The Schwing concrete pump circuit on the WP Series
pumps are designed to be operated at a maximum
pressure of 330 bar (4785 PSI). It is controlled by a
pressure compensated pump. To check the main system
pressure see Figure 49:
a. Be sure that the waterbox covers are installed
on the waterbox. We do not recommend using
the remote control box for the following
procedure.
b. Wear safety glasses when setting pressures.
c. Start the engine.
d. Close the quarter turn shut-off valves shown in
Figure 49.
e. Put the operator’s panel switch “remote /
local” into the “local” position.
f. Using the throttle control near the operator’s
panel, rev the engine up to full RPM.
g. Using the concrete pump “forward / neutral /
reverse” switch, put the concrete pump into the
“FORWARD” position. The unit will stroke no
more than once, then the rock cylinder will
retract. Oil will have nowhere to go except
over the main relief valve.
h. Read the pressure on the gauge, as shown. It
should read 330 bar for the WP 1250, 300 for
the WP 1000 and the 750-18, or 286 for the
750-15 and the BPA 450 and 500. Return the
pump to “neutral” whether in needs adjustment
or not.
i. Put the concrete pump into the “FORWARD”
position again. The machine will not stroke
this time, but will again develop maximum
pressure. Read the pressure on the gauge. If
more adjustment is needed, return the pump to
“NEUTRAL”, then repeat the steps until you
achieve the desired pressure.
