Maintenance

A. GENERAL
Good, regular maintenance and correct use are essential if this machine is to remain safe and long lasting.
If any of these areas are neglected, it will affect the life of the tanker:
1. Check the oil level in the gear box at the front of the pump. The level should be seen to be up to the top of the see
through plug.
2. Change the oil after the first 50 working hours (running in period) and thereafter every 300 working hours.
3. Check daily that the level of the cooling is always ABOVE the mark of the dip stick.
4. To prolong the life of the vanes in the pump, it is important to flush out the pump with diesel oil after every working
day. This is done by sucking 1 litre of diesel in through the air intake while the pump is on the pressure setting,
(as for spreading). An extra precaution is also to suck a small amount of reservoir oil into the pump to lubricate it
and minimise rusting.
5. If the tanker is to be left unused for a long time, remove the hose that connects the pump to the tank. This avoids
the transfer of gases from the tank to the pump, which can cause rusting.
6. Check that the cut out valve protecting the pump are in full working order. Ensure that the cut out balls are not soft
and spongy. Replace the small ball every 12 months.
7. Check the wheel nuts and wheel bearings daily for tightness.
8. Check daily that the tongue in the discharge valve will open fully. If it does not, then the top of the valve complete
with the ram should be withdrawn by removing the six Allen key screws and the top of the housing cleaned out.
Failure to do this will result in breaking of the valve rod or rod tongue. NOTE: Breakages of this type are not
covered by warranty.
9. Do not weld tank without opening rear door.
Check the hitch eye for wear weekly. Grease the swivel type hitch every 80 hours of work. Note that exceeding
the maximum speed limit will cause the premature wear of the part and possible failure.
DANGER: SLURRY GASES CAN KILL

• Secure suction hoses to prevent them falling into the tank.
• Don't stand near tank openings or stoop to floor level when mixing is in progress
• Never enter a below ground level tank unless there is no alternative. If you have to go in wear a lifeline held by
two men.
