ST-45HRM CE CONCRETE 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 Model ST-45 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

(pages 25-29).
MAYCO ST-45HRM CE PUMP — OPERATION & PARTS MANUAL — REV. #0 (02/23/04) — PAGE 17
ST-45HRM CE CONCRETE 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
Model ST-45 be will working in. Therefore, the mixes on pages
64-65 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.
In addition, the Mayco Concrete ST-45HRM CE Pump can be
used to pump a large aggregate hard rock as follows:
1.Pea rock 12.7mm (1/2" minus) pump with mixes being as
low as 30% rock and 70% sand. (See page 50, 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:
227 Kg (500 lbs.) of cement/cu yd for 17.2 mPa (2500 p.s.i.)
concrete after 28 days.
240 kg (530 lbs.) of cement/cu yd for 20.7 mPa (3000 p.s.i.)
concrete after 28 days.
272 kg (600 lbs.) of cement/cu yd for 27.6 mPa (4000 p.s.i.)
concrete after 28 days.
4.Admixture pump-aid if necessary.
5.The proper amount of water to make a workable slump and
plasticize the mix.

ST-45HRM CE CONCRETE 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 1
Figure 6. 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 5).
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 6), 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.

ST-45HRM CE CONCRETE PUMP— OPERATING PROCEDURES
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 11-4 -15.1 liters (3 to 4 gallons) of water be sprayed into
the hopper, followed by approximately 18.9 liters (5 gallons)
of a creamy cement and water slurry (1/2 bag of cement to
18.9 liters / 5 gallons of water). This procedure lubricates the
hose and prevents separation and blockages in the hose.
Getting the concrete to flow through
NOTE
CAUTION
Inspect the lines at all times to prevent the above conditions
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:

cycle can be one of the most critical
operations of the pour. (

be wise 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.
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 redimix 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.
mend on harsh mixes, vertical pushes, stiff concrete,
shotcrete, long pushes, that a 6.35 cm (2 -1/2”) line be
used as far as possible. The advantages of using the
6.35 cm (2 -1/2”) line are improved pumpability, less
pumping pressure and less wear on the pump.
A.Leave the hopper full of concrete at the time of
shutdown. It is important not to let the
wash too much water into the hopper, as this could
cause separation of the concrete in the hopper.
B.If the

Common sense tells us that if you drive a
truck into a brick wall, something is going to
be damaged. The same holds true with your
concrete pump. If you repeatedly pull the
throttle all the way out and try to force your
pump to push through
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.

WARNING
It will be necessary at times to move your

concrete and decrease the cement content per yard.
This is one of the most common admixtures used.
All admixtures will be shown on the
redi-mix 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.
The effects of heat and excessive time on concrete:
7.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:
8.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.
Admixtures:
9.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.
10. 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.
11. Leaking manifold seals or hose coupling gaskets which leak
water can cause separation and subsequent jamming at that
point.
Priming the Pump and Delivery System with Slurry
12. It is CRITICAL to the successful operation of a concrete
pump that the manifold and all delivery hose, pipe 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.

area.
16. The shuttle tube is plugged if volume at the discharge end of
the hose stops, the hose is soft and the hydraulic oil pressure
gauge reads 20.7 mPa (3000) psi or more.
To clear a plug in the shuttle tube, great care must be taken
as a dangerous condition will exist from pressure build-up
inside the shuttle tube. (With the shuttle valve, the concrete
can be pumped in reverse.) Use the following prodedures
to clear the shuttle tubes.
WARNING
E.Pour approximately two 18.9 liter (5 gallon) buckets of
prime into the first hose and connect it to the pump.
F.With the pump in FORWARD at 25-30 strokes per
minute, slowly discharge the concrete from the readymix truck into the hopper and completely fill it. Keep the
pump running continuously until concrete is discharging
at the end of the delivery system. If the pump is stopped
during this procedure, a blockage may occur.
G.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 18.9 liters (5 gallons)
of water per 7.62 meters (25 ft.) length, before adding it to
the system.
Clearing Concrete Blockage
13. Damaged hoses with internal restrictions can cause blockages.
14. If a blockage occurs in a hose,
the point of trouble. The hose will be soft immediately past the
blockage. If this happens at the start, disconnect the hose at
the first coupling past the blockage.
15. Elevate the hose at that point with the blockage area hanging
down. Using a hammer, you can pound the down-stream
edge of the packed area until it is free to flow. Shake all of the
sand and gravel out to the end of the hose. Before reconnecting the hose, start the pump and run a small amount of
concrete out to the end of the hose. This will assure that all
of the separation is out of the hose.

17. If it is necessary to wait 1/2 hour or more for another load
of concrete, and to prevent setting of the mix in the system,
it is advisable to consider the following factors
A through D
(
A.How old is the concrete?
) affecting the concrete :
18. Down-Hill Pumping – can be difficult on some jobs. The
slurry procedure would be the same as explained on the
pages titled Operating Suggestions. It is suggested that a
sponge 5 cm x 10 cm x 15 cm (2”x 4”x 6”) be placed in the
hose before the start of pumping. Wet the sponge before
placing it in the hose.
The reason for using the wet sponge is to keep the slurry from
running too far ahead of the concrete and so reducing the
possibility of separation. When the pump is stopped, the
material can flow slowly down, due to gravity, and cause the
hose to collapse.
E through H
E.Disconnect the hose from the pump and wash the pump
out immediately.
F. Reconnect the hose and fill the hopper with water.
G. 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 61 meters (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.
H.If waiting time is excessive, it would be wise to wash out
the pump and hoses and start over when the new truck
arrives. This can be avoided by being observant to the
pump and system, also taking into consideration the
above factors (E through H) affecting the mix.
) is suggested:
B.Is there an accelerator, calcium chloride, red label, etc.,
in the concrete?
C.Temperature of the day, 27° C (80° F), 32° C (90° F)?
D.How much system you have out and how stiff was the mix
you were pumping?
NOTE
When disconnecting hoses, use
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.
EXTREME CAUTION! The hose is
pressure!

MAYCO ST-45HRM CE PUMP — OPERATION & PARTS MANUAL — REV. #0 (02/23/04) — PAGE 27
ST-45HRM CE CONCRETE PUMP— OPERATING PROCEDURES
19. Vertical Pumping – When pumping vertically up the side of
a building, above 12.2 meters (40 feet), we would recommend the installation of
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 7.62 meter (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 30 meters
(100 feet) high. Line pressures are always less using steel
pipe as compared to hose.
When pumping vertically, using
not to go higher than 7.62 meters (50 feet) with hose. The hose
should be tied off at intervals of 3 meters (10 feet), if possible.
Special attention should be given when tieing the hose off at
the top as the hose will have a tendency to stretch when filled
with concrete. This will increase the possibility of a blockage
at the point where the hose is tied off. To avoid this, a long
radius of 90 degree elbow is recommended. The suggested
place to tie off is on the hose, under the clamp.
NOTE
steel pipe
It is strongly recommended that
steel pipe be used on all vertical
securely fastened at
all hose
, it is recommended
pumping for safety and convenience.
20. 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 63.5 mm (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.
21. Snap-Joint – When using Snap-Joint couplings with gaskets to join hose, see that they are washed clean after each
job. Keeping the hose ends clean (heavy duty) is very important for the best job setup. A thin coat of grease on the rubber
gasket or dipping both coupling and gasket in water before
coupling the hose will make for easier installation.
22. 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
51 mm (2-inch) pipe cap with a 9.5 mm (3/8") drilled hole in the
center, screwed on to the end of hinged cone or reducer at the
pump.
Fill hopper with water after making sure that all sand and rock
have been removed from manifold. Operate pump at full
throttle and the 9.5 mm (3/8") diameter hole restriction will
create sufficient back pressure to make thorough inspection
of all moving parts.

ST-45HRM CE CONCRETE PUMP— TRAILER SAFETY GUIDELINES
Tires/Wheels/Lug Nuts
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.
NOTE
ALWAYS
removing or installing force fitted
wear safety glasses when
parts. Failure to comply may result in
serious injury.
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 36. DO NOT
torque the wheel lug nuts all the way down. Tighten each lug
nut in 3 separate passes as defined by Tables 6 and 9.

ST-45HRM CE CONCRETE PUMP— TOWING INFORMATION
1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
In order to maintain the function and safety of your trailer, only
.
original parts of the manufacturers design must be used. Servicing
should only be undertaken by qualified personnel.
1.1TOWING LEVEL
Ideally, the trailer should be towed level (Figure 37) and not with
the draw bar leaning up or down excessively. Some countries
allow ± 4° from the level (approximately ±100mm) but in others
it remains at the discretion of the user for safe operating conditions
1.3TYRES AND WHEELS
Within the EC, tyres must be marked with a load index (LI) and
speed symbol, which designate the maximum carrying capacity
per tyre at the maximum speed. See Tables 7 and 8.
For trailer use, car tyres may be given a bonus loading of 5%
and commercial van tyres 10% due to the reduced speed limits
that apply to trailers (in the UK 97 kmh/60 mph). However, we
would generally recommend working within the load index
designation to allow for the possibility of operation over the
normal speed limitations.
Figure 37. Towing Level
1.2CAPACITIES
For safety, warranty and legal reasons, DO NOT exceed the
maximum allowable fully laden mass.
The maximum tyre pressure marked on the tyre is usually
compatible with the load index and speed symbol. If in doubt,
check with the manufacturer or with us
On a trailer’s drawbar assembly, there may be 3 ore more labels/
stampings stating the maximum masses and other parameters.
It is important to be aware that the label or stamping stating the
lowest maximum gross mass overrules all others; generally the
label affixed to the body of the trailer by the trailer or plant
manufacturer states the actual maximum, as this will allow for
wheel and tyre capacities.

ST-45HRM CE CONCRETE PUMP— TOWING INFORMATION
1.4CONNECTION TO TOWING VEHICLE
First, check the compatibility of your 50mm Ball Coupling or
Towing Eye with the Towing Jaw/Ball connection on your vehicle.
Always fit the breakaway cable or safety chain in a loop, fastening
back on itself, to a substantial integral point on the towing vehicle.
Ensure that the effective length is as short as possible, but still
allows articulation (e.g. for cornering) without applying the brakes
or tension through the chains.
WARNING
We DO NOT recommend the use of safety
chains and a breakaway cable (Figures 38
and 39) at the same time.
Figure 38. Breakaway Cable
2.0 ROUTINE CHECKS
2.1VISUAL INSPECTION
Regular visual inspections will usually identify accidental
damage if conducted systematically.
2.2TYRE DAMAGE
It is dangerous to neglect tyre damage, and should a blister,
rupture or cut to be detected, exposing the casing, or the tyre
suffers a violent impact (e.g. against a curb) such that there is a
risk of internal damage, it is advisable to have the tyre examined
by ah specialist as soon as possible.
2.3WHEEL DAMAGE
Wheels damaged or distorted, or having wheel nut/bolt sea tings
cracked or deformed must not be repaired or used in service.
Warning: If the wheel is damaged, it is possible that the brake
drum, stub axle or complete axle may have been damaged, so
investigate further.
2.4TOWING EYE, BALL HITCH & DRAWBAR
ATTACHMENT
Gripping the towing eye or ball in both hands, pull back and
forth, up and down, feeling for excessive movement. Replace
any parts that are bent or deformed in anyway. Check the
attachment of the coupling body to the drawbar and of the drawbar
to the trailer/machine.
LEGAL
NOTE
2.5HAND BRAKE
Apply hand brake checking operation and effectiveness. If in
doubt re-adjust braking system (see section 3.2)
Figure 39. Safety Chains
It is legal to use safety chains up
to a maximum gross trailer mass
of 1500 kg.

3.0 BRAKING SYSTEM
3.1WHEEL JACKING
On level ground, with the hand brake lever in the off position and
overrun coupling draw tube shaft fully extended forwards, secure
one wheel with wheel chocks. Position your jacking device behind
the opposite wheel, as near to a main longitudinal chassis
member as possible. Lift the wheel clear of the ground and secure
with suitable axle stands.
3.2BRAKING SYSTEM ADJUSTMENT
Where the transmission rod and brake cables are already
connected, take the tension out of the system by winding back
the nuts on the rod behind the compensator.
It is now possible to begin the setup procedure:
3.3WHEEL BRAKES
These can be adjusted by means of a 17mm, 19mm, or 24mm
AF Spanner (dependant on brake type) on the adjuster bolt head
at the rear of the brake back plate. Reference Figures 40A, B
and C.
NOTE
If not already connected, connect the
Bowden (sheathed) cables to the
brakes.
Figure 40B. Connecting Sheated Cable
Adjuster Bolt
Figure 40A. Adjuster Bolt
Rotate each wheel only in the forward direction of travel, whilst
tightening the bolt until the wheel locks. Then, gradually back off
the adjuster nut until the wheel can rotate forwards with just a
slight resistance/audible brushing of the brake drum on the brake
linings (this is best adjusted with the wheel and tyre fitted to the
brake drum).

ST-45HRM CE CONCRETE PUMP — BRAKING SYSTEM
3.4 COUPLING AND TRANSMISSION SYSTEM
Attach the opposite end of the outer cable to the anchor plate
(Figure 41E) on the axle or draw bar, using the nut provided.
Connect the inner cables to the compensator, locking the 2 plain
nuts together in front of the compensator for each cable. If not
already connected, attach the rear end of the brake rod to the
compensator center hole.
COUPLINGS WITH HANDBRAKE MOUNTED ON COUPLING
BODY (FIGURES 41A-41E)
Use the plain nuts behind the compensator to adjust, until the
overrun output lever can be pulled rearwards by firm hand
pressure (not loose) a maximum of 14mm (16mm for adjustable
height models.) For knott couplings, there should not be any
movement
Maintain the compensator at 90° to the draw bar for even
distribution of force into each cable. Ensure the cables are not
“kinked” or damaged.

ST-45HRM CE CONCRETE PUMP— BRAKING SYSTEM
With the handbrake fully off, check that the spring store’s overall
length is 185 to 190 mm and is not applying a force to the U
shaped guide on the side of the overrun lever. Adjusting is by the
nut at the front of the assembly. This procedure should only be
necessary when replacement parts have been fitted.
COUPLINGS WITH HANDBRAKE MOUNTED ON DRAW BAR
(FIGURES 41F-41J)
The setup for the higher capacity couplings is similar to the above,
with the exception of the setting of the handbrake spring store,
which is more powerful due to the higher transmission force
requirements for heavier trailers.
Use the plain nuts behind the compensator to adjust, until the
overrun output lever can be pulled rearwards by firm hand
pressure to a maximum of 18mm (8mm for adjustable height
models).
Maintain the compensator at 90° to the drawbar for even
distribution of force into each cable. Ensure the cables are not
“kinked” or damaged.
With these models, the brake transmission linkage runs through
the spring store, which must be set correctly to achieve automatic
operation tensioning of the system.
Leave the handbrake and spring store connector loose while
setting the overrun system as previously described. Finally, pull
the spring store up to the hexagonal adaptor by sliding the spring
and bracket forward. Tighten the three locking nuts on the
connector.

3.5BRAKE PARTS
Brake shoes (Figure 42) are recommended to be replaced when
the lining thickness measures less than 2mm, as it is likely that
they will be worn out before the next service.
Always replace both brake shoes together, regardless of the
lining thickness on the other shoe. It is further advised that brake
shoes should be ideally replaces as an axle set to avoid uneven
braking from side to side.
KNOTT COUPLINGS
Please follow the adjustment instructions in section 3.5, but do
not allow for the rearward movement of the overrun output lever,
which is only required on Meredith & Eyre couplings. All knott
couplings (Figures 43A and 43B) operate in the same manner,
so the type of housing, cast A-frame, pressed steel A-frame, or
pressed steel square-tube, is irrelevant to the brake servicing.

If any clearance or free movement appears to emanate from the
suspension, check the axle housing for damage.
WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLIES WITH TAPER ROLLER
BEARINGS
In order to re-set, remove the grease cap, split pin and set the
slotted nut. See Figure 45.
It is generally accepted that a finger tight slotted nut, will result in
a correct setting and running clearance for normal bearing life.
Always replace the split pin with a new one when setting is
complete and re-fit the grease cap.
REMOVAL OF HUB/BRAKE DRUM ASSEMBLY
Remove the wheel, grease cap, split pin, slotted nut, and washer
and pull the drum off the stub axle. To avoid contamination, take
care not to drop the outer bearing cone onto the floor.
5.4WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLIES WITH UNIT BEARINGS
These hubs require no maintenance, however at intervals of
38,624 km (24,000 miles) or 12 months, the wheel hubs should
be checked for side play and the complete hub replaced if
necessary.
WARNING
It is as important not to OVERPACK the hub
with grease, as it is to allow bearings to run
dry.
When refitting the hub, always fit a new nut
and tighten to a torque of 280Nm (206lbf.ft.)

Nipples
Bellows
Figure 46. Meredith & Eyre Coupling with Bellows
and Shaft Nipples
The hydraulic damper (Figure 47) is sealed and maintenance
free but its operation should be checked if braking problems
occur. If the damper is to be removed, enclose it in a strong cloth
and do not stand directly in line as the damper contains oil and
gas under high pressure.
NOTE
Meredith & Eyre Couplings do not require for the towing ball
head or eye to be removed or loosened when replacing a damper
Knott Couplings have the damper attached to the rear bolt of the
towing head. These dampers in these couplings require a larger
amount of pre-compression when being fitted, so remove the
cast L. shaped bracket, which attaches the damper to the rear of
the couplings body and reassembly, this onto the new damper
before assembly onto the coupling body.
7.0STUB AXLE / BRAKE BACK PLATE
A number of Meredith & Eyre axles feature a removable stub
axle, as shown in Figure 48. This design is unique to Meredith &
Eyre and illustrated our desire to keep replacement costs as low
as possible.
The large slotted nut on the back of the arm is torqued to 230Nm
(170 lbf.ft). Removing this nut will allow the stub axle to be
removed. When refitting, if the split pin cannot be fitted after
torque setting the slotted nut, tighten the nut further until the next
available hole is accessible
Meredith & Eyre Couplings do not require for
the towing ball head or eye to be removed or
loosened when replacing
To remove, release the 2 bolts at either end. The damper will
need to be slightly pre-compressed to be fitted. This is normal,
and ensures that the braking system works efficiently and that
the trailer is towed on the drawtube, not on the damper as this
would lead to premature failure.

thecable holder.
All other brakedrum components are accessed from the front via

HYDRAULIC OIL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
1.When changing the hydraulic oil or topping off the reservoir,
use only the following type. (Reservoir capacity is 220 liters/
58 gal.)
Hydraulic oil:Shell Oil Tellius 68, Mobil DFE 26, Texaco Rand
This Mayco.Multiquip 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.
WARNING
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
10°C (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 10°C (50°F). Cycle the machine at 6-8
strokes per minute at approximately 1/3 throttle.
In areas where the weather normally remains under 10°C
(50°F)., use Shell Oil Tellus – 46, or the equivalent. The above
steps must be followed or severe damage to the main axial piston
pump will be the end result.

The accumulator circuit has two functions in the hydraulic system.
■
The accumulator circuit furnishes the hydraulic pressure

■
The accumulator circuit also furnishes the pilot pressure
necessary to activate the hydraulic system.
The accumulator circuit is equipped with
a bladder type accumulator (Figure 54)

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
ALWAYS relieve the accumulator circuit to ZERO pressure prior
to performing any maintenance on the pump.
6.Remove the three 3/8 – 16 x 3” bolts (Lubrication Pistons
Assy, Item 20) from the piston. Remove the front faceplate
(Lubrication Pistons Assy, Item 19).
7.Install two the 3/8’ 16x3” bolts (Lubrication Pistons Assy,

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 (Hopper Assy., Item 34)
connected to the remix motor. Plug the ports with fittings(not
provided) to prevent hydraulic hose leakage.
2.Remove the hopper discharge nipple (Hopper Interior
Assembly, Item 21) and loosen sleeve seal. Inspect and
replace if wear is excessive.
3.Remove the two tie rod nuts (Hopper Attachment, Item 19)

the hopper seal (Hopper Assy, Item 2).
Wear Plate Installation
1.Install the two cylinder “O” rings (Hopper Interior Assy,
Item 10).
2.Using silicon sealant, coat the circumference of the concrete
cylinders, the back of the wear plate and around the five
bolt holes. Next, install the wear plate and the five bolts.
The bolts must all be equally snugged and tightened to (
136-N-m (100 ft. lbs) each.

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 60-A) and rod 25 times
with a 1.3 cm x 61 cm (1/2” diameter x 24” length) bulletpointed steel rod. (This is a specific requirement which will
produce non-standard results unless followed exactly.) Dis-

tribute rodding evenly over the entire cross section of the
sample.
4. Fill cone another 1/3 (Figure 60-B) which will make the cone
2/3 full by volume. Rod this second layer 25 times with the rod
penetrating into, but not through, the first layer. Distribute
rodding evenly over the entire cross section of the layer.
5. Fill cone to overflowing (Figure 60-C). Rod this layer 25
times with rod penetrating into but not through, the second
layer. Distribute rodding evenly over the entire cross section
of this layer.
6.Remove the excess concrete (Figure 60-D) from the top of the
cone, using the tamping rod as a screed.

7.Lift the cone vertically (Figure 60-E) with a slow even motion.
DO NOT jar the concrete or tilt the cone during this process.
( Invert the withdrawn cone, and place it next to, but not
touching the slumped concrete.

8.Lay a straight edge (Figure 60-F) across the top of the
slumped cone. Measure the amount of slump in inches from
the bottom of the straight edge to the top of the slumped
concrete at a point over the original center of the base . The
slump operation must be complete in a maxi

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.

MATERIAL HAS PASSED THROUGH THE ENTIRE HOSE LENGTH.
Disassemble and clean the nozzle assembly thoroughly after each job. Grease all threads before
re-assembly. DO NOT close the air valve when pumping is stopped as a continued air flow keeps
the air passages clean.
