C-30HDNI PUMP — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
■
ALWAYS use extreme care when operating near obstructions,
on slippery surfaces, grades and side slopes.
■
Unauthorized equipment modifications will void all
warranties.
■
Refer to the
Engine Owner's Manual for engine technical
questions or information.
■
Before start-up, check the hopper and remove all obstructions.
■
Keep all hands out of the hopper when the engine is running.
■
DO NOT operate the pump with the hood open.
■
Replace any worn or damaged pump components
immediately.
■
ALWAYS turn the engine
OFF before performing must be
before performing maintenance.
■
ALWAYS
make sure pump is correctly secured to the
trailer. Check all supports attaching the pump to the trailer
and make sure they are tight.
■
ALWAYS
make sure that the pump's trailer is placed on solid
level ground so that it cannot slide or shift around,
endangering workers. Place blocks under the trailer's bumper
to make it level (prevents tipping), and use a chocked block
underneath the wheels to prevent rolling. Also keep the
immediate area free of bystanders.
■
Before towing, check the hitch and secure the safety chain to
the towing vehicle. Also check for proper tire pressure.
■
Tow only with a vehicle and hitch rated to tow a 2,950 lbs.
(1,338 Kg) load.
■
If pump is equipped with ball hitch coupler, use only a 2” all
steel ball rated for a minimum of 5000 lbs. Use a 1” hardened
steel pull pin, if the pump is equipped with a pin hitch.
■
ALWAYS check the machine for loosened threads or bolts
before starting.
■
ALWAYS read, understand, and follow procedures in
Operator’s Manual before attempting to operate equipment.
■
ALWAYS be sure the operator is familiar with proper safety
precautions and operations techniques before using pump
■
A copy of this manual shall accompany the pump at all times.
■
DO NOT use worn out hoses or couplings; inspect daily.
■
DO NOT disconnect the hose couplings or nozzle while they
are under pressure. Relieve the pressure by manually
swinging the clamp arm latch handle to the first open position
at the exhaust cone outlet.
■
The pump should NEVER be towed in excess of 45 MPH (or
less depending on road conditions).
■
If hose lines are
blocked for any reason, or if the lines are
kinked when starting up or during pumping cycle, the pump
pressure could straighten out the kink or force out the
blockage. This rapid surge of material could cause the lines
to
move or whip in a manner that could cause injury to
personnel.
■
Inspect the hose lines at all times
■
DO NOT tow the pump with the hopper full of material.
■
DO NOT tow the pump with the hoses attached.

High Temperatures – Always stop engine and allow the
engine to cool before adding fuel, oil or performing service
and maintenance functions. Contact with
hot components
can cause serious burns.

disconnect any
"emergency or safety devices".
These devices are intended for operator safety. Disconnection
of these devices can cause severe injury, bodily harm or
even death! Disconnection of any of these devices will void
all warranties.
