VI MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
A. The V-2Esc hammer should be inspected regularly to help keep it in good operating
condition. The time interval between necessary adjustments and repairs depends
primarily on how much and how hard the machine has been used. Repair or replace
broken or damaged parts as soon as they are discovered. Periodic cleaning and
repainting will help keep all parts in better working order and prolong the machine’s life.
B. Inspect the V-2Esc hammer daily for loose fasteners.
Stand a safe distance away from the pile and from below the
V-2Esc hammer during vibrating operations. Any unobserved or unconnected,
loose nut or other fastener may fall.
C. Assure that the proper lube oil level is maintained in the V-2Esc exciter case. If the level
of oil is above the sight gauge or the lube oil volume is increasing, this will indicate that
the hydraulic motor is leaking hydraulic fluid through the motor drive shaft seal. The seal
leakage must be corrected immediately.
D. Daily Maintenance Check Lists - Check the entire unit prior to and during start-up each
shift.
a) Visually check all hoses for signs of damage or cuts that might cause hose failure
during operation. Be sure all connections are tight, especially the quick disconnects.
b) Look for any damage to the unit, in general that might cause it to fail when put into
operation.
c) Check the V-2Esc exciter case lube oil level.
d) Check the V-2Esc clamping jaws for excessive wear, cracks or loose fasteners. If
it is necessary, the removal of the movable jaw is done by pushing out the 3/4” roll
pin either up or down. The single vertical roll pin captivates the movable jaw. The
fixed jaw is held tight against the housing with two one-inch bolts. Also, operating the
V-2Esc on piling without the Jaw Shields could result in jaw damage if the hammer is
dropped onto the pile.
