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 flame. 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 flammable 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 fittings. Move power unit closer to work if hoses cannot
reach.Donotusehosesasa towlinetotugthepowerunit!Ifahosefailsatthe hydrauliccouplers
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. Always attach safety line to pile when extracting or hoisting into position.
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 fittings unless the
caps and plugs have wire rope safety lines attached. Store in storage box under control panel.

Warranty
American Piledriving Equipment, Inc.
STANDARD WARRANTY
American Piledriving Equipment, Inc. (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 first user and subject to the following conditions:
APE/J&M’s obligation and liability under this WARRANTY is expressly limited to repairing or
replacing 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 component 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 skived lube and fuel lines, worn cushion
material in the drive base) or normal maintenance parts (such as fouled injectors, weakened check
valve springs, damaged grease fittings 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 fitness 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 (driving or pulling) at full speed. Resort to
a 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 the bearings and
related components to prevent use of the machine beyond 195 degrees F. 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 is
permitted 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 the
warranty. This standard specification is accepted by the DFI (Deep Foundations Institute) and the PDCA
(Pile Driving Contractors Association) and by all manufacturers of pile driving equipment.

I-3B. The Vibrator Gearbox
Thevibrator gearboxcontains two high amplitude eccentric weights castin onepiece withthe gear.
The counterweight is filled, and therefore, enhanced with lead to increase eccentric moment. 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. Both the eccentric and the drive gear
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 eccentric and drive
gear are driven in line by one Volvo motor mounted on the outside face of the gearbox. The motor
is recessed for maximum protection. The eccentrics rotate on two shafts housed by four giant
sphericalbearings.Thegearsandbearingsreceivelubricationasaresultofthefluidsplashinginside
the gearbox when the gears are rotated. The oil level is quickly determined by looking at the site
gauge. The Model 50 can be operated under water to a depth of 30 feet without modifications.
(Consult factory for depths below 30 feet.)
