GENERAL INFORMATION The following operating principles and operating suggestions As a general rule, the use of approximately six sacks of should prove helpful in the successful operation of your cement, 70% washed concrete sand and 30% #4 pea gravel concrete pump. Your new “small line” concrete pump has per yard of concrete will result in a pumpable mix.

GENERAL INFORMATION HOW IT WORKS An automatic, centrifugal clutch is installed to engage and disengage the pumping action without stopping or starting The C30HDGA concrete pump has one main pumping the engine. The centrifugal clutch is set at 1100 R.P.M. The piston which is valved by means of two ball checks.
GENERAL INFORMATION The pumping piston (Figure 3) is forcing the material past The return spring is installed to eliminate shock and stress ball (B) and out to the nozzle, also seating ball A so that the between the cam roller and the cam weldment when material will not flow back to the hopper.

INSPECTION LUBRICATION BOX The C30HDGA features a fully enclosed lubrication box, which utilizes the "SPLASH" method of lubrication. Before using your new pump, 7 gallons of SAE 30 motor oil must be added directly into the lubrication box. Visually inspect the oil in the lubrication box by making sure the oil is at the correct operating level as indicated by the dip stick (Figure 11).
INSPECTION CHECKING ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL V-BELT 1. Remove the radiator cap, and check the cooling water 1. Inspect the V-belt (Figure 14) to determine if it is frayed, level inside the radiator (Figure 13). peeling, full of tiny cracks, has pieces of rubber missing, or is otherwise damaged.
STARTUP/SHUTDOWN STARTING PROCEDURE 4. Let the engine run for 3-5 minutes before putting pump into operational use. WARNING 5. Listen for any abnormal sounds. If any mechanical DO NOT attempt to operate this concrete pump until or electrical problems exists, STOP the engine and the Safety Information, General Information, and correct the problem.

OPERATION Concrete starts setting by drying up through a chemical WARNING reaction. The catalyst to this reaction is heat. When If you repeatedly increase speed and try to force your pumping a hot load, it is important to remember that pump to push through blockages due to separation of when you have to stop pumping for any reason, add material in the hose or manifold, you will soon have...

OPERATION 1. Disconnect the hoses from the pump and wash the Use a 25 ft. hose, or short section, off the pump; and for the pump out immediately. For example: If you had 200 ft. balance of the horizontal distance to the vertical line, use of system out, you would disconnect each hose.
Page 30
OPERATION PULSATION 2. On the control box, place the pumping control switch in the REMOTE ON position (Figure 21) A slight pulsation of the hose will always be noticeable near the pump. Excessive pulsation of the hose near the pump is normally due to higher than average line pressures caused by stiff, harsh mixes, or extremely long pumping distances.
MAINTENANCE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE 5. It is important that the hinged discharge cone on the pump manifold be opened and all remaining concrete It is extremely important to maintain this pump due to the (rock and sand) be thoroughly washed out. This must highly abrasive nature of concrete material.
