Preface - Strong GR4 Procedures Manual

Preface

The Strong Model GR4 Grout Machine is specifically designed to convey, mix and pump cementitious
slurries with a high concentration of sand aggregate. To best facilitate the handling of sand, a
hydraulically powered skip bucket is used to transfer both the cement and sand from ground level up to
the mixer and then dumped.
We are confident that your new Grout Mixer-Placer will increase profits, but the life and service received
from it will depend to a great extent on the care and attention you give it during daily and routine use.
This OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL has been provided to assist you in obtaining the
utmost from your machine and to instruct you and your operating personnel it its SAFE and efficient use.
This Manual should be carefully read and its instructions adhered to by those who will be responsible for
the operation, maintenance, transportation, and uses of the machine. You should remember that the
nature of your business – that is, the mixer and pumping of Gypsum or cement and sand aggregates,
water, and admixtures – creates the most severe conditions under which machinery can operate. It was
with these conditions in mind that the selection and design of the various components were made.
A separate section immediately following this Preface contains specific safety information. No one
should be permitted to perform any function on the machine unless he or she has read the safety section of
this Manual. The safety section is also available free of charge to owners of the Model GR4 Grout
Machine as a separate pamphlet by writing the Strong Manufacturing Company, PO Box 8068, Pine
Bluff, Arkansas 71611.
Following the safety section are descriptions of the function of the machine, its operation, various
systems, maintenance information, and so on. In order to help you properly service and care for the
machine, the operation and maintenance manuals from the various suppliers of components are included.
These should be carefully read and followed by those who will be responsible for maintenance of the
machine. The information given will help you produce a better and more profitable product.
