2. Safety Information
2.6 Assembly, conversion, disassembly,
maintenance, repair
The Diesel Pile Hammer shall be inspected prior
to the first time that it is put into operation and then
annually by an expert. Said expert inspection must
be carried out by persons that have participated
in an extensive training program in our facilities.
Assembly, conversion, disassembly, maintenance
and repair work shall be carried out only by
qualified and authorized personnel.
The Diesel Pile Hammer must be shut off prior
to carrying out any work on it. Death or serious
injury may result.
Make sure another person cannot put the
equipment into operation when work is being
performed, as death may result.
The following must be observed for repair and
maintenance work:
• At least two persons must be present.
Both must be familiar with the operating
instructions and must know how to address
safety questions.
• One person shall be located where he or she
is in a position to observe those performing
the work. The Lockout Tagout Program must
be in place to prevent any accidental start
ups.
• One person must be located at the main
operating station to monitor the safety of the
other persons. Said person must have access
to an EMERGENCY switch (or shutoff cable
for the fuel supply) in all situations.
• An uninterrupted communication must be
possible between the involved persons.
• The work area must be appropriately
illuminated.
Maintenance and repair work can be carried out
by one person only, when the pile hammer is
completely shut off and all means to put it into
operation are blocked.
