All Viber® system components are interchangeable. All flexible drives (cores and casings) can be used to attach any head to any power unit. For optimum performance and wear consult your Smart Parts™ SELECTION GUIDE.

  1. Always be sure the electric power unit is unplugged before assembling or disassembling your system.
  2. Attach the flexible drive (casing with lubricated core installed) to the power unit. Be sure the core engages in the motor drive coupling. Turn the casing clockwise to tighten. Use a small pipe wrench or channel locks to be sure the connection is tight. (If you do not have an assembled flexible drive, the core must be lubricated before installing it in the casing. Run the core through a handful of Viber® Core Grease as it is inserted into the casing. Attach the end of the casing, where the core was inserted, to the motor. As the system runs the grease will migrate from the motor end to the head end of the flexible drive.)
  3. Before attaching the head, check the length of core extending from the head end of the flexible drive. If this length is greater than 2-3/4”, twist the core while pushing it into the casing to make sure it is fully seated in the motor. If the exposed core is greater than 2-3/4” when it is fully seated in the motor it may bind and cause damage to the core, casing, or head. Do not use the system. Contact Global Manufacturing at 1-800-551-3569.
  4. Attach the head to the flexible drive. Be sure the core engages the drive coupling in the head. Apply two layers of Teflon® tape to the casing threads before screwing the head in a clockwise direction. Use a crescent wrench on the machined flats on the head and channel locks or a small pipe wrench on the casing fitting to make sure the connection is tight.
IMPORTANT! Do NOT leave out the Teflon® tape! It is required to provide a watertight seal between the head and casing. If Teflon® tape or a similar sealant is not used, the head can be damaged by water that penetrates this connection.
  1. Plug the power unit into the appropriate power source:

    VME 1500, 1500L, 2500, 2500L / 115V models = 115 volt, 15 amp service
    VME 3000 / 115V model = 115 volt, 20-amp service
    VME 1500, 2500, 3000 / 230 volt models = 230 volt, 15 amp service

    If a portable generator is used, the total kilowatt requirements for the generator is determined by multiplying the voltage times the total current requirements for the system. VME power units have the following maximum current requirements:

    VME 1500, 1500L / 115V = 10 amps
    VME 2500, 2500L / 115V = 15 amps
    VME 3000 / 115V = 20 amps

    VME 1500 / 230V = 5 amps
    VME 2500 / 230V = 7.5 amps
    VME 3000 / 230V = 10 amps If a 115V VME 1500, VME 2500, and VME 3000 are run off the same generator, the requirements are:
    115 ( 10 + 15 + 20 ) = 5,075 WATTS or 5.1 KW.
