TM5-3810-307-10
WARNING
If, during relocation of the crane while rigged with the Pile Driver
System, traversing rough or unstable terrain cannot be avoided, use
extreme caution and constantly monitor crane stability.
WARNING
Ensure that the crane operator is aware that attaching (and
removing) the hammer line (main hoist) to the impact hammer will be
performed while under a suspended load (impact hammer).
Have the crane operator turn the CRANE FUNCTION POWER
switch to the OFF position to remove power from the crane functions
controlled by the armrest joysticks.
This prevents accidental
operation of the controlled crane functions caused by bumping the
joysticks.
WARNING
Ensure the pressure has been relieved on the remote throttle prior
to disconnecting the remote throttle hydraulic line.
WARNING
Never allow personnel between the pile and the lead tower when
hoisting or setting any pile.
WARNING
If the wooden pile is bowed, set the pile with the bow facing the
lead tower.
WARNING
Check the pressure at the two spotter support pins securing the
spotter base in the mounting lugs on the spotter mounting
brackets when removing the spotter from the crane. The pins
must move easily before trying to remove them.
CAUTION
The following general safety precautions should be observed
during setup and operation:
Safe pile driving piles is a three-person operation. Always use
two ground assistants and one crane operator for set-up and
operation. Accept direction from only one person. However,
obey a stop signal from anyone in the vicinity. All other non-
essential personnel should be cleared from the area.
Failure to position wood blocking directly under bolt hole
locations before removing the shipping/storage container
cover will cause unnecessary pressure on bolts and damage
threads.
