  • Page 5: Information

    NFORMATION Your Powerhead has been individually built with great emphasis on quality, strength and simplicity of design and with routine care will give many years of trouble free operation. The following instructions have been written to cover the use and maintenance of the machine. Care should be taken to ensure that you are referring to the correct section of your machine before carrying out any adjustments, or when ordering spare parts.
  • Page 6: Auger Selection

    With this information the correct auger can be selected to give increased penetration and speed. Soils are classified into 9 categories ranging from hard rock to loose silt. To determine which category will be being augured, a soil probe kit is available from Autoguide Equipment. Typical Probe Values...
  • Page 7: Aggressor Augers

    Once the soil classification is known the appropriate auger can be selected. Aggressor Augers Designed for drilling in loose soil and sand, Aggressor Augers come in 1.2m lengths, with an optional 1m extension. These suit Powerheads with up to a maximum rated output of 4500Nm. They use a 2” hexagon socket industry standard drive.
  • Page 8 If additional down force is require a Rockmaster hammer system is available from Autoguide. Autoguide have a wide range of different Augers available to dig holes ranging from 6” to 36” diameter in all soil classifications. These can be both rented and purchased.
  • Page 9: Powerhead Installation

    The Autoguide ‘Quick Hitch’ has been designed to enable ‘attachments’ for lorry-mounted cranes to be fitted or changed more easily utilising hydraulic power from the base unit.
  • Page 10 Assembly 2 comprises a fixed jaw D, a rotating claw E, a safety catch F, a safety pin G, a hydraulic cylinder H, locking/isolator valve I, and handle J. Note: The hitch may only be operated with the hydraulic/electrical (Faster) coupler disconnected...
  • Page 11: Mounting The Attachment

    Mounting the Attachment 1. The attachment must be positioned on a suitable flat surface and aligned such that its mounting plate is presented at a suitable angle to the crane boom. IMPORTANT: Do not at this stage connect the 3-way hydraulic coupler.
  • Page 12 4. Move the crane so that the fixed jaws D capture the attachment pin B. 5. Extend the crane boom, tipping the Powerhead forwards to position the second locking pin so that it can be secured by the claws.
  • Page 13 6. Operate the hydraulics to close the claws around the second shaft C, lifting the crane boom slightly to aid the movement of the claws. This process is not visible but a claw rotates to secure the second shaft. 7. Once the claws are fully engaged the safety catch will click into the locked position.
  • Page 14: Pre-Operation Check List

    9. Connect the hydraulic/electrical 3- way connector (‘Faster Coupler’) to supply power to the attachment. 10. Operate the cranes’ auxiliary circuit to test the Powerhead and ensure rotation. 11. Raise and lower the crane boom to make sure that there is no interference with the boom or swivel bracket.
  • Page 15: Powerhead Operation

    OWERHEAD PERATION Operating the Hydraulic Fold-Up Bracket Releasing the Powerhead 1. Position the crane boom angled towards the ground as shown. 2. Slowly lower the catcher arm through 90° by operating the hydraulic circuit.
  • Page 16 3. When the catcher arm is perpendicular to the bracket, the latch will automatically be released and the Powerhead will swing free. 4. Raise the catcher arm back into its home position using the hydraulic circuit 5. The Powerhead is now ready for use.
  • Page 17: Storing The Powerhead

    Storing the Powerhead 1. Position the crane boom angled away from the ground as shown so that the Powerhead hangs free. 2. Lower the catcher arm and allow it to rotate so that it makes contact with the Powerhead and rotates through 90° from starting position.
  • Page 18 latch plate at the base of the Powerhead, ensuring the pin has gone through all three layers of steel. 4. Once the latch is in place, raise the catcher up back into its home position to stowaway the Powerhead.
  • Page 19: Drilling Holes

    Drilling Holes 1. Attach the Auger to the Powerhead by sliding it over the hexagon bar output. 2. Insert the safety pin through the corresponding holes on both the Auger and Powerhead. 3. Carefully raise the Powerhead on the crane into position with the tip of the auger resting on the ground at the desired hole position.
  • Page 20 Rock Ripper augers will drill very hard material but the rate of penetration depends on the down force available. The Rockmaster hammer system available from Autoguide permits high penetration rates even with lorry mounted cranes.
  • Page 21: Dismounting The Attachment

    Dismounting the Attachment 1. Move the crane until the attachment is positioned on a suitable bracket or set on solid ground for stability. a. In the case of the pole grab (if fitted) this will usually be carried on a custom bracket so ensure it is firmly clamped in position.
  • Page 22 4. Next open the locking valve I and pressurise the claw operating cylinder (Auger DIG). 5. Remove the safety pin G and move the safety latch F to the UNLOCK position by pulling handle J. 6. Standing clear of the equipment, release the claw by pressurising the ram (Auger REVERSE).
