The CONDITION of the unit prior to start-up is a very IMPORTANT factor as it directly affects
the operator's safety as well as those around him. It should be a common practice that the
operator performs a general inspection of the 05 REED MODEL A30HP before each day's
operation.
The purpose of the operator's inspection is to keep the equipment in PROPER working
condition and to DETECT any sign of malfunction during normal operations between scheduled
maintenance checks.
DOWNTIME is COSTLY and can possibly be prevented by taking a few minutes prior to start-
up to do a thorough walk-around inspection. This inspection must be performed each day
before the unit is operated. Report any damage or faulty operation immediately. Attach a sign,
if need be, at the control panel which states ------ DO NOT OPERATE ------. Repair any
discrepancies before use.
Some major items to be considered for your inspection include the following:
1.
OVERALL MACHINE CONDITION
External structural damage
Wheel lug nuts missing or loose
Brake line wiring, connection
Condition of tires, pits, tears, cuts, inflation
Decals, placards, warning signs
Missing, broken or damaged parts
Remote switch & cable condition
Gauges, Throttle control
2.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Loose or damaged hoses, tubing, fittings

    OPER. REED ROCK MASTER A30HP TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE GETTING ACQUAINTED (UNIT FAMILIARIZATION) As previously indicated, it is important from a SAFE operational standpoint that you, the OPERATOR, know your machine. This means the function of each control as to what happens when it is activated, how it might interact with other functions and any limitations, which might exist.
  • Page 4: Control Familiarization

    OPER. REED ROCK MASTER A30HP TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE CONTROL FAMILIARIZATION The controls for operation of the MODEL A30HP can be found and are located on the right (curb) side of the machine. A control box is provided and contains all the main function instruments, switches, and indicators.

REED ROCK MASTER A30HP TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE RADIO REMOTE CONTROL FAMILIARIZATION (NOTE: REFER TO VENDOR SECTION FOR ADDITONAL INFORMATION) A hand held micro control base radio remote control unit is provided and used to enable operation of the concrete pump away from the immediate vicinity of the unit. The complete unit consists of a hand held transmitter and a receiver which is located on the trailer’s front cover.

  • Page 15: Towing The Trailer

    At no time should this be overlooked. The REED MODEL A30HP is equipped with a torsion bar single type axle, electric brakes, and standard tail lights. It is capable of being towed by a truck at a highway speed up to 55 MPH (88KM/HR) MAXIMUM, depending on road conditions.
  • Page 16: Towing Tips

    OPER. REED ROCK MASTER A30HP TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE Towing trailers at excessive speeds is DANGEROUS. Some trailers may weigh as much or more than the vehicle doing the towing, and can affect the control of the towing vehicle causing an OVERTURN condition.
  • Page 17 OPER. REED ROCK MASTER A30HP TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS Having READ and UNDERSTOOD the previous pages on SAFETY and CONTROL FAMILIARIZATION you are now in a position to learn how to operate the unit. If you have not READ the previous pages we suggest you do so before PROCEEDING.
  • Page 18 OPER. REED ROCK MASTER A30HP TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE • Keep a sufficient distance away from slopes, pits, trenches and excavations that could breakaway. • Make every attempt to set up as near as possible to placement site. The shorter the pumping distance the greater the material delivery.
  • Page 19: Starting The Pump

    OPER. REED ROCK MASTER A30HP TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE • For best pumping results it is important to size the inside diameter of the pipe or hose to that of the size of the aggregate in the concrete to be pumped. The general rule is the inside diameter of the pump or hose shall be 3 to 4 times the size of the largest aggregate in the mix.
  • Page 20 OPER. REED ROCK MASTER A30HP TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE • Check the swing tube pressure gauge (3000 PSI/210 BAR gauge) that it is operational. Gauge should read approximately 2300 PSI (140 BAR). • Pressure gauge (6000 PSI/420 BAR) will only indicate pressure when pump switch is •...
  • Page 21 OPER. REED ROCK MASTER A30HP TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE • At pump panel turn PUMP ON. • As the slurry is being pumped out begin charging, pouring concrete from the truck into the hopper. • Continue to pump until a steady flow is discharged from end of delivery line.
  • Page 22 OPER. REED ROCK MASTER A30HP TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE PUMPING TIPS AND PRECAUTIONS Your SAFETY is our utmost CONCERN and it is your RESPONSIBILITY to operate the equipment in a SAFE manner. The following TIPS and PRECAUTIONS are offered as AWARENESS facts and should be OBSERVED for proper safe operation.
  • Page 23 OPER. REED ROCK MASTER A30HP TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE • Avoid having the material in the hopper separate during shut down. • Air pockets in the delivery line can be dangerous as the air compresses within the delivery line and when it is released abruptly at the end of the line, the material being pumped is discharged in an explosive manner.
  • Page 24 OPER. REED ROCK MASTER A30HP TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE • When a blockage in the hose occurs, walk along the hose until you find the point of trouble. The hose will be soft immediately past the blockage point. Elevate the hose at that point with the blockage hanging down toward the free end.
  • Page 25 OPER. REED ROCK MASTER A30HP TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE Extreme caution must be exercised when opening the clamping devices on any part of the delivery system. The possibility may still exist that there is still some pressure trapped in the line.
  • Page 26 OPER. REED ROCK MASTER A30HP TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE • Place DIRECTION switch in REVERSE. Place the water hose NO MORE THAN 12” INCHES through the pump discharge outlet. START the PUMP. Water will drain into the material cylinders and as pump cycles, any sand and rocks will be forced out through the open clean out door.
