afety Regulations - Concrete Pumps with
placing booms
READ OPERATION MANUAL FOR THE
MACHINE. It describes the safe, proper, and most
efficient way to operate. KNOW YOUR
MACHINE!
When operating the concrete pumps
and placing booms, the safety regula-
tions of the responsible employers’ lia-
bility insurance company have to be
observed. The observation of these reg-
ulations shall be the responsibility of
the contractor and operator.
The following are some supplementary recom-
mendations:
•
All safety devices and provisions against acci-
dents, such as warning labels and information
signs, coverings, etc., must be in place. Do not
remove or tamper with them. If they are miss-
ing, replace them.
See the following drawings for location of labels:

•
Check the operational reliability of the
machine each time before it is put into operation.
Any defects found must be repaired immediately.
•
Allow the machine to be operated and main-
tained by qualified personnel only.
•
Make use of handles and steps when ascending
or descending.
•
Keep steps, platforms, control and monitoring
devices, etc. free of dirt, oil, snow, and ice.
•
Before leaving the machine, protect it from
unauthorized use and unintentional movements.
•
Unauthorized presence in the immediate area
of the concrete pump and placing boom is not
allowed. Warn persons who are in the immediate
area. Stop work if persons do not leave the area
after having been warned.
•
Wear personal protective equipment when
operating the machine.
Traveling
•
Drive on bridges, decks, etc. only if the bearing
& height capacity is adequate.
•
The vehicle must not travel with an unfolded
boom.
•
When traveling, the shut-off valves of the out-
rigger cylinders must be shut, and the outrigger
must be locked by means of the transport safety
devices.
Jacking
•
Prior to jacking, check soil conditions. If nec-
essary, increase the support foot area by placing
square timbers underneath.
•
Keep sufficient distance from excavations;
slopes could break away because of support pres-
sures.
•
On inclines, place chocks behind the wheels,
release the break, let the vehicle run against the
chocks, and apply the brake again; then jack.
•
After jacking, close the shut-off valves of the
outrigger cylinders, otherwise the cylinders will
lose oil, and the machine could sink to one side.
Concrete Pump
•
In order to avoid concrete splashes due to suc-
tion of air, the agitator hopper must always be
filled with concrete up to the mixing shaft.
•
DO NOT OPERATE THE CONCRETE
PUMPS WITHOUT THE HOPPER GRILL
FIRMLY BOLTED DOWN.
•
NEVER ALLOW HANDS NEAR THE
GATE, VALVE, OR AGITATOR HOPPER
WHILE THE MACHINE IS RUNNING.
•
Before the gate or valve housing is opened,
stop the driving motor. If this is not possible (e.g.
in the case of cleaning work), the remote control
cable has to be disconnected to avoid unintentional
movement of the valve. The concrete pump opera-
tor must make sure that no unauthorized person is
present in the area of the open gate or valve hous-
ing or starts the concrete pump accidently.
Placing Boom
•
The placing boom may be operated only up to
a maximum wind speed of 48 m.p.h. (77 km/h =
wind force 8).
