Check your equipment:

1. Inspect the vibrator system for damage. Never use a damaged vibrator.
2. Have all components of the vibrator system received proper maintenance?
   VME Electric Motors: Monitor brushes & bearings. No lubrication required.
   Flexible Shafts: Re-grease core after every 50 hours of use or if core rattles excessively.
   Vibrator Head: Monitor bearings. Viber® heads are permanently lubricated at the factory. No further lubrication required.
3. Are all vibrator system connections tight? Apply Teflon® tape to the casing threads, before attaching the head, to give a watertight connection.
4. Do you have the proper 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
5. If using an electric motor, is it properly grounded?
6. If an extension cord is used, is it the proper size?
