Hydraulic power to drive the Talos 55 comes from a spare circuit on the excavator. A specialized control manifold, mounted on the excavator, allows the Talos 55 drive motor, rotary motor, piling clamps and side tilt, to be activated by a single excavator control lever (“joy stick”). The bucket circuit controls the fore and aft tilt via the existing excavator bucket cylinder.
General Description GENERAL DESCRIPTION C. SPECIFICATIONS 1. Constant improvement and engineering progress make it necessary that we reserve the right to make specification changes without notice. 2. Talos 55 VIBRATOR (w/ clamps) Type: Hydraulic Units (US) Units (SI) Eccentric Moment in-lb (5.5kg-M)
13. If there are any questions about the weights, specifications, or performance of the unit, contact ANTAEUS, or the excavator manufacturer, before handling or operating the equipment. 14. If the equipment is to be used for anything other than driving or extracting plumb piles, contact ANTAEUS before using the unit.
ANTAEUS TALOS 55 II. PREPARATION FOR OPERATION B. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (CONTINUED) 16. Insure that ground vibrations will not damage or collapse adjacent structures or excavations. 17. Remove all tools, parts and electrical cords before starting the unit. 18. When operating in an enclosed area, pipe excavator exhaust fumes outside. Continued breathing of exhaust fumes may be fatal.
REMEMBER, SAFETY IS EVERYONE’S BUSINESS. C. RIGGING OF VIBRATOR 1. EXCAVATOR PREPARATION WARNING: ALWAYS BE SURE THAT EXCAVATOR PARTS, AND/OR Talos 55, ARE FULLY SUPPORTED WHEN REMOVING MOUNTING PINS, TO PREVENT SUDDEN SHIFTS AND INJURY. a. Remove bucket pivot pin, bucket link pin and bucket..

.04”(1mm). c. If all fits are correct, connect Talos 55 yoke to the excavator stick. d. Move excavator to the Talos 55 location. Lift, and safely support. the Talos 55 in a vertical position. e. Connect the yoke to the Talos 55, using the excavator swivel pins.
To bleed the air from the hoses, loosen the two 0.38” ID hoses at the Talos 55 clamp cylinder (approx. one turn). With the excavator running at low RPM, move the AUX control joy stick slightly into the clamp close posi tion.
CLOSE. 3. OPEN – Causing the movable jaw, in the Talos 55 clamp, to move away from the fixed jaw, shall hereinafter be referred to as causing the clamp to OPEN.
Once desired initial set is achieved, the clamp can be re positioned onto the pile. 3. To move clamp, insure that the Talos 55 clamp is OPEN. Slide the Talos 55 clamp along the piling into the desired location. Be sure that the Talos 55 is parallel to the centerline of the pile before closing the clamp.
7. Insure that the Talos 55 clamp is fully OPEN. 8. Slide the Talos 55 clamp fully down onto the piling. If the pile top is damaged, DO NOT attempt to force, or drive, the clamp onto the pile. Discard or repair damaged piles.

REVERSE position. The clamp will open. Insure that the clamp is fully open before removing the vibrator from the pile. 17. Re-clamp the pile, and lift the Talos 55 until the pile pulls fully out of the ground. 18. Move the excavator to lay the pile down in the desired location.
ANTAEUS TALOS 55 MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS A. GENERAL Preventive maintenance includes normal servicing that will keep the vibratory driver and clamp in peak operating condition and prevent unnecessary trouble from developing. This servicing consists of periodic lubrication and inspection of the moving parts and accessories of the unit.
However, the unit should be inspected weekly to determine if additional servicing be required. 5. For extended inactive periods, servicing time intervals may be extended from those specified, but for actual time intervals, contact you local Antaeus dealer, especially during lengthy storage periods.
