WaRnIng
 neVeR attempt to run the core outside the casing
assembly for any reason.
NOTICE
 DO nOT allow fl exshaft to kink.
 Check fl exshaft for cuts, cracks or abrasions. Replace
fl ex-shaft imediately if defective.
 Make sure the correct shaft is in use for the job. Selecting
too large a head/shaft combination will overloading the
power unit.
 When transporting fl exshaft on jobsite neVeR drag
fl ex-shaft on ground.
 aLWayS make certain vibrator power unit is OFF before
connecting fl exshaft.
 Apply anaerobic sealant to shaft threads when required.
 Only use fl exshaft to power vibrator heads.
 Grease flexshaft as recommended in maintenance
section. DO nOT over-pack with grease. A tightly packed
casing will put a heavy load on power unit, which could
cause the power unit to over heat.

head casing for signs of wear. Replace head if measured
diameter is less than minimum wear diameter referenced
in maintance section.
 After each use, remove any concrete , debris or foreign
matter that may have accumulated on the head. Wipe
clean with a soft cloth.
