Operations Manual

6. Starting the Diesel Hammer
Installation of the tripping device
1. Attach the lower and one upper guide gibs
to the tripping device. In U- type leads the
tripping device is guided directly at starter
guides mounted to the Diesel Pile Hammer
(see page 1-2).
2. Place the wire rope in the rope sheave or for
smaller hammer types connect the wire rope
directly to the sheave pin. To do so, you must
remove the sheave pin and install it again
when the wire rope is positioned. Secure the
sheave pin with the safety screw or cotter pin.
3. Lift the tripping device upward and make sure
it is smoothly sliding.
Lowering the tripping device
1. Pull the lever (A2) down to the stop using the
rope and keep it taut. This retracts the driving
pin (A3) in a vertical position. The tripping
device can move past the lifting dogs (6) of
the Diesel Pile Hammer.
2. Lower the tripping device to the lower stop
(9). The trip cam lever (A5) is pushed upward
at the trip cam lever engaging point (9). Pawl
(A4) is thus pushed out and into the lifting
groove of the piston weight (26).
4. Attach the rope (in the toolbox) to the lever
(A2).
Operating mode
You must keep a distance of at least 13 feet
(4 meters) from the Diesel Pile Hammer.
