Wiring Instructions
OPERATING REQUIREMENTS
The MG 12V DC models require a 12 volt/25 amp DC power source and the
MG 24V DC models require a 24 volt/12.5 amp DC power source. Maximum
ambient temperature is 130°F (54°C).
TRUCK DUMP BODY APPLICATIONS
Continuous operation can run down the vehicle battery. Keep the vehicle
engine running during vibrator use. Time for the vehicle alternator to
recharge the battery between vibrator ON cycles might be required.
Increasing the vehicle engine speed (rpm) might be necessary during
vibrator operation if the vibrator draws more current than the vehicle’s
alternator can produce when the engine is idling. Do not operate the
vehicle’s air conditioner or other ancillary equipment while the vibrator is
running.
CONTROLLING VIBRATOR SPEED
A rheostat can be used to control the speed of DC electric vibrators.
Operating the vibrator at lower voltages will slow the speed of the vibrator,
reduce the force of the vibrator, and enhance the bearing life (a 10%
decrease in speed increases the bearing life by 50%). If using a rheostat
to control the vibrator speed, reduce the speed using the rheostat until
material ow stops. Gradually increase the voltage until the speed of the

Accessory Kits include:
• Push button switch (intermittent use) or pull on switch (continuous
use)
• Solenoid (12V or 24V)
• 25 feet of AWG #6 cable with terminal and hardware to connect to
the vibrator
• Terminal to connect the cable to the solenoid
