AIR HAMMER (VIBRATOR) MAINTENANCE
The air hammer employed to help dislodge commodity should be lubricated on a regular basis.
The air hammer manufacturer recommends a SAE 10 or lighter oil for this purpose. Frequency of
lubrication is directly related to volume of usage. The operator should lubricate the air hammers
(vibrators) prior to each use or maintain oil in reservoir if equipped with self-lubricating system.
NOTE: The operator must confirm that all air hammers are securely located in the mount-
ing brackets and locked into place prior to usage. Failure to locate and lock air hammers
into position properly could result in serious personal injury or damage to the trailer. Do
not exceed 80 P.S.I. while operating piston vibrator. Failure to follow operating instruc-
tions properly could void the warranty.
