314V Series

Connecting the Flexible Shaft and Vibrating Head

Perform the following instructions to attach the flexible shaft to
the vibrator, reference Figure 7:

Remove the female “Quick Disconnect” (Q.D.) coupler and
spindle shaft (female) from the parts bag. Note: The QD
coupler and spindle shaft for the 314V Series are sold
separately.

Screw the spindle shaft onto the male end of the flexible
shaft. Tighten securely.

Screw the QD coupling onto the male end of the flexible
shaft. Tighten securely.

Pull up on the Q.D. locking knob and insert the Q.D. coupler
into the eccentric end bell assembly.

382V Series

Connecting the Flexible Shaft and Vibrating Head

Perform the following instructions to attach the flexible shaft to
the vibrator, reference Figure 7:

Remove the male “Quick Disconnect” (Q.D.) coupler and
spindle shaft (male) from the parts bag. Note: the QD coupler
and spindle shaft for the 382V Series are included with the
motor.

Screw the spindle shaft into the female end of the flexible
shaft. Tighten securely.

Screw the QD coupling into the female end of the flexible
shaft. Tighten securely.

Pull up on the Q.D. locking knob and insert the Q.D. coupler
into the eccentric end bell assembly.

Attach the vibrating head to the other end of the flexible
shaft. It is recommended the use of a small amount of pipe
thread sealant (Loctite No.271) on the flexible shaft casing
coupling threads to prevent water from entering the vibrator
head.

Applying Loctite

When applying loctite to the flexible shaft casing threads, perform
the following:

1. Clean the mating connector or coupler threads with Loctite

Primer “T”.

2. Allow to dry several minutes before applying a ring of Loctite

No.271 to the middle of the flexible shaft casing threads.

3. Screw the head tightly to the flexible shaft casing and wait

for 1 hour before using. The threads are left hand, turn
counterclockwise to tighten. An equivalent brand of
anaerobic sealant may be used.

BP-25H CE GASOLINE VIBRATOR — HEAD AND SHAFT CONNECTIONS

Follow the instructions below when connecting the flexible shaft,
vibrator head, and vibrator, before using the BP-25H CE.

When

rubber

vibrator heads are used,

it is advised to place a protective sleeve
over the flexible shaft casing coupler.

This will protect epoxy coated rebar
from being damaged. See proceeding

pages in this manual for the

“Protective Sleeve”

installation

instructions.

GREASING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Before installing a new flexshaft assembly, pull out the core

and lightly grease before first use. Place a handful of clean
grease (use Shell Durina EP2 high- temperature, high-
pressure grease or equivalent) in a shop cloth and slide the
clean core through grease as you feed it back into the shaft
housing.

2. After every job, or every 50 hours, the shaft should be

disassembled, cleaned, inspected, lubricated, and
reassembled.

NOTE

Disassembly Instructions (use protective leather gloves)

1. Remove motor from shaft.

2. Pull core from shaft housing. The head does not need to be

removed unless it also requires servicing.

3. As the core is removed, slide it through a clean shop cloth to

wipe off old grease. Keep it clean and off the ground or floor.

4. After inspecting the core for obvious damage, place a handful

of clean grease (use Shell Durina EP2 high- temperature,
high-pressure grease or equivalent) in a shop cloth and
slide the clean core through grease as you feed it back into
the shaft housing. This will lightly coat the core. Do not
overgrease. As the square end of the core approaches the
head, turn slightly to engage drive adapter inside the head
while continuing to push it towards the head.

5. Install motor to shaft assembly and securely tighten nut.

6. Test run the motor and check head vibration. Do not run

longer than one or two minutes when in the air (not in concrete
mix).
