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.

Make sure brakes are synchronized and functioning properly.
■
Check tightness of suspension hardware (nuts and bolts).
■
Avoid sudden stops and starts. This can cause skidding, or
jackknifing. Smooth, gradual starts and stops will improve
gas milage.
■
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
proper pre-loading of the spring for a smooth performance.

The pumping piston (Figure 11) is forcing the material past ball (B) and out to the nozzle, also seating ball A so that the material will
not flow back to the hopper. This action also fills the compensating piston for the next stroke.

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.
Getting the concrete to flow through the

3.It is important that once the slurry procedure is completed,
and you have started concrete flowing through the hose, do
not stop the pour until all the slurry is pumped out and the
concrete has reached the end of the hose. The only time to
stop the pump at the start is if a blockage occurs.
4.When the pump is stopped for any reason during a pour; e.g.,
moving hose, waiting for redi-mix truck, the following suggestions are offered:
A.Leave the hopper full of concrete at the time of shutdown.
It is important not to let the

to wash out the pump and hoses and start over when the
new truck arrives.
between redi-mix trucks, it is advisable to add some
water to the last hopper of material and “hand mix” to
ensure an easier start with the following load.
ing method is suggested for starting: Take a water hose
with a nozzle on it and apply water with a fine spray to the
concrete as it comes down the redi-mix chute into the
pump hopper after the slurry procedure is completed and
you are ready to start pumping.
Using this procedure will make it easier to pump through
the clean hose. Note: Once the concrete has reached the
end of the hose, do not apply any more water in this
manner as this procedure is used on the start only.

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.
WARNING -
It will be necessary at times to move your pump from one job
site location to another. Before moving the pump, make sure to
pump the remaining concrete out of the hopper. Moving the

shipment. This procedure permits a thorough inspection of the
entire drive system and valving under simulated full load conditions.
The pump owner can do the same by attaching an adaptor couple
to the end of the discharge cone; e.g., the use of a standard 2 in.
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.
