CLEAN UP OF THE PUMP
This sometimes may seem tedious, tiresome and a distasteful task, however, the clean up
is a
VERY IMPORTANT operation. We pointed out previously the importance of the pre-
operation inspection. The clean up is no different because it sets the stage as to how well
the pump will perform the next time it is used. The clean up involves the removal of
unpumped material remaining in the hopper, swing tube, material cylinders and delivery
system piping.
The flushing and cleaning operation should only be
done at LOW VOLUME.
•
At pump panel set VOLUME control to approximately 1/3 volume.
•
With everything still in tact, pump as much material out of the system as possible,
making sure there is still sufficient material in the hopper for lubrication of the piston
cups. Then turn
PUMP switch to OFF position.
•
Open the hopper clean out door and dispose of the remaining concrete.
•
Uncouple the delivery line at the pump outlet. If a reducer is used, disconnect the line
right after the reducer.
•
Using a water hose with spray nozzle attached to create some pressure, flush out the
inside of the hopper, the inside of the S-tube and reducer if used.
•
Place DIRECTION switch in REVERSE . Place the water hose through the pump
discharge outlet. START the PUMP . Water will drain into the material cylinders and
as pump cycles, any sand and rocks will be forced out through the open clean out
door. This will take approximately 10-12 strokes.
•
Remove the hose and continue to stroke the pump to make sure all the sand has been
cleaned out. Turn the pump OFF .
•
Close the hopper clean out door. Place the clean out sponge into the disconnected
delivery line. Reconnect the line to the hopper outlet or reducer with the sponge
inserted.
