    4.2 Driving piles and extracting: Be familiar with the jobsite, sheet pile arrangement, try to reduce the the need to move the excavator as much as possible. Start the excavator, adjust the excavator and side grip vibro. Move the pile to the suitable piling position. （3）Clamping: After side rotating, vibrate a few seconds, let down pile close to the clamp bottom, operate jaw open and close.
  • Page 23 （4）Lifting the PIle: Close the clamps and lift the boom slowly until the height where an assistant can bind the pile. Fix a wire rope with pile. (Binding the pile is a safety measure to avoid dropping a pile if the clamps fail. It is important to always have a saftey rope no matter piling or extracting.
  • Page 24 （6）Extracting: Move the hammer to the extracting position, clamp the pile, start vibration, adjust the boom and arm, bucket cylinder, put the machine in the horizontal position. Driving the pile down for 10 minutes, then pull it up. When the pile reaches the binding rope position, stop vibration, fix the binding rope.
