if this is not the case, run the pump in suction for a few sec-
onds. If rubber hoses are being used, check that no sections
of hose are still pressurised after this operation. In this case,
the operator uncoupling the pipes must be specially trained
in how to do the job.

- Switch off the machine before accessing the lower hop-
per or opening the upper hopper. The panel hatch must be
padlocked to prevent anyone starting up the machine.
- The casing must be closed by key during use.
-Always switch off the Diesel engine before opening the
casing.
-Pay attention when opening the casing, because there
may be very hot parts and flammable and/or corrosive liquids
inside the engine compartment.
-The machine must not be used in places where there is
risk of explosion and/or fire, or in underground excavations.
The pump is not fitted with its own lighting and therefore the work-
place must be sufficiently lit for this purpose.
6. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The BOOSTER 15 pump has a 12 V DC electrical circuit.
7. MECHANICAL SAFETY
The hazardous parts of the IMER pump are protected by suitable
safety devices, which must remain fitted and kept in perfect condi-
tion, such as the Diesel engine cooling fan guard and in particular
the grill and the guard in the hopper, which prevent contact with
the mixer located inside the hopper itself: opening the these auto-
matically stops the mixer, the S valve and the pumping pistons.
-The grills must not be tampered with in any way or for
any reason: tampering with the grills can be the cause of seri-
ous accidents at work with these types of machines.
8. TRANSPORTABILITY AND TOWABILITY
Before moving the pump, it is advisable to disconnect the material
delivery pipe and, if present, the pressure water cleaner suction
and delivery hoses, the set accelerant suction and delivery pipes,
and the cabled control. This must always be done when lifting the
machine.
There must also not be any material in the hopper.
- Caution! Before lifting or towing the pump
- Always disconnect the material delivery pipe and, if present,
the pressure water cleaner and set accelerant pipes
- If present, remove the remote control , which must always
be carried separately.
- Always make sure all components of the machine are
correctly secured and fixed and, in particular, that the upper
hopper is secured and the casing locked shut.

To lift the machine, use the provided attachment points (Fig. 5),
using a yoke (Fig. 5 Ref. 1) (not provided) and n°4 straps (not
provided).
- Caution! Lift with care to avoid hazardous oscillations.
- Caution! Never use attachment points other than as
specified in the figure (Fig. 5) to lift the machine.
Use lifting equipment suitable for the overall weight of the machine
indicated in Table 1.
Before towing the machine, position the tiller correctly so that the
attachment point, with the machine horizontal and the end of the
tiller horizontal (Fig. 6 Ref. 1), is at the height of the towing hitch
(Fig. 6 Ref. 2), tighten down the tiller's various parts (Fig. 6 Ref.
3), hook on the safety cable, secure the lights bar (Fig. 6 Ref. 4),
hook up the lights cable, make sure the upper hopper is secured
and locked, that the grill on the upper hopper is closed, that the
hopper's drain hatch is closed (Fig. 3 Ref. 1), light and secure the
stabiliser feet, check the tyre inflation pressure and the operation
of the lights, check that no foreign materials are resting on or inside
the machine (bags of cement, pipes, tools, etc.), and make sure
the machine is good order overall.
