Safe Operation
The Vibrator Won’t Start!
1. Check for dirt in the airline OR inlet opening.
NOTE: The ports are venturi tubes.
2. Check for dirt or debris clogging the exhaust mufer.
3. Double check the size of your air line - is it large enough to give you the correct cubic feet per
minute (CFM) and correct air pressure (minimum required = 20 PSI)?
4. Double check to see if the air line is connected to the correct port (see #9).
NOTE: Bearings may require a short “break-in” period to run at optimum VPM stated in catalog.
