1. Be sure steps 1-11 are complete before starting vibrator. Missing
a step can cause vibrator failure & void warranty.
2. Always check pressure to & from vibrator with a pressure gauge.
If inlet pressure exceeds 1200psi (82 bar) or outlet pressure
exceeds 30psi (2 bar) check for restrictive fittings or increase
hose size. Be sure case drain is hooked up as a return to
reservoir. For Model’s B outlet should be directly connected to
the oil reservoir and carry NO back pressure.
3. Do a quick inspection of hydraulic oil. If dark or thick, replace
with new oil.
4. Inspect structure for cracks or fatigue and repair if any are found.
5. Run unit for 5-10 seconds & check all fittings for leaks.
WARNING!
HYDRAULIC OIL UNDER PRESSURE CAN PENETRATE SKIN
AND RESULT IN INJECTION POISONING. IF OIL PENETRATES SKIN CONSULT
WITH A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY!
CHECK LINE PRESSURE
Always check pressure to & from
vibrator with a pressure gauge.
Insert gauge in-line with the vibrator
before & after the inlet/outlet.
If inlet pressure exceeds 1200psi
(82 bar) or outlet pressure exceeds
30psi (2 bar) check for restrictive
fittings or increase hose size.

TROUBLESHOOTING
LEAKING OIL?
1. Check tightness of all hydraulic fittings.
2. Be sure the check valve is installed in the proper direction with the flow of
hydraulic oil.
3. Check outlet line pressure (panel 12). If outlet line pressure is over 30psi
case drain hose to reservoir MUST be installed.
4. End cover leaks on B-Series vibrator is a result of high oil pressure.
Check castings for cracks & contact VIBCO immediately.
5. If shaft seals are leaking on H-Series vibrator contact VIBCO for
replacement kit & instructions. Shaft seal failure is due to excessive back
pressure & case drain MUST be installed.
