Pile driving procedure
Danger - Warning
Only drive the pile into sloping ground within the limits foreseen by the manufac-
turer.
On sloping ground position the machine with the pile driver as close as possible to
the truck to reduce the risk of tipping over.
The operator must be positioned as shown in the figure.
When driving the pile into the ground the percussion hammer must be manually placed
in a perfectly vertical position (see “Operation controls”) or automatically (see “Using the
verticality system”).
To manually place the column in a perfectly vertical position use the level gauge (Q).
Check the need to replace, according to the type of pile to be driven, the stroke plate (H)
and the matrix (T) (see “Replacing the stroke plate”).
Proceed as outlined below.
1) Move the lever (A) to lift the column vertically compared to the ground.
2) Move the lever (B) to lift the percussion hammer.
3) Tighten the safety lock pin (S) and slowly rest the hammer on the pin.
Y) Control position foreseen for the operator
