The vibrator grate
/ safety cover is used to both protect the operator and to assist in the grading of the
material passing into the pumping hopper. The grate will prevent items larger in size than the rotor / stator
can process.
The vibrator grate must be in the lowered position during operation.
The vibrator grate hinges upwards and swings past vertical to allow for unobstructed access to the hopper.
OPERATIONS
Shown with optional vibrat
or
motor.
•
If access is required into the hopper, then turn off the engine before lifting the grate. Pump can be
disassembled by removing the clamping nuts facilitating easier clean up.
•
The 38 Special Pump is supplied with an adjustable stator. The sleeve can be tightened to bring
working pressure back to normal range as the stator wears. This should be done evenly along the
length and in small increments. Over-tightening the stator will cause premature wear and heat up
material.
•
Always check hoses and cords for wear.
•
The unit runs at high pressures and temperatures. Use caution when moving or touching parts of
the unit.
•
Check the condition of the Universal joint seal tube. Look for signs of wear or cuts on the tube.
•
Check that all fasteners are all secure.
•
Grease drive shaft seal daily with water resistant, corrosion inhibited grease via the grease fitting /
Zerk in the motor flange.
•
For starting the pump, ensure that the throttle is at maximum and direction control is set to
“FWD”.
•
Do not let hopper run dry while pump is running.
•
To stop machine Move the Pump Control Panel switch to the center position.
•
If a hose becomes plugged while pumping, stop the machine, then reverse the driveshaft direction
on pump to relieve line pressure using the Pump Control Panel switch set to “REV”.
•
Never point a hose towards personnel when pump is working.
•
When cleaning the pump, do not remove the safety grate while pump is running. Wash out hopper
with water and let it run out of the hose. When the hopper is clean, run foam balls through hose
with clean water. Then wipe down with a damp rag.
•
Hopper draining can be assisted by the removal of the drain plug from the lower section of the
hopper.
