TROUBLESHOOTING
Issue: Shaker will not shake
1. If it is newly installed, there is probably a blockage in the inlet fi�ng (M-243). The user may hear air blowing through the shaker without
it shaking. It is possible that pipe tape may be causing blockage in the air supply. Disconnect the air hose (M-311) inside the shaker at the
motor, and blow the blockage out through the inlet fi�ng. Blockage may cause the shaker to start and then stop, then restart and stop
repeatedly as it sucks the blockage into the system at start up and blows it back out when it is shut off again.
2. If the shaker is two to three months old, check the lubrica�on. While the lubricator (M-318) is removed, squirt a few drops of air tool oil
into the inlet fi�ng (M-243) and start the shaker. A�er a few cycles it should be opera�onal. Rea�ach the lubricator and fill with oil.
Ensure the correct installa�on of the lubricator. Adjust the lubricator by turning the ver�cal line on the drip rate dial clockwise un�l it
stops and then turn it counter clockwise to number 4. The drip rate is preset prior to shipping, it should not have to be adjusted. Check the
O-ring seal around the bowl, replace/adjust as needed.
3. If it is an older shaker, it may need to be rebuilt with a rebuild kit (M-232RK). Test to check the compression by moving the Can Clamp
Assembly (M-315) back and forth to see if there is any resistance in the shake cycle. There should be resistance when moving the can
clamp. If not, a rebuild kit is likely needed. Rebuild kits include instruc�ons to replace seals, o-rings, and other vital components within the
shaker. See page 9 for more informa�on.
4. Check the screw (M-262) in the inlet fi�ng (M-243). It should not be turned down too far. One and a half threads should be visible when
looking into the inlet fi�ng. Turning the screw too far will reduce the air supply and stop the shaker. The speed of the shaker can be
adjusted by turning the inlet fi�ng screw.
Issue: Shaker will not shake a�er being rebuilt.
1. The Can Clamp Assembly (M-315) must be installed onto the Main Sha� (M-270) for the shaker to operate correctly.
2. It is possible the Rebuild Kit (M-232RK) may have been installed incorrectly. Follow the included instruc�ons and review each step.
3. Inspect the Check Valve Discs (M-296 & M-297) to ensure they are not stacked on top of each other. Adjust as necessary.
Note: The exhaust ports are designed to exhaust air, oil, water or whatever else is going through the shaker each �me the piston cycles. It
is working properly when doing so.
Issue: The shaker is noisy
1. Check the Rod End Bearing (M-287). Rotate the Can Clamp Assembly (M-315) un�l the interior Zerk fi�ng (M-272) is visible. Add
lubrica�on to the Zerk Fi�ng in the Housing Assembly's (M-273) hole. Inspect and replace the Rod End Bearing as necessary.
2. Check the Clamp Nuts (M-250 & M-254). Paint build up on the Clamp Frame (M-247) over �me can cause these to loosen from the
Clamp Screw (M-253) and the Jaws (M-244). Clean the Clamp Frame of paint buildup and replace/re-�ghten the Clamp Nuts as necessary.
3. Seal or reseal the shaker to the Pedestal or bench top. Sealing the shaker to its moun�ng surface will prevent 60% of opera�on noises.
4. Check the Shock Bushing (M-263). Cans that are too heavy (+16 lbs) can cause premature wear on the Shock Bushing. Also, too much
air pressure (+150 lbs.) can cause wear. Inspect and replace the Shock Bushing as necessary.
Issue: Smoke/Vapor coming out of the lubrica�on hole in the Housing Assembly (M-273) or oil leaking out of the base of the shaker.
1. The lubricator (M-318) maybe set too high. Adjust the lubricator by turning the ver�cal line on the drip rate dial clockwise un�l it stops
and then turn it counter clockwise to number 4. Seal the shaker to the pedestal or bench top to reduce leaking.
Issue: Broken U-bolt (M-252)
1. The nuts (M-251) have been over �ghtened when the angle of the can clamp has been adjusted. The nuts should have 28 pounds of
torque evenly spread between them.
Issue: User hears air blowing through an older shaker but it does not shake.
1. Check the Piston O-ring (M-265) and the Check Valves (M-296 and/or M-297). Clean and replace as necessary.
