VI. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
B. OPERATING THE V-22/HP-380T4 SYSTEM - EXTRACTING MODE
(CONTINUED)
3. For pile extracting operations, a V-22 hammer is frequently fitted with
a shackle and a short auxiliary line attached the crane hook. The V-
22 hammer is clamped to a steel sheet pile to be pulled and the
shackle is fastened into the lifting hole in the pile. The V-22 hammer
is operated to extract the pile until the pile can easily be lifted out of
place exclusively by the line pull of the crane. The V-22 hammer is
then stopped by depressing the stop push button. The pile is then
pulled out of the ground, and the hammer and pile swung to where the
pile will be stacked. The lower end of the pile is set on the ground
and the V-22 hammer jaws are opened allowing the pile head to fall
away from the jaws and hang by the line and shackle. The V-22
hammer and dangling pile are lowered to the ground where the
shackle is disconnected from the pile.
