The derrick is the part f a digger derrick that is used t accmplish the lifting functin. The derrick cnsists f a pedestal/turntable assembly (the pedestal) and an extendable bm Pedestal. The pedestal is munted n the truck bdy. The pedestal supprts the bm and huses the mtr that rtates the bm. Digger derricks are ften classified accrding t where n the truck bdy the pedestal is munted Rear munt. A digger derrick with the pedestal munted at the back f the truck and the bm stred ver the truck cab Center munt. A digger derrick with the pedestal munted directly behind the truck cab and the bm stred ver the back f the truck Crner munt. A digger derrick with the pedestal munted at the rear f the truck, similar t a rear munt but ff-center ver ne crner f the truck Extendable Bm. The extendable bm is attached t the pedestal. The bm is typically made in several sectins, which allw it t be extended r retracted. It can be raised, lwered and swung arund in a circle. This allws the tip f the bm t be psitined anywhere within a wide area arund the truck Ple grabbers. Munted at the tip f the bm. Ple grabbers are hydraulically perated jaws, which can be used t guide a ple and stabilize it in psitin as it is being set. They can be pened and clsed and, n sme vehicles, tilted up and dwn Winch. A pwered reel device used with a winch line fr lifting. The winch can be munted n the pedestal, r it can be munted at the tip f the bm. If the winch is pedestal-munted, a bm tip sheave is used at the tip f the bm t guide the winch line.

9 The Digger. The digger is the part f a digger derrick that des the actual digging. The digger mechanism is a hydraulically perated mtr that drives the auger. It is attached t the bm by the digger hanger bracket Auger. The auger resembles a large drill bit. It is the hle-bring tl f the digger. It is cnnected t the shaft f the digger mechanism with a large pin. They are made in varius sizes fr different types f jbs (utility ple installatin, anchr installatin, etc.). Augers are changed by remving the pin and slipping the auger ff the shaft f the digger mechanism Auger Stwage Basket. When the auger is nt in use, it is stwed n the auger stwage bracket Auger Hist Line. The hist line is attached t a hk n the upper end f the auger. When the auger is rtated slwly, it winds up int its stwed psitin. The digger is held in place n the stwage bracket by a hydraulically perated stw lck pin. Sme digger derricks als have a mechanical pin, which is manually inserted t further safeguard the assembly Digger Derrick Cntrls Multi-purpse bm cntrl. The multi-purpse bm cntrl can be mved in several different directins t mve the bm up r dwn, extend r retract the bm, r rtate the pedestal t the left r right. The farther any cntrl is mved frm the central, r neutral, psitin, the faster the functin it cntrls is perfrmed Thrttle pedal. Lcated n the pedestal, the thrttle pedal cntrls the speed f the truck s engine which pwers the hydraulic system. When the speed f the engine is increased, the pwer t the hydraulic system is increased Stw lck release. Hydraulically lcks and releases the stw lck pin, allwing the auger t be held in place n the auger stwage bracket r lwered fr use Dump valve. Lcated within reach f the peratr. If ne f the cntrls sticks, the peratr can use the dump valve t temprarily stp hydraulic actin. When the prblem causing the stuck cntrl is crrected, the peratr returns the dump valve t its riginal psitin t restre hydraulic pwer Outrigger cntrls. Outrigger cntrls are lcated at the back f the truck. They cntrl the peratin f the utriggers, which are a pair f hydraulically perated arms that can be extended ut frm the sides f the truck t the grund t help stabilize the unit.

If the sheave height des nt change, increasing the hk radius decreases the lifting ability f the derrick. Hwever, if the hk radius des nt change, increasing the sheave height can increase the derrick s lifting ability. See the lift capacity chart fr the specific digger derrick being perated Hk radius. The distance frm the center f the pedestal t the bm tip sheave, measured in a line parallel t the grund. The hk radius can change when the bm is extended, retracted, raised r lwered Sheave height. The distance frm the bm tip sheave straight dwn t the grund. As with the hk radius, the sheave height can change when the bm is extended, retracted, raised, r lwered Bm Angle Indicatr. A bm angle indicatr is a free-swinging device that indicates the angle t which the bm has been raised When handling material never attach the lad t the fall prtectin anchr Never lay cnductrs n platfrms t lift them int psitin. And d nt allw cnductrs r ther bjects t drag acrss the bm as this may cause guges in the bm, cmprmising its strength, durability and insulating prperties Never verlad the side lad prtectin system, if equipped.

15 Always stand firmly n the flr f the platfrm. Never sit r climb n the edge f the platfrm. Use fall prtectin, as required D nt leave the cntrls unattended while a lad is suspended Operating n Slpes. Digger Derricks are limited t their rated capacity with the unit set up n a maximum f a five degree slpe. Never perate a digger derrick n a slpe f ver five degrees withut the apprpriate measures t level the unit. If the slpe exceeds five degrees, apprpriate cribbing and blcking f utriggers may be required Electrical Cntinuity. Aerial devices and digger derricks with insulated bms can nly islate the peratr frm grunding thrugh the bm and the vehicle. They cannt prvide prtectin against phase-t-phase r phase-t-grund cntacts ccurring at the bm-tip, abve the insulated bm sectins Bm tips f aerial devices and digger derricks, f necessity, must cntain metal cmpnents. Metal cnducts electricity. Mrever, under certain circumstances, and t varying degrees, electricity will track acrss r thrugh nn-metallic cmpnents (fiberglass cvers and structures, hses, etc.). Electricity can even arc acrss the air. Thus, the bm tip f an aerial device r a digger derrick must be cnsidered cnductive If any part f the bm-tip cntacts an energized cnductr, the entire bm-tip, including the cntrl handle, must be cnsidered energized If any part f the bm-tip cntacts a grunded bject, the entire bm-tip, including the cntrl handle, must be cnsidered grunded Hydraulic Fluid. Hydraulic fluid is flammable. If electricity flws thrugh the bm-tip, it can cause the hydraulic fluid t burn r t explde. Cntact by any part f the bm-tip with an energized cnductr while the bm tip is als in cntact with anther energized surce r a grunded bject can cause the hydraulic fluid at the bm-tip t burn r explde D nt rely n the bm-tip t prtect the vehicle frm an energized cnductr r a grund. Always wear insulated prtective equipment, use cnductr cver-ups, and maintain clearances when in the vicinity f energized cnductrs Digging Safety Crkscrewing. The auger shuld nt be allwed t catch in the grund and pull the bm dwn. If this ccurs, the digger rtatin will need t be reversed. Once the bm is mved up, it will free the auger Persnnel shuld never be allwed in the digger path when the digger mechanism is being lwered r stwed.

16 Persnnel shuld stay ut frm under the bm Undergrund utilities. Undergrund utilities shuld always be lcated accrding befre breaking grund with a digger derrick Backing Use a sptter and hand signals. See Sectin 5.4. and AFMAN Back slwly and keep the sptter in view at all times Parking Apply the parking brake. Chck the wheels Set cnes when parked Bm Operatin Set truck n flat slid grund when perating the bm Always face away frm elbw when perating the bm Beware where the elbw f the bm is in relatin t ther lines and bjects Bm Tip Electrical Cntinuity When perating a digger derrick frm a bm tip platfrm, all cmpnents at the bm tip including the cntrls must be cnsidered t be electrnically cnnected. Use fall prtectin, as required If an energized cnductr bject tuches any part f the bm tip, treat the entire bm tip as grunded The insulated prtin f the bm can nly islate the peratr frm grunding thrugh the bm and vehicle The ple, crss arm, and ther hardware must be cnsidered by the peratr as grunded The unit cannt prtect a persn frm current between an energized cnductr and any ther cnductr, grund, r grunded equipment n r in cntact with the ple including the neutral wire.

17 Bm Hand Signals. See Figure 5.1. When it is necessary t cmmunicate t an peratr f a digger derrick, use the fllwing hand signals. Figure 5.1. Bm Hand Signals Outriggers.

18 Have utriggers n fld when perating the bucket When lwering utriggers make sure paths are clear At all times beware f the surrundings in relatin t any energized lines arund the vehicle and the bm Never perate the bm when winds are 30 mph and abve At all times the grund man shuld knw where the bucket is in relatin t the energized wire Always use a sptter when backing Bucket Operatin Always keep the bucket clean f an bject that causes a tripping hazard Always use bucket cntrls when bucket is manned. Lwer cntrls are t be used nly in emergency situatins D nt use the bucket as a lifting device Always use fall prtectin D nt perate with the Hi Ranger and vehicle resting n a grade steeper than degrees, unless the platfrm is extended dwnhill Overhead Clearance. Ensure that the bm has clearance between energized lines and equipment prir t mving the bm ut f the cradle and placing it in psitin Tire Changing Safety Cnsider where the vehicle is lcated. If n a bridge, curve, rad with n shulder, etc.; it is safer t mve a vehicle n a flat tire t a safe lcatin Find a lcatin with a firm and level surface fr the jack Turn n the fur-way flashers Place warning triangles r flares Blck the wheels. If changing a frnt tire, blck the rear wheels. If changing a rear tire, blck the frnt wheels.

19 Place the vehicle in Park if it has an autmatic transmissin and lw gear if it has a standard shift Ensure the jack is rated fr the weight f the vehicle. Ensure prper placement f jack If available, use jack stands after lifting the vehicle. Once the vehicle is lifted; never at any time get under the vehicle Befre remving lug nuts, ensure lug wedges are lse (duble check) After changing the tire, return the jack and lug wrench t the lcatin recmmended by the manufacturer (keep them frm becming flying prjectiles and makes them available fr future tire changes) Secure the damaged tire and nce it is repaired, return the spare tire back t its prper lcatin Off-rad driving.
