    Do not use hoses as a tow line to tug the power unit! If a hose fails at the hydraulic couplers then it is a result of "hose tugging by the pile crew". 11. Avoid kinks in the hoses. Kinks will cut the hose safety factor by 50 percent. 12. Always wear eye and ear protection.

  • Page 11: Model 50 Vibro

    The Model 50 operates in a frequency range of 0 to 1800 cycles per minute depending on the hydraulic flow and on the hydraulic motors fitted to the gear train. The Model 50 is especially suited for driving or extracting piles that are near buildings or other structures. This is because the Model 50 vibrates at higher frequencies and thus is less damaging to surrounding soils.
  • Page 12 I-3A. The Suppressor Housing The suppressor housing of the Model 50 APE Vibrator is the top part of the vibro that attaches to the crane line. It is designed to absorb the vibration generated from the vibrator gearbox. Three different types of suppressors can be mounted to the APE Model 50 vibro.
  • Page 13 The counterweight is filled, and therefore, enhanced with lead to increase eccentric moment. This design is unique to the industry and was developed by the engineers of APE to solve a number of problems associated with other types of vibrator machines. Both the eccentric and the drive gear have been helically cut to provide high speed operation with reduced noise and wear.
  • Page 14 I. GENERAL INFORMATION (Continued...) I-3C. The Clamp Attachment The APE 50 comes with a standard sheet pile clamp attachment. The clamp contains two gripping jaws. One is "fixed" and one is "moveable." A large hydraulic cylinder operates the moveable jaw with up to 250 tons of clamping force depending on clamp pump relief pressure.

  • Page 28: Iv. Preparation And Operation

    The Vibro is fitted with a standard sheet clamp at the factory. However, several types of clamps are used on APE vibros to fit many different types of piles. A step by step procedure is provided as follows: 1.) Clean all drilled and tapped threads on the bottom surface of the gearbox. Use a 1 1/2"UNC tap to clean any rusted threads and blow out any remaining fragments with compressed air.
