SILICOSIS/ RESPIRATORY WARNINGS
WARNING
SILICOSIS WARNINGRESPIRATORY HAZARDS
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and
other materials with silica in their composition may give
off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a
basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and
numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or
substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can
cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including
silicosis. In addition, California and some other
authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a
substance known to cause cancer. When cutting such
materials, always follow the respiratory precautions
mentioned above.
WARNING
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and
other materials can generate dust, mists and fumes
containing chemicals known to cause serious or fatal
injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. If you are
unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular
process and/or material being cut or the composition of
the tool being used, review the material safety data
sheet and/or consult your employer, the material
manufacturer/supplier, governmental agencies such as
OSHA and NIOSH and other sources on hazardous
materials. California and some other authorities, for
instance, have published lists of substances known to
cause cancer, reproductive toxicity, or other harmful
effects.
Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where
possible. In this regard use good work practices and
follow the recommendations of the manufacturers or
suppliers, OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade
associations. Water should be used for dust
suppression when wet cutting is feasible. When the
hazards from inhalation of dust, mists and fumes cannot
be eliminated, the operator and any bystanders should
always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for
the materials being used.

C-30HDNI (ZENITH) PUMP — TOWING GUIDELINES
Towing Safety Precautions
CAUTION - Local Towing Regulations
Check with your county or state safety towing regulations
department before towing your concrete pump.
To reduce the possibility of an accident while transporting the
pump on public roads, always make sure that the trailer and the
towing vehicle are in good operating condition and both units
are mechanically sound.
The following list of suggestions should be used when towing
the pump:
■
Make sure that the hitch and coupling of the towing vehicle
are rated equal to, or greater than the trailer "gross vehicle
weight rating" (GVWR).
■
ALWAYS inspect the hitch and coupling for wear. NEVER
tow the light tower's trailer with defective hitches, couplings,
chains etc.
■
CHECK the tire air pressure on both the towing vehicle and
the trailer. Also check the tire tread wear on both vehicles.
■
ALWAYS make sure the trailer section of the pump is
equipped with a "Safety Chain".
■
ALWAYS attach trailer's safety chain to frame of towing
vehicle.
■
ALWAYS make sure that the vehicle and trailer directional,
backup, brake, and trailer lights are connected properly and
are working properly.
■
Remember in most cases the maximum speed unless
otherwise posted for highway towing is 45 MPH, however
before towing your pump, check your local state, and county
vehicle towing requirements. Recommended off-road towing
is not to exceed 10 MPH or less depending on type of terrain.

■
Avoid sharp turns to prevent rolling.
■
Retract wheel stand when transporting.
■
DO NOT transport pump with fuel in the fuel tank.
CAUTION -
If the trailer coupler is deformed replace entire coupler. NEVER
tow the pump with a defective trailer coupler. There exist the
possibility of the trailer separating from the towing vehicle.
Pump Trailer Vehicle Connection
1.Check the vehicle hitch ball, and trailer coupler for signs of
wear or damage. Replace any parts that are worn or
damaged before towing.
2.Use only the 2-inch ball diameter with a towing capability of
5,000 lbs. (2,268 kg) as indicated on the trailer's coupler.
Use of any other ball diameter will create an extremely
dangerous condition which can result in separation of the
coupler and ball or ball failure.
3.Be sure the coupler is secured to the hitch ball and the lock
lever is down (locked).
4.Attach safety chains as shown in Figure 2. Remember to
cross
5.After towing for about 50 miles recheck the entire towing
system for tightness.

Tires and wheels are a very important and critical components
of the trailer. When specifying or replacing the trailer wheels it is
important the wheels, tires, and axle are properly matched.
CAUTION -
DO NOT attempt to repair or modify a wheel. DO NOT install
an inter-tube to correct a leak through the rim. If the rim is
cracked, the air pressure in the inter-tube
may cause pieces of the rim to explode
(break-off) with great force and can cause
serious eye or bodily injury.
Tires Wear/Inflation
Tire inflation pressure is the most important factor in tire life.
Pressure should be checked cold before operation. DO NOT
bleed air from tires when they are hot. Check inflation pressure
weekly during use to insure the maximum tire life and tread wear.
Table 3 (Tire Wear Troubleshooting) will help pinpoint the causes
and solutions of tire wear problems.

Torsion Bar Suspension
The torsion bar suspension and associated hardware
(Figure 3) should be visually inspected every 6,000 miles for
signs of excessive wear, elongation of bolt holes, and loosening
of fasteners. Replace all damaged parts (suspension) immediately.
Figure 3. Major Suspension Components
MAYCO C-30HDNI (ZENITH) PUMP — OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #11 (04/03/12) — PAGE 17
It is extremely important to apply and maintain proper wheel
mounting torque on the trailer. Be sure to use only the fasteners
matched to the cone angle of the wheel. Proper procedure for
attachment of the wheels is as follows:
1.Start all wheel lug nuts by hand.
2.Torque all lug nuts in sequence (Figure 4). DO NOT torque
the wheel lug nuts all the way down. Tighten each lug nut in
3 separate passes as defined by Table 4.
3.After first road use, retorque all lug nuts in sequence. Check
all wheel lug nuts periodically.

C-30HDNI (ZENITH) PUMP — GENERAL INFORMATION
The following operating principles and operating suggestions
should prove helpful in the successful operation of your concrete
pump. Your new “small line” concrete pump has been designed
to give you many years of service when operated properly. A
study of the following paragraphs is important to the successful
operation of your new Direct-flow Concrete Placer.
All concrete pumps require a high level of operator skill and
more frequent service than most of the other construction
equipment. The highly abrasive nature of concrete under pressure
makes it extremely important that expendable wear components
be inspected at regular intervals between jobs to prevent having
to replace these items during a pour.
Experience has proved that inconsistency of batched concrete
mixes and frequent moving of the line requires the operator to be
readily available at all times during pumping to stop the pump
and prevent abuse to the unit which may occur if unexpected
blockages develop.
Pump Mix Guidelines
When ordering concrete, be certain to advise the concrete supplier
that you require a “
pump a wide variety of materials, but certain basic principles
must be followed to assure successful pumping, as follows:
Generally speaking, the washed concrete sand and #4 aggregate
(pea gravel) should conform to A.S.T.M. standards in regard to
sieve analysis. Sands in some areas are washed clean of the
#100 and #200 mesh fines, which results in separation and
jamming in the manifold while pumping under pressure.
If this condition develops, check with your concrete suppliers
engineers and get their recommendations for supplementing
the lack of the fines. The use of locally accepted ad-mixes may
be required. (For example, Pozzolith, Bentonite Clay, Plastiments,
etc.) When properly prescribed, additives form the plastic paste
sometimes necessary to hold the cement and aggregate together.
NOTE
Determine the cause of jamming, correct it and resume pumping.
Trying to force material through under jammed conditions may
result in damage to the drive system, thus voiding any warranty
services.
pump mix
”. The Direct-flow manifold will
If jamming conditions in the pump or
hose occur for any reason at all, do
not attempt to use more power to
correct the condition.
As a general rule, the use of approximately six sacks of cement,
70% washed concrete sand and 30% #4 pea gravel per yard of
concrete will result in a pumpable mix. The ideal nature of sand
and rock in certain areas may permit you to increase the
percentage of rock or adjust the mix considerably to meet the job
requirements. When possible, you may experiment with various
mixes in your area to determine the degree of versatility of the
Direct-flow Pump.
Uniform gradation of the washed concrete sand and the 1/2”
minus aggregate along with sufficient cement content and water
are important to a successful pump operation.
A recommended pumpable mix design would be 70% sand and
30% aggregate-cement content to be a minimum of 6 sacks.

Test laboratory data has proven in many areas that the above
mix guidelines have produced concrete rated at 3000 psi (28
day test) and upwards of 5000 psi with an increase in cement.
In some areas where the gradation of sand and rock is ideal and
sufficient cement is used along with admixtures, the Mayco small
line concrete pump will handle up to a 50-50 ratio of sand and
rock.
When the mix is designed for wet gunning applications, it is
normal to increase the cement (up to 7.5 or 8 sacks) and change
the sand to rock ratio to 85% sand and 15% rock.
The Mayco concrete pump will valve efficiently when using
cellular-foam concrete mixes upwards of 70 lbs. per cubic foot
wet density. (Below 70 lbs. materials (roof decks) the valving
becomes inefficient.)
Your local sand and rock engineers
will give you the S.S.D. weights of
sand and rock required in your local
area which will yield one cubic yard
per the above recommendation.

C-30HDNI (ZENITH) PUMP — HOW IT WORKS
The C-30HDNI concrete pump has one main pumping piston
which is valved by means of two ball checks. (A inlet, and B
outlet.)
The secondary piston is used as a compensator piston to smooth
out the pulsations of a single piston action. Note: The compensator
will not start operating until material is pumped into the line and
back pressure develops.
The
compensator spring
piston rod, deflects with each piston stroke. This “
in conjunction with the cam profile, produces and uninterrupted
smooth flow of material under average pumping conditions.
The pumping cylinder (Figure 10) retracts drawing the material
past the ball (A) and filling the cylinder. The compensator piston
is pumping the material out to the nozzle and causing ball (B) to
seat preventing the material from returning to the pumping cylinder
intake.
, which is installed on the compensator
spring cushion
An automatic, centrifugal clutch is installed to engage and
disengage the pumping action without stopping or starting the
engine. The
idle speed is approximately 875 R.P.M.; therefore, the clutch is
completely disengaged at idle. The throttle settings while pumping
should always maintain an engine R.P.M. high enough to prevent
the clutch from slipping and burning the clutch lining.
The return spring which is installed on the rocker arm, is installed
to eliminate shock and stress between the cam roller and the

cam weldment when the pump is in operation. If the return spring
is removed or replaced for any reason, maintain the backing
plate dimension of 3” as shown on Figure 3, to produce the

OPERATING SUGGESTIONS
1.A well-planned location of the pump and routing of the hose
before starting a pour may save subsequent moves throughout the job.
2.Before concrete is discharged into the hopper, it is suggested
that 3 to 4 gallons of water be sprayed into the hopper,
followed by approximately 5 gallons of a creamy cement and
water slurry (1/2 bag of cement to 5 gallons of water). This
procedure lubricates the hose and prevents separation and
blockages in the hose.

WARNING - Hose Blockage Hazard
If you repeatedly pull the throttle all the way out and try to force
your pump to push through
material in the hose or manifold, you will soon have
breakdowns and costly repairs which are not covered under
warranty.
If a blockage occurs, find where it is and clear it before further
pumping. DONOT increase the engine speed to clear the
blockage. Increasing the engine speed will only compound
the problem.

pipe cap with a 3/8 in. hole drilled in the center, screwed on to the
end of the hinged cone or reducer at the pump.
Fill the hopper with water after making sure that all sand and rock
have been removed from the manifold. Operate the pump at full
throttle and the 3/8 in. diameter hole restriction will create sufficient
back-pressure to make a thorough inspection of all moving parts.
Pumping Tips
1.The effects of heat and excessive time on concrete: Hot
concrete, commonly referred to as a hot load, is concrete that
has been in the redi-mix truck in excess of 2 to 3 hours. On a
hot day, this amount of time is even less. A brief explanation
of why heat and time affect concrete:
Concrete starts setting by drying up through a chemical
reaction. The catalyst to this reaction is heat. When pumping
a hot load, it is important to remember that when you have to
stop pumping for any reason, add water to the concrete in the
hopper and hand mix and move concrete in the hose every
5 minutes. If the shut down time becomes too long, wash out
immediately.

6.If a blockage occurs in a hose, “walk the hose” until you find
the point of trouble. The hose will be soft immediately past the
blockage. If this happens at the start, disconnect the hose at
the first coupling past the blockage.
Elevate the hose at that point with the blockage area hanging
down.

Using a hammer, you can pound the down-stream edge of the
packed area until it is free to flow. Shake all of the sand and
gravel out to the end of the hose. Before reconnecting the
hose, start the pump and run a small amount of concrete out
to the end of the hose. This will assure that all of the separation
is out of the hose.
7.Clearing a Plugged Manifold
The manifold is plugged if the volume at the discharge end
of the hose stops, and the hose is soft. The drive belts will start
to slip and the engine will lugdown.

C-30HDNI (ZENITH) PUMP — OPERATING INFORMATION
Down-Hill Pumping
Downhill pumping can be difficult on some jobs. It is suggested that
a sponge 2”x 4”x 6” be placed in the hose before the start of
pumping. Wet the sponge before placing it in the hose. Reference
the Operating Suggestions at the start of this section for slurry
procedures.
The reason for using the wet sponge is to keep the slurry from
running too far ahead of the concrete and so reducing the
possibility of separation. When the pump is stopped, the material
can flow slowly down, due to gravity, and cause the hose to
collapse.
When pumping is resumed, you can expect a blockage at the point
of hose collapse. To prevent this from happening, the hose can be
“kinked off” at the discharge end when the pump is stopped to
prevent the gravity flow of the material in the hose.
The use of stiffer mixes when pumping down-hill will decrease
gravity flow of the material in the hose and will assure a smoother
operation between the cam roller bearing and cam plate. As with
any job, make sure that the hose and the couplings are in good
workable shape.
Valve Seats
If the volume at the end of hose starts to decrease gradually and
eventually almost stops, it is quite likely that the
had excessive wear and need replacement. Once they have
reached a certain wear point, they may “channel out” rapidly and
material will reciprocate past the ball on each stroke.
The hollow
dents or appears to be badly worn. Sand and aggregate materials
in some areas are extremely sharp and hard and therefore highly
abrasive. Under these conditions when pumping stiff mixes, or to
high elevations which cause line pressures, it will be noted that
valve components may have short wear life.
If this condition exists, it is advisable to remove the manifold only,
and inspect the lower seat at the end of each day. If it appears that
the seat is beginning to “channel out", replace before starting the
next day’s pour.
The upper valve seat can be inspected after each washout by
running your finger around lower edge of seat where the ball
makes contact. You can reach this from the inside of the hopper. Be
sure that the engine is turned off.

Vertical Pumping
When pumping vertically up the side of a building, above 40 feet,
we would recommend the installation of
fastened at intervals as necessary to support the pipe. Ninety
degree, long radius pipe sweeps should be installed at the top and
bottom of the steel line.
Use a 25 ft. hose, or short section, off the pump; and for the balance
of the horizontal distance to the vertical line, use steel pipe. This
type of installation has been satisfactory on many jobs being
pumped in excess of 100 feet high. Line pressures are always less
using steel pipe as compared to hose.
When pumping vertically using
to go higher than 50 feet with hose. The hose should be tied off at
intervals of 10 feet, if possible. Special attention should be given
when tieing the hose off at the top as the hose will have a tendency
to stretch when filled with concrete. This will increase the possibility of a blockage at the point where the hose is tied off. To avoid
this, a long radius of 90 degree elbow is recommended. The
suggested place to tie off is on the hose, under the clamp.
NOTE

Pulsation
A slight pulsation of the hose will always be noticeable near the
pump. Excessive pulsation of the hose near the pump is normally
due to higher than average line pressures caused by stiff, harsh
mixes, or extremely long pumping distances.
The use of 2 -1/2” I.D. hose in these extreme cases reduces line
pressures or the addition of slight amounts of water to the mix, if
permissible, will permit easier pumping. The use of certain pumping admixtures may help.
If excessive pulsation exists in the hose, it is advisable to use
burlap or some means of wear protection under the hose at points
where the hose may wear through the outer cover; e.g. over forms,
steel or sharp curbs.

C-30HDNI (ZENITH) PUMP — OPERATING INFORMATION
Cam Roller
If the cam roller does not ride on the cam profile smoothly, it may
be caused by insufficient line back-pressure; e.g., a wet mix with
only 50 feet of hose. Add more hose as necessary. It can also be
caused by cavitation or the passing of over-sized aggregates
through the valving, causing it to skip.
Snap-Joint
When using Snap-Joint couplings with gaskets to join hose, see
that they are washed clean after each job. Keeping the hose ends
clean (heavy duty) is very important for the best job setup. A thin
coat of grease on the rubber gasket or dipping both coupling and
gasket in water before coupling the hose will make for easier
installation.

General Clean-up Procedure
1.Ensure that there is no blockage in the hose and line
(Pumping Tips, step 8) or in the manifold (Pumping Tips,
step 7). If a blockage exists, clear it to ensure proper
operation the next time it is used. At the end of every pour,
or during long delays during a pour, the pump and delivery
system must be thoroughly cleaned by removing all concrete material.
2.Proper wash out of all materials or build up within the
pump manifold and hoses following the pumping operation will prevent problems when starting the next job. After
completion of the pour, pump the remaining concrete in
the hopper through the discharge line.
NOTE
3.Turn the pump engine off before filling the hopper with water.
Engine vibration at idle may “separate” material in the hopper,
causing jamming in manifold when pumping is resumed.
To avoid the possibility of separation
during clean-up, do not pump the
concrete below the inlet ball in the
hopper. It is best to leave approximately 3 to 4 inches of concrete above
the inlet ball.
4.Fill hopper with water and resume pumping. The water will
push the concrete through the line. When the water runs clear
at the end of the hose, disconnect lines and shake out all the
sand and sediment so the lines will be clean for the next pour.
5.It is important that the hinged discharge cone on the pump
manifold be opened and all remaining concrete (rock and
sand) be thoroughly washed out. This must be done after
each job to prevent concrete build up in the discharge
manifolds and 3” discharge elbow.

Ball and Seat Replacement Procedure
1.Remove 3”x 2” reducer and 3” elbow from the pump outlet.
Remove exhaust gate and Y-manifold (secondary manifold).
Check ball seat and ball stop pin for wear. If any wear is
detected, the part should be replaced. Remove T-manifold
(primary manifold). Check all parts for wear. Remove hopper
and hopper seat and inspect.
2.Loosen the piston nuts and remove the piston cup assembly
and cylinders. Inspect all parts for wear and replace parts with
excessive wear. Check oiler pump for proper operation.
3.Clean all parts thoroughly, removing all foreign material and
concrete slurry. Once parts are clean, install concrete cylinders. Place oiler plate O-ring in place and coat with oil. Install
small O-ring on piston rod. Run oiler line through the cylinders
and connect in the oiler fitting on the oiler plate.
4.Push oiler plate into cylinder. Install ring and felt holder, soak
felt ring in oil, then install around felt holder in cylinder. Make
sure the bronze ring is flat, then push it up flush with the ring
and felt holder.
5.Coat piston cup with oil and push it into the cylinder. Install
bushing into center of piston cup. Put small O-ring on rod,
place face plate on rod and tighten down securely. Repeat
these procedure on the opposite cylinder.
6.Thoroughly check T-manifold, ball stoppings and both steel
balls for wear. Insert an O-ring in the top flange and in the
leading edge of the manifold. Put the manifold onto the
primary side of the pump and install bolts leaving them loose.
7.Check Y-manifold for wear, install all O-rings, ball stop pin, ball
and seat. Align and install Y-manifold to T-manifold and
cylinder assembly. Tighten Y-manifold bolts first before tightening T-manifold bolts. After manifolds are tight, check O-rings
for slippage.
8. Insert seat into frame hole directly above the T-manifold. The
seat orifice should fit inside the frame itself, then the seat sits
on top of the orifice. On the dura-seat, set the big end of the
seat in the frame. The seat, or the small part of the dura-seat,
fits into the bottom of the hopper.
9.After tightening the manifold bolts and inserting the seats in
place, set the hopper over the seat and align the bolt holes.
Tighten bolts, check O-ring and seat for alignment.
10. Check exhaust gate for wear, install and align gate onto
Y-manifold. Insert O-ring into exhaust gate flange and close
gate. Lock down lever and adjust clamp arm.

5.The drive chain should be adjusted regularly to remove all
slack. Once all slack is removed, DO NOT over-adjust, as this
will overload the shaft bearings. A slack chain on the crank
drive creates backlash and shock loads on the shafts and
bearings which results in shorter wear/life of the drive components.

Roller Chain Application
A properly selected, installed and maintained
(Figure 28) is an extremely versatile means of power transmission.
It is possible, however, to greatly reduce a chain’s life and even
induce failure if the chain is abused through improper installation,
operating or maintenance procedures. In certain applications,
failure can lead to personal injury or property damage.
Figure 28. Drive Chain
Recommendations and comments on how to get the most from
your roller chain drive are given in this section. The drive chain
used in the MAYCO C-30HDNI pump is manufactured by the
"DIAMONDCHAIN COMPANY
Working Loads
UTS-Ultimate Tensile Strength-is the one time pull required to
break the chain. For single strand chain, the load (pull) applied
to the chain in service should never exceed 1/6th of the UTS for
the chain being used except as noted below.
TM
"
drive chain
Installation and Drive Alignment
Chain and sprockets (Figure 29) must be installed correctly.
Sprockets must be properly aligned and sprocket shafts must be
parallel so the drive will run in a plane perpendicular to them.
Axial alignment should be checked with a straight edge which
will extend across the finished sides of the sprockets. They should
be true-running with minimum wobble and eccentricity. The higher
the drive speed, the more important these details become.
Figure 29. Shaft and Drive Sprocket Alignment
The chain should be installed so the slack span is properly
tensioned. To check chain tension (Figure 30), turn one sprocket
to tighten the upper span of the chain while holding the other
sprocket fixed. The lack span should have 4-6% of span length in
the mid-span movement for horizontal drives and 2-3% for
vertical drives.
It is possible to exceed the allowable working loads for a limited
number of cycles, but you should contact Diamond Chain
Company before this is considered. A roller chain should never
be loaded above 50% of UTS for even one cycle. To do so
will damage the chain structure and reduce its capacity.
The UTS or one time breaking load of multiple strand chain is
the UTS of a single strand chain times the number of strands; i.e.,
two strand chain is twice as strong as single.
When allowable working loads are considered, however, the
capacity of each strand in a multiple strand chain is only 65% of
the single strand rating; thus, three-strand chain would rate not
three times single but only 1.95 times. This is because the chain
load cannot be exactly distributed across all three strands of the
three-strand chain.
A roller chain’s capacity can be significantly reduced if it is twisted
or bent sideways in the direction of the pin axis. Exercise particular
care in alignment of hoist or other applications where loads are
suspended near personnel.

C-30HDNI (ZENITH) PUMP — MAINTENANCE (PUMP)
Drive Chain Lubrication
As a chain articulates in entering and leaving a sprocket, there is
relative movement between pin and bushing surfaces. These
surfaces wear causing chain elongation. If a lubricant film can be
maintained between the pin and bushing, the wear rate is very
slow and the chain wear life very long. Maintaining the oil film is
relatively simple at low speeds but becomes increasingly difficult
as the speed increases.
It is recognized that good lubrication is not possible in many
applications, so shorter wear life must be accepted in these
situations.
In general, chain wear leads to rough or unsatisfactory service
prior to actual chain breakage. Good lubrication can help to
prevent chain failure by providing protection against rust or
corrosion. Rusting can allow pits to form in the surfaces of the
chain parts causing stress concentration points. This can lead to
chain failure at relatively low loads.
The clearance between pin and bushings is very small
(Figure 31), on the order of .003 to .005 inches. A lubricant must
be thin enough to flow into the chain. SAE 30 weight oil is about
right for room temperature. Lighter oil should be used for lower
ambients and heavier for higher operating temperatures. Grease
should not be used as it cannot penetrate chain clearances.

C-30HDNI (ZENITH) PUMP — ENGINE TROUBLESHOOTING
Practically all breakdowns can be prevented by proper handling and maintenance inspections, but in the event of a breakdown,
please take a remedial action following the diagnosis based on the Engine Troubleshooting (Table 6) information shown below and
on the proceeding page. If the problem cannot be remedied, please leave the unit just as it is and consult our company's business
office or service plant.
The Mayco C-30HDNI concrete pump features an engine malfunction indicator LED, found on the control panel
(Figure 8). When a malfunction in the operation of the engine is detected, the light will blink in sequence to indicate an error code.
Use the Diagnostic Error Code Table (Table 7) to troubleshoot the malfunction.
Determining an Error Code
The malfunction indicator light blinks in two patterns; long and short. Count the long blinks to determine the first digit of the error
code. Count the short blinks to determine the second digit of the error code.
For example, four long blinks and five short blinks represent error code 45, indicating a faulty oxygen sensor.

APPENDIX — C-30HDNI C-30HDNI SLUMP TEST PROCEDURE
1.To obtain a representative sample (concrete), take several
samples at three or more regular intervals throughout the
discharge of the mixer or truck. DO NOT take samples at the
beginning or end of the discharge.
2.Dampen the inside of the cone and place it on a smooth, moist,
nonabsorbent, level surface large enough to accommodate
both the slumped concrete and the slump cone. Stand on the
“foot pieces” throughout the test procedure to hold the cone
firmly in place.
3.Fill the cone 1/3 full by volume (Figure 38-A) and rod 25 times
with a 1/2” dia x 24” lg. bullet-pointed steel rod. (This is a
specific requirement which will produce non-standard results unless followed exactly.) Distr ibute rodding evenly over
the entire cross section of the sample.
4. Fill cone another 1/3 (Figure 38-B) which will make the cone

APPENDIX — C-30HDNI CONCRETE MIX INFORMATION
The following information has been extracted from actual testing laboratory reports. The purpose of this printing is only to help
create a better understanding of the importance of uniform gradation and proportioning of materials which affect pumpability of
concrete mixes. These weights and proportions illustrate that when the sieve analysis is ideal, the sand/rock ratio can be adjusted
(65% sand 35% rock) and pumpability should be excellent.

General recommendations
■
If the site will permit, use steel pipe from the pump
to the pool perimeter. It will reduce line pressures
which is highly recommended.
■
The vibrator on the reducer by the pool improves
pumpability.
■
Turn both air vibrators off whenever the pump is
stopped to prevent separation of mix.
■
The air vibrators are low consumption (4.2 scfm).
■
Leave the air on at the nozzle when the pump is
stopped to prevent clogging of air the hoses in the
air insert.
■
Use item #11 (steel elbow) at the edge of the pool
to prevent collapse of the rubber hose, which can
cause blockage.

pattern. DO NOT INSTALL THE NOZZLE AT THE END OF THE HOSE UNTIL THE FIRST MATERIAL
HAS PASSED THROUGH THE ENTIRE HOSE LENGTH.
Disassemble and clean the nozzle assembly thoroughly after each job. Grease all threads before reassembly. DO NOT close the air valve when pumping is stopped as a continued air flow keeps the air
passages clean.
