 2.   Place the flexible drive with installed quick disconnect fitting up to the quick  
    disconnect on the motor drive. Be sure the core engages in the motor drive.  
    Turn the large hand nut counter clockwise until tight (hand nut has left  
    hand threads to insure it will remain tight while operating the system).

  3.  Before attaching the head, check the length of core    
    extending from the head end of the flex drive. If this 
    length is greater than 2-3/4”, twist the core while 
    pushing it into the casing to make sure it is fully seated  
    in the motor. If the exposed core is greater than 2-3/4”  
    when it is fully seated in the motor it may bind and   
    cause damage to the core, casing, or head.  Do not use  
    the system. Contact your dealer or Global Manufacturing at 1-800-551-3569. 

  4.  To attach the head to the flex drive, be sure the core engages the drive
    coupling in the head. First apply two layers of Teflon® tape to the casing  
    threads then tighten the head in a clockwise direction. Use a crescent wrench  
    on the machined flats on the head and channel locks or a small pipe wrench  
    on the casing fitting to make sure the connection is secure.

  5.  Use only fresh unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 

86

 or higher.  

    Do not over fill tank.

III. Operation 

3.

Do NOT leave out the Teflon® tape! It is required to provide a watertight 

seal between the various components of your vibrator system and pre-

vents the connections from coming loose during operation. If Teflon® 

tape or a similar sealant is not used, the components can be damaged by water that pen-

etrates this connection, or the components can come apart and be lost in the concrete.

CAUTION

WARNING

Improperly maintaining the engine, or failing to correct a problem before 

operation, could cause malfunction in which you could be seriously 

injured.

Always perform an inspection and correct any problems found before starting engine.

WARNING

Always wear ear & eye protection, gloves and heavy boots when oper-

ating the backpack system
