Operation, Technical Information & Accessories
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: After maintenance or repairs have been made
observe the following checklist to avoid serious injury:
Check wires (X,Y & Z) to insure there is no continuity between them
and ground (W).
Check wires (X,Y & Z) to insure there is no continuity between
them and steel on head housing.
Check cord for cuts, exposed wires or other conditions which
may cause an electrical hazard.
Check twist lock plug for damage to prongs or plug housing.
Check switch housing for damage or flaws that would allow dirt,
water or foreign objects to enter the housing and produce a short
or dangerous situation.
Check wires to insure there is 5 to 7 ohms across all wires (X,Y & Z).
Check speed (VPM) with tachometer (example: Vibra-Tak).
Check that head moves from left to right when running with the
tip touching floor. If it moves from right to left, swap the #2 & #3
black wires on the head end of the switch.
TO START:
1. Insure that power source corresponds to the frequency &
voltage marked on the nameplate located on switch housing.
2. Push and twist plug to secure into place on power source.
3. Flip the switch to the “ON” position or “I” on the switch housing.
4. After switching the unit “ON”, check that the unit is running
correctly: It should have a high, even pitch if running correctly.
TO STOP:
1. Flip the switch to the “OFF” position or “0” on the switch housing.
OPERATING HINTS:
1. Avoid bending the hose as much as possible at all times.
2. Do not use the vibrator head to spread the concrete.
3. The concrete has been thoroughly vibrated when the surface
around the head is shiny and no large air bubbles rise to the
surface (This normally takes 10 to 20 seconds at each location)
4. Withdraw the head slowly so that the concrete can flow back
into the void left by the head.
5. When finished, clean all concrete off the vibrator.

WIRE WRAPPING OFF THE SWITCH:
The 4 wires running from the head to the switch must be coiled
properly. This is necessary to avoid pulling wires from their
termination points when the protective hose is bent sharply. Wrap
all 4 wires (#16 to #19) around a ½” piece of pipe and push into
switch end of hose. Feed wires through hose before wire wrapping.
GROUNDING ON HEAD:
Insuring a proper ground is essential in safe operation of Wyco
High-Cycle Vibrators. Wyco supplied vibrator heads have a unique
internal ground connection (Page 3 - Grounding Detail). To make
this connection follow these instructions: Cut a 6” section of
16 AWG green wire, strip back insulation and attach terminal ring
(14). To connect inside head bend the round end of the ring 90
degrees up. Guide button head cap screw (15) through terminal
ring. Attach allen wrench to screw while holding the wire (This will
allow you to guide the screw, wire and terminal ring into threaded
area inside the head and tighten). Slide a 2” piece of sleeving (11)
over ground wire and 3.5” piece over 3 other wires into head.
Guide these 4 wires through the 4 holes in strain relief fitting and
secure tightly to head using teflon tape.
