OPERATION / MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MODEL 50 VIBRATORY HAMMER WITH MODEL 260 POWER UNIT
III. LOADING AND UNLOADING
III-1. Model 50 Vibratory Hammer
The APE 50 vibrator is normally shipped laying flat on the trailer deck and the hose bundle is coiled on
top. Lift the vibrator by rigging one line to the lifting pin and one line around the clamp attachment lifting
the vibro and hose bundle as one load. Avoid smashing hydraulic lines. Vibro should be loaded with
hydraulic motor down facing the deck and breather valves facing the sky. Before the truck has left,
carefully inspect the machine and hoses for any missing equipment or sign of damage that may have
occured during shipment or unloading.
III-2. Model 260 Power Unit
The Power Unit is always loaded with the oil cooler facing to the rear of the truck to prevent damage to
the cooler and the radiator from flying objects. The Power Unit is usually held to the truck by wrapping
a chain around both ends of the fuel tank base and the truck bed. After loading the Power Unit, tape the
exhaust rain cap shut to prevent rain water from getting inside. If quick disconnects do not have safety
cables then store them under the panel in the storage box rather than risk the possibility of the caps and
plugs coming loose and falling off into traffic. Make sure all doors are fully closed. Tighten fuel cap to
prevent diesel fuel from washing out the fill spout.
III-3. What to do if damaged during shipment
In the event of damage, notify the trucking agent at once. Note all damage on the bill of lading. Fax the
information as soon as possible, any delay may make it impossible to find the responsible party.
