2 Safety Warning Do not attempt to operate this equipment without a thorough understanding of the operating, mainte- nance, and safety considerations contained in this manual. To prevent damage to equipment and or injury to you or other personnel, these instructions must be carefully followed. Warning Diesel is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1 Operator Qualifications Introduction Western Shotcrete Equipment, Inc. Warrior Shotcrete Pumps are high-pressure hydraulically powered piston pumps for shotcreting or pumping of concrete. This manual describes the operation, maintenance, and safety considerations that must be followed. Close attention to these details by the operator and mainte- nance personnel are necessary to ensure a minimum of problems while striving for maximum productivity and safety.
2 Operating Principle The Warrior Shotcrete Pump consists of a receiving hopper, two material cylinders and pistons, and a swingtube valve. A continuous flow of concrete through the delivery line is produced by the sequence of op- eration of the two concrete pistons with the swingtube valve. The swingtube shifts between the two material cylinders under a controlled Electro/Hydraulic sequence to direct the flow between the two material cylin- ders, the hopper, and the discharge outlet.
3.2 Machine Controls - Control Panel 1) The IGNITION Switch has two positions: OFF and ON. On allows the engine to start. Off shuts off the fuel to the engine. 2) The START Button Engages the starter motor. Note: To avoid premature starter wear, do not operate the starter motor for more than 4 seconds at a time. Allow the starter motor to rest 10 seconds between starting attempts.
16) COOLANT LOW Light illuminates when the engine Coolant Level falls below the normal operating range. (Applies to water-cooled engines only. On air-cooled engines this light is renamed “V-Belt Failure” and will illuminate if the engine cooling fan drive belt breaks) 17) HYDRAULIC FLUID Light illuminates when the hydraulic fluid temperature exceeds the normal operating range.
4.2 Start up An important part of pumping is the proper lubrication of the pipeline and/or hose system at the start of the pour. More downtime has been caused by inattention to this detail than any other reason. First, the hopper must be wetted. Then a rich, sloppy grout must be introduced to the hopper and slowly pumped into the pipeline system.
4.3 Clearing a Dry Pack When a block or dry-pack occurs in the delivery system, the pumping pressure gauge will reach the maxi- mum 3800-psi. Immediately switch the pump off. Switch the swingtube from forward to reverse, pump at least two or more strokes in reverse to relieve the pressure from the dry-pack back to the concrete pump. Shut the pump off.

8) Clean the hopper out using a stiff brush and water. Warning THE OPERATOR SHALL NEVER PUT HIS OR HER HANDS IN THE CYLINDERS! 9) Start the engine and turn the pump on. Cycle a few times to make sure there is no material left in the cylinders.

2 Piston Cup Replacement Procedure Warning Make sure your workspace is well ventilated. Never run the engine in an enclosed space The exhaust con- tains poisonous carbon monoxide gas that may cause loss of consciousness and lead to death. Warning Extreme caution is needed when working in the hopper and waterbox.

13 With a small pry-bar, remove cup. 14 Remove all tools and parts from the hopper and the water-box. 15 Make sure the pump is “off”, in “forward” and “pumping” mode. 16 Start engine and turn the pump on. When the S-tube shifts, toggle the pump mode switch to “Pressure Test”.
3 Wear-Plate/Wear-Ring Replacement Procedure Warning Extreme caution is needed when working in the hopper and waterbox. Use lock-out tag-out procedures. Al- ways remove the ignition key and put it in your pocket or other secure place when working in the hopper and water-box.
Page 23
14 Thoroughly clean the outlet cavity on the back of the hopper. 15 Thoroughly clean the 5” outlet flange. 16 Use a chipping gun to remove concrete build-up around the Wear-plate. 17 Remove the four Wear-plate bolts. (85132) 18 Tighten the Wear-plate push-bolt (85134) until the Wear-plate pops free. The push-bolt is located on the front of the hopper, operator side, near one of the side Wear-plate bolts.

35 Examine the seals in the flange bearing assembly. (85160) If they are in good condition, proceed to step # 43. 36 Remove the flange bearing assembly by removing the four mounting bolts then tighten the two-push bolts evenly. 37 Remove the outer seal and the inner seal and discard. 38 Thoroughly clean the flange bearing assembly.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM 1 General/Safety 1.1 Hydraulic Fluid Precautionary Measures Avoid prolonged breathing of vapor, mist, or gas. Workers should wash exposed skin several times daily with soap and water. 1.2 Hydraulic Fluid First Aid Eye contact: Flush eyes with plenty of water for several minutes. Get medical attention if eye irritation per- sists.
1.5 Operation The Western Shotcrete Equipment Warrior Shotcrete Pump has two 6” id x 42 (85401) chrome plated con- crete pumping cylinders powered by the 4” x 39” hydraulic main drive cylinders. (83200 or 93200, Cyl. A & The main pump is an axial piston pump (L), which generates the main oil flow. Flow from this pump is di- rected through a flow control valve (B) then into the Cycle block.

The accumulator (Q) charge is directed through the pilot operated directional valve (H) then into the swingtube- actuating cylinder. (R) The pilot operated directional Valve is controlled by pilot oil from the solenoid operated pilot control valve. (G) The solenoid operated pilot control valve is controlled by the PLC. The 2nd stage of the tandem gear pump (N) powers the Remixer motor (S) and/or the jack stands.

2.2 Valves Setting the main relief valve 83301 (Sun RPGC-FCN) •Loosen locking nut with a 9/16” wrench. •Turn adjuster all the way out. •Start engine, place in pressure test mode, turn pump on and observe main hydraulic pressure gauge. •Turn adjuster in until the pressure gauge stops climbing. (It should stop climbing when it reaches the pump setting at 3800 psi.) •Turn adjuster In an additional 1/2 turn and tighten locking nut.
2.4 Accumulator Warning Use dry nitrogen gas only to pressurize the accumulator bladder. NEVER use compressed air. The use of compressed air or any other unstable gas can cause a fire or explosion resulting in serious injury or death. An accumulator stores hydraulic pressure. This hydraulic pressure is potential energy since it can change to kinetic energy.
