How a vibratory driver / extractor
system works (cont.):
By virtue of being firmly clamped to the pile, the
vertical vibration created in the gearbox by the
rotating eccentrics is transmitted into the pile being
driven.
The vibrations exerted through the pile and then
into the soil cause a process referred to as soil
liquefaction. This occurs when the loose, granular
particles in the soil become loose & jumbled, or
liquefied. The shearing action created by the
vibration of the pile coupled with the combined
weight of the hammer & pile allows for the pile to
be driven through the “liquefied” soil.

Vibratory Hammer Set-up (cont.):
With the hammer level
and in the vertical
position, check exciter
housing lubrication oil
via sight glass on
hammer.
Oil level should not be
allowed to drop below
halfway in sight glass
Vibratory Hammer Set-up (cont.):
If reconnecting hydraulic
lines, lift hammer in
vertical position. Bleed
clamp cylinder of any
excess air that may have
become trapped in the
system. First make sure Close clamp completely
clamp is completely
closed, in order to maintain
pressure. Then bleed
clamp via Allen wrench, as
shown in picture on bottom
right. Bleed clamp until
fluid runs clear.

Cold Weather Vibro Set-Up / Start-Up
4.) Vibratory Hammer Operation
Hot liquids coming into contact with skin can cause severe burns.
Do not attempt to pull out kinks in hydraulic hoses. Kinks can reduce
the hose safety factor by up to 50%.
Repair any loose or damaged fuel and oil lines, tubes or hoses prior to
equipment start-up. Leaks can cause fire and/or injury.
Make sure that all clamps, guards, and heat shields are installed
correctly to prevent vibration, rubbing against other parts, and
excessive heat during operation.
Do not allow hot oil to come into contact with skin, as it can cause
severe burning and/or personal injury.
Safety: Hoses, Lines, & Tubes
(cont.)
Before equipment start-up, check all lines, hoses and tubes
for the following:
