Use a protection wiring device, such as a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter, for the protection of personnel.
■
This concrete vibrator motor (230V) is equipped with a 3conductor cord, and a 3-prong grounding type plug to fit the
proper grounding type receptacle. The green conductor in
the cord is the ground wire. NEVER connect the green wire
to a live terminal. See (Figure 1) for proper grounding
methods. (230V ONLY)
Figure 1. Grounding Methods (230V) Typical
3.Use of extension cords.
■
MAKE CERTAIN the power cord/extension cord is free
from damage, and that the grounding circuit is
operational. Repair or replace all damaged cords and
grounding units.
■
When extending the cord, MAKE CERTAIN not to
submerge the connection in water. To avoid the
possiblility of electric shock, water-tight connections
should always be made.
■
Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor
use and so marked.
■
Use only the gauge wire and length of cord
recommended for the motor size. If in doubt, go to the
next heavier gauge. (The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.)

SV-SERIES VIBRATOR MOTOR—PREPARATION & OPERATION
Before using your Vibrator Motor, read and
fully understand all of the safety and
operating instructions not only for the motor,
but also for the flexible shafting and the head
that will be used with the motor.
1.The vibrator motor, flexible shafting, and heads are shipped
from the factory ready to use. Connect per instruction
bulletins.
2.Use only the combination of flexible shafting and heads
shown below in Table 3.

4.Slide the core out of the casing far enough to thread the
spindle (p/n 25013-001) into the core fitting and tighten. A
pair of pliers and a wrench can be used to tighten
theconnection. It is important that this connection be tight. If
it is not, the torque of the motor plus the load of the head will
jam the two fittings together making it extremely hard to
loosen them for disassembly.
5.Thread the shaft coupling (P/N 24372-001) into the casing
ferrule and tighten.
6.Pull up on the lock pin and slide the shaft assembly into the
front motor bearing housing and release the lock pin. Give
the shaft assembly a twist to make sure that the lock pin is
seated in one of the 3 tapered holes in the shaft coupling.
7.Clean the mating parts threads with Locquic Primer "T".
Allow to dry several minutes before applying a ring of Loctite
No. 271 or equivalent to the middle of thecasing threads.
Screw the head tightly to the casing and wait 1 hour before
using. Threads are left-hand; turn counter-clockwise to
tighten.

By thus consolidating the concrete quickly, "stiffer" or "drier" mixes
can be poured than would otherwise be possible. It has been
proven that (up to a point) the drier the concrete, (that 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.

9.When vibrating a thin horizontal slab, the head can be used
in a horizontal position.
1.Make certain that the flexible shaft is properly attached to
the motor and the head to the flexible shaft.
2.Use the flexible shaft in as straight a position aspossible.
3.DO NOT bend the flexible shaft sharply at any point. Sharp
bends may cause a permanent kink, requiring early
replacement of the flexible shaft.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION!CAUTION!
CAUTION!
CAUTION!CAUTION!
Before performing any maintenace on this unit,
ALWAYS MAKE CERTAIN that the switch is
in the "OFF" position and the power cord is
disconnected from the power source.
This is a universal motor and it will run at approximately its rated
speed if the motor and its attached equipment are properly
operated and maintained.
1.Have repair work performed by an authorized service
facility, using identical or manufacturer approved
replacement parts.
2.This motor uses sealed bearings and does not require
lubrication.
3.Visually inspect the motor daily before use for defective or
missing parts, and have repairs made before use.
4.Inspect brushes frequently and replace when they become
worn to a length of 3/8".
5.Keep air inlet and air exit louvers clean and free of concrete
and debris. Failure to do so will result in rapid motor
overheating and parts failure.
6.Clean air filter as needed. If unit is used in high dust areas,
filter will have to be cleaned more often.
7.Use wrench to tighten brush caps. The brush cap must be
tight enough that the brush holder does not move.
8.Should complete disassembly of the motor become
necessary, it will be much easier if all internal components
are built into (Left) housing half P/N 29944-302. Using the
exploded view as a guide, place the anti-rotation pin side
of the field into the slot provided in the -302 housing. See
the end of the maintenance section for proper field
orientation. This anti-rotation pin along with the armature
bearing housings will help align the entire motor. Next,
place (Right) housing half P/N 29944-301 down on top of
the -302 half and snap them together, (the lip around the
housing should "pop" as it aligns). Holding the assembled
halves tightly, flip the entire unit over so that the screws can
be inserted.
10.Vibrator heads should be inspected and relubricated every
100 hours of operation. Follow the instructions for vibrator
heads.
Heat should be used to break down the loctite
while you unthread the head from the shaft.
This will prevent possible damage to the
threads from the loctite.
Field Orientation (Figure 5) (when viewed from the rear of
the motor)
1.The field should be positioned so the wires coming out of
the field are have 3 wires coming out of the upper field
shoe and one wire coming out of the lower field shoe.
2.The 2 long leads from the upper shoe should be routed
through the housing to the switch.
3.The third shorter lead from the upper shoe should be
connected to the right-hand brush holder when viewed
from the rear of the motor.
4. The single lead from the lower shoe should be connected
to the left -hand brush holder when viewed from the rear of
the motor.
5.After assembling complete motor, check the direction of
shaft rotation. When viewed from the front or drive end of
the motor the shaft should turn in a counter-clockwise
direction.
NOTE
Specification and part number
are subject to change without
notice.
9.The 382V flexible shaft requires cleaning and relubrication
every 100 hours of operation. Refer to 382V flexible shafting
operating instructions for maintenance instructions.
