5.10 CLEANING THE MACHINE
The operator must be specifically trained to perform the following operations. Ensure there is no residue
pressure inside the piping and no other persons are near-by, before opening a joint. This, potentially
dangerous, operation must always be carried out, with the utmost caution, by an experienced person.
Only authorised persons can work inside the dangerous area. No one else can stand near the machine.
- Stop the mixer, pumping, and electric vibrator once last mix is pumped.
- Reverse pumping. Make a few reverse pumping to depressurise the piping line, particularly near the delivery manifold.
- Stop the engine.
All the cleaning and discharching operations must be done with engine switched off.
- Release the bend on the delivery manifold.
- Open the bottom flap below the hopper and unload the residue material.
- Using a water jet, wash inside the hopper.
- Close the bottom flap.
Before start enging and concrete pumping, make sure that all safety devices are fully functional.
- Start engine.
- Insert a maximum of 15-20 cm the water pipe inside the delivery manifold.
- Activate reverse pumping.
- Stop the engine.
- Open the bottom flap and discharge the hopper.
- Continue for some cycles until only clear water comes out from the hopper.
- Cover the hopper and S valve walls with oil or other lubricant: in this way the mix inside the hopper has less possibilities of
forming deposits upon subsequent work session.
- We recomend covering the hopper with a tarpaulin to avoid foreign bodies falling inside it.
- Check there are no concrete residues inside the barrels, hopper, S valve and delivery manifold.
The non-pumped or unloaded from hopper residue material, must be disposed according to current laws.
To prevent damage, do not strike the material exhaust manifold with the hammer.
Sponging may be violent. Secure the end of the transport pipe securely. Do not turn the tube towards
yourself, other people, things or animals.
Also drain the water system from the residual water. Leave the faucets open to allow water to drain and
preserve the system in low temperatures.
After cleaning, turn off the machine. Put the pump and mixer selector in neutral. Turn the key in position 0 and pull it out. Close
the control door. Open the hood and unplug the battery. Close the bonnet with the side locks.
For long periods of inactivity, it is recommended to disassemble the battery and keep it in charge.
