MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS CHECKLIST
Important Safety Instructions
When installing vibrator, make sure that the rotary motion of the vibrator is in the direction of ow (the
length of the vibrators body should be 90 degrees or perpendicular to the direction of ow). Secure
one end of vibrator to the mounting plate using one or two bolts (depending on the model). If mounting
plate is warped or bent due to welding, shim the opposite end of vibrator (over-shim slightly) and tighten
remaining mounting bolt(s) to 260 ft-lbs. Remove end cover on vibrator and spin shaft with nger, it
should spin freely - if not, re-shim vibrator (does not apply to DC-60, DC-500, or DC-3500). Retighten the
bolts after the rst 10-15 minutes of running, then check them periodically for tightness. When mounting
the DC-3500 secure vibrator with one bolt (use Loctite 242 or equal), and lock washer. Shim opposite foot
(overshim slightly), then tighten other bolt.
Note: A loose vibrator can cause damage to the bin and may also get electrically overloaded, which
could cause motor burnout. Be sure to install a safety chain or cable to vibrator. Adhere to any other local,
state or federal safety codes that may apply.
For no weld, bolt on installations contact the technical service department at VIBCO
at 1-800- 633-0032.
□ Determine the length of the channel iron.
□ Select thickness of vibrator mounting plate and method of mounting.
□ STITCH Weld mounting plate to channel iron.
□ Determine where vibrator should be placed on the bin.
□ STITCH Weld channel iron to bin.

Flat Bed Dump Trucks and Tandem Trailers
The vibrator should be located underneath the body, preferably 1/4 the body length from the
front, or as close to this as possible, and centered between sills or main beams (see Figures 1 &
2). Check to make sure the vibrator clears hydraulic tanks, gas tanks etc., when the body is in
the down position. It is important to reinforce the truck body so it will be able to take the vibration
created without causing damage. For large dump body trucks, the easiest and most effective
way to mount the vibrator is to weld a 4 in. channel iron over at least three cross members. Weld
vibrator mounting plate onto the channel iron, positioning the mounting plate on the channel iron
over a stiffener (see Figure 3). For small dump body trucks, weld a 6 in. channel between cross
members and to body (skip weld to body), and weld the vibrator mounting plate to the middle
of the channel iron (see Figure 5). For aluminum body trucks, use an aluminum channel and
weld it over at least three cross members, and weld an aluminum vibrator mounting plate to the
middle of the channel iron, over the middle of a stiffener (see Figures 2 & 3). On front mounted
telescopic hoist bodies, locate vibrator just outside either one of the long members.

ADJUSTING ECCENTRICS
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Duty Cycle
VIBCO’s 12 and 24 volt DC vibrators are rated for either continuous, intermittent or limited
intermittent duty.
Models DC-20, DC-60, DC-100, DC-200, DC-300, DC-450 and DC-500 are rated for continuous
duty. Be sure to use a continuous duty solenoid (VIBCO part number 1500PF56).
Models DC-700, DC-900 and DC-1600 are rated for intermittent duty. Running time for these
vibrators should not exceed 30 minutes in any 60 minute period. Continuous duty solenoids
(VIBCO part number SW-266) should be used with these units. Drilling holes in the end covers to
provide the unit with ventilation can increase the duty cycle. The duty cycle must be determined
in each particular application. A temperature test of the eld casing can help to determine the
duty cycle. Temperature should not exceed 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Longer duty cycles can
considerably decrease brush life, and VIBCO’s liability under the warranty does not cover duty
cycles longer than those stated above.
Models DC-3500 and DC-5000 are rated for limited intermittent duty only. Maximum continuous
running time should not exceed 30 seconds, with a minimum of one (1) minute off time. Total
running time in any 60 minute period is 20 minutes.
Lubrication
All DC vibrator bearings are pre-lubricated to last for the life of the vibrator.
Setting 3 Setting 2 Setting 1
Models DC-20, 50, 60, 450, 500, 700 have a xed force settings and cannot be adjusted. DC-
100 has a single end for adjustment as shown below. DC-200, DC-300, DC-900 and DC-1600
have eccentrics on both ends of the motor. Setting 3 is the maximum and is the rated force
output. Setting 2 is the standard and is approximately 2/3 of the maximum force output. Setting
1 is approximately 1/2 of the maximum force output.
To change the eccentric setting, remove both end covers and the eccentric screws, place the
eccentrics at the desired setting and replace the screws and end covers (see example) Be sure
to set the eccentric on both sides of the vibrator to the same setting (see Figures 20 & 21).

The electrical hook-up consists of two circuits, a master circuit and a pilot circuit (except DC-20,
see previous page). The master circuit supplies the motor with current and must be able to carry
the vibrators rated amperage. The pilot circuit is the controlling circuit, and carries only a small
current between the switch on the dashboard and the solenoid, connecting or disconnecting
the master circuit. The supplies needed for hooking up each model are listed on the previous
page.
Mount the solenoid in a convenient location. Note that the solenoid grounds through its body, so
make sure that it is mounted to a well grounded surface.
Cut off enough large cable to run from the vibrator to one of the solenoids large terminals. On
dump bodies, be sure to guide cable around the pivot so that it will not be pinched by the beds
movement.
Run the balance of the large cable from the other large terminal to the positive battery terminal (if
the truck is grounded from the positive terminal, connect cable to the negative battery terminal).
Select a convenient location on the truck dashboard for the switch. Using the small cable,
connect one terminal on the switch to the small terminal on the solenoid (on solenoids with two
small terminals, connect to the terminal marked “S”). Run another length of small cable from the
other switch terminal to a power source. This cable can be connected to the ignition switch, so
that when the ignition is turned off, the vibrator cannot be operated (see gure 1).

OVERLOAD CIRCUIT BREAKER INSTALLATION
For DC-3500 “Big Bertha” Dump Body Vibrators
The CB12V (gure 22) thermal overload circuit breakers are designed to be used in the main
circuit of VIBCO’s DC-3500 dump body vibrator to prevent operators from running the vibrator
in excess of its maximum continuous running time of 30 seconds, which can cause premature
failure. By wiring a push button to a fused ignition controlled power source, vibrator cannot be
operated unless ignition switch is on.
