DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT
General
FSI Series 5000B4 single deck linear shakers are designed to process various material slurries where fine screening is required. The adjustable deck makes it possible for materials to de-water before being discharged. Processing rates vary with slurry content, percentage of solids and viscosity. Each of the four-pretensioned screen panels can be installed or replaced independently of each other. Replacement of screens can be achieved in approx. 2 to 5 minutes. The only tool required is a light to medium weight hammer. Deck angle is adjustable while running from 0 to +5 enabling rapid adjustment in response to changing type and loading of solids. As with all shakers processing rate is dependent upon solids content, solids type and fluid viscosity. Processing rates are therefore dependent upon screen mesh and mud properties. Each shaker has four-pretensioned screen panels of all stainless steel 1,2 and/or 3 layer construction. Screens are clamped by the unique WedgeLok system requiring only a light to medium weight hammer for screen changing. The 5000B4 Linear Shaker is designed for the lowest possible maintenance. Vibrators are permanently sealed and are lubricated. Routine maintenance comprises checking of screen condition, deck rubbers and air spring assemblies. Quarterly maintenance entails checking of the torque on vibrator motor mount bolts. Permanently sealed vibrators make lubrication systems totally unnecessary. The two vibratory motors produce 80 dB.

Tabulated Data
See enclosed data sheets in the back of this manual for weights, dimensions, etc.

Fluid Systems, Inc Belle Chasse, LA 70037 Do not weld or bolt shale/dump slide or chutes to vibrating shaker bed. Bring electric service to starter mounted on the side of the machine. (Three phase 230v or 460v 60 Hz is required on standard machines.) WARNING: It is the users responsibility to provide a fused disconnecting device in accordance with Local and National Electrical Codes. The vibrator is a dual wound device so modifications can be made by the user to fit the supply voltage. (see Figure No. 12-17A for wiring instructions). Water lines going to the mist sprayers should not rub against the air springs or any part of the shaker to avoid any wearing out of either. A valve should be installed to control the flow of water to the mist sprayer. The weir height should be lower than the feed line, or slurry level to allow gravity to feed machine properly.

INSTALLATION
Location
The 5000B4Z Linear Shaker is designed for Nema 4 Non Explosion Proof locations. The 5000B4X Linear Shakers are designed for Nema 7 Explosion Proof locations.

Installation Instructions
Four lift points have been welded on the skid near all four corners of the machine. It is recommended to use four hooks and spreader bars to lift the shaker. Note: To avoid flipping the shaker, do not lift shaker from shaker bed or with two hooks. Remove shipping brackets from between shaker bed and mud pan. Make sure marsh mellow mounts are properly installed and shaker bed is in fact free of any obstructions. Check this by rocking it up and down manually. Level the skid/machine in both directions. It is recommended to install a valve to control the flow from the flow line. Note: A "Y" or "U" type manifold is best for slurry to flow between two or more shakers. Clean out holes should be installed. A dump/by-pass line with a valve should be installed between shakers incorporated into the manifold or flow line. The valve will prevent any contaminants from entering the shakers and contaminating the slurry. Dump slides or chutes should be installed to collect all material going over the screen. The skirt flap should be without any obstruction and should be cut if necessary to the shape of the shale/dump slide.

Screen Area
All Series 5000B4 Linear Shakers have a total screening area of 33.73 ft. There is an additional 3.5 ft impact area on the feed side of the bed to soften the blow and extending the life of the screen panel.

Electrical
All electrical connections should be made in accordance with the Local and National Electrical Code by qualified personnel. Wire the motor to the voltage in the existing service line and install the proper heater elements or thermal overload relays. The service line should be equipped with a suitable and adequate main disconnecting device having sufficient interrupting capacity to clear the maximum fault current capability of the immediate power supply system, in the event of an electrical short not cleared by the branch circuit over devices if provided on the Fluid Systems, Inc. Series 5000B4 Linear Shaker.

Both vibrators have been set at the factory to rotate opposite of each other. This rotation is critical for proper operation. If the vibrator cables or a vibrator itself has been replaced, rotation is to be checked by a qualified electrician. See Figure 13-17A below for proper vibrator rotations. CAUTION: Vibrators must rotate in opposite directions for proper performance and to avoid any damage to the machine. The electrical connection should be made according to the connection diagram located under the terminal box cover. Inside the terminal box, the leads must take the shortest route possible from the connector to the terminal. Outside the terminal box, the electric cable should be flexible and free of strain. It is important that the cable not be tensioned to avoid breakage cause by vibration. This connection should be checked for extreme movement with the vibrator in operation. CAUTION: Do not connect any vibrator using rigid conduit. Fluid Systems, Inc. Series 5000B4 Explosion Proof Linear Shakers are factory equipped with U.L. approved cable gland marine shipboard sealing fittings and armored and sheathed power cable.

OPERATION
Start-Up
WARNING: Before starting shaker, have qualified electrician check all connections, wiring and overload protections. Be sure no one or nothing is leaning on shaker bed or marshmellow isolators. Make sure all your screen panels are wedged in place and snug. Make sure marshmallow mounts are installed properly and shaker bed is in fact free of any obstructions. Check this by rocking it up and down manually. Start machine by pressing the "ON" switch on starter (optional) Machine should run smooth with the absence of any "rattling" or loud banging noises. All Fluid Systems, Inc. shakers are extremely quiet. If rattling noises are heard, stop the machine and find and remove the obstruction or the cause of the noise. At start up the amperage may be as high as 8 times the name plate amperage. This high amperage draw should drop to the amperage specified on the name plate as the vibrator reaches operating speed. CAUTION: Maintained high amperage will cause overheating and vibrator failure. Fluid Systems, Inc. recommends an amperage check at start-up to avoid damage to the vibrator motor. If you are not sure the model of the vibrator, check the name plate for the amperage or call Fluid Systems, Inc.) If amperage reads high, check all mounting fasteners and tighten where required.

Unbalanced Weights
There are two unbalanced weights attached to each of the two shaft ends of the vibrator motor. The weights have been set for maximum operation efficiency and should not be changed.

VGS Option
VGS stands for variable G force shaker system. The Fluid Systems design engineering group utilized their field experience in the development of the variable G force series shakers. All VGS series units are equipped for optional G force settings, whether at 1200 rpm or 1800 rpm, depending on client preference or process requirements. The variable G force options can range from 0.0 to 8.0 G on any model in the VGS series with a minimum amount of technical training.

Shaker Bed Adjustments

Fluid Systems, Inc. recommends raising and lowering the front (dump side) of shaker only for desired angle. To adjust shaker bed, make sure shaker is not running (unless your shaker is equipped with the AWD Jacking Mechanism). Pry corner near marshmellow isolators you are adjusting between pan and shaker bed (please see Figure 9-17). Loosen bolt that attaches the "L" shaped Marshmellow isolator mount bracket to shaker.

AWD Jacking Mechanism Standard shakers purchased from FSI after January 1, 2006 and before December 31, 2011 may have our AWD Bulldog Jacking Mechanism.

Screen Panel Selection

Fluid Systems, Inc. has developed the most advanced design in screening technology to date. The unique pretensioned screens are manufactured by Fluid Systems, Inc. in Houston, TX under full compliance with API RP13E standards. We have points of distribution in Belle Chasse, La. and at other authorized factories. (call 832-467-9898 for a list of authorized distributors) Each screen is individually tensioned at the factory and gauged. Other imitation screens do not have the unique "bonding system" and quality Fluid Systems, Inc. has developed over the last 30 years. Fluid Systems, Inc. uses stainless steel TENSILE bolting cloth. The advantages of using this particular grade of cloth is that it allows a higher liquid thru-put than the conventional market grade cloth screens, thus allowing fine screening, fluid recovery and optimum separation FSI replacement panels are available from factory and other authorized distributors.

All standard shakers purchased after January 1, 2011 come equipped with our AWD56 (adjustable while drilling) Ratchet Jacking Mechanism.

Fluid Systems, Inc. screen panels are available in: MFX Maximum FloSquare MFX Series screens are general duty screen panels. This series of screens utilize tensile bolting cloth and are available in mesh sizes from 6 to 400. As with all Fluid Systems, Inc. O.E.M. screen panels, each screen is factory tensioned to eliminate improper tensioning in the field. Advantages: Increase unblocked screen area, adequate life, least expensive. FMS FloMax Square FMS series screens utilize the same cloth as MFX screens with the addition of a perforated support plate and are available in mesh sizes from 24 to 400. The support plate offers extra support for heavy loading and reparability of damaged or worn sections of the screen panel. As with all Fluid Systems, Inc. O.E.M. screen panels, each screen is factory tensioned to eliminate improper tensioning in the field.

All FSI standard shakers with old style jacking mechanism or no jacking mechanism may be upgraded with the new AWD56 (adjustable while drilling) Ratchet Jacking Mechanism. For more information to add this upgrade please call our office at (832) 467-9898.

O.E.M. screen panels, each screen is factory tensioned to eliminate improper tensioning in the field. Advantages: Resistant to blinding, long life, consistent volume handling, all purpose screens. Urethane (special order) Urethane Screen Panels (US): used with extreme flows and abrasive materials are necessary in order to achieve the screening application. These screen panels have a six plus month life expectancy. Screen Panels General Information The following values should be used in conjunction with the screen panel technical data sheet (in back of this manual) to help you select the screen panels needed: Conductance Value (Ct): the volume handling of the screen cloth. The higher the conductance values the more through-put capabilities of the screen panel. Cut Point (D100): Particles this size and larger will normally be discarded.

API: Corresponding API sieve equivalent as per API RP 13C Trans - Number: the relative volume handling capacity of the screen panel. Conveyance: Speed at which material in slurry advances towards the discharge end of the screen.

Screen Panel Orders

All screen orders will be shipped freight collect with available screen panel types (MFX, FMS, FMD or FMR) from our Belle Chasse, LA or Houston, TX unless otherwise specified. Custom mesh sizes are available. A small set-up charge will apply on all custom orders. You can order your screen panels directly online at sales@fluidsystems.com.

MAINTENANCE
Vibrator Maintenance
The vibrators are designed for continuous duty. The re-lubrication schedule should be closely maintained to assure maximum vibrator life (see section below). Note: A preventive maintenance program should also include an inspection of the mount and fasteners for tightness. Routinely check the mount plate welds for signs of fatigue. Early detection can prevent costly repairs. All vibrators are repairable. They may be returned to Fluid Systems, Inc. for repair. Replacement bearings are available however, field replacement is not recommended. Each vibrator has been set before shipping. It is extremely important that both vibrators rotate in opposite directions. Failure to check rotations after replacing a vibrator

After 12 hours of continuous operation retorque motor mount bolts, and then again at 72 hours, and then periodically.

Deck Rubber Maintenance

It is very important to replace any worn or damaged deck rubber immediately to avoid any premature screen panel failure. Re-attach any deck rubber that may have come loose with the proper rivet (see deck rubber parts below) CAUTION: Failure to replace damaged or worn deck rubbers will cause premature screen panel failure!

Wet Surroundings
All motors are factory sealed against moisture penetration. In the event that a motor is replaced the following procedures should be followed: Use sealant R.T.V. 100% Silicone Rubber, industrial grade (clear) available from the following: Dow Corning No.732; General Electric RTV 108; Balkamp (Permatex) No. 765-1348; or equivalent. All surfaces must be clean and dry. A standard caulking gun (Part No. FST 14) with 10 or 11 oz. cartridges (Part No. FST15) is recommended. Compound will set in about 10 minutes and cure in 24/36 hours. All excess flash should be trimmed from sealed areas.

By-Pass Plunger (Optional) Maintenance

Hose off excess dirt on stainless steel stem and add grease to threads after each use. Make sure there is no obstruction or excess mud in the machined seat of the by-pass plunger.

Marshmellow Isolators Maintenance

CAUTION: Failure to replace damaged marshmellow spring isolators will terminate any warranties and may cause severe damage to shaker bed!

Moisture Sealing Areas

After mounting the vibrator, remember to replace the vermiculite or other grouting material in the terminal box before replacing cover. Apply a thin coat (approximately a 1/8" bead) of the sealant to the terminal box cover surface (item 1). Be sure that the terminal box cover "O" ring is still in place. Reassemble the terminal box cover.

Fluid Systems, Inc Belle Chasse, LA 70037 vibrator motors will eventually crack the motor housings, thus shutting down that particular shaker. If the shaker continues to operate with only one vibrator severe damages will occur to the shaker bed. Proper bolts, washers, and nuts should be used to mount the vibrators. Grade 8 SAE national fine thread bolts, washers, and nuts are recommended. Different size bolts other than the ones recommended should not be used. Vibrator damages may result. Any weight covers that are damaged or show excessive rust should be replaced. All counter weight and electrical covers, should be sealed correctly with either "O" rings where necessary and silicone. If water enters the counter weight area it will leak into the bearings and cause bearing problems or an electrical short. If this does occur, the replacing of bearings should be done in a dust free facility by trained personnel such as at Fluid Systems, Inc. and not on location. This will insure proper bearing installation and sealing. To insure longer screen life as well as proper solids control, deck rubbers should be replaced when damaged, worn out or removed. If a motor does burn up or is damaged, that particular shaker should be shut down immediately and vibrator replaced. If it continues to operate with only one vibrator severe structural damage may occur to the shaker bed. Sand, prime and then paint any worn down, scratched, or damaged area to protect from rust.

24 HOURS AFTER INITIAL STARTUP: Check torque on each vibrator mounting bolt. Check cables going from starter to vibrator for wear or cuts. Shaker should not have any metal to metal rattling sound. If one is detected, determine the cause and tighten bolt(s) or repair it. Unclog mist sprayers if necessary. 72 HOURS AFTER INITIAL STARTUP: Check torque on each vibrator mounting bolt. DAILY: Check screen panels for wear or damage. Replace if necessary. WEEKLY:

MONTHLY: Check deck rubbers for wear or damage. Replace if necessary. Check skirt flap for wear or damage. Replace if necessary. Check torque on vibrator mounting bolts SIX MONTHS: Replace all deck rubbers Spot paint any worn areas on equipment. Check wedges for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.

Preventive Maintenance
Wires going into vibrators should be secured with wire clamps and should not be allowed to rub against anything. This may cause motors to short out and burn up. Mounting bolts holding the vibrators should be properly torqued to 315 foot pounds. If not properly torqued, the
