have an execution plan using CBO optimizer in a SQL joins with multiple operations. The tables are properly related to each other, so it s not justified by the Cartesian product joins Union problems. Tables have updated statistics. I tried to use hints to force a hash join for but can not. I suspect that the Cartesian product is performed by applying the rules of transitivity level optimizer.
Any know how to disable this transformation for the use sql Hash Joins?
The BD version is 9.2.0.8
The execution plan is:

Hello,
The sql is:
select  *
from  ntjdatsba.dpolper peri,
  (SELECT id_dpolizas_fk, MAX(b.dpolcobe_scon) dpolcobe_scon , MAX(b.dpolpeco_scon) dpolpeco_scon, MAX(b.dpolper_scon) dpolper_scon
           FROM ntjdatsba.dpolscon b
            WHERE
            fechemis <= TRUNC(SYSDATE)
      GROUP BY id_dpolizas_fk
      ) scon,
  ntjdatsba.dpolizas pol,
  ntjdatsba.dpersona pers,
  ntjdatsba.dpolpeco peco,
  ntjdatsba.dpolcobe cobe
  WHERE  pol.id_dpolizas = scon.id_dpolizas_fk
     AND pol.estado = 'V'
     AND cobe.id_dpolscon_fk = scon.dpolcobe_scon
    AND cobe.garancod = 'AC01'
    AND peco.id_dpolscon_fk = scon.dpolpeco_scon
    AND peco.relacion IN ('CHAB', 'COCA')
     AND peco.id_dpersona_fk = pers.id_dpersona
     AND peri.id_dpolscon_fk = scon.dpolper_scon
     AND peri.poliefec <= TRUNC (SYSDATE); And the execution plan (I hope know is better formated).
