-22 to 104°F (-30 to 40°C). If operating the motor in environments beyond these temperatures, call Martin Engineering, as the vibrator may require rating reduction, more frequent lubrication, or lubrication substitution.
Store vibrator in an ambient temperature not less than 41°F (5°C) with a relative humidity not more than 60%. If the vibrator has been stored for 2 or more years, remove bearings, wash them, and repack them with new grease (see “Maintenance”). ® Martin Engineering M3910-04/19 Martin Electric Vibrators...
Keep any damaged goods subject to examination. 2. Remove vibrator from shipping container/pallet. 3. If anything is missing contact Martin Engineering or a representative. WARNING Turn off and lockout / tagout / blockout / testout all energy sources to conveyor/loading systems to mounting structure.
Locate plate so that vibrator can be positioned as shown in Figure 1. c. Weld mounting plate onto structure. 3. If using Martin W-beam Mount (or equivalent) to mount vibrator onto structure (see Figure 2), do the following: ®...
5. Install vibrator onto mount with new lock nuts, compression washers, and bolts according to Table I. Tighten bolts in order given in Figure 3 to avoid damaging vibrator casting.

5. Connect power supply ground wire (or other if specified in the NEC) to ground vibrator terminal. Use closed loop wire connector only. 6. Reassemble wiring cover, o-ring, and rubber compression block(s), taking care not to pinch the o-ring. Tighten cord grip around supply line(s). ® Martin Engineering M3910-04/19 Martin Electric Vibrators...
Failure to properly interlock motors could result in severe damage to equipment if one vibrator fails. 4. If using two vibrators, interlock the two vibrator motors and install separate overload protection for each. ® Martin Engineering M3910-04/19 Martin Electric Vibrators...
00–10 frame IMPORTANT For the most efficient operation, vibrator eccentric weights should be adjusted to the lowest force setting required to move the material. This will increase vibrator life and reduce energy costs. ® Martin Engineering M3910-04/19 Martin Electric Vibrators...

1. Turn off and lock out/tag out energy source to vibrator according to ANSI standards (see “References”). 2. Remove weight cover (A). 3. Remove nut (B) and washer (C). 4. Adjust weights according to Table IV. 5. Check o-rings for damage. Replace if damaged. ® Martin Engineering M3910-04/19 Martin Electric Vibrators...
1. Turn off and lockout / tagout / blockout / testout energy source to vibrator according to ANSI standards (see “References”). 2. Remove weight cover. 3. Loosen socket head cap screw (A, Figure 10) so adjustable weight (B) will rotate around shaft (C). ® Martin Engineering M3910-04/19 Martin Electric Vibrators...

When set, tighten socket head cap screw according to Table II. 5. Check o-rings for damage. Replace if damaged. CAUTION Do not operate vibrator with weight covers removed. Dust accumulating around vibrator shaft could cause unit to fail. 6. Replace weight covers. ® Martin Engineering M3910-04/19 Martin Electric Vibrators...
After making adjustments, check line current again to ensure line current does not exceed nameplate rating. ® Martin Engineering M3910-04/19 Martin Electric Vibrators...
If necessary, adjust inverter, reduce eccentric weight setting, stiffen vibrator mount location, or move vibrator to more rigid location. After making adjustment, check line current again to ensure line current does not exceed nameplate rating. ® Martin Engineering M3910-04/19 Martin Electric Vibrators...
212°F (100°C), consult Martin Engineering or a representative. NOTE Kluber grease may be purchased from Martin Engineering by calling 800-544-2947. 3. For MM9, MM12, and MM18 model vibrators, lubricate frame size 35 and larger vibrators with Kluber Staburags NBU 8EP grease only.
If you attempt to do so during the warranty period, bearings the warranty may be void. If vibrator motor needs repair or if bearings need to be replaced, call Martin Engineering at 800-544-2947 for instructions. Inspecting At least quarterly, inspect vibrator, cable, and connections as follows:...
