Dawson EMV 550, Owner'S Manual

Page: 13 / 63

The excavator hydraulic power output must be matched to the requirements of the vibratorbefore
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 EMV550.
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.
