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 REED 00 MODEL C50SS 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.

The shorter the pumping distance the greater the material delivery.
  • Page 20: Starting The Pump

    OPER. REED 00 MODEL: C50SS TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE • If the delivery line will cross rebars, support must be considered for the pipe so that it does not contact the rebar mat. • 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.
  • Page 21 OPER. REED 00 MODEL: C50SS TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE When you have completed the above checks, the unit is ready for start up. • At the main control panel, turn key switch and start engine. When engine starts, release key.
  • Page 22 OPER. REED 00 MODEL: C50SS TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE PRIMING THE PUMP SYSTEM Before proceeding to cycle and pump concrete material it will be necessary to prime the pump system and delivery lines. This operation consists of pumping a coating of lubrication grout through the S-tube and delivery lines to enable the regular concrete mix to flow smoothly.
  • Page 23 OPER. REED 00 MODEL: C50SS TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE The pressure by which the concrete is being pumped is based on the ratio between the hydraulic cylinder and the material cylinders and that is divided into the hydraulic pressure being applied to the drive cylinders.
  • Page 24 OPER. REED 00 MODEL: C50SS TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE • When it is necessary to pump unfavorable mixes such as extremely stiff, under sanded, lightweight concrete, the best procedure is to keep the remixer/agitator shaft visible all the time. In so doing, the hopper will only be filled to the lower edge of the remixer shaft making the concrete easier to pump.
  • Page 25 OPER. REED 00 MODEL: C50SS TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS - PUMPING & BLOCKAGE • A drop in volume can occur when pumping long distances or with stiff mixes as compared with shorter lines and wetter mixes. • Water leaking from a connection can cause separation of the mix in the delivery line and will eventually develop into a blockage at that point.
  • Page 26 OPER. REED 00 MODEL: C50SS TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE CLEARING A PACK OR BLOCKAGE Blockage in the delivery line during pumping operation will no doubt happen at one time or another. An observant alert operator, who can recognize the symptoms is of great value.

  • Page 44 MAINT REED 00 MODEL: C50SS TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE DESCRIPTION OF HYDRAULIC SYSTEM The hydraulic system of the 00 MODEL C50SS consists of three separate circuits and although integrated, each is designed to perform a particular function within the operation of the concrete pump.
  • Page 45 MAINT REED 00 MODEL: C50SS TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE MAIN PUMP CIRCUIT (Refer To Hydraulic Schematic) The 00 MODEL C50SS is designed to pump concrete material from the hopper to the placement site. To accomplish this requires the use of two (2) material cylinders that are driven by two (2) hydraulic cylinders and the material pumping action is the result of the two cylinders operating or stroking on an alternate basis.
  • Page 46 The black box is a REED proprietary solid state device, designed to control the alternating action of the material cylinders and to synchronize the movement of the swing tube.
  • Page 47 MAINT REED 00 MODEL: C50SS TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE CIRCUIT OPERATIONAL SEQUENCE In the operational sequence of the MAIN PUMP CIRCUIT and with the engine running and throttle adjusted to maximum, the main pump is idling. When the PUMP switch is placed ON and volume control open, the hydraulic drive cylinders begin to cycle.
  • Page 48 MAINT REED 00 MODEL: C50SS TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE With this arrangement of connecting the two cylinders together, it is possible for various reasons, such as leakage around the piston seals that more oil exists on the rod side of the cylinder than is required.
  • Page 49 MAINT REED 00 MODEL: C50SS TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE The S-tube shift hydraulic circuit is of the open center type, meaning that when the control valves are in the NEUTRAL position hydraulic non operational (unactuated), the internal passages of the valves are open, free flow, allowing the hydraulic fluid to return to the tank.
  • Page 50 MAINT REED 00 MODEL: C50SS TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE REVISION:...
  • Page 51 MAINT REED 00 MODEL: C50SS TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE • SELECTOR CONTROL VALVE – This is a manual valve which enables the flow to be adjusted for high or low volume depending on concrete mix design. The valve, when completely open, allows full flow for a harsh mix S-Tube movement. As the valve is closed fully, the flow is directed through an orifice for a soft type mix.
  • Page 52 MAINT REED 00 MODEL: C50SS TRAILER CONCRETE PUMP PAGE ACCUMULATOR The accumulator is incorporated into the shift circuit to provide instant pressure and volume for the shifting of the swing tube, which cannot be obtained under normal circumstances.
