Reverse Pumping Procedure
1. Switch the pump into reverse. With pump speed at a
medium-slow (approx. 12 strokes per min.) try to pull
the “pack” back into the hopper with 5 or 6 reverse
strokes.
2. Remix the concrete in the hopper.
3. Switch the pump into forward. If it is still plugged, repeat
“Reversing” procedure three times.
4. If concrete still does not move, proceed to the Shuttle
Tube Inspection Procedure.
Shuttle Tube Inspection Procedure
1. Stop the pump. Turn off the engine.
2. The senior or most experienced operator must warn all
others to stand at least 20 feet away from the machine
and turn their heads to face away from the pump.
3. The operator will position himself beside the reducing
elbow at the pump outlet. Wearing safety glasses, slip
the end of a pry bar (24" length of reinforcing steel rod)
under the latch of the hose clamp and flip it up.
4. Carefully knock the end of the hose away from the
reducer.
GENERAL INFORMATION
5. Chip the concrete out of the reducer with the pry bar.
6. Remove the reducer. From the discharge end, chip
the concrete out of the shuttle tube with the pry bar.
If concrete cannot be loosened from the outlet of the
shuttle tube, remove the clean-out plug on the bottom
of the hopper to discharge the concrete.
7. Chip the blockage out with the pry bar.
8. Flush the shuttle tube with water.
9. Before resuming operation of the pump, perform the
“Reverse Pumping Procedure” to relieve pressure on
the shuttle tubes.
WARNING
Transporting
It will be necessary at times to move your pump from
one job site location to another. Before moving the
pump, make sure to pump the remaining concrete out
of the hopper.
Moving the pump with a
full hopper
of concrete can
cause
severe damage
or breakage of the axle and
axle springs, excess strain and pressure on the hub
and bearing assembly.
NOTICE
Leaking manifold seals or hose coupling gaskets which
leak water can cause separation and subsequent jamming
at that point.
