VI MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
A. The V-2Esc hammer should be inspected regularly to help keep it in good operating
condition.Thetimeintervalbetweennecessaryadjustmentsandrepairsdepends
primarily on how much and how hard the machine has been used. Repair or replace
broken or damaged parts as soon as they are discovered. Periodic cleaning and
repainting will help keep all parts in better working order and prolong the machine’s life.
B. Inspect the V-2Esc hammer daily for loose fasteners.
Stand a safe distance away from the pile and from below the
V-2Esc hammer during vibrating operations. Any unobserved or unconnected,
loose nut or other fastener may fall.
C. Assure that the proper lube oil level is maintained in the V-2Esc exciter case. If the level
of oil is above the sight gauge or the lube oil volume is increasing, this will indicate that
thehydraulicmotorisleakinghydraulicuidthroughthemotordriveshaftseal.Theseal
leakage must be corrected immediately.
