SVA-SERIES — SILICOSIS/RESPIRATORYWARNINGS  
WARNING WARNING  
SILICOSIS WARNING  
RESPIRATORY HAZARDS  
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and  
other materials with silica in their composition may give  
off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a  
basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and  
numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or  
substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can  
cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including  
silicosis. In addition, California and some other  
authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a  
substance known to cause cancer. When cutting such  
materials, always follow the respiratory precautions  
mentioned above.  
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and  
other materials can generate dust, mists and fumes  
containing chemicals known to cause serious or fatal  
injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer,  
birth defects or other reproductive harm. If you are  
unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular  
process and/or material being cut or the composition of  
the tool being used, review the material safety data  
sheet and/or consult your employer, the material  
manufacturer/supplier, governmental agencies such as  
OSHA and NIOSH and other sources on hazardous  
materials. California and some other authorities, for  
instance, have published lists of substances known to  
cause cancer, reproductive toxicity, or other harmful  
effects.  
Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where  
possible. In this regard use good work practices and  
follow the recommendations of the manufacturers or  
suppliers, OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade  
associations. Water should be used for dust  
suppression when wet cutting is feasible. When the  
hazards from inhalation of dust, mists and fumes cannot  
be eliminated, the operator and any bystanders should  
always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for  
the materials being used.

SVA-SERIES — PREPARATION  
Before using your Vibrator Motor, read and  
fully understand all of the safety and  
operating instructions not only for the motor,  
but also for the flexible shafting and the head  
that will be used with the motor.  
WARNING  
MAKE CERTAIN the motor is disconnected from the power  
source and the switch is in the "OFF" position.  
4. Slide the core out of the casing far enough to thread the  
spindle (Item 3 Fig. 4) into the core fitting and tighten. A pair  
of pliers and a wrench can be used to tighten the connection.  
It is important that this connection is tight. If it is not, the  
torque of the motor plus the load of the head will jam the two  
fittings together making it extremely hard to loosen them for  
disassembly.  
1.  
2.  
The vibrator motor, flexible shafting, and heads are shipped  
from the factory ready to use. Connect per instruction  
bulletins.  
Use only the combination of flexible shafting and heads  
shown below in Table 3.

SVA-SERIES — OPERATION  
SVA SeriesVibrator Motor Familiarization  
This VIBRATOR MOTOR is designed for the compaction of  
concrete by removal of air pockets and voids.  
The action of vibration is to set the particles in the fresh concrete  
in motion, thereby reducing the friction between the particles  
and giving the mixture the mobile quality of a thick fluid so gravity  
and the displacement of entrapped air will cause it to settle easily  
into place.  
By consolidating the concrete quickly, "stiffer" or "drier" mixes  
can be poured than would otherwise be possible. It has been  
proven that (up to a point) the drier the concrete, (that is, the less  
water in it), the better the quality throughout and the greater the  
strength.  
Figure 5. Compaction Coverage  
with 50% Radial Overlap  
Drier mixes also make the concrete more water tight, increase  
resistance to weathering, and create a better bond between  
concrete and reinforcement. Because vibration causes much of  
the entrapped air in the concrete to rise to the surface,  
honeycombing is prevented. Vibration also eliminates most of  
the air pockets between the concrete and the vertical forms.

7. Immerse the head for 5 to 10 seconds, (until air stops rising),  
and then withdraw it slowly to let the concrete fill the void left  
by the head.  
SVA-SERIESVIBRATOR MOTOR OPERATION  
Read all the safety instructions carefully.Safety instructions will  
be found throughout this manual and on theVibrator Motor. Keep  
all safety information in good, readable condition.  
8. The head shoud be completely below the surface when  
vibrating to keep the head cool.  
1. Make certain that the flexible shaft is properly attached to  
the motor and the head to the flexible shaft.  
9. When vibrating a thin horizontal slab, the head can be used  
in a horizontal position.  
2. Use the flexible shaft in as straight a position as possible.  
3. DO NOT bend the flexible shaft sharply at any point. Sharp  
bends may cause a permanent kink, requiring early  
replacement of the flexible shaft.  
4. With the vibrator motor properly  
plugged into the correct power source,  
turn the ON/OFF switch to the "ON"  
position and proceed to insert the  
vibrator into the concrete.  
5. The concrete is normally placed in the forms in layers about  
12 to 18 inches thick in a manner which forms a fairly level  
surface.The vibrator head is inserted vertically into the top  
of the pile  
.
6. DO NOT insert the head into the side of the pile to make the  
concrete flow as this practice can cause segregation of the  
aggregate from the mortar.When the surface has become  
fairly level, the head the should be immersed and generally  
moved in the pattern shown in Figure 5.
