NOTE:
1. Longer channel iron will not affect vibrator performance, but
total channel length should not exceed length of bin wall.
2. Percentages shown indicate % of bin wall height your channel iron
should be for shorter bins.
3. To match your vibrator on chart above, model number sufxes
generally correspond to pounds of force generated. See chart (box 3).
MOUNTING PLATES, CHANNEL IRON & ACCESSORIES AVAILABLE FROM VIBCO OR LOCAL DEALER
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 ne materials: mount
vibrator 1/4 of the distance
from the discharge to the top of
the sloped portion of the bin.
FOR ALTERNATE MOUNTS: refer to full detail instruction manual online
at www.vibco.com or call 800-633-0032
A MOUNTING PLATE MUST BE USED
to ensure proper stability for the vibrator.
Always start & stop welds 1 in. from ends to
prevent heat
concentration.
Then weld 2 to
3 inches, skip
1 to 2 inches
and repeat
until the plate
is securely
mounted.
NO! YES!
MOUNTING PLATE MUST BE MOUNTED
PARALLEL TO CHANNEL IRON, NOT
PERPENDICULAR. OTHERWISE, IT WILL CAUSE

1. Coat all ttings with sealing compound and
secure hydraulic hoses to inlet & outlet sides
of motor as marked by directional arrows.
2. Hook up ow valve on inlet side, check valve
on outlet side & case drain hose back to
reservoir.
3. Check & tighten all ttings & connections
before test running vibrator.
4. Hydraulic system MUST have a ltration

1. Be sure steps 1-11 are complete before starting vibrator. Missing
a step can cause vibrator failure & void warranty.
2. Always check pressure to & from vibrator with a pressure gauge.
If inlet pressure exceeds 1200psi (82 bar) or outlet pressure
exceeds 30psi (2 bar) check for restrictive ttings or increase
hose size. Be sure case drain is hooked up as a return to
reservoir. For Model’s B outlet should be directly connected to
the oil reservoir and carry NO back pressure.
3. Do a quick inspection of hydraulic oil. If dark or thick, replace
with new oil.
4. Inspect structure for cracks or fatigue and repair if any are found.
5. Run unit for 5-10 seconds & check all ttings for leaks.
WARNING! HYDRAULIC OIL UNDER PRESSURE CAN PENETRATE SKIN
AND RESULT IN INJECTION POISONING. IF OIL PENETRATES SKIN CONSULT
WITH A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY!
CHECK LINE PRESSURE
Always check pressure to & from
vibrator with a pressure gauge.
Insert gauge in-line with the vibrator
before & after the inlet/outlet.
If inlet pressure exceeds 1200psi
(82 bar) or outlet pressure exceeds
30psi (2 bar) check for restrictive
ttings or increase hose size.

13 MAINTENANCE
Check tightness of
mounting bolts every
200 hours or every
month of operation.
Check tightness of
all hydraulic hoses
and connections.
Inspect hydraulic oil
on a periodic basis. If
dark or thick replace
with new oil.
Check structure for cracking
or fatiguing. If found, repair
before running unit. Call
VIBCO for instructions to
repair fatigue cracking.
14 TROUBLESHOOTING
LEAKING OIL?
1. Check tightness of all hydraulic ttings.
2. Be sure the check valve is installed in the proper direction with the ow of
hydraulic oil.
3. Check outlet line pressure (panel 12). If outlet line pressure is over 30psi
case drain hose to reservoir MUST be installed.
4. End cover leaks on B-Series vibrator is a result of high oil pressure.
Check castings for cracks & contact VIBCO immediately.
5. If shaft seals are leaking on H-Series vibrator contact VIBCO for
replacement kit & instructions. Shaft seal failure is due to excessive back
pressure & case drain MUST be installed.
