OPERATION
NOTICE
Failure to remove the travel lock may result in damage
to the equipment during operation.
Exposure to silica dust during construction activities
can cause serious or fatal respiratory disease. Use
adequate respiratory protection.
OPERATION
Ensure that the drop hammer is operated at a safe distance
from other personnel and equipment. Be sure all guards are
in place.
The drop hammer's weight is normally rested on the skids
during use. However when moving about the drop hammer
may represent a heavy load for the carrier. Therefore care
must be taken when moving about a job-site or when loading
or unloading from a transporter. The drop hammer should be
carried as low as possible and special care taken when nego-
tiating uneven surfaces. Know the limits of your carrier.
NOTICE
The drop hammer is intended for use only on level or near
level surfaces. Do not operate the drop hammer on uneven
or unlevel surfaces.
MOUNTING TO THE CARRIER
1. With the drop hammer laying on a at level surface bolt the
mounting plate to the mounting bracket. Ensure these bolts
are torqued to the recommended value.
2. Bring the carrier up to the drop hammer from the bottom or
impact end. If you have a quick attachment systems maneuver
the mount plate on the carrier until it engages with the adaption
plate. Then actuate the slides or levers to lock the plates
together. With a pin mount system; maneuver the carrier until
the pinholes are aligned and slide in the connection pins.
Ensure the pins are bolted in place. Grease these pivots as per
the carrier manufactures recommendations. Never operate
the drop hammer with a loose or ill-tting attachment.
Connect the hoses to supply oil to the port marked "PRESS"
on the valve block.
3. Carefully raise the drop hammer to the vertical position
keeping the base of the machine close to the ground
throughout the lifting movement. Slowly move the Cyclone
through the full extent of rotation and lift to ensure no part of
the machine or any hydraulic hosing foul the carrier arms or
cylinders. Ensure hoses are long enough so they do not pull
tight in any part of the rotation and short enough to stay clear
of the ground or operating area.
4. Once the drop hammer is securely mounted to the carrier
the Traveling Lock may be removed. Be sure to store this
plate safely for future use.
During use, the traveling lock may be bolted outside the
housing using the same hole as shown in Figure 2 below.
