    Safety Precautions(This list of precautions must be followed at all times to ensure personal & equipment safety.)

    1. Read this manual from beginning to end before operating or working on this machine.

    2. When operating in a closed area, pipe exhaust fumes outside. (WARNING: Breathing exhaust fumes can cause serious injury and even death.)

    3. When servicing batteries, avoid any type of spark or open fl ame. Batteries generate explosive gases during charging. There must be proper ventilation when charging batteries. 4. Never Adjust or repair the unit while it is in operation.

    5. Make sure the Control Pendant is in the "OFF" position before starting the unit.

    6. Remove all tools and electrical cords before starting the unit.

    7. Keep oily rags away from the exhaust system.

    8. Never store fl ammable liquids near the engine.

    9. Never stand under vibro at any time and keep your eyes on the vibro when it is in operation. Keep a look out for loose bolts or leaking hydraulic lines.

    10. Avoid pulling on hose quick dis-connect fi ttings. Move power unit closer to work if hoses cannot reach. Do not use hoses as a tow line to tug the power unit! If a hose fails at the hydraulic couplers then it is a result of "hose tugging by the pile crew".

    11. Avoid kinks in the hoses. Kinks will cut the hose safety factor by 50 percent.

    12. Always wear eye and ear protection.

    13. Avoid standing downwind of vibrating piles. Dirt and other matter may become airborne and fall into the unprotected eye.

    14. Always wear a hardhat, gloves, and safety shoes.

    15. When moving, driving or extracting pile, always attach safetyline between pile and crane hook.

    16. (WARNING) Never clamp vibro to pile and dis-connect from crane line. Lay vibro down on ground when not in use.

    17. Do not truck power unit with quick disconnect caps and plugs screwed on to fi ttings unless the caps and plugs have wire rope safety lines attached. Store in storage box under control panel.

    American Piledriving Equipment, Inc./J&M Foundation Equipment LLC (APE/J&M) warrants new products sold by it to be free from defects in material or workmanship for a period of one year after

    the date of delivery to the fi rst user and subject to the following conditions:APE/J&M’s obligation and liability under this WARRANTY is expressly limited to repairing orreplacing at APE/J&M’s option, any parts which appear to APE/J&M upon inspection to have

    been defective in material or workmanship. Such parts shall be provided at

    no cost to the user, at the business establishment of APE/J&M or the authorized APE/J&M distributor of the product during regular working hours. This WARRANTY, shall not apply to compo-nent parts or accessories of products not manufactured by APE/J&M and which carry the warranty of

    the manufacturer thereof, or to normal maintenance (scraped and scived lube and fuel lines, worncushion material in the drive base) or normal maintenance parts (such as fouled injectors, weakened

    check valve springs, damaged grease zirts caused by use over time). Replacement or repair parts installed in the product covered by this WARRANTY are warranted only

    for the remainder of the warranty as if such parts were original components of said product. APE/J&M makes no other warranty, expressed or implied and makes no

    warranty of merchantability of fi tness for any particular purpose.

    APE’s obligation under this WARRANTY shall not include any transportation charges, costs of installation, duty, taxes or any other charges whatsoever, or any liability for direct, indirect,

    incidental or consequential damage or delay. If requested by APE/J&M, products or parts for which a warranty claim is made are to be returned transportation prepaid to APE/J&M. Any improper use,including operation after discovery of defective or worn parts, operation beyond rated capacity,

    substitution of any parts whatsoever, or parts not approved by APE/J&M or any alteration or repair by others in such manner as in APE/J&M’s judgment affects the product materially and

    adversely, shall void this warranty.

    ANY TYPE OF WELDING ON EQUIPMENT WILL VOID THE WARRANTY

    Refusal: Vibros: If the pile does not move one foot in 30 seconds of vibro operation at full speed. Resort toa larger vibro. APE/J&M equipment may exceed the refusal driving criteria for short periods of time as may be needed

    to penetrate hard soil layers or obstacles. In such cases, a heat gun is used to monitor the temperature of thebearings and related components to prevent use of the machine beyond 210 degrees. Contact APE/J&M or your local

    APE/J&M distributor for special instructions when faced with refusal conditions.Refusal: Diesels: Do not exceed 10 blows per inch or 120 blows per foot. In cases of setting of the pile it ispermitted to increase the blow count to 250 blows per foot, but only for one foot of driving penetration. Pile

    inspectors should consult the APE factory for permission to exceed these limits. Failure to do so will void thewarranty. This standard specifi cation is accepted by the DFI (Deep Foundations Institute) and the PDCA

    (Pile Contractors Association) and by all manufacturers of pile driving equipment.

    Patented breakthrough suppressor cuts down weight while increasing line pull.

    Suppressor is modular and can be removed to reduce suspended weight and height.

    One piece eccentric/ gear design eliminates bolts, keyways, splines and pins.

    Eeccentrics filled with "heavy metals" produce more amplitude with less parts.

    Giant spherical bearings are fi ve times larger than those found on other machines.

    The 200 vibro can be shipped fully assembled on one truck.

    The Model 200 outper-forms other vibros in its class. It is lighter and al-lows more pull and reach.

    I. GENERAL INFORMATION

    I-1. Machine Features. - Model 200 Vibratory Hammer

    The heavy duty lifting pin allows easy rigging of the vibro and two safety pins ensure maximum safety.

    More pulling ability than other comparable vibros.

    Gear box incorporates a machined O-ring groove to seal the top plate with no leaky gaskets.

    Rifl e bored top plate eliminates unwanted hoses that can causeserious downtime.

    Computer designed gear-box is perfectly balanced with low center of gravity. Release crane line with-out the worry of bending piles.

    Hydraulic motors are re-cessed which eliminates the need for bolted on guards. Less parts - less problems.

    Heavy cylinder needs no guards and all hoses are tucked out of harms way. The one piece design eliminates rear seals, tie rods & nuts.

    Gear box drilled to accept attachments manufac-tured by APE and by other manufacturers.

    High speed gear train will allow vibro to operate off many different power units.

    I-3. General Description of Model 200 Vibro

    The APE Model 200 is a variable frequency vibratory pile driver/extractor designed to drive and extract all types of piles including sheet, pipe, timber, concrete, H-beam, I-beam and steel plates. In addition, the vibrator can be used for soil compaction, installing well casings, and installation of tie-backs and wick drains.

    The Model 200 operates in a frequency range of 800 to 1,600 cycles per minute depending on the hydraulic fl ow and on the hydraulic motors fi tted to the gear train.

    The three major parts to the Model 200 are as follows:

    A. The Suppressor housing. B. The Gearbox. C. The Clamp Attachment.

    I-3A. The Suppressor Housing

    The suppressor housing utilizes a total of four, fi st stage large elastomers and 8 small, second, stage small elastomers. During extraction, the fi rst stage displaces approximately 7.75 inches and then engages the inner second stage and engagement pin plate. The engagement pin will then come into motion and provide an additional 10 inches until the safety pin bottoms out in the visual slot registering the total line pull with a total maximum line pull of 150 tons. When the second stage is engaged you must be fully engaged in the second stage. Bouncing on the safety pin between stages is damaging. ( WARNING! Hard pulling for long periods of time will heat and damage the large elastomers. The heat generated from constant heavy line pull will destroy the chemical bond between the rubber and mounting plate which will cause elas-tomer failure.) When engaged in hard extracting, break every 15 minutes to allow elastomers to cool.

    I-3B. The Vibrator Gearbox

    The vibrator gearbox contains four high amplitude eccentric weights cast in one piece with the gear. This design is unique to the industry and was developed by the engineers of APE to solve a number of problems associated with other types of vibrator machines. The eccentric and the drive gears have been helically cut to provide high speed operation with reduced noise and wear. Vibration is caused by the vertical movement created when the eccentrics are rotated. The eccentrics and drive gears are all driven in line by a hydraulic motor tucked in on the outboard side of the gearbox. The motor is recessed for maximum protection. The eccentrics rotate on four shafts housed by eight giant spherical bearings. The gears and bearings receive lubrication as a result of the fl uid splashing inside the gearbox when the gears are rotated. The oil level is quickly determined by looking at the site gauge. The Model 200 can be operated under water to a depth of 30 feet without modifi cations. (Consult factory for depths below 30 feet.)

    I-3C. The Clamp Attachment

    The APE 200 comes with a Caisson Beam and Caisson Clamps. The clamps contain two gripping jaws. One is "fi xed" and one is "moveable". A large hydraulic cylinder operates the moveable jaw with up to 120 tons of clamping force depending on clamp pump relief pressure. The jaws open and close by turning a switch on the remote control pendant or may be operated by turning the switch at the main control panel mounted behind one of the doors on the power unit. The valve can be manually operated with a screwdriver if all electrical fails. The APE Caisson Clamp can be used for driving and extracting caissons from 16 inches to 9.5 feet. (for larger diameters contact APE) The clamps are held in place with a simple wedge-lock design. Clamps can be fi tted with hydrauli-cally activated wedges for faster adjustments when driving more than one size caisson. (Contact APE or your local APE distributor for more information on clamp attachments for special pile types.)

    Figure 1-E. General Description of Clamp Attachment.

    Figure 1-F. Clamp Attachment Hole Confi guration.

    Notice: If you are involved in changing a clamp attachment then please train your crew to clean the machined surfaces of both the bottom of the vibro and the top of the clamp so that when they bolt the two together they will mate up properly. Sometimes a crew will forget to do this and the dirt or dent in the metal plates will prevent the bolts from becoming fully tight. When this hap-pens, the clamp bolts break.

    I-4. General Description of Model 595 Power Unit

    The 200 vibrator runs off the APE 595 power unit. The APE 595 has a 595 horsepower (444 kW) CATERPILLAR C18 engine. The engine is mounted to a tubular frame that also serves as a diesel fuel tank. A sheet metal and tube frame covers the engine and is equipped with locking doors for protection from the environment. A control panel is located behind one of the doors and comes complete with a 50 foot (15.2 M) control pendant. There are two hydraulic tanks on the power unit. One is the main tank and the other is a storage tank for extra oil in case the main tank becomes depleted. A hydraulic tank supplies oil to four pumps. Two pumps feed the vibrator motors. A small dual pump feeds the clamp attachment and phase shifter. There is also a recirculation pump to keep the oil cool and fi ltered. The Vibrator is connected to the power unit via fi ve hydraulic hoses. The 1 1/2" (ID) hoses are the pressure line and the return line for the vibrator motors. Two small 3/8" (ID) hoses are for the clamp system. The 3/4" (ID) hose is for the vibrator motor case drain line. The hoses are attached to the power unit by connecting the "quick disconnect fi ttings" on the end of the hoses leading from the vibrator. The fi ttings go on only one way so there is no chance of hooking up the hoses improperly.

    WARNING: Clean with ether or a clean rag before installing quick disconnects. Make sure you seat the quick disconnect fi ttings all the way tight. Failure to tighten the quick disconnects will stop the fl ow of oil and will prevent the vibro from operating. Failure to tighten the clamp fi ttings completely tight will cause the jaws to either not open or not close. If this happens you may have to crack the fi tting and bleed off the pressure to release the quick disconnects.

    III. LOADING AND UNLOADING

    III-1. Model 200 Vibratory Driver.

    The APE 200 vibrators are normally shipped in travel stands. Two sliding pins release the vibrator from the stand. To re-install, set vibro in stand and slide pins inward and rotate. Hoist vibro and stand by rigging to the vibro lifting shackle. Vibrators shipped without stands are usually laid fl at on the trailer deck and the hose bundle is coiled on top. Lift the vibrator by rigging one line to the lifting shackle 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 motors 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.

    The Power Unit is always loaded with the oil cooler facing to the rear of the truck to prevent dam-age to the cooler and the radiator from fl ying 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 trafi c. Make sure all doors are fully closed. Tighten fuel vent on the fuel cap to prevent diesel fuel from washing out the fi ll 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 laiding. Fax the information as soon as possible, any delay may make it impossible to fi nd the responsible party.

    IV. PREPARATION AND OPERATION

    IV-1. Rigging of Vibratory Driver

    A steel wire rope sling must be connected to the lifting bail located on top of the vibro. The required strength of this sling depends on the capacity of the crane and the work to be carried out. A safety factor of six is recommended. Several turns of a smaller diameter cable will result in a longer lasting sling than one larger diameter cable. When making a sling, avoid using cheap cable clamps. Checkthe clamps daily.

    The Vibro is fi tted with a standard sheet clamp at the factory. However, several types of clamps are used on APE vibros to fi t many different types of piles. A step by step procedure is provided as follows:

    1.) Clean all drilled and tapped threads on the bottom surface of the gearbox. Use a 1-1/2"UNC tap to clean any rusted threads and blow out any remaining fragments with compressed air. If there is a cutting torch on the jobsite then use the oxygen setting to blast the threads clean. Hold a rag over the tapped hole to prevent fl ying dirt from blasting into your eyes.

    2.) Clean the machined bottom surface of the gearbox and prepare to mount the clamp. If the clamp bolts should ever break, check the machined surface with a straight edge to make sure it is true and fl at.

    3.) Clean the machined surface of clamp. Eye-ball the entire surface for damage. Make sure the surface is fl at and void of all dirt.

    4.) Start by getting the center bolt in fi rst and work outwards. Do not tighten bolts until you have all of the bolts started.

    5.) Tighten bolts using a six-foot cheater pipe. If you do not have a cheater pipe then use a sledge hammer.

    6.) Go around all bolts at least three times making sure they are tight.

    7.) After vibrating the fi rst pile, check the bolts again.

    8.) If one bolt breaks, replace them all since they may be weak or cracked.

    9.) Never operate the vibro with missing clamp bolts.

    WARNING: Do not use grade fi ve bolts. All bolts should be allen head cap screw bolts. If one bolt breaks then the others are damaged and must be replaced. Never drive piles if one bolt is broken. Bolts break only because they were not tight and the crew neglected to check them. A good opera-tor insists that every bolt is checked twice daily.

    IV-2. Plumbing the Vibro Hoses to the Power Unit.

    There are fi ve hoses leading from the vibro that must be connected to the power unit to begin opera-tion (Please see section II-5, "Hose Identifi cation, page 2-5.) The hoses attach to the power unit by screwing the quick dis-connect couplers onto the proper couplers of the power unit. The couplers on the power unit are mated with the couplers on the vibro so there is no chance of putting them on backwards. Please take the following steps when installing the couplers:

    WARNING: TURN THE POWER UNIT OFF BEFORE INSTALLING COUPLERS

    1.) Turn the power unit OFF.2.) Clean all couplers with a can of ether if available. A clean dry cloth will also work but will

    require extreme care. Fittings must be spotless clean.3.) Install couplers by screwing them onto their respective counterparts. Try to avoid cross-

    threading and maintain a straight line. Jerk the hose back and forth while turning coupler to aid installation effort. Push hard to get the big coupler threads started.

    4.) Make sure fi ttings are tight. If they are properly cleaned they should run up tight with just a fi rm hand grip. However, they should be double checked with a chain wrench.

    5.) Avoid over-tightening.6.) If near salt water, spray with a light oil to prevent oxidation.7.) Position the Power Unit so that vibrator has enough hose to reach the work. Avoid pulling

    too hard on hoses.

    IV-3. Filling Vibrator Pressure Hoses.

    The vibrator is shipped with the hoses fi lled with oil. However, if the unit has been sitting for a long period of time or if a damaged hose has been replaced with a new one, then the hoses must be fi lled. Hook up all the hoses to the power unit (see Section IV-3 on [page 4-2] and Figure 4-A.). Start the power unit and let it run for ten minutes before running the vibro. The hoses will fi ll up by themselves in ten minutes even if the vibro is not in the vibrate mode.

    IV-4. Bleeding the Clamp Attachment Hydraulic Hoses.

    If the opening and closing of the jaws seems spongy or slow, it may be a result of air in the clamp hoses. Normally there is no need to worry about bleeding the clamp lines because the unit is shipped fully tested. However, should the vibro sit for a long period of time, if a new attachment is being installed or if a damaged clamp hose has been replaced, then the system may require bleeding to remove unwanted air in the system. To bleed the clamp system, follow the following steps:

    1.) Shut Power Unit OFF.2.) Make sure the clamp line quick dis-connects are coupled to the power unit.3.) Start the power unit engine and run at 1500 rpm. Give the engine time to warm up.4.) Loosen the clamp lines at the hydraulic cylinder by backing the fi ttings off just a little.5.) Turn the clamp switch on the power unit control pendant to "CLOSE" and wait for oil to

    fl ow from the fi ttings. WATCH FOR AIR BUBBLES. When air bubbles have stopped then quickly re-tighten the fi ttings.

    6.) Repeat the same procedure for "OPEN" side.7.) Operate the jaws. If they are still a bit spongy then repeat bleeding steps once more.

    WARNING: DO NOT BLEED SYSTEM AT FULL ENGINE THROTTLE BECAUSE TOO MUCH OIL WILL FLOW FROM THE HOSES AND COULD CAUSE INJURY.

    IV-5. Precautions and Rules for Operation.The following is a list of precautions, suggestions and rules that are intended to help promote thesafe and productive use of the APE Model 200 Vibratory Driver.

    1.) Follow the Daily Maintenance Required Prior to Operation, [Section V-1]. 2.) Read and follow the Safety Precautions, [page iii]. 3.) Follow the start-up procedures listed in the manual for the power unit being used. 4.) Start with piles in good condition. 5.) Put all teeth in pile. 6.) Drive in steps eight feet (2.5M) or less. 7.) Keep sheets plumb. 8.) Come up to speed before doing work. 9.) No dancing. Avoid densifying the soil. 10.) Drive past obstacles and then go back. 11.) Backhoe on site to remove obstacles. 12.) Lead with the ball. 13.) Probe the pile if it appears stuck. 14.) Keep piles plumb or down the road you go. 15.) Never rush the sheet pile foreman. 16.) Slow and plumb and the job will get done. 17.) Melted inner locks - piles out of plumb. 18.) Never stand under pile drivers. 19.) Low clamp pressure means jaw failures. 20.) Wait for vibro to get to full speed then pull. 21.) Don't over excavate - lower the ring. 22.) Look at the jaws during driving. 23.) Beware of cracked or broken sheets. 24.) In sandy soils drive faster. Vibration can cause settlement in loose, granular soils. 25.) In clay amplitude is everything. 26.) Low drive pressure means easy work. 27.) High pressure means friction on piles. 28.) Over 5000 psi means get a bigger vibro. 29.) No amplitude means get a bigger vibro. 30.) Caissons need heavy wall to avoid fl ex. 31.) Check clamp bolts each morning. 32.) Read the manual - know your machine. 33.) Attach whip line to pile when pulling. 34.) Know your line pull. 35.) Extract straight - look at boom and cable. 36.) Give boom stops some room. 37.) Stalled engine means dirty fuel fi lters.

    IV-6. Relief Valve Settings Prior to Operation - Model 595

    The Relief Valve and Pressure Switches are set by the factory. They will need to be re-set if the pressure switch is replaced.

    1. Do not hook up quick disconnects. Start and warm engine . Bring to full rpm.

    2. Check CIamp relief valve setting. On the Control Panel, turn the clamp switch to "OPEN" and hold it there while you read the CLAMP OPEN GAUGE on the panel. It should read 4800 PSI. If it is not coming up to pressure, then set the relief valve (FACTORY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY), by loosening the lock nut and turning the knob in slowly until the proper pressure is reached. Turn in (CW) to increase pressure, and out (CCW) to decrease pressure. Tighten the locknut and recheck the pressure to make sure that the setting did not move during tightening the lock nut. When the clamp switch is turned to "OPEN" and held, a small light on the solenoid is illuminated, showing that there is power to the solenoid. Otherwise, the light on the solenoid should be off.

    4. Adjust the clamp pressure switch setting. (If necessary). To set the pres-sure switch, turn the adjustment screw out using a screwdriver. (Turn it out a few turns counter-clockwise.) Turn clamp switch to "OPEN" for a second. Make sure the CLAMP OPEN GAUGE reads 4800 PSI. If it does not, then go back to the Step 2 and set the clamp relief valve fi rst.

    With clamp relief set at 4800 PSI, turn the clamp switch to "CLOSE". Green light should be on and clamp pressure should be very low or not reading at all.

    Turn Adjustment Screw in (CW) until the green light goes off. Then, turn adjustment screw out (CCW) until green light comes on. (About 1/4 to 1/2 turn.) The CLAMP CLOSE GAUGE should read 4000 to 4800 PSI.

    To check, turn clamp switch to "OPEN". The green light should be on.

    Repeat procedure if necessary.

    IV-8. Operation of the Control Pendant.

    1. All functions of the vibro can be controlled by the control pendant. It is the choice of the crew as to where best to locate the control pendant. Some prefer that the crane operator control all functions. Others prefer to give it to one of the ground crew so it can be positioned close to the work at hand. A 50 foot (15.2 M) cord is provided as standard equipment. If this is not long enough, additional 50 foot (15.2 M) sections can be added. Should the control pendant become damaged, all functions can be manually operated. See page 7-16 in this manual for more details on operation. See page 7-21 of this manual for wiring diagram and control pendant components.

    IV-10. Normal steps to operate vibrator: (Note: In order to operate power unit, Drive must be "OFF").

    1. Position vibro on pile.

    2. Set power unit speed to full throttle (factory set 1950 RPM).

    3. Turn Clamp to "CLOSE" the switch will stay in the "CLOSE" position and wait for light to come on.

    4. Turn Drive to "FWD" to direct hydraulic oil to Vibro.

    5. To drive piles, lower crane line as vibrovibrates pile.

    6. To extract, pull up on vibro while vibrating.

    7. See "Precautions and Rules for Operation" in this manual for more detailed operations on driving and extracting piles.

    8. To stop the vibro turn Drive to "OFF".

    V. MAINTENANCE

    V-1. Daily Maintenance Required Prior to Operation.

    1.) Visually inspect the entire vibro for loose nuts or bolts. Put a wrench on the clamp bolts and check them for tightness.

    2.) Grease the Jaw Plunger on the clamp housing.

    3.) Check the oil level in the vibrator. Hang vibro from crane and look at sight gauge. Make sure the oil is half way up gauge. If you cannot read it then you can't run the vibro. Remove the gauge and clean it by spraying a shot of starting fl uid at it. YOU MUST KNOW THE LEVEL!

    4.) If the oil is milky or black then change it. Change the oil every 150 hours regardless.

    5.) Check the fl uid level in the power unit hydraulic tank.

    6.) Look at all the hoses. Check for cuts or other damage that might cause an oil leak.

    7.) Check the Elastomers (rubbers) in the suppressor housing. Look for cracks.

    8) Check the following items:

    V-2. Checklist After Power Unit Engine Has Started

    1.) Check all hydraulic hoses for leaks. Make sure they hang free with no kinks.

    2.) Check inside the Power Unit. Look at all hoses and valves, check for leaks.

    3.) Check return fi lter gage at control panel with engine running at full rpm and hydraulic oil temperature above 80 degrees F. Replace fi lter when pressure is above 50 psi.

    4.) Check wire rope sling and make sure it is in excellent condition.

    5.) Check jaws for wear. Replace if necessary.
