Operation And Safety Decals
The MQ/STOW G-55H Gasoline Vibrator is equipped with a number of operation and safety decals (Figure 1). These decals
are provided for operator safety and maintenance information. Should any of these decals become unreadable, replacements
can be obtained from your dealer.

PAGE 10 — G-55H GASOLINE VIBRATOR — OPERATION & PARTS MANUAL — REV. #0 (03/07/06)
G-55H GASOLINE VIBRATOR — GENERAL INFORMATION
General Information
The G-55H Gasoline Vibrator employs a 5.5 HP Honda engine.
It comes standard with a quick-disconnect coupling and an
eccentric belt tensioner.
The G-55H power unit utilizes a sturdy frame which enables
the engine to operate in a 360° rotation.
When operating the vibrator always wear rubber insulated
gloves and boots. Safety glasses are also recommended.
Theory Of Concrete Vibration
This G-55H vibrator is designed for the
concrete by removal of air pockets and voids.
The purpose of vibration is to set the particles in the fresh
concrete in motion, thereby reducing the friction between
the particles and giving the mixture the mobile quality of a
thick fluid so that gravity and the displacement of entrapped
air will cause it to settle easily into place.
By consolidating the concrete quickly, "stiffer" or "drier" mixes

■
Keep the bending radius of the flexible hose to a minimum
during use.
■
Avoid starting the unit with the vibrator head immersed in the
concrete mix. After the engine has started, immerse the vibrator
head into concrete mix.
■
Excessive wear to the vibrating head can result from misuse.
DO NOT allow the head to vibrate against already hardened
concrete or steel used in reinforcement.
■
NEVER drop or knock the vibrator head against any hard
objects. This will prevent any damage the eccentric or bearings
contain within the head.
is, the less water in it), the better the quality throughout and
the greater the strength. Drier mixes also make the concrete
more water tight, increase resistance to weathering, and
create a better bond between concrete and reinforcement.
Because vibration causes much of the entrapped air in the
concrete to rise to the surface, honeycombing is prevented.
Also, vibration eliminates most of the air pockets between
the concrete and the vertical forms.

1. Start the engine as previously described and procede to
insert the vibrator head into the concrete.
2. The concrete is normally placed into the forms in layers
about 12 to 18 inches thick in a manner which forms a
fairly level surface. The vibrator head is inserted
vertically into the top of the pile.
3. When the surface has become fairly level, the vibrator
head then should be immersed and generally moved in
the pattern shown in (Figure 14).

Use the flexible shaft in as straight a position as possible
and do not bend the flexible shaft sharply at any point. Sharp
bends may cause a permanent kink, requiring early
replacement of the flexible shaft.
If the shaft begins to helix (buckle) excessively during
operation, stop and investigate. This is an indication of an
overload condition.
The vibrator head is cooled by the concrete. Operation
of the vibrator head in air longer than 2 minutes will
cause overheating of the bearings which result in
premature head failure.
