4.0 MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: The excavator hydraulic power output must be matched to the requirements of the vibrator
before installation. A standard excavator enquiry sheet is available for the user to
complete prior to considering the suitability of the excavator for use with the EMV300.
4.1 Mounting the Vibrator
The vibrator is mounted in place of the excavator's bucket, and should be allowed to
hang freely once installed. Remove the bucket prior to installing the EMV.
A shear pin is used to fix the vibrator to the boom via an adaptor bracket. Different
adaptor brackets may be required for different excavators. Check this prior to the start
of installation. If the excavator is fitted with a quick hitch it will either be necessary to
remove it or purchase half a quick hitch and modify to suit the Dawson adaptor bracket.
Standard brackets are available for different machine size ranges. Typically, one of
these brackets can be adapted to fit a variety of different pin sizes and dipper end
widths by using a kit of bushes and spacers.
