allowing the motor housing to spin in the air while
holding onto the flex shaft with a hand or with vise.
Do not over tighten or reef as this may damage the
plastic motor housing.

Disconnecting the Vibrator Casing
(Threaded Connector)

2. Carefully rotate the motor until it and the casing separate
from one another. Do not pull the core end too far out
of the casing end or the head will have to be removed to
realign the core with the head driver.
3. Place casing end of shaft into a vice and place an
adjustable wrench to the hex motor connector to tighten
the motor to shaft.
WARNING
TIGHTENING OR TORQUING USING THE MOTOR HANDLE
CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO MOTOR CASING.
The motor can accommodate any of the 750 series cores
and casings.
The motor is ordered as either a dedicated quick-disconnect
connection or a dedicated threaded connection version.
If the threaded version was ordered it cannot be used with
the quick-disconnect core and casing. If the quick-disconnect
version was ordered threaded core and casings can be used
with the addition of a thread to quick-disconnect adapter.
The configuration options are shown in Figure 13.
