LS-60TD 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 self-lubrication.
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 self-troweled 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 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 LS-60TD 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
Procedures
Operating
section of this manual.
MAYCO LS-60TD PUMP — OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #4 (09/15/11) — PAGE 17
LS-60TD PUMP — GENERAL INFORMATION
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:
1.The sizing and mix percentage of rocks, gap graded from
the largest down through the smallest sizes.
2.Sand with a sieve analysis that has the proper percentage
of fines, ASTM C33 spec.
3.Sufficient cement to produce the required design strength
of the concrete and provide the lubricating binder to pump
the concrete through the delivery system.
5.The proper amount of water to make a workable slump and
plasticize the mix.
In addition, this Mayco Structural Concrete Pump can be used to
pump a large aggregate hard rock as follows:
1.Pea rock (1/2" minus) pump with mixes being as low as 30%
rock and 70% sand. (See page 44, for comments on cleaning
the pump.)
2.Shortening pea rock when used with an air compressor
and nozzle. (See back pages for recommended set-up.)
3.“Mud Jacking”, high pressure grouting.
Use a minimum of:
500 lbs. of cement/cu yd for 2500 p.s.i. concrete after 28
days.
530 lbs. of cement/cu yd for 3000 p.s.i. concrete after 28
days.
600 lbs. of cement/cu yd for 4000 p.s.i. concrete after 28
days.
4.Admixture pump-aid if necessary.

LS-60TD 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 located in 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 5. 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 4).
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 5), 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 transfered 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 durration of the operation.

HOSE LUBRICATION
This procedure lubricates the hose and 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 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).
PRIMING THE PUMP WITH SLURRY MIXTURE
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.
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. (

the concrete and decrease the cement content per
yard. This is one of the most common admixtures
used.
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 pump with a
concrete can cause
the axle and axle springs, excess strain and pressure
on the hub and bearing assembly.
When pumping long distance or pumping stiff mixes, you can
expect a drop in volume compared to shorter lines and wetter
mixes due to the change in valve efficiency or cavitation.
Leaking manifold seals or hose coupling gaskets which leak water can cause separation
and subsequent jamming at that point.

LS-60TD PUMP — OPERATING PROCEDURES
DOWN-HILL PUMPING
Down-hill 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.
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 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.
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.
When pumping vertically, using
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.
section of this manual.
all hose
, it is recommended
steel pipe
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.
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.
It is strongly recommended that

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
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,
etc., in the concrete?
C.The temperature of the day, 80, 90, degrees?
D.How much system you have out and how stiff was
the mix you were pumping?
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
much water into the hopper, as this could cause separation of the concrete in the hopper.
redi-mix
immediately
A through D
driver wash too
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.
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.

LS-60TD PUMP — OPERATING PROCEDURES
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. DONOT 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.
CLEARING CONCRETE BLOCKAGE
WARNING - BLOCKAGES
If you repeatedly pull the throttle all the way out and
try to force your pump to push through
due to separation of 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. 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,

above actors (A through D) affecting the mix.
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 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.
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.

CLEANING THE PUMP AND DELIVERY SYSTEM
Cleaning the pump is a very important operation as it
determines how the machine will pump the next time it is
used.
At the end of every pour, or because of long delays during a
pour, the pump and delivery system must be thoroughly
cleaned by removing all concrete material.
1.Following the Clearing Concrete Blockage operating
the starter key. Place a “DO NOT OPERATE” tag
over the switch and disconnect the battery. The

5.Add water to the hopper. Pump and flush clean the entire
hopper, shuttle tube and discharge elbow with water.
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 the shuttle tube
inspection plate (follow the Shuttle Tube InspectionProcedure) and remove all remaining concrete.
9.When the pump has been used to pump large aggregate
concrete (¾" to 1 ½") follow the instructions in step 8
once per week.
WARNING - ACID CLEANING
HYDRAULIC OIL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
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.
1.When changing the hydraulic oil or topping off the
reservoir, use only the following type.
(Reservoir capacity - 50 gal.)
under 50°F
.,
NEVER use muriatic acid to clean the pump. Acid will
dissolve the chrome finish on material cylinder bore and
main hydraulic cylinder rods.
Use only a 2½" diameter clean-out hook when
back-pumping into redi-mix truck. Use a
safety chain to secure the clean-out hook to
some solid part of the mixer truck to prevent
hook from jumping off of the drum. Run the
pump at 6 strokes per minute maximum
speed.

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. See Figure 16 for troubleshooting tips.
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.

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.
WARNING - AMPUTATION RISK
To prevent accidental cylcling of any pump
components, ALWAYS relieve the accumulator circuit
to ZERO pressure prior
to performing any
maintenance on the
pump.

CHANGING THE WEAR PLATE AND RING
Due to the swinging motion of the Nun-plate and the abrasive
nature of concrete, it is normal for the cutting ring to wear on
the side that shears through the concrete inside the hopper.
If the wear ring and wear plate do not fully seat against each
other the concrete slurry will pump into the hopper. This
condition can be easily observed by the sudden change of
the level of concrete inside the hopper during each stroke.
Wear Plate and Ring Replacement Procedure
1.Remove the two hydraulic hoses connected to the remix
motor. Plug the ports with fittings(not provided) to
prevent hydraulic hose leakage.
2.Remove the hopper discharge nipple and loosen sleeve
seal. Inspect and replace if wear is excessive.

LUG NUT TORQUE REQUIREMENTS
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. See Figure 45. DO NOT
torque the wheel lug nuts all the way down. Tighten each
lug nut in 3 separate passes as defined by Table 7.

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.

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.
º
■
Use item #11 (steel elbow) at the edge of the pool to
prevent collapse of the rubber hose, which can cause
blockage.

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
