Securing Vibrator to GCL Bracket
Attach the vibrator to the cradle lug bracket by
placing the tab at the base of the vibrator under
the bar on the end of bracket. Rotate the vibrator
towards the bracket until it is fully seated. Rotate
the bracket bolt until it fits between the two fingers
on the vibrator housing and secure it using the
cradle lug nut. Use a standard open-end or box
wrench to tightened. Repeated tightening with an
air wrench will eventually cause excessive wear to
the fingers on the vibrator housing.
Mounting on Truck Bed
Weld GCL bracket to an independent channel
iron. The GCL vibrator inserts quickly into bracket.
Locate the channel iron as close as possible to the
material flow problem area.
