1.) Visually inspect the entire vibro for loose nuts or bolts. Put a wrench on the clamp bolts
and check them for tightness.
2.) Grease the Jaw Plunger on the clamp housing.
3.) Check the oil level in the vibrator. Hang vibro from crane and look at sight gauge. Make
sure the oil is half way up gauge. If you cannot read it then you can't run the vibro. Remove
the gauge and clean it by spraying a shot of starting fluid at it.
