TerminalLearningObjective
NOTE: Inform the students of the following Terminal Learning Objective requirements.
At the completion of this lesson, you [the student] will:
Action: Perform Clamshell/Grapple Operations
Conditions: At a training site, given a guided discussion on hook blockoperations, a hydraulic crane, a clamshell attachment, a grappleattachment, a stockpile of material, a student guide, TM 5-3810-307-10, an equipment records folder, a grease gun, petroleum, oil,and lubricants (POL), rags, and all personal protective equipment.
Standards: Installs a clamshell and grapple attachment, moves a stockpile witha clamshell and grapple attachment, and removes a clamshell andgrapple attachment utilizing TM utilizing TM 5-3810-307-10 withouterror and with no damage to equipment or injury to personnel.
SafetyRequirements
Review local training area SOP. Kevlar/Hard hats must be worn at all times.Hearing protection must be worn while equipment is running.

EnvironmentalConsiderations
NOTE: It is the responsibility of all Soldiers and DA civilians to protect theenvironment from damage. Avoid unnecessary stripping of vegetation andwaterways. Control dust conditions and limit water erosion by dressing area at theend of each day. Explain the purpose of drip pans and their location under theequipment. Avoid unnecessary equipment usage and follow established
procedures for cleanup of fluid leaks. Restore site and surrounding areas as closeas possible to the original ecological condition.
Evaluation Performance evaluation, refer to the student evaluation plan in the student guide.
InstructionalLead-In
The clamshell and grapple attachment gives this crane even more versatility.Have a large bolder on the job site and need it moved? No problem with thegrapple attachment, just clamp on to it and put it wherever you want it. With theclamshell attachment you can move dirt piles or excavate in areas where otherequipment is not suitable. You will have the opportunity to use both attachmentswhile here on this phase.
SECTION III. PRESENTATION

Method of Instruction: DemonstrationInstructor to Student Ratio: 1:6
Time of Instruction: 15 minsMedia: Hands-on Instruction
A. Installation of the Clamshell/Grapple attachment.
NOTE: Refer students to TM 5-3810-307-10.
1) The crane must be leveled on its outriggers. The superstructure must beswung over the side of the crane, with the boom all the way down andcentered on the clamshell or grapple, with the hook block on the far side ofthe clamshell or grapple. The clamshell or grapple must be in the openposition.
a) The hook block will be used for the clamshell and grapple operation.
NOTE: Ensure the holding cable is installed so the cable winds and unwindsover the top of the main drum.
B. Installation of the hydraulic lines from the hydraulic boom hose reel.
1) Install the first safety chain to the clamshell/grapple.
NOTE: Always use at least two people when pulling out the boom hose reel.
2) Pull hydraulic lines from the reel to the clamshell/grapple and hook up the firstsafety chain, then slowly release the reel until the hoses are tight.
3) Connect the second safety chain to the clamshell/grapple and attach it to thehydraulic hose.

4) Install the hydraulic hose fittings to the clamshell/grapple hose fittings,ensuring enough slack is left in the clamshell/grapple hoses.
5) Raise the boom to 40 degrees.
6) Telescope the boom out and lower the hoist until the hook block is centereddirectly over the clamshell/grapple.
7) Hoist down until you can hook the hook block to the clamshell/grapple usingthe clevis.
NOTE: If tension on the boom hose reel is released too quickly, the hoses cancause injury to personnel or damage to equipment.
C. Review
NOTE: Conduct a check on learning and summarize the learning activity.
