Page 13: Operation
Never open the clamp before the vibratory hammer has come to a complete stand still. Make sure , the pile or casing can not drop from the clamp when the clamp is opened. PILECO, Inc.•office (936)494-4200•1-800-409-0018•fax (936)494-4517 www.Pileco.com•491 Conroe Park W. Dr.•Conroe, TX 77303... -
Page 14: Emergency Stop
The frequency can be varied by changing engine speed. Engine speed is changed with the engine throttle or rpm +/- switch on the dashboard or on the remote control. 3.6 Clamps Please refer to your clamp manual for operating instructions.

Page 15: Special Operations
4.1 Operating instructions for Pileco-RF vibratory hammers Pileco Resonance Free vibratory hammers allow starting up and stopping the vibratory hammer without vibra- tion. This is achieved by shifting the upper row eccentrics with respect to the lower row of eccentrics. The total eccentric moment of the hammer can be varied from 0 -100%. -
Page 16: Operating At Low Temperatures
•One should check the oil viscosity also at higher temperatures as the hammer warms up rapidly at full speed. 4.3 Operating under water (up to 10 m depth) It is recommended to contact Pileco for under water operation. Pay attention to the following when operating under water with the vibratory hammer: •Check the seals and gaskets (O-rings, gasket between vibration case and vibration case adapter). -
Page 17: Operating In Deep Water (> 10M Deep)
Check lubrication oil regularly during and in any case after completion on water content. Water may also enter the case as condensate from non-dried compressed air. 4.4 Operating in deep water (> 10m deep) Contact Pileco for preparation for deep water operation. An air regulating system must be installed for deep water operation. Air regulation system Before operating, read and check the vibratory hammer according to chapter 5 of this manual. - Page 18 After operating under water check the oil of the vibration gearbox. (refer to chapter 5) Check the membrane of the air regulating valve every 6 months by removing the screws of the cover. When it’s damaged, replace it.

5.7 Recommended liquids. •Replace the forced lubrication pump on the vibration case. •Have the hydraulic system inspected by Pileco (authorized) service personnel. C A U T I O N Any contamination of the hydraulic fluid will drastically shorten the life of the high-pressure hydraulic system. -
Page 21: Lubrication Intervals (Operating Hours Of The Hammer)
However, the unit shall be thoroughly inspected weekly to determine what additional servicing, if any, might be required. •During stand-by or inactive periods, the service intervals may be extended twice from those specified. 5.7 PILECO, Inc.•office (936)494-4200•1-800-409-0018•fax (936)494-4517 www.Pileco.com•491 Conroe Park W.

If it is not possible to fill up the gear case with oil, the hammer should be run at least every 3 to 4 weeks. PILECO, Inc.•office (936)494-4200•1-800-409-0018•fax (936)494-4517 www.Pileco.com•491 Conroe Park W. Dr.•Conroe, TX 77303... -
Page 23: Hydraulic Oil
Biodegradable hydraulic oil It is allowed to use biodegradable oil in combination with Pileco equipment, but only if the biodegradable oil is an ester-type oil with the same specifications as the mineral oil used by Pileco. Operating the hammer with other types of biodegradable oil is not allowed. -

•Long driving times at high operating pressure. •Rebound In these cases, the temperature in the vibration case may rise to 60°C - 70°C. Please contact Pileco with actual vibration case temperature for recommendations on lubrication oil and special instructions. 5.12 Maintenance of hydraulic circuit elements NOTE: Check all lines, hoses and connections regularly for leaks and obvious damage. -
