ANTAEUS TALOS 55
II. PREPARATION FOR OPERATION
C. RIGGING OF VIBRATOR (CONTINUED)
b. Check the fit of the yoke pin in the bucket pivot bore on the stick. If bushings were
provided, check the pin fit with bushings installed. Maximum pin (bushing) clearence
should not exceed .04”(1mm).
c. If all fits are correct, connect Talos 55 yoke to the excavator stick.
d. Move excavator to the Talos 55 location. Lift, and safely support. the Talos 55 in a
vertical position.
e. Connect the yoke to the Talos 55, using the excavator swivel pins.
NOTE: If frequent changes are anticipated, between pile driving and digging operations, it may
be more convenient to install quick disconnect fittings on the Talos 55 and bucket cylinder pipes.
Contact ANTAEUS, or your excavator dealer, for advice on quick disconnects fittings.
f. AUXILIARY CIRCUIT: Most excavators are equipped with internal valving, and piping
along the boom and stick, to accommodate breakers and other
types of auxiliary attachments. Use this auxiliary circuit to operate the Talos 55.
However, some excavators only have one way flow in their
auxiliary circuit, which will not allow its use with a Talos 55. Secondly, many
excavators use drastically reduced tubing and hose diameters in their
auxiliary circuit, which will generate excessive heat with the oil flows required by
a Talos 55. Finally, the types of cab mounted controls used in
some excavators will not allow the fine control desirable for Talos 55 operations.
Prior to connecting the Talos 55 to the excavator auxiliary circuit, contact Antaeus or your
excavator dealer.
g. Measure the lengths of hydraulic hose that will be required to connect the NPT fittings
on the Talos 55 Rototilt mechanism to the control manifold
(mount on boom). Include enough extra hose length to allow the Talos 55 to tilt forward
using the excavator bucket cylinder. See manifold assembly drawing D8834 for the location
of the fittings.
h. Measure the lengths of low pressure, hydraulic hose that will be required to connect the
NPT fitting on the Talos 55 manifold, to excavator hydraulic
reservoir, in the engine compartment. (this hose will have to be tied to the boom and stick
to prevent fouling). Include enough extra hose length to allow the full range of motion
of the excavator stick and boom.
