LS600 PUMP — GENERAL INFORMATION

CONCRETE MIX DESIGN

Mix design is most important to achieve maximum pumpability. Pumpability is affected by, among other factors, the type and gradation of aggregate used. Natural aggregates make a more workable mix and pump more readily than crushed aggregates. A blend of natural and crushed aggregates will produce a workable mix. The type and gradation of aggregates is equally important for workability as the size and percentage of coarse aggregates in the mix.

The term “aggregates” describes all of the solid materials, from the largest rock to the smallest grain of sand, contained in the concrete mix.

Concrete mixes with a consistency as dry as one-inch slump and as wet as ten-inch slump have been pumped; but for maximum efficiency from the pump, a slump ranging from two to six inches will produce a more workable mix than one that contains more or less water.

The principle of concrete pumping is based on selflubrication. As it moves through the transfer line, the concrete takes the shape of a plastic cylinder. It is forced through the transfer line on a film of mortar that is selftroweled to the service of the transfer line around its full periphery by the slug of concrete itself.

A slump rating should be used with discretion; it is not always a real indication of the pumpability of the mix. The concrete may be workable in the sense that it will readily flow into place, but the same mix may not respond to pressure. Overly wet mixes tend to separate. In addition to affecting the strength and quality of the concrete, the delivery system will not tolerate separation. Overly dry

mixes are similarly unsatisfactory if they lack plasticity and tend to be crumbly. To be properly pumped, the mix must be able to continuously coat the inside of the line with a lubricating seal of mortar.

There are four ways in which this seal can be lost:

1. By pumping excessively wet mixes which do not have enough cohesion to hold together.

2. By pumping harsh undersanded concrete with poorly graded aggregates which can jam together when the pressure becomes too great for the insufficient amount of sand to hold the aggregates apart.

3. By getting a rock pocket, such as mixer tailings, into the pump valve. This rock pocket will have an insufficient coating of mortar and the mix will not be plastic enough to allow the valve to operate or the mix to move in the line.

4. Through excessive bleeding. If the mix is short or fines, but the sand is otherwise fairly well graded, bleeding will not normally create any problems as long as the pump continues operation. But, if the pump is shut down, bleeding can result in a loss of lubrication and blocked erratic flow.

The above are bad concrete practices, regardless of how the mix is to be placed. But, these points do show that special mixes are not always needed, within limits, for pumping concrete. Good aggregate gradation is most important to pump concrete the maximum distance.

The use of admixtures can have a beneficial effect on pumpability. Most of the dispersing agents will fatten, retard bleeding, and increase workability. Thus, the average concrete can be pumped for appreciably longer distances. Air entraining agents will also improve workability, although they cannot be used as a substitute for good gradation of the aggregate. Pumping will not appreciably affect the final air content of the mix. High-early cement tends to give a

MAYCO LS600 PUMP — OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #4 (9/15/11) — PAGE 15

LS600 PUMP — GENERAL INFORMATION

more readily pumpable mix with superior water retaining qualities. However, if delays are likely to occur, extra care must be exercised due to the faster setting time over regular cement.

The Mayco LS600 models will pump a wide variety of concrete pump mixes. But, there are guidelines that must be followed. Use this information in conjunction with the

3. Sufficient cement to produce the required design

Use a minimum of:

REGIONAL DIFFERENCES

Concrete is made by mixing locally available rock and sand with cement and water. For this reason there are great differences in the pumpability of concrete from one region of the country to another.

It is impossible to define a specific mix for each region that the concrete pump be will working in. Therefore, the mixes listed in Appendix - Concrete Mix Information will provide a basic guideline for establishing the proper mix design for your area.

Use this information to specify your requirements to your local ready-mix batch plant, contractor and civil engineer. It may take minor adjustments to make a mix pumpable, so you should explain your needs.

The elements that have to be controlled and consistently maintained by the batch plant are:

5. The proper amount of water to make a workable slump

LS600 PUMP — HOW IT WORKS

The following is a brief explanation of how the concrete cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, shuttle tube, valves and hopper work in sequence to pump concrete.

The hydraulic pressure is generated by a variable volume, pressure compensated, axial piston pump that is driven by a diesel engine. The rod sides of the drive cylinders are hydraulically connected together creating a “slave circuit,” which allows hydraulic oil to transfer from one piston to the other.

The two part cycling sequence is initiated by an electrical signal generated by two proximity switches activated by the drive cylinder. The proximity switches are normally open, magnetically sensing the movement of the main drive cylinder. As the drive cylinder piston head passes the proximity switch, an electrical signal is sent to the solenoid operated pilot valve which in turn directs pilot oil to the four valves controlling the drive cylinder and the shuttle cylinder.

A one-gallon accumulator assists the movement of the shuttle tube. This circuit assures that the shuttle tube will throw with the same intensity of each stroke regardless of how fast the main drive cylinders are cycling.

Figure 4. Pumping Cycle 2

In the first cycle, hydraulic pressure is applied to cylinder (B), causing the hydraulic piston, which is connected to the concrete piston and piston cup, to discharge concrete into the delivery line (Figure 3).

As one cylinder is discharging concrete, the hydraulic oil from the rod side (B) of the drive cylinders is being transferred through the slave circuit causing the opposite cylinder (A) to move back on the suction stroke, filling the cylinder with concrete.

The shuttle tube is sequenced to pivot to each concrete cylinder as the drive cylinders stroke to push concrete. As the second cycling sequence begins (Figure 4), the shuttle tube pivots to the opposite cylinder (A). The hydraulic piston passes under the proximity switch and sends pressure to the piston, causing it to stroke and discharge concrete into the delivery line. Hydraulic oil is transferred through the slave circuit to cylinder B, causing it to start a suction stroke, refilling it with concrete. The pumping sequence then repeats for the duration of the operation.

HOSE LUBRICATION

PUMPING

Before pumping, it is necessary to lubricate the hose. This procedure prevents separation and blockages in the

hose. Inspect the lines at all times to prevent problems. Before concrete is discharged into the hopper, it is sug-

gested 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).

Getting the concrete to flow through the hose at the start of the pumping cycle can be one of the most critical operations of the pour.

1. Place the

PRIMING THE PUMP WITH SLURRY MIXTURE

position (Figure 26) for normal pumping operation. It is CRITICAL to the successful operation of a concrete pump that the manifold and all delivery hoses, pipes and elbows are coated with a film of lubrication BEFORE you attempt to pump concrete.

Failure to properly prepare the pump and system will result in a “dry pack” of concrete, blocking the shuttle valve tube or delivery line.

8. It is important that once the slurry procedure is completed, and concrete is 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 during the priming procedure is if a blockage occurs.

9. If it is necessary to replace or add a section of delivery system, after the initial lubrication procedure, wet the inside area of the hose, pipe or elbow with 5 gallons of water per 25 foot length, before adding it to the system.

LS600 PUMP — PUMPING INFORMATION

REMIXTURES

Remixtures that are designed into the concrete mix by the redi-mix company or an architectural engineering company. This section lists common admixtures and a brief explanation of their functions:

A. Pozzolith 300 – or the equivalent acts as a water

retarder and a lubricant. On a lean mix, long pushes, stiff mixes, and vertical pushes, Pozzolith 300R helps pumpability.

B. MBVR – air entraining, acts as a lubricant. C. Calcium Chloride – commonly referred to as C.C.,

is used as an accelerator. When pumping a load with calcium chloride, it is recommended that you wash out if the waiting time between delivery trucks becomes too long.

D. Super Plasticizers – acts as an accelerator. The

concrete will look very wet after the super plasticizer is added, but will begin to set up very fast. Wash out immediately if you do not have a truck waiting. Super plasticizers are used mainly on commercial jobs.

E. Red Label – acts as a water retarder and an accelera-

tor. Red label will be used mainly on commercial jobs.

When pumping is resumed, you can expect 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 downhill 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.

VERTICAL PUMPING

When pumping vertically up the side of a building, above 40 feet, we would recommend the installation of securely 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.

steel pipe

F. Fly Ash – is used to help increase the strength of the

concrete and decrease the cement content per yard. This is one of the most common admixtures used.

All admixtures will be shown on the redimix concrete ticket. Before starting the pumping job, ask the driver of the redi-mix truck to see the concrete ticket and note the admixtures that exist and take the proper action.

DOWNHILL PUMPING

Downhill pumping can be a difficult procedure on some jobs. The slurry procedure would be the same as explained

Priming The Pump With Slurry Mixture

It is suggested that a sponge approximately 2”x 4”x 6” in size be placed in the hose before the start of pumping.

Wet the sponge before placing it in the hose to keep the slurry from running too far ahead of the concrete, which will reduce the possibility of separation. When the pump is stopped, the material can flow slowly down, due to gravity, and cause the hose to collapse.

section of this manual.

When pumping vertically, using mended not 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 90º elbow is recommended. The suggested place to tie off is on the hose, under the clamp.

HOSE 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.

LS600 PUMP — PUMPING INFORMATION

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.

SNAP-JOINT COUPLINGS

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.

NEW PUMPS

All new pumps are ‘water pressure tested” at the factory This procedure permits a thorough inspection of entire drive system and valving under simulated full load conditions. The pump owner can do the same by making an adapter to couple to the end of the discharge cone: e.g., the use of a standard 2" pipe cap with a 3/8" drilled hole in the center, screwed on to the end of hinged cone or reducer at the pump.

Fill the hopper with water after making sure that all sand and rock have been removed from manifold. Operate pump at full throttle and the 3/8" diameter hole restriction will create sufficient back pressure to make thorough inspection of all moving parts.

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

If it is necessary to wait 1/2 hour or more for another load of concrete, to prevent setting of the mix in the system, it is advisable to consider the following factors ( affecting the concrete:

A. How old is the concrete?

B. Is there an accelerator, calcium chloride, red label,

C. The temperature of the day, 80, 90, degrees?

D. How much system you have out and how stiff was

PREVENTING MIX SET-UP AFTER PUMP SHUTDOWN

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:

1. Leave the hopper full of concrete at the time of shutdown. It is important not to let the too much water into the hopper, as this could cause separation of the concrete in the hopper.

2. If the the engine so the vibration does not separate the mix in the hopper which can cause a blockage in the manifold when the pump is started.

3. If it is necessary to wait 10 minutes or more for another load of concrete, it is wise to start the pump and pump 6 or 8 strokes every 5 minutes to prevent setting of the mix in the system. If waiting time is excessive, it would be wise to wash out the pump and hoses and start over when the new truck arrives.

4. When pumping stiff mixes and there is waiting time 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.

5. When the pumping job requires a stiffer mix, the following 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.

LS600 PUMP — PUMPING INFORMATION

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 for starting only.

6. Hose sizing is very important: We strongly recommend on harsh mixes, vertical pushes, stiff concrete, shotcrete, long pushes, that a 2 -1/2” line be used as far as possible. The advantages of using the 2 -1/2” line are improved pumpability, less pumping pressure and less wear on the pump.

7. Following the pump operation, proper wash out of all materials or “build-up” within the pump manifold and hoses will prevent problems when starting the next job.

8. A thorough inspection of the drive components and greasing of all bearings after each job will ensure adequate lubrication and service to the pump which is normally operating in wet, gritty conditions.

Over-greasing any pump will not damage the bearing.

CLEARING CONCRETE BLOCKAGE

If you repeatedly pull the throttle all the way out and try to force your pump to push through

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. DO NOT increase the engine speed to clear the blockage. Increasing the engine speed will only compound the problem.

If a blockage occurs in a hose, the point of trouble. The hose will be soft immediately past the blockage. To clear the blockage:

1. Disconnect the hose at the first coupling past the blockage.

CLEARING THE SYSTEM AFTER MIX SET UP

If, for any reason, the mix should set up in the system, the following procedure is suggested:

1. Disconnect the hose from the pump and wash the pump out immediately.

WARNING - HOSE/LINE PRESSURE

When disconnecting hoses, use EXTREME CAUTION! The hose is under pressure!

2 Reconnect the hose and fill the hopper with water.

3. Reconnect the hose and fill the hopper with water. DO NOT try to push all the concrete out of all of the hose lines at one time.

For example: If you had 200 ft. of system out, you would disconnect each hose. Clean it out by pushing water through the first hose off the pump, then continue progressing through all the hoses, until all the system is clean.

Use extreme care! The hose line is under and can cause serious injury.

2. Elevate the hose at that point with the blockage area hanging down.

3. Using a hammer, you can pound the downstream 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.

4. 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.

6. Scoop out 12 inches of concrete from the inboard end of the delivery hose. “Cork screw” a 6" x 6" x 8" sponge into the end of the first hose section. Reconnect the hose to the discharge elbow.

7. Fill hopper with water. Pump until sponge and clean water come out the discharge end of the hose and line system.

8. When the pump has been used to pump small aggregate concrete (pea rock, ½" minus) or mixes with high fines content (60% or more sand) there will be a tendency for hardened concrete to build up on the inside surface of the shuttle tube. Therefore, at the end of every such pour, after the pump and system have been cleaned and the engine shut off, remove all remaining concrete.

9. When the pump has been used to pump large aggregate concrete (" to 1 (" follow the instructions in step 8 once per week.

The Mayco pump is equipped with an in-tank return hydraulic filter with a 10 micron cleanable filter. The element has been designed to remove all particles large enough to cause wear and job break down. Under normal conditions, we recommend replacement every 6 month.

The most important factor to keep in mind is the effect of cold weather on the hydraulic oil. The viscosity (thickness) of the hydraulic oil will be much heavier.

ALWAYS run machine until oil temperature reaches a minimum of 50°F. before pumping. Damage to the main piston pump will occur if the machine is cycled too fast before the oil temperature reaches the minimum of 50°F. Cycle the machine at 6-8 strokes per minute at approximately 1/3 throttle.

In areas where the weather normally remains use Shell Oil Tellus 46 (or the equivalent). The above steps must be followed or severe damage to the main axial piston pump can occur.

BRAKE SYSTEM

The brake system should be periodically checked. Look for fluid leaks worn or cracked hoses. Check the reservoir for proper fluid levels. The Atwood surge brake should be checked for damage. Make sure that all links and pivots are kept lubricated.

1. Keep all links and pivots lubricated to prevent rusting and ensure ease of operation. Using SAE 30 oil, lubricate inside the release handle and inside the actuator body. This can be reached from the underside of the actuator.

Lubricate the hitch ball with conventional automotive grease or a lubricant made for hitch balls.

2. Check for any leaks in the brake system. Periodic checks should be made on all hoses to guard against cuts and worn hoses which may cause failure (leaks, rupturing under pressure, and collapsing). Replace defective hoses.

CAUTION - MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER

DO NOT fill the master cylinder reservoir with used

brake fluid. DO NOT fill the reservoir beyond ½" from top. DO NOT overfill; brake fluid will damage paint.

3. Check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir. Keep it filled to within ½" from the top of the reservoir.

4. At the beginning of each year, inspect the brakes for excessive wear, replace the linings if necessary.

Wheel bearings and seals should be inspected and packed at this time.

WEAR PLATE AND CUTTING RING

Due to the abrasive nature of concrete, it is normal for the cutting ring to wear on its sides as it shears through the concrete inside the hopper. The metal-to-metal friction and the abrasiveness of the concrete will cause extreme wear and reduce sealing capability between the cutting ring and wear plate. If the two components do not properly seat against each other, slurry will pump into the hopper rather than out the discharge line. See Figure A. This condition can easily be observed:

1. The sudden change of the level of concrete inside the hopper during each pumping stroke

2. Concrete slurry squirting into the air from the hopper (Volcano effect)

It is important that the wear components be inspected weekly for proper sealing. Failure to inspect will eventually cause severe damage to the nun-plate and material cylinders. Visually inspect wear plate and cutting ring to ensure surfaces are sealed against each other. If a deep groove or a wide space has developed on the sealing surfaces, it is time for replacement.

Due to the motion of the Shuttle tube, the cutting ring experiences a quicker rate of wear as opposed to the wear plate. The wear ring typically requires replacement two times per wear plate (2 to 1). When replacing the wear ring, also

CHANGING THE CONCRETE CYLINDER PISTON CUPS

The Rubber piston cups will occasionally require replacement depending on the following factors.

■

The fluid level and cleanliness of the lubrication box.

■

The size and type of aggregate.

■

The type of concrete being pumped.

It is time to replace the cups when increasingly large particles of sand and cement pass into the lubrication box. Do not allow the cups to become so worn that they begin to pass lubrication into the material cylinders. If the liquid level of the lubrication box becomes to low, the rubber cups will severely deform due to excessive heat. Whenever replacement is due, both cylinder cups should be replaced.

vehicle. The hydraulic braking system must be inspected at least as often as the brakes on the tow vehicle, but no less than once per year. This inspection includes an assessment of the condition and proper operation of the wheel cylinders, brake shoes, brake drums and hubs.

Manually Adjusting the Brakes

Most axles are fitted with a brake mechanism that will adjust the brakes during a hard stop. However, some braking systems are not automatically adjusted by hard stopping. These brakes require manual adjustment. The following steps apply to adjust most manually adjustable brakes.

1. Jack up the trailer and secure it on adequate capacity

shoes. Adjust the brake shoes out until the pressure of the linings against the drum makes the wheel very difficult to turn. Note: Your trailer maybe equipped with drop spindle axles. See axle manual for your axle type. You will need a modified adjusting tool for adjusting the brakes in these axles. With drop spindle axles, a modified adjusting tool with about an 80 degree angle should be used.

5. Rotate the starwheel in the opposite direction until the wheel turns freely with a slight drag.

6. Replace the adjusting-hole cover.

7. Repeat the above procedure on all brakes.

8. Lower the trailer to the ground.

TRAILER SAFETY INFORMATION

Safety precautions should be followed at all times when operating this equipment. Failure to read, understand and follow the Operating Instructions could result in injury to yourself and others. Loss of control of the trailer or tow vehicle can result in death or serious injury.

Common Causes for Loss of Trailer

■

Driving too fast for the conditions (maximum speed

when towing a trailer is 55 m.p.h.).

■

Overloading the trailer or loading the trailer unevenly

■

Trailer improperly coupled to the hitch

■

No braking on trailer

■

Not maintaining proper tire pressure

■

Not keeping lug nuts tight

■

Not properly maintaining the trailer structure.

■

Ensure machine is towed level to tow vehicle.

Trailer Towing Guidelines

■

Recheck the load tiedowns to make sure the load will not shift during towing.

■

Before towing, check coupling, safety chain, safety brake, tires, wheels and lights.

■

Check the lug nuts or bolts for tightness.

■

Check coupler tightness after towing 50 miles.

■

Use your mirrors to verify that you have room to change lanes or pull into traffic.

■

Use your turn signals well in advance. Allow plenty of stopping space for your trailer and tow vehicle.

■

Allow plenty of stopping space for your trailer and tow vehicle.

■

DO NOT drive so fast that the trailer begins to sway due to speed.

ALWAYS use lower gears for climbing and descending grades.

■

DO NOT ride the brakes while descending grades, they may get so hot that they stop working. Then you will potentially have a runaway tow vehicle and trailer.

■

To conserve fuel, don’t use full throttle to climb a hill. Instead, build speed on the approach.

■

Slow down for bumps in the road. Take your foot off the brake when crossing the bump.

■

DO NOT brake while in a curve unless absolutely necessary. Instead, slow down before you enter the curve and power through the curve. This way, the towing vehicle remains in charge.

■

DO NOT apply the brakes to correct extreme trailer swaying. Continued pulling of the trailer, and even slight acceleration, will provide a stabilizing force.

■

Anticipate the trailer “swaying.” Swaying is the trailer reaction to the air pressure wave caused by passing trucks and buses. Continued pulling of the trailer provides a stabilizing force to correct swaying. DO NOT apply the brakes to correct trailer swaying.

■

Use lower gear when driving down steep or long grades. Use the engine and transmission as a brake. Do not ride the brakes, as they can overheat and become ineffective.

■

Be aware of your trailer height, especially when approaching roofed areas and around trees.

■

Make regular stops, about once each hour. Confirm that: A. Coupler is secure to the hitch and is locked. B. Electrical connectors are secure. C. There is appropriate slack in the safety chains. D. There is appropriate slack in the breakaway switch

pullpin cable.

E. Tires are not visibly low on pressure.

■

Allow plenty of room for passing. A rule of thumb is that the passing distance with a trailer is 4 times the passing distance without the trailer.

■

Shift your automatic transmission into a lower gear for city driving.

MAYCO LS600 PUMP — OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #4 (9/15/11) — PAGE 47

WARNING - Drive Safely

Driving too fast in severe road conditions can result in loss of

control and cause death or serious injury.

Decrease your speed as road, weather and lighting conditions

deteriorate.

ALWAYS check for local trailer-tow speed limits in your area.

LS600 PUMP — TRAILER SAFETY GUIDELINES

CAUTION - Local Towing Regulations

Check with your county or state safety towing regulations department before towing your trailer.

Driving Conditions

When towing a trailer, you will have decreased acceleration, increased stopping distance, and increased turning radius (which means you must make wider turns to keep from hitting curbs, vehicles, and anything else that is on the inside corner). In addition, you will need a longer distance to pass, due to slower acceleration and increased length.

■

Be alert for slippery conditions. You are more likely to

Proper selection and condition of the coupler and hitch are essential to safely towing your trailer. A loss of coupling may result in death or serious injury.

• Be sure the hitch load rating is equal to or greater than the load rating of the coupler

• Be sure the hitch size matches the coupler size

• Observe the hitch for wear, corrosion and cracks

before coupling. Replace worn, corroded or cracked hitch components before coupling the trailer to the tow vehicle

Be sure the hitch components are tight before coupling the trailer to the tow vehicle.

be affected by slippery road surfaces when driving a tow vehicle with a trailer, than driving a tow vehicle without a trailer.

■

Check rearview mirrors frequently to observe the trailer and traffic.

■

NEVER drive faster than what is safe.

WARNING - Transporting Personnel

DO NOT transport people on the trailer. The transport of people

puts their lives at risk and may be illegal.

Coupling to the Tow Vehicle

Follow all of the safety precautions and instructions in this manual to ensure safety of persons, equipment, and

An improperly coupled trailer can result in death or serious injury.

DO NOT move the trailer until:

• The coupler is secured and locked to hitch

• The safety chains are secured to the tow vehicle

• The trailer jack(s) are fully retracted

• Tires and wheels are checked

• The trailer brakes are checked

• The breakaway switch is connected to the tow vehicle

• The load is secured to the trailer

• The trailer lights are connected and checked

satisfactory life of the trailer. Always use an adequate tow vehicle and hitch. If the vehicle or hitch is not properly selected and matched to the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of your trailer, you can cause an accident that could lead to death or serious injury.

If you already have a tow vehicle, know your vehicle tow rating and make certain the trailer’s rated capacity is less than or equal to the tow vehicle’s rated towing capacity. If you already have (or plan to buy) a trailer, make certain that the tow rating of the tow vehicle is equal to or greater than that of the trailer.

Use of a hitch with a load rating less than the load rating of the trailer can result in loss of control and may lead to death or serious injury.

Use of a tow vehicle with a towing capacity less than the load rating of the trailer can result in loss of control, and may lead to death or serious injury.

Be sure your hitch and tow vehicle are rated for the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of your trailer.

Reporting Safety Defects

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect that could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying us.

If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or us.

To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 366-0123 in the Washington D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, DC 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.

Inoperable Brakes, Lights or Mirrors

Be sure that the brakes and all of the lights on your trailer are functioning properly before towing your trailer. Check the trailer taillights by turning on your tow vehicle headlights. Check the trailer brake lights by having someone step on the tow vehicle brake pedal while you look at trailer lights. Do the same thing to check the turn signal lights. (See Trailer Wiring Diagram section in this manual.)

Trailer Towing Tips

Driving a vehicle with a trailer in tow is vastly different from driving the same vehicle without a trailer in tow. Acceleration, maneuverability and braking are all diminished with a trailer in tow.

It takes longer to get up to speed, you need more room to turn and pass, and more distance to stop when towing a trailer. You will need to spend time adjusting to the different feel and maneuverability of the tow vehicle with a loaded trailer.

Because of the significant differences in all aspects of maneuverability when towing a trailer, the hazards and risks of injury are also much greater than when driving without a trailer. You are responsible for keeping your vehicle and trailer in control, and for all the damage that is caused if you lose control of your vehicle and trailer.

As you did when learning to drive an automobile, find an open area with little or no traffic for your first practice trailering. Of course, before you start towing the trailer, you must follow all of the instructions for inspection, testing, loading and coupling. Also, before you start towing, adjust the mirrors so you can see the trailer as well as the area to the rear of it.

Drive slowly at first, 5 mph or so, and turn the wheel to get Standard mirrors usually do not provide adequate visibility for viewing traffic to the sides and rear a towed trailer. You must provide mirrors that allow you to safely observe approaching traffic.

WARNING - Checking Taillights/Brakelights

Improper electrical connection between the tow vehicle and the trailer will result in inoperable lights and electric brakes, and can lead to collision.

Before each tow:

•

Check that the taillights, brake lights and turn signals work.

•

Check that the electric brakes work by operating the brake controller inside the tow vehicle.

the feel of how the tow vehicle and trailer combination

responds. Next, make some right and left hand turns. Watch

in your side mirrors to see how the trailer follows the tow

vehicle. Turning with a trailer attached requires more room.

Stop the rig a few times from speeds no greater than

10 mph. If your trailer is equipped with brakes, try using

different combinations of trailer/electric brake and tow

vehicle brake. Note the effect that the trailer brakes have

when they are the only brakes used. When properly

adjusted, the trailer brakes will come on just before the tow

vehicle brakes.

It will take practice to learn how to back up a tow vehicle

with a trailer attached. Take it slow. Before backing up, get

out of the tow vehicle and look behind the trailer to make

sure that there are no obstacles.

MAYCO LS600 PUMP — OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #4 (9/15/11) — PAGE 49

LS600 PUMP — TRAILER SAFETY GUIDELINES

Some drivers place their hands at the bottom of the steering wheel, and while the tow vehicle is in reverse, “think” of the hands as being on the top of the wheel. When the hands move to the right (counterclockwise, as you would do to turn the tow vehicle to the left when moving forward), the rear of the trailer moves to the right. Conversely, rotating the steering wheel clockwise with your hands at the bottom of the wheel will move the rear of the trailer to the left while backing up.

If you are towing a bumper hitch rig, be careful not to allow the trailer to turn too much because it will hit the rear of the tow vehicle. To straighten the rig, either pull forward or turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction.

Trailer VIN Tag

Figure 50 below is a sample of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Tag which is typically located on the left front of the trailer. See Figure 51.

VIN: The Vehicle Identification Number.

EMPTY WEIGHT: Some information that comes with the

trailer (such as the Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin) is not a reliable source for “empty” or “net” weight. The shipping documents list average or standard weights and your trailer may be equipped with options.

To determine the “empty” or “net” weight of your trailer, weigh it on an axle scale. To find the weight of the trailer using an axle scale, you must know the axle weights of your tow vehicle without the trailer coupled. Some of the trailer weight will be transferred from the trailer to the tow vehicle axles, and an axle scale weighs all axles, including the tow vehicle axles.

Cold.

Figure 50. Vehicle VIN Tag

The trailer VIN Tag contains the following critical safety information for the use of your trailer.

GAWR: The maximum gross weight that an axle can support. It is the lowest of axle, wheel, or tire rating. Usually, the tire or wheel rating is lower than the axle rating, and determines GAWR.

GVWR: The maximum allowable gross weight of the trailer and its contents. The gross weight of the trailer includes the weight of the trailer and all of the items within it (such as the pump, and other items). GVWR is sometimes referred to as GTWR (Gross Trailer Weight Rating), or MGTW (Maximum Gross Trailer Weight). GVWR, GTWR and MGTW are all the same rating.

The sum total of the GAWR for all trailer axles may be less than the GVWR for the trailer, because some of the trailer load is to be carried by the tow vehicle, rather than by the trailer axle(s). The total weight of the cargo and trailer must not exceed the GVWR, and the load on an axle must not exceed its GAWR.

LS600 PUMP — TRAILER SAFETY GUIDELINES

Tow Vehicle

The towing hitch attached to your tow vehicle must have a capacity equal to or greater than the load rating of the trailer you intend to tow. The hitch capacity must also be matched to the tow vehicle capacity. Your vehicle dealer can provide and install the proper hitch on your tow vehicle.

Safety Chains

If the coupler connection comes loose, the safety chains

can keep the trailer attached to the tow vehicle. With

properly rigged safety chains, it is possible to keep the

tongue of the trailer from digging into the road pavement,

even if the coupler-to-hitch connection comes apart.

Suspension System

Sway bars, shock absorbers, heavy duty springs, heavy duty tires and other suspension components may be required to sufficiently tow the trailer and pump.

Brake Controller

For trailers equipped with electric brakes, the electric brake controller is part of the tow vehicle and is essential in the operation of the electric brakes on the trailer. The brake controller is not the same as the safety breakaway brake system that may be equipped on the trailer.

Side View Mirrors

The size of the trailer that is being towed and your state law regulations determine the size of the mirrors. However, some states prohibit extended mirrors on a tow vehicle, except while a trailer is actually being towed. In this

connector will also supply power to the brakes from the

tow vehicle.

Breakaway System

breakaway cable must be rigged to the tow vehicle with

appropriate slack that will activate the system if the coupler

connection comes loose. situation, detachable extended mirrors are necessary.

Check with your dealer or the appropriate state agency for mirror requirements.

Heavy Duty Flasher

Jackstand

A device on the trailer that is used to raise and lower the

coupler. The jack is sometimes called the “landing gear” or

the “tongue jack”. A Heavy Duty Flasher is an electrical component that may

be required when your trailer turn signal lights are attached to the tow vehicle flasher circuit.

Electrical Connector

An Electrical Connector connects the light and brake systems on the trailer to the light and brake controls on the towing vehicle.

Emergency Flares and Emergency Triangle Reflectors

It is wise to carry these warning devices even if you are not towing a trailer. It is particularly important to have these when towing a trailer because the hazard flashers of your towing vehicle will not operate for as long a period of time when the battery is running both the trailer lights and tow vehicle lights.

An improperly coupled trailer can result in death or serious injury.

DO NOT move the trailer until:

• The coupler is secured and locked to hitch;

• The safety chains are secured to the tow vehicle

• The trailer jack(s) are fully retracted.

DO NOT tow the trailer on the road until:

• Tires and wheels are checked;

• The trailer brakes are checked;

• The breakaway switch is connected to the tow vehicle;

• The load is secured to the trailer

• The trailer lights are connected and checked.

WARNING

MAYCO LS600 PUMP — OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #4 (9/15/11) — PAGE 51

LS600 PUMP — TRAILER SAFETY GUIDELINES

Coupler Types

The trailer is shipped from the factory with a 2-inch ball coupler.

Ball Hitch Coupler

A ball hitch coupler (Figure 52) connects to a ball that is located on or under the rear bumper of tow vehicle. This system of coupling a trailer to a tow vehicle is sometimes referred to as “bumper pull.”

A ball hitch trailer may be fitted with a tongue jack that can raise and lower the coupler. The tongue jack is mounted to the A-frame (front, or tongue) part of the trailer. By rotating the jack handle clockwise, the jack will extend and raise the tongue of the trailer.

The load rating of the coupler and the necessary ball size are listed on the trailer tongue. You must provide a hitch and ball for your tow vehicle where the load rating of the hitch and ball is equal to or greater than that of your trailer.

Also, the ball size must be the same as the coupler size. If the hitch ball is too small, too large, is underrated, is loose or is worn, the trailer can come loose from the tow vehicle and may cause death or serious injury.

THE TOW VEHICLE, HITCH AND BALL MUST HAVE A RATED TOWING CAPACITY EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN THE TRAILER (GVWR). IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE HITCH BALL BE OF THE SAME SIZE AS THE COUPLER.

The ball size and load rating (capacity) are marked on the ball; hitch capacity is marked on the hitch.

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

When replacing a ball, the load rating must match or exceed the GVWR of the trailer.

Figure 52. Ball Hitch Coupler

Adjustable Tongue

Before each tow, coat the ball with a thin layer of automotive bearing grease to reduce wear and ensure proper operation. Check the locking device that secures the coupler to the ball for proper operation.

If you see or feel evidence of wear, such as flat spots, deformations, pitting or corrosion, on the ball or coupler, immediately have your dealer inspect them to determine the proper action to prevent possible failure of the ball and coupler system. All bent or broken coupler parts must be replaced before towing the trailer.

The coupler handle lever must be able to rotate freely and automatically snap into the latched position. Oil the pivot points, sliding surfaces, and spring ends with SAE 30W



Be sure the coupler is secured tightly to the tongue of the trailer. All coupler fasteners must be visibly solid against the trailer frame.



The bottom surface of the coupler must be above the top of the hitch ball. Use the tongue jackstand to support the trailer tongue. Wood or concrete blocks may also be used.

Coupling the Trailer to the Tow Vehicle (Ball Coupler)



Lubricate the hitch ball and the inside of the coupler with a thin layer of automotive bearing grease.

Figure 53. Ball Hitch Coupling Mechanism



Lower the trailer (Figure 53) until the coupler fully engages the hitch ball.



Engage the coupler locking mechanism. In the engaged position, the locking mechanism securely holds the coupler to the hitch ball.



Insert a pin or lock through the hole in the locking mechanism.



Be sure the coupler is all the way on the hitch ball and the locking mechanism is engaged. A properly engaged locking mechanism will allow the coupler to raise the rear of the tow vehicle. Using the trailer jackstand, verify that you can raise the rear of the tow vehicle by 1-inch after the coupler is locked to the hitch.



Lower the trailer so that its entire tongue weight is held by the hitch.



Raise the jackstand to a height where it will not interfere with the road.



Slowly back up the tow vehicle so that the hitch ball is near or aligned under the coupler.



Using the jackstand at the front of trailer (tongue), turn the jackstand crank handle to raise the trailer. If the ball coupler does not line up with the hitch ball, adjust the position of the tow vehicle.



Open the coupler locking mechanism. Ball couplers have a locking mechanism with an internal moving piece and an outside handle. In the open position, the coupler is able to drop fully onto the hitch ball.

MAYCO LS600 PUMP — OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #4 (9/15/11) — PAGE 53

Overloading can damage the tongue jack. DO NOT use the tongue jack to raise the tow vehicle more than 1 inch.

If the coupler cannot be secured to the hitch ball, do

not tow the trailer. Call your dealer for assistance. Lower

the trailer so that its entire tongue weight is held by the

hitch and continue retracting the jack to its fully retracted

position.

Improper electrical connection between the tow vehicle and the trailer will result in inoperable lights and electric brakes, and can lead to collision.

Before each tow:

 Check that the taillights, brake lights and turn signals

work

 Check that the electric brakes work by operating the

brake controller inside the tow vehicle.

for diagnosis. Uneven tread wear can be caused by tire imbalance, axle

misalignment or incorrect inflation.

Tires with too little tread will not provide adequate tracking on wet roadways and can result in loss of control, leading to death or serious injury.

Improper tire pressure causes an unstable trailer and can result in a tire blowout and loss of control. Therefore, before each tow you must also check the tire pressure. Tire pressure must be checked when tires are cold.

Allow 3 hours cool-down after driving as much as 1 mile at 40 m.p.h. before checking tire pressure. NOTE: Trailer tires will be inflated to higher pressures than passenger vehicle

Uncoupling the Ball Hitch

Follow these steps to uncouple ball hitch from tow vehicle:



Block trailer tires to prevent the trailer from rolling, before jacking the trailer up.



Disconnect the electrical connector.



Disconnect the breakaway brake switch cable. Promptly replace the pullpin in the switchbox.

prone to loosen. Before each tow, check to make sure they are tight.

The proper tightness (torque) for lug nuts is listed in the lug nut tightening section of this manual. Use a torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts. If you do not have a torque wrench, use a lug wrench (from your tow vehicle) and tighten the nuts as much as you can. Then have a service garage or trailer dealer tighten the lug nuts to the proper torque.



Rotate the jackstand handle (or crank) clockwise. This will slowly extend the jack and transfer the weight of the trailer tongue to the jack.

MAYCO LS600 PUMP — OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #4 (9/15/11) — PAGE 55

WARNING - Lug Nut Tightening

Metal creep between the wheel rim and lug nuts will cause rim to loosen and could result in a wheel coming off, leading to death or serious injury.

Tighten lug nuts before each tow.

LS600 PUMP — TRAILER SAFETY GUIDELINES

Lug nuts are also prone to loosen after first being assembled. When driving a new trailer (or after wheels have been remounted), check to make sure they are tight after the first 10, 25 and 50 miles of driving and before each tow thereafter.

Failure to perform this check can result in a wheel parting from the trailer and a crash, leading to death or serious injury.

Determining Load Limit of Trailer

Determining the load limits of a trailer includes more than understanding the load limits of the tires alone. On all trailers there is a Federal certification/VIN label that is located on the forward half of the left (road) side of the unit. This certification/VIN label will indicate the trailer’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). This is the most weight the fully loaded trailer can weigh. It will also provide the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). This is the most a the axle can weigh.

WARNING - Lug Nut Loosening

There is a vehicle placard (Figure 56) located in the same

Lug nuts are prone to loosen after initial installation, which can lead to death or serious injury.

Check lug nuts for tightness on a new trailer or when wheel(s) have been remounted after the first 10, 25 and 50 miles of driving.

location as the certification label described above. This placard provides tire and loading information. In addition, this placard will show a statement regarding maximum cargo capacity.

WARNING - Improper Lug Nut Torque

Improper lug nut torque can cause a wheel parting from the trailer, leading to death or serious injury.

Be sure lug nuts are tight before each tow.

INFORMATION

WARNING - Tire Pressure

Improper tire pressure can result in a blowout and loss of control, which can lead to death or serious injury.

Be sure tires are inflated to pressure indicated on side wall before towing trailer.

Figure 56. Tire and Loading Information

Placard

If additional work items (hoses, tools, clamps etc.) are going to be added to the trailer, be sure they are distributed evenly to prevent overloading front to back and side to side. Heavy items should be placed low and as close to the axle positions as reasonable. Too many items on one side may overload a tire.

Excessive loads and/or underinflation cause tire overloading and, as a result, abnormal tire flexing occurs. This situation can generate an excessive amount of heat within the tire. Excessive heat may lead to tire failure. It is the air pressure that enables a tire to support the load, so proper inflation is critical. The proper air pressure may be found on the certification/VIN label and/or on the Tire and Loading Information placard. This value should never exceed the maximum cold inflation pressure stamped on the tire.

PAGE 56 — MAYCO LS600 PUMP — OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #4 (9/15/11)

LS600 PUMP — TRAILER SAFETY GUIDELINES

Step 1.

Locate the statement, “The weight of cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.,” on your vehicle’s Tire and Loading Information placard (Figure 56). This figure equals the available amount of equipment load capacity.

Step 2.

Determine the weight of the equipment being loaded on the tow vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available equipment load capacity. The trailer’s Tire Information Placard is attached adjacent to or near the trailer’s VIN (Certification) label at the left front of the trailer.

Determining Load Limit of Tow Vehicle

Step 1.

Locate the statement, “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX lbs.,” on your vehicle’s placard.

Step 2.

Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers who will be riding in your vehicle.

Step 3.

Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kilograms or XXX pounds.

Step 4.

The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage capacity is 650 lbs. (1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.).

Studies of tire safety show that maintaining proper tire pressure, observing tire and vehicle load limits (not carrying more weight in your vehicle than your tires or vehicle can safely handle), avoiding road hazards and inspecting tires for cuts, slashes and other irregularities are the most important things you can do to avoid tire failure, such as tread separation or blowout and flat tires. These actions, along with other care and maintenance activities, can also:



Improve vehicle handling



Help protect you and others from avoidable breakdowns and accidents.



Improve fuel economy



Increase the tire life

Use the information contained in this section to make tire safety a regular part of your vehicle maintenance routine. Recognize that the time you spend is minimal compared with the inconvenience and safety consequences of a flat tire or other tire failure.

Tire Fundamentals

Federal law requires tire manufacturers to place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires (Figure

57). This information identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire and also provides a tire identification number for safety standard certification and in case of a recall.

Step 5.

Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage capacity calculated in Step 4.

If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult the tow vehicle’s manual to determine how this weight transfer reduces the available cargo and luggage capacity of your vehicle.

Figure 57. Standard Tire Sidewall Information

MAYCO LS600 PUMP — OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #4 (9/15/11) — PAGE 57

LS600 PUMP — TRAILER SAFETY GUIDELINES

P: The “P” indicates the tire is for passenger vehicles. Next number: This three-digit number gives the width in

millimeters of the tire from sidewall edge to sidewall edge. In general, the larger the number, the wider the tire.

U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number: This begins with the letters “DOT” and indicates that the tire meets all federal standards. The next two numbers or letters are the plant code where it was manufactured, and the last four numbers represent the week and year the tire was built. For example,

Next number: This two-digit number, known as the aspect ratio, gives the tire’s ratio of height to width. Numbers of 70 or lower indicate a short sidewall for improved steering response and better overall handling on dry pavement.

P: The “R” stands for radial. Radial ply construction of tires has been the industry standard for the past 20 years.

Next number: This two-digit number is the wheel or rim diameter in inches. If you change your wheel size, you will have to purchase new tires to match the new wheel diameter.

Next number: This two- or three-digit number is the tire’s load index. It is a measurement of how much weight each tire can support. You may find this information in your owner’s manual. If not, contact a local tire dealer. Note: You may not find this information on all tires because it is not required by law.

M+S: The “M+S” or “M/S” indicates that the tire has some mud and snow capability. Most radial tires have these markings; hence, they have some mud and snow capability.

Speed Rating: The speed rating denotes the speed at which a tire is designed to be driven for extended periods of time. The ratings range from 99 miles per hour (mph) to 186 mph. These ratings are listed in Table 7. Note: You may not find this information on all tires because it is not required by law.

the numbers 3197 means the 31st week of 1997. The other numbers are marketing codes used at the manufacturer’s discretion. This information is used to contact consumers if a tire defect requires a recall.

Tire Ply Composition and Materials Used: The number of plies indicates the number of layers of rubber-coated fabric in the tire. In general, the greater the number of plies, the more weight a tire can support. Tire manufacturers also must indicate the materials in the tire, which include steel, nylon, polyester, and others.

Maximum Load Rating: This number indicates the maximum load in kilograms and pounds that can be carried by the tire.

Maximum Permissible Inflation Pressure: This number is the greatest amount of air pressure that should ever be put in the tire under normal driving conditions.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading Standards (UTQGS) Treadwear Number: This number indicates the tire’s

wear rate. The higher the treadwear number is, the longer it should take for the tread to wear down. For example, a tire graded 400 should last twice as long as a tire graded 200.

Traction Letter: This letter indicates a tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement. A higher graded tire should allow you to stop your car on wet roads in a shorter distance than a tire with a lower grade. Traction is graded from highest to lowest as “AA”,”A”, “B”, and “C”.

Temperature Letter: This letter indicates a tire’s resistance to heat. The temperature grade is for a tire that is inflated properly and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat build-up and possible tire failure. From highest to lowest, a tire’s resistance to heat is graded as “A”, “B”, or “C”.



ALWAYS check tire pressure on tow vehicle and trailer before towing. Check tire pressure at least once a month.



DO NOT overload tow vehicle. Check the tire information and loading placard for safe allowable tire loading conditions.

Tire Repair

The proper repair of a punctured tire requires a plug for the hole and a patch for the area inside the tire that surrounds the puncture hole. Punctures through the tread can be repaired if they are not too large, but punctures to the sidewall from the rim to be properly inspected before being plugged

To check wheel bearings, jack trailer and check wheels for side-to-side looseness. If the wheels are loose, or spin with a wobble, the bearings must be serviced or replaced. Check inflation pressure weekly during use to insure the maximum tire life and tread wear. Most trailer axles are built with sealed bearings that are not serviceable. Sealed bearings must be replaced as complete units.

NEVER! use an pneumatic air gun to tighten wheel lug nuts.

APPENDIX — 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.

5. Fill cone to overflowing 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 68-A) and rod

6. Remove the excess concrete

25 times with a 1/2” dia x 24” lg. bullet-pointed steel rod. (This is a specific requirement which will produce nonstandard results unless followed exactly.) Distribute rodding evenly over the entire cross section of the sample.

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.

APPENDIX — RECOMMENDED SHOTCRETE ACCESSORIES

RECOMMENDED SHOTCRETE ACCESSORIES

Figure 71. Shotcrete System Accessories

Use a 1-3/8" rubber nozzle tip for a wide spray pattern. Use a 1-1/4" rubber nozzle tip for a narrow spray 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.
