Positioning Of The Pile - JUNTTAN PM 20L Operator's Manual

JUNTTAN
6.5.4

POSITIONING OF THE PILE

• Lift the pile slightly above ground.
• Move the machine and swing the machinery deck
as needed so that you get as close as possible to the
spot where the pile is to be driven.
• The final positioning of the pile should be done by
swinging the machinery deck and pushing the
horizontal slide out as told in the capacity table.
• Positioning the machine so that the movement of
the horizontal slide is minimized, because the
further it is extended, the more strain there is on
the construction.
• Lower the bottom end of the pile to the ground and
let the hammer rest on the pile.
• Open pile arms before start piling.
n WARNING
It is recommended not to travel distances on a site
with the pile lifted up because there may be soft
areas, humps, ditches, etc. may cause the machine to
loose its stability. Drive piles only when the machine
is on stable and firm ground. All functions must be
performed slowly with care and without sudden
movements.
