Pouring; Clean Up And Preparation For Transport - PROALL G Series Operator's Manual

Pouring

WARNING
•
Never run the mix auger with the top or
bottom cover open. Do not allow
anyone unfamiliar or untrained to
operate the ProAll Mixer.
•
Never allow anyone directly under the
mix auger.
CAUTION
•
Keep hands, feet and loose clothing
away from rotating shafts, gears,
chains, belts and other moving parts.
•
When operating and moving about job
sites, realize that the driver/operator
holds the final responsibility for the
safe operation of the mobile mixer. Be
constantly aware of the location of
open excavations, other workers,
pilings, or anything else that could be
a hazard.
•
When operating the boom functions,
be aware of the location of workers.
•
While everything has been done to
ensure their reliability, do not trust
hydraulic cylinders, hoses or fittings.
As with any machine, the operator of the ProAll
Mobile Mixer must understand and become
confident in the operating procedures through
training and experience. The following details the
steps to be taken to deliver a quality product.
1. Activate high idle function using the speed
control switch, refer to Operating Keypad -
Engine High Idle button 10 on page 4-3. (If an
engine is equipped, refer to Error! Reference

2. Activate mix auger by pressing the Auger
Forward button on the Operator Control
(refer to page 4-2.)
3. Activate the conveyor belt switch by pressing
the Conveyor Start button on the Operator
Control (refer to page 4-2.)
4. Vibrate the bins to ensure initial flow of
material to the conveyor belt.
NOTE: The frequency and duration of vibration
depends upon the distance travelled while loaded,
road conditions, and the condition of the sand.
The operator must judge, based on experience,
the amount of vibration required. Insufficient
vibration may allow the material to bridge in
certain conditions, thereby affecting the quality
and consistency of the concrete produced.
5. Make frequent visual checks of aggregate
flows as well as the flow of concrete to ensure
that the customer is receiving a concrete
product that is true to the desired
specifications.
Clean up and Preparation for
Transport
When the pour is complete or the mixer is empty,
it is important that the mix auger be properly
cleaned up to prevent an excessive material build-
up which could interfere with the operation of the
mixer on subsequent loads. The operator should
take this opportunity to inspect the wear plates
and make a general visual check of the mix auger
and other components which may require
maintenance or repair.
The following steps act as a guideline for cleaning
out the mix auger and preparing the mobile mixer
for road transport:
