BRAKES
The braking system has two settings. PARKING and ACTIVE. SET the brake to AC-
TIVE in hilly conditions to AUTOMATICALLY DECELERATE and HOLD the shaker on
hills. USE the PARKING setting when you want to set brake when loading shaker on a
trailer. This brake is a DUAL style with a SPRING applied PRESSURE released FAIL-
SAFE and a PRESSURE applied SERVICE brake. The ACTIVE brake has an adjusta-
ble valve to control the braking speed. It is not recommended to use the ACTIVE brake
on flat ground as the ground drive provides sufficient braking.
If shaker requires to be towed out of a stuck position (such as mud or sand) always
make sure to turn ACTIVE brake to off position prior to tow vehicle towing or damage
to ground drive components will occur.
STEERING
The steering system is the same as in an automotive application. Turning the wheel in
desired direction of travel creates travel in that direction. Turning the wheel more or
less generates the desired amount of steering angle.
SHAKE
It is recommended to use the secondary throttle to set a fixed RPM for operation at
1,700 to 1,800 RPMs. All shake patterns have multiple frequencies and work best with
a fixed RPM in the 1,700 to 1,800 range. ALL patterns CAN be varied by using MORE
or LESS weight. The foot throttle can be used if extra variation is wanted. It is not rec-
ommended to exceed 2,000 RPMs while shaking as this reduces shake effectiveness.
ENGINE MONITOR or EXCELERATE DISPLAY
The in dash monitor is a multi function interface that displays vital engine information
as well as any engine fault codes. The monitor can be programmed to display only the
information that the operators prefers. The monitor is connected with the engines ECU
and communicates the information of the ECU. If there is a problem with the engine or
ECU the monitor will then display the ERROR CODE so the repair can be made.
HIGH and LOW GEAR
High or Low gear can be selected by the rocker switch located on the control console.
ONLY use HIGH gear when moving long distances NEVER use HIGH gear in tree to
tree shaking. USE LOW gear for tree to tree shaking. This machine is NOT equipped
for road use. It is recommended to ONLY move shaker on a trailer. DO NOT drive
shaker on PUBLIC roads. Moving shaker on rough roads at high speeds may cause
damage to chassis and head mounting systems.
