SVA-SERIES — SILICOSIS/RESPIRATORY WARNINGS
WARNING
SILICOSIS WARNING RESPIRATORY HAZARDS
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and
other materials with silica in their composition may give
off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a
basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and
numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or
substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can
cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including
silicosis. In addition, California and some other
authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a
substance known to cause cancer. When cutting such
materials, always follow the respiratory precautions
mentioned above.
WARNING
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and
other materials can generate dust, mists and fumes
containing chemicals known to cause serious or fatal
injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. If you are
unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular
process and/or material being cut or the composition of
the tool being used, review the material safety data
sheet and/or consult your employer, the material
manufacturer/supplier, governmental agencies such as
OSHA and NIOSH and other sources on hazardous
materials. California and some other authorities, for
instance, have published lists of substances known to
cause cancer, reproductive toxicity, or other harmful
effects.
Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where
possible. In this regard use good work practices and
follow the recommendations of the manufacturers or
suppliers, OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade
associations. Water should be used for dust
suppression when wet cutting is feasible. When the
hazards from inhalation of dust, mists and fumes cannot
be eliminated, the operator and any bystanders should
always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for
the materials being used.

MAKE CERTAIN the motor is disconnected from the power
source and the switch is in the "OFF" position.
4. Slide the core out of the casing far enough to thread the
spindle (Item 3 Fig. 4) into the core fitting and tighten. A pair
of pliers and a wrench can be used to tighten the connection.
It is important that this connection is 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 (Item 2 Fig. 4) 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 the lock groove of 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 the casing threads.
Screw the head tightly to the casing and wait 1 hour before
using. Threads are

SVA Series Vibrator Motor Familiarization
SVA-SERIES — OPERATION
VIBRATOR MOTOR
This
concrete by removal of air pockets and voids.
The action 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 gravity
and the displacement of entrapped air will cause it to settle easily
into place.
By 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. Vibration also eliminates most of
the air pockets between the concrete and the vertical forms.
SVA-SERIES VIBRATOR MOTOR OPERATION
Read
all the safety instructions carefully. Safety instructions will
be found throughout this manual and on the Vibrator Motor. Keep
all safety information in good, readable condition.
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 as possible.

7. Immerse the head for 5 to 10 seconds, (until air stops rising),
and then withdraw it slowly to let the concrete fill the void left
by the head.
8. The head shoud be completely below the surface when
vibrating to keep the head cool.
9. When vibrating a thin horizontal slab, the head can be used
in a horizontal position.

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.
4. With the vibrator motor properly
plugged into the correct power source,
turn the ON/OFF switch to the "ON"
position and proceed to insert the
vibrator into the concrete.
5. The concrete is normally placed in 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
6. DO NOT insert the head into the side of the pile to make the
concrete flow as this practice can cause segregation of the
aggregate from the mortar. When the surface has become
fairly level, the head the should be immersed and generally
moved in the pattern shown in Figure 5.

5. After the spring housing is removed, use a 3-jaw bearing
puller to remove the bronze wear bushing, (item 7).
6. To install a new bronze wear bushing, first align the hole in
the new bushing with the spring housing hole. Press the
bushing straight and evenly into place using a block of
wood or soft aluminum and a mallet. Bushing should be
flush with the end of the shaft when fully seated.
7. Clean all old threadlock from the spring housing and apply
new threadlock (Loctite blue 242 or equivalent).
8. Screw the spring housing firmly into place using channel
lock style pliers with soft jaws.
