For coarse materials: mount
vibrator 1/3 of the distance
from the discharge opening to
the top of the sloped portion of
the bin.
For fine materials: mount
vibrator 1/4 of the distance
from the discharge to the top of
the sloped portion of the bin.
FOR ALTERNATE MOUNTS:

1. Coat all fittings with sealing compound
and secure hydraulic hoses to inlet
& outlet sides of motor as marked by
directional arrows.
2. Hook up ball valve on inlet side and
check valve on outlet side to reservoir.
3. Check & tighten all fittings &
connections before test running
vibrator.
4. Hydraulic system MUST have a
filtration system & oil is industrial
petroleum-based oil, SAE 10 to 30,
with wear oxidation and foaming
inhibitors, and a viscosity of 200 SSU.
