BP-25H CE GASOLINEVIBRATOR — HEAD AND SHAFT CONNECTIONS
Follow the instructions below when connecting the flexible shaft, vibrator head, and vibrator, before using the
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.
314V Series
Connecting the Flexible Shaft and Vibrating Head
Perform the following instructions to attach the flexible shaft to the vibrator, reference Figure 7:
nRemove 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.
oScrew the spindle shaft onto the male end of the flexible shaft.Tighten securely.
pScrew the QD coupling onto the male end of the flexible shaft.Tighten securely.
qPull up on the Q.D.locking knob and insert the Q.D.coupler into the eccentric end bell assembly.
rAttach 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.
382V Series
Connecting the Flexible Shaft and Vibrating Head
Perform the following instructions to attach the flexible shaft to the vibrator, reference Figure 7:
nRemove 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.

shaft.Tighten securely. | |

head. |
|
| When rubber vibrator heads are used, |
NOTE | 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.
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.
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.
4.After inspecting the core for obvious damage, place a handful of clean grease (use Shell Durina EP2 high- temperature,
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).
