• Unexpected overturning of the excavator
When transporting the vibrator, ensure it is placed correctly in the stand.
Once in place on the stand the jaws must be closed. Release the hydraulic
hoses from the excavator (the hard jaws will remain closed) and cap the hose
ends to prevent contamination. Disconnect the vibrator from the excavator.
Transporting a pile using the vibrator should only be done over a small distance,

Should the grip on the pile be reduced during this procedure, the excavator must
stop, and a better grip effected. Should a pile slip then the lifting chain could
snap and cause an accident. When transporting a pile extreme care must be
taken to ensure that no one is in the Danger Area and that the pile is handled in
such a way as to ensure no danger to site personnel at any time.
In order to avoid extensive transporting, have the piles laid out as close to the
point of installation as possible. Do not use the excavator with the EMV220
installed to handle bundles of piles around the job site.
