OPERATION

PRE-OPERATION PROCEDURES

PREPARATION FOR INITIAL USE

Each unit as shipped has no special unpacking or as- sembly requirements prior to usage. Inspection to as- sure the unit was not damaged in shipping and does not contain packing debris is all that is required.

CHECK HYDRAULIC POWER SOURCE

1.Using a calibrated flowmeter and pressure gauge, check that the hydraulic power source develops a flow of 7–10 gpm/26–38 lpm at 2000 psi/105–140 bar.

2.Make certain the hydraulic power source is equipped with a relief valve set to open at 2100–2250 psi/145–

155 bar minimum.

3.Check that the hydraulic circuit matches the tool for open-center (OC) operation.

CHECK TOOL

1.Make sure all tool accessories are correctly in- stalled. Failure to install tool accessories properly can result in damage to the tool or personal injury.

2.There should be no signs of leaks.

3.The tool should be clean, with all fittings and fasten- ers tight.

CHECK TRIGGER MECHANISM

1.Check that the trigger operates smoothly and is free to travel between the ON and OFF positions.

CONNECT HOSES

1.Wipe all hose couplers with a clean lint-free cloth before making connections.

2.Connect the hoses from the hydraulic power source to the hose couplers on the spike driver. It is a good practice to connect the return hose first and discon- nect it last to minimize or avoid trapped pressure within the spike driver.

3.Observe flow indicators stamped on hose couplers to be sure that oil will flow in the proper direction.

The female coupler is the inlet coupler.

NOTE:

The pressure increase in uncoupled hoses left in the sun may result in making them difficult to connect. When possible, connect the free ends of operating hoses together.

OPERATING PROCEDURES

1.Observe all safety precautions.

2.Move the hydraulic circuit control valve to the ON position.

3.Place the spike driver foot firmly on the spike to be driven.

4.Squeeze the trigger to start the spike driver. Ade- quate down pressure is very important. When the spike fully sets in the tie, release the trigger.

NOTE:

Partially depressing the trigger allows the tool to operate at a slow speed, making it easy to start the spike in the tie.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION

If the spike driver is to be used during cold weather, pre- heat the hydraulic fluid at low engine speed. When us- ing the normally recommended fluids, fluid temperature should be at or above 50 °F/10 °C (400 ssu/82 centi- stokes) before use.
