Safety Regulations
Putzmeister America cannot anticipate every possible circumstance
that might involve a potential hazard. The warnings in this manual are
therefore not all inclusive. If a procedure, tool, device, or work method
not specifically recommended by Putzmeister is used, you must satisfy
yourself that it is safe for you and others. You should also ensure that
the machine will not be damaged or made unsafe by the procedures
you choose.
Each truck-mounted concrete pump has undergone a thorough Quality
Control inspection at the factory. The design incorporates built-in
safety features, however it can be potentially dangerous in the hands of
untrained or careless operators.
Knowing the characteristics of the machine and function of the controls
is important for safe, proper operation, and use. Becoming familiar
with the controls and practices of concrete pumping will result in
efficient and smooth pumping.

Safety Regulations

2.1

Personnel
Qualifications

Only qualified personnel must be allowed to operate, repair, or


troubleshoot the truck-mounted concrete pump:
A qualified operator is one who has read and understood the
instructions in this manual and is thoroughly familiar with the
operating characteristics and limitations of the machine.
Qualified operators must:
-- Read and have a thorough understanding of all precautions
mentioned in the Safety Booklet for Concrete Pump
Operators (BP1742GB--3).
-- Know and follow all decals and operating instructions.
-- Understand and obey all applicable Local and Government
statutes and regulations applying to safe operation and use of
concrete pumping machines.
-- Report any damage, defects, problems, or accidents to their
supervisor immediately.
Repair and adjustments must only be made by qualified personnel.
All personnel assigned to repair or troubleshoot the truck-mounted
concrete pump must be thoroughly familiar with and understand the
job they are about to do. If in doubt, use extreme caution and obtain
assistance from other trained/qualified personnel. Problems may
arise that seem singular but may be due to several causes.

2.2

Safety Regulations

All personnel operating, assembling, transporting, or maintaining a


truck-mounted concrete pump should be aware of and comply with the
following safety regulations:
No modification is to be made to the machine without prior written
consent of the Putzmeister Technical Support or Engineering
Department.
While operating the unit, wear personal protective equipment (safety
goggles, hard hat etc.) required by Federal, State, local and job site
regulations.
Do not operate the unit unless it has been leveled and stabilized.
Do not operate a malfunctioning unit.
Keep decals and operating instructions legible and readable.
Make sure safety devices are in good operating condition.
Do not clean, oil, adjust, or service unit while it is operating.
Use extreme caution when handling delivery system. The
truck-mounted concrete pump is capable of delivering very high
pressures. Pressure can remain in the delivery system even after the
unit is shut down.

22

A820062_02_0208D

Safety Regulations

Never remove the hopper grate cover when the pump is in operation.

A820062_02_0208D

It protects against accidental contact with the remixer shaft and other
moving parts inside the hopper.
Never enter the hopper with any part of your body; it is a danger
area and physical injury can occur, even if the engine is stopped.
Do not stand on the hopper grate.
If work must be performed inside the hopper, ensure that engine is
OFF and accumulator pressure reads zero. The system uses a
hydraulic accumulator which contains a stored charge of high
pressure oil to shift the S-tube. On all machines, ensure that the
accumulator is depressurized.
Since hydraulic oil systems can be dangerous, know the circuit you
are repairing. It may contain high pressure and injury could occur. If
in doubt, stop the machine and allow sufficient time for the oil
pressure to decrease to zero. Check pressure gauges to confirm that
they read zero.
Do not open the concrete delivery system without relieving the
pressure. Normally, pressure can be relieved by reversing the pump
and pumping backwards. However, in the event of a rock jam,
reversing the pump may not relieve the pressure under all
conditions.
When hydraulic cylinders are used to hold loads, do not loosen
fittings without mechanically supporting the load. Loosening of
fittings may result in high pressure fluid leaks and movement of the
cylinder.
Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or hot. Avoid the
possibility of spilled fuel, which may cause a fire.
If a fuel spill occurs, do not restart the engine until all spilled fuel
has been cleaned up.
Do not pour material into hopper without grate in place. Operator
must monitor material being dumped in hopper, watching for
unmixed or dry concrete, sticks, pieces of metal and other foreign
objects.
If machine is to be left unattended on a job site, secure it from
unauthorized use or movement.
Clear area before activating outriggers.
Ensure that a proper level is maintained in the hydraulic oil tank.
Oil level below minimum can cause hydraulic pump and system
damage.

Safety regulations

2.3

Use contrary to the


designated use

2.3.1

Lifting loads

Use other than that above or going beyond such use, such as lifting loads, for
instance, is considered contrary to the designated use. Putzmeister Werk
accepts no liability for damage resulting from such use. The risk of such
misuse lies entirely with the user.

22000600

The placing boom must never be used for lifting loads.

High--pressure delivery over 1232 psi (85 bar) concrete pressure through the
placing boom delivery line is prohibited. The delivery line and end hose are
only suitable for pressures up to 1232 psi (85 bar) in their new condition.

24

BPUS03_004_0010EN

Safety regulations

2.3.2

Extending the
end hose

Extension of the placing boom and end hose beyond the length specified on
the boom rating plate is forbidden.

42500101

Extending the end hose is not permitted.

2.3.3

End hose with spout

End hoses may not be fitted with any extension coupling, spout, swan
neck, outlet shoes or other dangerous outlet fitting or similar device.

12502000

No coupling, spout, swan neck or similar on the end of the end hose

BPUS03_004_0010EN

25

Safety regulations

2.3.4

Extending the reach

It is prohibited to attach an extension (eg freely suspended crossbeam) to the


end hose or boom tip in order to extend the reach or to pump round the
corner, so to speak. Since the boom and the lifting equipment for the
extension have differing pivotal points and modes of control, it is not
possible to coordinate their movements.
Impermissible extensions always place a load on the boom and result in
irreparable damage, as forces which the boom is not designed to withstand
are conducted into it. At worst, the boom may break or the machine could
topple over.
If, for reasons related to the site layout, pumping must be carried out over
greater reaches or in inaccessible places, it must be performed in accordance
with the Operating Instructions and a separate delivery line must be laid.

Safety regulations

2.3.5

Standing on the
placing boom

BPUS03_004_0010EN 2

It is forbidden to stand on the placing boom

Danger
A fall from a working height of 3.3 ft (1 m) above the ground presents a
lethal danger.
It is therefore forbidden to stand on the placing boom, to climb up it, or to
use it as a working platform or as an aid to climbing.
Always use specially designed or otherwise safety--oriented ladders and
working platforms when working at height greater than 3.3 ft (1 m) above
the ground. You must wear a safety harness when working at greater heights.

BPUS03_004_0010EN

27

Safety regulations

2.3.6

Exclusion of liability

We state here expressly that Putzmeister accepts no liability for damage


arising from incorrect or negligent operation, servicing or maintenance or as
a result of use contrary to the designated use. This statement is equally valid
for modifications to, additions to and customization of the machine which
may compromise safety. The guarantee will no longer be valid in such cases.
Please consult us should you wish to deliver higher density media. It may be
the case that suitable measures, such as reducing the reach, are necessary.

Description of
the Functions

This section is intended to help you understand the functions of the


machine so that you can restrict the field of the machines applications
to suitable areas and avoid errors in operation.

3.6.1

Boom

The boom arms are of box construction. They are actuated


hydraulically. Arm hinges with excellent angular range, in
combination with the powerful slewing gear with its wide slewing
range, provide very flexible movement.

3.6.2

Delivery Line

The delivery and riser lines comprise standard straight pipe sections
and elbows. These are thus easily replaced. Clamp couplings serve as
both pivot joints and pipe connectors. The elbow pivot at the end of the
boom acts as a brake on the falling concrete and reduces the wear on the
end hose.

3.6.3

Outriggers

The telescopic-style front outriggers and swing-out rear outriggers,


which provide the required stability, are fitted with fully hydraulic
support cylinders.

3.6.4

Hydraulic Control

All boom movements are effected hydraulically. All boom cylinders


have two integral safety valves to provide protection against
overloading or rupture of the hydraulic lines. The hydraulic fluid
supply is sufficient to operate a number of cylinders simultaneously.
The hydraulic control can be operated from the concrete pump or by
using a portable remote control unit.
The control valves are actuated:
-- electrically; or
-- electro--hydraulically.
The hydraulic fluid tank is integrated in the boom pedestal.
Compressed air and control current are taken from the truck.

36

A820062_03_0208D

General Technical Description

3.6.5

Concrete Pump

PM concrete pumps are driven hydraulically by diesel engine powered


fluid pumps. The delivery pistons (4) are hydraulically linked together
through the driving cylinders (5). They operate in a push--pull mode.
The returning delivery piston sucks the concrete in. At the same time,
the advancing delivery piston forces the concrete sucked in previously
into the delivery line through the pressure pipe or the pressure elbow
(1). The pump switches over at the end of the stroke. The transfer tube
(2) swings over to the full delivery cylinder (3) and the delivery pistons
(4) reverse their direction of movement.
Reverse stroke
Reversal of the delivery pistons (4) movement in the middle of the
stroke movement. The transfer tube (2) does not switch. The concrete
is sucked back from the delivery line into the hopper.
Switchover
Reversal of the delivery pistons (4) direction in the middle of the
stroke movement. The transfer tube (2) switches over. The concrete is
still pumped without interruption. Switching over helps prevent the
formation of blockages.

Special Features of the Control Cabinet


Locally latched
toggle switches

To use a toggle switch that has been latched locally, you must first pull
it out and then push it towards the symbol.

Locking

The control cabinet may be found in a stowage compartment. You must


always lock this stowage compartment to prevent any unauthorized
person switching the control system over.

Switchover from local to


remote control

The EMERGENCY SHUT--DOWN circuit is activated automatically


when you switch over from local to remote control. You must operate
the horn to deactivate the EMERGENCY SHUT--DOWN circuit.

Coolant overheating

The Coolant overheating indicator lamp is connected to the vehicles


warning system. In the event of an engine fault, the machine is
switched to EMERGENCY SHUT--DOWN and the engine is shut
down. Once you have eliminated the fault, you must press the Coolant
overheating Off toggle switch before you can restart the engine. You
can override the shut--down by holding down the Coolant overheating
Off toggle switch in order to operate the machine for a short time (eg
to pump out the hopper and delivery line).

Pumping operation -- Service operation

Use the Pumping operation -- Service operation toggle switch to


switch over between the concrete pump and the compressor. You can
switch on the compressor, rather than the pump, at the remote control if
you set the switch to Compressor.
Note
As soon as the compressor is switched on, the agitator control block is
no longer supplied with hydraulic fluid, ie the agitator and the water
pump will not run.

General Technical Description

Hydraulic fluid temperature display in the multiple display

The hydraulic fluid temperature is measured at the main hydraulic


pump. The left--hand green LED flashes if the hydraulic fluid temperature is below approximately 65 _C at this point.
The left--hand LED of the two red LEDs lights up if the hydraulic fluid
temperature exceeds 90 _C. The red Hydraulic fluid overheating display lights up at the same time. The two red LEDs flash alternately if
the hydraulic fluid temperature exceeds approximately 95 _C.

Operating hours display in


the multiple display

The operating hours meter is activated when the pump is switched on.
The flashing egg--timer symbol in the display indicates that the meter is
active.

Status displays in the multiple display

These displays indicate the machines statuses. The two red displays
indicate the following:
-- EMERGENCY SHUT--DOWN activated symbol lights up:
EMERGENCY SHUT--DOWN activated
-- Hydraulic fluid overheating symbol lights up: The hydraulic fluid
is too hot. The red LEDs in the temperature display light up or flash
depending on the temperature.
-- Hydraulic fluid overheating symbol flashing: The temperature
sensor on the main hydraulic pump is defective or there is a break in
the cable. The two red LEDs in the temperature display flash alternately and the hydraulic fluid radiator fan begins to run at the same
time (one fan runs where there are two hydraulic fluid radiators).
Caution
In the event of a fault or a line break to the temperature sensor on the
main hydraulic pump, the switch--off temperature (90 _C) for the hydraulic fluid is no longer monitored. This means that the machine will
not be switched off should the hydraulic fluid overheat.
Switch the machine off and replace the temperature sensor if the Hydraulic fluid overheating display flashes.

General Technical Description

Programming

Various settings are programmed into the centralized lubrication system in the works. These settings regulate the lubrication intervals and
the lubrication time. Have the default settings modified by the After
Sales Department if either the lubrication intervals or the lubrication
times do not meet your needs. The following settings are stored:

Interval time

The interval time is the time between two lubrication procedures.


The interval time only runs down when the ignition is switched on. The
interval times are retained during interruptions. The new times are
added on restarting.

Working time

The working time is the time for which the centralized lubrication
pump operates for one lubrication procedure. The working time is the
period during which a response must be received from the piston detectors.

Monitoring time

The monitoring time starts when the centralized lubrication pump


is switched on. The monitoring time is the time taken for the piston
detector to respond.

SHUT--DOWN buttons on your machine before operating the unit.

30505901

EMERGENCY SHUT--DOWN button

Note
You need only press one of the EMERGENCY SHUT--DOWN buttons to
trigger an EMERGENCY SHUT--DOWN of the machine.
To release the EMERGENCY SHUT--DOWN condition again, you must
unlock the EMERGENCY SHUT--DOWN button that has been pressed
by turning it and sound the horn.
You must switch the pump off and back on again to restart the pump.
All EMERGENCY SHUT-DOWN buttons must be released for machine
operation.

334

A820062_03_0208D

General Technical Description

The following actions are triggered in the truck, pump and boom systems when you press one of the
EMERGENCY SHUT--DOWN buttons:
System

Action

Truck

-- Engine speed drops to idle.


-- It is no longer possible to set the engine speed electrically.
-- The EMERGENCY SHUT--DOWN operated indicator lamp lights on the control
cabinet.
-- Variable main pumps go to neutral, the delivery pistons come to a halt, and the Pump
On light flashes.
-- The change--over valve is de-energized.

Pump

Danger
The accumulator pump continues to generate hydraulic flow, which is directed back to
tank instead of operating the function (i.e., the accumulator ceases to be filled).
Boom

-- The boom control unit is disconnected.


-- If the E-stop on the radio transmitter was pressed, the supply voltage to the radio
transmitter is switched off and the power indicator lamp on the radio transmitter goes
out. If an E-stop on the truck was pressed, the power indicator lamp on the radio
transmitter flashes.
-- On the cable remote control system, the supply voltage is switched off with the
exception of that for the horn, the Fault indicator lamp on the cable remote control
unit lights, the Pump on light flashes.
-- The boom pump transports hydraulic fluid in depressurized circulation
(maximum 15 bar) through the boom control unit inlet module to the tank. Emergency
operation of the boom functions is ensured by simultaneous manual operation of the
operating mode selector valve and the corresponding boom arm valve.
Danger
The machine is only switched off electrically when the EMERGENCY
SHUT--DOWN button is pressed. Although this causes all the
electrically actuated hydraulic valves to be switched off, an
uncontrolled sinking of the boom caused by leakages in the hydraulic
system, for instance, cannot be prevented in this way.

Hopper Grate Cutout


Device

The hopper grate cutout device consists of a switching cam and a


pressure roller switch. The switching cam is fastened to the hinge pin
of the hopper grate, the pressure roller switch to the hopper. The
pressure roller switch is acted on as soon as you open the hopper grate.
This causes the agitator to halt and the pressure to be dumped from the
accumulator (i.e. the transfer tube will no longer be able to switch
over). In addition, the delivery pistons return to the end position and
the concrete pump halts. You must switch the concrete pump off and
back on again to re--start it.

Note
As the two valves on the agitator control block are supplied by a single
hydraulic pump, it may be the case that the volume of hydraulic fluid is
not adequate to supply the functions of both valves with sufficient
hydraulic fluid at the same time. It can therefore be the case that the

Note
As the two valves on the agitator control block are supplied by a single
hydraulic pump, it may be the case that the volume of hydraulic fluid is
not adequate to supply the functions of both valves with sufficient
hydraulic fluid at the same time. It can therefore be the case that the
agitator does not operate when the water pump is switched on, or that
the water pump does not operate when the agitator is switched on.

Accumulator Dump
Valve, Accumulator
Dump Cock, Transfer
Tube Damping Cock

This machine is fitted with an electrical agitator safety cutout. The


accumulator pressure is dumped through an accumulator dump valve
and the transfer tube halts, among other measures, as soon as the grill
on the hopper is opened. The accumulator dump valve is located on the
left of the hydraulic block, seen in the direction of travel.
The machine is fitted with an additional accumulator dump cock. The
accumulator pressure is also dumped when the accumulator dump cock
is opened. The transfer tube will still switch over while the machine is
running, although at a lower pressure and very slowly. This will allow
you to halt the transfer tube in the center position by switching off the
machine at the appropriate moment. You can then check the wear ring
using a mirror, for example.
The transfer tube damping cock is incorporated in the hydraulic fluid
supply line to the accumulator.
Danger
The transfer tube will continue to switch over when the accumulator
dump cock has been opened and the machine is running. There is still a
danger of crushing and severing of limbs.
Never reach into the hopper from below through the wash--out port nor
from above through the grill while the machine is running. Never poke
anything into the hopper.

Manual Volume
Control

On this machine, the output is adjusted by means of a proportional


valve. This proportional valve is integrated in the Free--Flow
Hydraulics control block. The handwheel required for emergency
operation is located on the forward end of the Free--Flow Hydraulics
control block on the right viewed in the direction of travel.

No 0

Designation
Emergency operation handwheel

Note
The proportional valve must be fully open during normal operation,
i.e. the emergency operation handwheel must be turned fully
counterclockwise (opened).
A fixed value of 75% is set on the proportional valve when you switch
over from remote control to local control on the control cabinet, and
the output can only be controlled by the engine speed. This means
that an output of 75% of the maximum output is possible at maximum
engine speed.
In emergency operation you are able to set the output desired on the
proportional valve using the handwheel. The further you turn the handwheel clockwise, i.e. the further you close the proportional valve, the
greater the output will be.

3.10.3 Vibrator

The vibrator is bolted to the grill. It causes the grill to vibrate and thus
prevents bridges forming on the grill, particularly in the case of very
stiff concrete. The vibrator is electrically driven and its connector must
be plugged into the appropriate round socket on the side of the electric
control cabinet. The vibrator is switched on and off either at the
electric control cabinet or on the control panel by the steps.

3.10.4 Hydraulic Fluid


Radiator

The machine is fitted with two hydraulic fluid radiators. Each radiator
has its own fan. Some of the hydraulic fluid in the machine first flows
through these radiators before returning to the reservoir. The fans on
these radiators switch on once the hydraulic fluid reaches a temperature
of 131 _F (55 _C) at the main hydraulic pump.

General Technical Description

Note
You may switch on both fans at any time using the toggle switch on the
control cabinet, whatever the fluid temperature, should you wish to
cool the hydraulic fluid as a precautionary measure before it has
reached 131 _F (55 _C). The green indicator lamp on the control
cabinet will light up as soon as a temperature of 131 _F (55 _C) is
reached, or if you have switched on the fans.
Leave the truck engine running during breaks in pumping or when
pumping is completed until the fan motors switch themselves off.
The hydraulic fluid is also cooled by the water in the water box. The
hydraulic fluid warms up the piston rods for the drive cylinders. These
are flushed, and thus cooled, by the water in the water box on each
stroke movement. This also cools the hydraulic fluid. The water in the
waterbox should be flushed and refilled daily.

Preliminary
Information

Before attempting to place material with the truck-mounted concrete


pump, operators must be thoroughly trained in its operation. Before
using the truck-mounted concrete pump, complete the following steps:
Perform routine truck maintenance as outlined in your truck owners
manual.
Completely inspect the truck-mounted concrete pump for worn or
damaged parts, loose bolts, missing parts, etc.
Perform periodic maintenance on the truck-mounted concrete pump,
as outlined in the Maintenance section of this manual.
Warning
Read and comply with all safety rules, notes, and warnings contained
in this manual. This is absolutely essential to the safe, efficient
operation of the truck-mounted concrete pump.

Note
Prior to starting up the machine, you should become so familiar with
the machine that damage and accidents cannot occur. Every time you
use the machine, you accept full responsibility for the safety of anyone
located in the machines danger zone. You are therefore under an
obligation to ensure that the machine is completely safe in operation.

52

A820062_05_0208D

Operation

5.2

Function Checks

You should check the following functions before you begin using the
machine on the construction site

5.2.1

Pump Functions

The basic precondition for problem--free operation of the machine is a


properly functioning pump.

Switchover

Check for the proper switchover function of the delivery pistons and
the transfer tube at various speeds of the drive motor and settings of the
flow regulator.

Proximity Switch

20500405

Check the Proximity Switch

Check whether the drive cylinders are switching over automatically as


soon as the pistons of drive cylinder I (on the right in the direction of
travel) approach the two forward or rear proximity switches. The
associated indicator lamp on the distributor casing should light up
briefly. If one of the indicator lamps does not light up, the associated
proximity switch is defective.
Stroke Length

Press the switchover button on the remote control at a slow delivery


piston speed and hold it down.
The delivery pistons should move to their end positions. Stroke
correction is automatic and is complete when both delivery pistons
come to a halt (may be seen in the water box).

Stroke Time

Fully close manual volume control valve (by rotating


counterclockwise) to have pump operate at maximum speed. Measure
the stroke time over ten individual strokes. The value determined,
divided by 10, must comply with the ratings on the Pump test reading
sheet following the machine card in the Technical Data section.

A820062_05_0208D

53

Operation

5.2.2

Filter Functions

Dirty filters reduce the fluid flow considerably so that damage may
occur in the hydraulic system.

Vacuum Filter

10300200

Vacuum Meter -- The filter element must be replaced if the vacuum meter indicator
is in the red zone at more than 85F (30C) fluid temperature and the fastest
stroke time.

Boom Filter

Pressing Down the Red Button on the Boom Filter

1. Warm the hydraulic fluid up to normal operating temperature (>


120F (50C)).
2. Set the maximum pumping rate.
3. Press in the red button on the boom filter if it is sticking out.
Note
You must replace the boom filter element if the red button pops out
again after a short time.
The boom filter is OK if the red button remains depressed.
Environmental protection
Comply with the waste disposal regulations in force for your area when
changing the fluid filters.

54

A820062_05_0208D

Operation

5.2.3

EMERGENCY
SHUT- DOWN
Function

It is only possible to intervene rapidly in the event of danger if all the


EMERGENCY SHUT--DOWN buttons are functioning.
Caution
The machine is no longer safe in operation if the EMERGENCY
SHUT--DOWN button is defective, as you will no longer be able to
switch the machine off quickly enough if danger threatens.
You must therefore inspect the function of the EMERGENCY
SHUT--DOWN buttons and the lever position for the boom valves (see
Function check on the boom control unit) before starting work each
time.

Danger
The machine is only switched off electrically when the EMERGENCY
SHUT--DOWN button is pressed. Although this causes all the
electrically actuated hydraulic valves to be switched off, an
uncontrolled sinking of the boom caused by leakages in the hydraulic
system, for instance, cannot be prevented in this way.
Furthermore, the EMERGENCY SHUT--DOWN circuit has no
influence on the agitator pump (i.e., the agitator continues to rotate,
despite the EMERGENCY SHUT--DOWN button having been pressed
in).

the Boom Control
Unit

You may only operate the machine if the boom control unit is fully
functional.
1. Switch on the radio or cable control.
2. Operate the boom control levers briefly several times while
observing the levers on the boom control unit. The lever for the
boom valve operated and the lever for the operating mode selector
valve must move each time.
Note
As soon as you release the boom control levers on the remote control
unit, the levers for the boom arm valves previously actuated and for the
operating mode selector valve must return to the central position (zero
position).
The reactions of the operating mode selector valve on the boom control
unit are delayed by approximately 0.8 seconds if you use the cable
control or radio.

5.3

Setup

5.3.1

Pre-Operation
Inspection

Prior to operating the truck-mounted concrete pump, perform a


pre-operation inspection by checking the following items:
Note
Performing a pre-operation inspection prevents downtime and helps
maintain the truck-mounted concrete pump in proper working
condition between scheduled maintenance checks.
Warning
Defective components, structural damage, missing parts or equipment
malfunctions, jeopardize the safety of the operator and other personnel
and can cause extensive damage to the machine. A poorly maintained
machine could become the greatest operational hazard you may
encounter. It should be a common practice that the operator perform a
thorough walk-around inspection before each days operation of the
concrete pump.
Note
All water, oil, and fuel levels should be checked and topped off as
necessary. The machine must be level when you check the functional
fluids. The boom and the supports must be retracted. The water box on
concrete pumps must be full during operation, even if there is a risk of
freezing.
Danger
Oils, fuel and other functional fluids may be injurious to health on
contact with the skin, etc.
You must, therefore, always wear personal protective clothing and
equipment when you are handling toxic, caustic or other functional
fluids that are injurious to health and always take note of the
manufacturers information.
Danger
If any discrepancy is noted during the pre-inspection, attach a sign at
the control panel stating DO NOT OPERATE and repair the
discrepancy before operating the truck-mounted concrete pump.

5.3.2

Preliminary Setup

Prior to setting up the truck-mounted concrete pump, perform the


following steps:
Note
As a rule, the site management determines the setup site for the
machine and prepares the site accordingly. However, the machine
operator is responsible for setting up the machine safely. The machine
should only be set up on level ground. Inspect the proposed site
carefully and reject the setup site if you have any doubts about the
safety of the site.
1. Walk the approach route before you drive it. Ask for someone to
give you directions if you have to drive the truck in reverse.
2. Maintain a safe distance from pits, slopes, trenches, etc., when
approaching the setup site and when setting up. Check the
condition of the soil or flooring where the machine will be
positioned. As shown in the diagram below, the force transferred
into the ground by each outrigger is distributed through the ground
in a conical pattern at a 45 angle. This imaginary cone must not
exit through the wall of the pit. Ensure that you maintain a safe
distance from any pits (i.e., at least a), as mentioned below:
A. If the ground has a good loadbearing capacity, maintain a
minimum clearance of a from a pit even if the pit is shallow.
The minimum clearance a from a pit for machines
up to 26,000 lbs permissible gross weight, is 3.3 feet (1 m);
over 26,000 lbs permissible gross weight, is 6.6 feet (2 m)

Minimum Clearance a From a Pit

B. If the ground does not have a good loadbearing capacity,


maintain an additional safety clearance A from a pit. As
shown in the diagram below, the additional safety clearance
A from a pit:
for loose, backfilled ground is equal to twice the pit depth
(i.e., A 2 pit depth T),
for compact, solid ground is equal to the pit depth
(i.e., A 1 pit depth T).

Additional Safety Clearance A From a Pit

Calculation Example 1

Permissable gross weight of machine = 45,000 lbs


(Therefore the minimum distance from the pit a = 6.6 feet)
Type of ground = loose, backfilled; depth of pit (T) = 3 feet
(Therefore the additional safety clearance from the pit A = 2 x 3 ft = 6 ft)
Required distance from pit (i.e., greater of a (6.6 ft) and A (6 ft)) = 6.6 ft

Calculation Example 2

Permissable gross weight of machine = 23,000 lbs


(Therefore the minimum distance from the pit a = 3.3 feet)
Type of ground = compact, solid; depth of pit = 2 feet
(Therefore the additional safety clearance from the pit A = 1 x 2 ft = 2 ft)
Required distance from pit (i.e., greater of a (3.3 ft) and A (2 ft)) = 3.3 ft

No Voids or Other Ground Irregularities Under The Outrigger Feet

Caution
Do not bridge voids or other ground irregularities with support blocks
or timber blocks, since these blocks may break if a point load is applied
to them. If these blocks break, the machine will not have the necessary
stability and may tip over.
5. As shown in the diagram below, ensure that the outrigger feet are
set up on level supporting ground:

6. Verify that the machine is supported in accordance with the corner


bearing loads and the loadbearing capacity of the supporting ground
(permissible ground pressure), by performing the following steps:
A. Ask site management for the maximum permissible ground
pressure (i.e., loadbearing capacity of the supporting ground).
B. Determine whether the outrigger support area is adequate by
calculating the maximum possible ground pressure that each
outrigger leg can exert using the following equation:

Max possible ground pressure =

C. If the maximum possible ground pressure is greater than the
maximum permissible ground pressure, then it is necessary to
increase the support area under the outrigger feet with
Putzmeister support blocks or timber blocks (refer to timber
block length table on page 5-16).

A820062_05_0208D

Operation

9. With truck engine running, transmission in neutral, and parking


brake on, engage concrete pump power take-off (PTO), by
performing the following steps:
Note
If your truck engine is equipped with electronic diesel control (EDC)
you must apply the parking brake before you switch on the power take-off. Otherwise you will not be able to increase engine speed during
pumping operations. This is also the case if you release the parking
brake and apply it again while the power take--off is switched on.
Caution
The following points must be complied with to prevent damage when
using power take-off gearboxes:
The transmission must be in neutral when the power take-off
gearbox is switched on or off.
If the engine was shut down during pumping operations and your
truck has a manual transmission, you must depress the clutch before
starting it up again.
A. Position concrete pump PTO switch (located on right side of
drivers seat) to PUMP position (PTO engaged).
B. Verify that green PUMP light illuminates.
C. If your vehicle has a manual transmission, perform these steps:
Push in clutch pedal (clutch disengaged).
Place truck transmission in proper pumping gear.
Let clutch pedal out (clutch engaged).
D. If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, shift selector
from N (Neutral) to D (Drive). The display indicates 4
signifying that truck transmission is in 4th gear lock-up (i.e.,
the truck transmission will remain in 4th gear). If engine is
switched off or transmission shifted to Neutral, repeat Step 9 to
reset interlocks for 4th gear lock-up PTO operation.
Note
The truck engine will automatically throttle up approximately 200 RPM
when the PTOs are engaged and the E--stops are cleared.

Operation

5.3.3

Remote Control
Setup

Depending on your machines equipment, you are able to operate it


-- using radio remote control,
-- using cable remote control, or
-- directly from the machine in emergency operation.
Danger
Before starting to use the remote control, press the EMERGENCY
SHUT--DOWN button on the remote control and shift all control and
monitoring devices on the remote control to the 0 position. The
boom or the pump can otherwise execute unintended movements as
soon as the remote control is switched on.
Caution
Carry the remote control in such a way that no control elements can be
actuated unintentionally. Do not damage the remote control cable. Incorrect functions may otherwise occur.
Never put the remote control down when the machine is in ready mode.
If this cannot be avoided in exceptional circumstances, press the
EMERGENCY SHUT--DOWN button in, disconnect the remote control
and lock the remote control unit away in the drivers cab.
10. If using a cable remote control system, perform the following steps:
Note
You can only execute boom movements in black and white with the
cable remote control (i.e., the boom always moves at its maximum
speed, no matter how much you move the boom control lever).

Danger
Black/white control can lead to jerky movements and significant
swaying of the boom, which represents a high risk of an accident to the
operator guiding the hose. Flip the toggle switch boom speed to the
snail symbol and the rotary controller to 0 before beginning to use
the cable remote control. This ensures that the first boom movements
after the remote control is switched on will be executed slowly and you
will be able to get used to them.

520

A820062_05_0208D

Operation

A. Verify that remote cable is connected between the electric


control box and cable remote control box.
Note
On some control cabinets, the socket into which the cable remote
control is plugged is located on the control cabinet casing. On some
control cabinets the socket is fixed to the truck superstructure and
connected to the control cabinet by a cable.

11. If using a proportional radio remote control system, perform the


following steps:
Note
Proportional control means:
The boom moves slowly on a small movement of the boom control
lever.
The boom moves at its maximum speed on a large movement of the
boom control lever.
A. Verify that radio receiver is connected to electric control box.
B. Verify that Local-Remote switch on electric control box is in
Remote position.
C. Ensure transmitter has charged battery inserted.
D. Release E-stop button, by twisting button to allow it to pop out.
E. Verify that all functions switches are off.
F. Turn transmitter power switch on.
G. Ensure electric control box and other E-stops are released.
Note
The horn/outrigger/reset switch is used to clear the E-stop mode.
Clear the E-stop mode by pushing the horn switch up once. The first
press clears the E-stop. The second and subsequent presses blow the
horn. If the horn will not blow, recheck cable connections, E-stop

Danger
You must have read the safety regulations and have completed the
operations for setting up the machine before you begin setting out the
machine outriggers. The machine outriggers may only be used under the
following conditions:
the pump drive engine is running;
the power take--off is engaged (i.e., the machine is set to pumping
operations);
the Outrigger function has been selected at the remote control or
on the control block.
It is absolutely forbidden to move the outriggers manually (mechanically).

12100101

Outrigger snaplock -- You must unlock the outrigger legs before you are able to
extend them or swing them out.

Note
Extendable support legs are automatically locked by the snaplock once
the support leg is fully extended.
Once the legs are locked, replace the spring pin. The snaplock cannot
now be opened unintentionally and the support leg remains locked in
the end position.
The snaplock has no function once swing--out support legs have been
swung out. Do not replace the spring pin; in this way the supports will
be locked automatically when they are swung back.
Before driving off, make sure that all the snaplocks are secured by a
spring pin.

Danger
Do not attempt to reposition any outrigger unless placing boom is in
stowed position. The placing boom will not operate when the
outriggers are activated.

15. Repeat Step 14 for the right outriggers.


Note
Extend the outriggers one after the other until the truck lifts about 5 cm
(2 inches) from the ground. The rear wheels may be in light contact
with the ground in order to achieve steady pumping.

A820062_05_0208D

525

Operation

Danger
All four outriggers must be completely swung out and extended to
stabilize the truck-mounted concrete pump placing boom through
swing, unfolding, extending, and elevate functions. Wrong positioning
or partial opening of outriggers can cause machine instability and risk
of overturning.
Danger
Uncontrolled movements of the outrigger legs increase the risk of an
accident. They are possible if:
the hydraulic system has not been carefully bled;
pipes or threaded unions are leaking;
there is too little hydraulic fluid in the reservoir;
the switch is defective or dirty.
In this case, the support legs may move as soon as the preselect switch
is actuated. Halt work immediately. You can continue working only
after the causes have been remedied and perfect functioning of the
machine is ensured.
Note
Before closing the outriggers, ensure that the boom is correctly closed
and resting on the support in its housing. To close the outriggers,
follow inversely the instructions for opening. When closing the
stabilizers, move to a safe position so as not to be hit by the outriggers.
16. After outriggers are positioned, on the radio or cable remote
control, return the horn/outrigger/reset switch to its center (off)
position to activate the boom controls.

526

A820062_05_0208D

Boom Movements

Before you extend the placing boom you must read the safety
regulations and complete the operations to set up the machine.
You may only extend the placing boom once you have set the machine up
properly. Comply with the safety regulations of the country in which you
are using the machine in every case.

Prohibited Activities

Prohibited Activities

Danger
Avoid the following actions. They overload the placing boom and will
lead to damage and jeopardize persons:
lifting and transporting loads;
allowing the placing boom to strike an obstacle;
pushing with the placing boom, in order to move an obstacle out of
the way, for instance;
tearing away a trapped end hose by force.

Overlapping Working
Ranges
Caution
Take note of the working ranges of other machinery that is working
near you (e.g., cranes, other concrete placing booms, etc.)

A820062_05_0208D

527

Operation

5.4.1

Restrictions on Use
Bad Weather and
Storms

Extreme weather conditions, such as gales, storms or low temperatures


restrict the use of the boom, or can even make its use impossible.
Shift the placing boom to the transport position in the event of storms
or bad weather.
-- Placing booms with a vertical reach of 42 m or more (M 42 and
larger) may not be operated in winds of force 7 or greater (wind
speed 31.1 miles/hr (50 km/hr) and higher).
-- Placing booms with a vertical reach less than 42 m (< M 42) may
not be operated in winds of wind force 8 or more (wind speed
38.5 miles/hr (62 km/hr) and greater).
Higher wind speeds jeopardize stability and the safety of structural
elements. There is a risk of lightning strike in the event of storms.
Tower cranes on construction sites generally have wind speed
measuring equipment, so that you can ask about the wind speed at any
time. If no wind speed measuring equipment is available, you can ask
the nearest meteorological office what the wind speed is, or estimate
the wind speed using the following rule of thumb:
In winds of force 7 and greater, green leaves break from trees and
there is a perceptible hindrance to walking in the open.
In winds of force 8 and greater, small branches break from trees and
walking outside is made significantly more difficult.

Cold Weather

528

The boom may not be used in temperatures below minus 15 _C (+5 F).
There is a danger of damage to the steel (brittle fracture) and the seals
throughout the system at such extreme minus temperatures. In
addition, such minus temperatures should be considered the realistic
lower limit for concrete placement, as it is no longer possible to
prepare concrete such that it can achieve its strength without the use of
special additives. During cold weather, if hydraulic fluid is not at
normal operating temperature, then boom operation may be sluggish.

A820062_05_0208D

Operation

5.4.2

Danger Zone

22000500

The danger zone when working with the boom is the zone over which the boom
is slewed.

Danger
There is a risk of injury from parts of the delivery line falling beneath
the slewing circle of the placing boom. There is a risk of injury from
falling concrete beneath the end hose.
You should therefore secure the danger zone. Keep the danger zone
under constant observation.
You must halt work immediately and press the EMERGENCY
SHUT--DOWN button if anyone enters the danger zone.

Operation

5.4.3

High- Voltage Lines

22000400

Caution in the Vicinity of High--Voltage Lines

Danger
A spark can jump across from high--voltage lines even if you just
approach them and this will energize the machine and the surrounding
area. YOU MUST THEREFORE MAINTAIN AT LEAST 17 FEET
FROM ANY HIGH-VOLTAGE LINES.

Signal of Boom
Movements

Sound the Horn First, Then Move

Note
Move the placing boom with cautious operation of the controls.
Maintain visual contact with the site of concrete placement.
Warn by sounding the horn before you move the boom.

5.4.5

Temperature-Related
Cylinder Movements

The hydraulic fluid heats up to an average temperature of 140-- 158F


(60-- 70 C) during operation because of the friction in the lines.
When the hydraulic fluid cools, its volume reduces as cold hydraulic
fluid has a smaller volume than does hot hydraulic fluid. This causes
the cylinders on the boom, swing--out legs and outriggers to retract a
little, which causes the boom to move and the outrigger feet to sink.
Caution
The boom can move during lengthy pauses in work due to cooling of
the hydraulic fluid. For this reason you should never leave the boom in
the extended position during breaks in working.
In addition, you must keep the outriggers under constant observation
while the machine is in operation. You may have to readjust the swing-out cylinders and outrigger cylinders.
The extent to which the boom and the truck move depends on the
extent to which the various boom and outrigger cylinders have been
extended and the magnitude of the temperature difference in the
hydraulic fluid.

A820062_05_0208D

531

Operation

5.4.6

Uncontrolled Boom
Movements

The following defects may be the cause of uncontrolled boom


movements:
-- Malfunctions in the remote control circuit
-- Malfunctions on the boom control block
-- Lines, threaded unions or boom cylinders leaking
-- Defective mono-isolator on the boom cylinder
-- Hydraulic system not carefully bled
-- Insufficient hydraulic fluid in the reservoir
-- Cooling of the hydraulic fluid
In this case, the boom may move as soon as the remote control is
switched on. Halt work immediately. You can continue working only
after the causes have been remedied and perfect functioning of the
machine is ensured.
Note
Whatever the reason for the uncontrolled movements of the boom, you
must halt the work on site and have the cause of the breakdown
determined and rectified by qualified personnel.

Danger
In no event should you first press the EMERGENCY SHUT--DOWN
button if the boom starts uncontrolled movements. Should you do this
you will have no ability to counteract the movement.

Countermeasures

You must proceed as follows if the boom starts uncontrolled


movement:
1. Counter the uncontrolled movement immediately and attempt to
steer the boom out of the danger zone and bring it to rest under
control.
2. If the uncontrolled boom movement continues, despite
countermeasures, press the EMERGENCY SHUT--DOWN button.
Note
Repeated practice is required to ensure that it will be possible to implement the measures described above in an emergency.

Hand Signals for


Boom and Pumping
Operations

A820062_05_0208D

Pump operators and persons guiding them must agree on unambiguous


hand signals before commencing work. Suggestions for the most
important hand signals are made in this section. They are based on
ACPA Safety Manual Hand Signals. The direction of movement is
specified from the machine operators direction of view.

533

Operation

5.6

Extending the 36Z


4- Section Boom

Proceed in the sequence specified to extend the 36Z 4-section boom.


The boom must be folded in the reverse sequence.
Note
You must unfold the arm assembly to the side of the truck to be able to
achieve the lowest possible unfolding height of 28.5 ft (8.7 meters).
Caution
The hydraulic fluid is warm when you fold the arm assembly. It then
cools and the pressure in the cylinder drops. If you then raise arm 1,
the remaining arms become depressurized and may fall down. You must
therefore draw the arm assembly together briefly before raising arm 1.
Always observe the specified sequence for folding and unfolding the
boom. Failure to comply with the sequence may allow the crank lever
in the C hinge to compress the delivery line, adjacent hydraulic
cylinders, or other components.

Danger

Arms 3 and 4 must not be moved behind the C hinge when unfolded or
partially unfolded during the entire boom operation. In this arm
position, the rod side C cylinder hydraulic pressure is so high that the
pressure limiting valve responds and the boom will gradually slump.
There is also a risk of uncontrolled boom movements.

534

A820062_05_0208D

Operation

1. As shown below, draw the arm assembly together by: (1) dropping
arm 2 and 4 briefly, and (2) raising arm 3 briefly.

Drawing the Arm Assembly Together

2. As shown below, raise arm 1 approximately 45.

Caution
Take care when unfolding arm 2 that you do not damage the drivers
cab or other elements. It may be necessary to raise arm 1 higher.
4. As shown below, raise arm 2 until it is almost vertical.

536

A820062_05_0208D

Operation

Caution
Before you unfold arm 3, you must open arm 4 by approximately 15_,
so that the boom tip is approximately 3.28 ft (1 meter) away from the
C hinge (hinge between arm 2 and arm 3). The crank lever on the C

Pumping Operations

You must carry out the following operations before you start to pump:
-- Set the machine up for work properly (see Starting Up section).
-- Set the machine supports out properly (see Supporting the
Machine section).
-- Carry out all necessary function checks (see Function Checks
section).
-- Extend the boom to the desired working position (see Extending the
Placing Boom section).

5.7.1

Hazards

Dangers to the life and limb of site personnel can arise at many points
during pumping operations. You can minimize these dangers by
observing the following notes.

Maximum end hose length 13.1 ft (4 m)


Danger zone = 2 end hose length = 26.2 ft (8 m)

Danger
There is a risk of injury in the area around the end hose if the end hose
swings out violently when starting to pump, after a blockage has been
freed, or during washing out. This zone is twice the end hose length in
diameter.
The end hose must be allowed to hang freely.
Ensure that nobody is standing in the danger zone. Keep the danger
zone under constant observation.
You must halt work immediately and press the EMERGENCY
SHUT--DOWN button if anyone enters the danger zone.

Operation

Incorrect Use of
the End Hose

12501901

Danger
Never bend the end hose over. Never attempt to straighten a bent end
hose by increasing the pressure. The end hose must not be inserted in
the concrete. Extension of the placing boom and end hose beyond the
length specified on the boom rating plate is forbidden. The end hose
must be secured against falling.
Sucking in Air

10800114

Agitator Hopper

Escaping Compressed Air

Danger
Entrapped air in the delivery line is dangerous as the compressed air is
released suddenly at the end of the delivery line and the concrete can
be blown out explosively. No air must be sucked in for this reason.
You should therefore always fill the agitator hopper with concrete up to
the mixer shaft during pumping operations.

Notes on Correct
Pumping

To supplement the notes given here, you will find comprehensive


information on the following subjects in our Concrete technology
pamphlet (BP 2158):
-- Concrete components
-- Properties of freshly--mixed concrete
-- Properties and conditions of freshly--mixed concrete when pumping
-- Guide to avoid faults
-- Specifications and regulations of the Technical Regulations
You may request this pamphlet from Putzmeisters After Sales
department should you not already have a copy.

Bouncing Boom
Note
If the boom bounces very heavily in pumping operations, check the
support and correct it as required. Calm pumping is achieved if the
rear wheels are in light contact with the ground. Do this by retracting
the rear support feet until the rear wheels are in ground contact and
then retract the support feet about another .4 inches (1 cm).
If the support is correct, reduce the pump speed or change the boom
position.
The boom can also bounce if air is taken in and compressed in the
delivery line. You should therefore always make sure that the agitator
hopper is always filled with concrete to the mixer shaft and that no air
is sucked in.
Favorable Boom
Position

32202300

Last Arm in a Horizontal Position

542

A820062_05_0208D

Operation

Note
A horizontal position of the last arm is favorable for pumping.
If the last arm is lower than the horizontal, the concrete in this part of
the delivery line will flow more quickly as a result of its self--weight.
The flow velocity is lower if the arm position is horizontal, and thus the
wear on the delivery pipes and the end hose is less.
When the pump is stopped, only the content of the end hose flows out if
the arm position is horizontal; the content of the delivery line can flow
out if the arm position is below the horizontal.
The strokes of the pump cause forces to act along the delivery line and
thus along the boom. If the last arm is vertical, the forces also act
vertically on the boom end and move the boom up and down. If the arm
position is horizontal, the boom is moved forwards and backwards,
which causes a light rocking motion.

Damping Valve

As shown in the diagram below, the damping valve is used to control


the switching speed of the transfer tube.

20203903

Hare: Damping Valve Switch Position Open


Snail: Damping Valve Switch Position Closed

Note
You must close the damping valve when you are pumping soft
consistence concrete (snail symbol) as otherwise the transfer tube
switches over too harshly.
You must open the damping valve (hare symbol) when you are pumping
stiff consistence concrete as the concrete has a damping effect.

A820062_05_0208D

543

Operation

5.7.3

Starting Pumping

The process from the start of concrete pumping to the time at which a
continuously flowing concrete stream exits from the end hose is known
as starting to pump. The entire delivery line must be wetted at the start
of pumping operations by performing the following steps:

Starting Pumping with Thin Concrete

1. Insert two sponge balls into the delivery line through the wash--out
port.
2. Pour approximately 0.65 yd3 (0.5 m3) thin concrete into the hopper.
3. Switch the agitator on.
4. Slowly pump the concrete into the delivery line. The process of
starting to pump with thin concrete is completed when the two
sponge balls and a solid concrete stream exit from the end hose.
Note
You must begin pumping with a priming agent if the delivery lines are
new, or if the delivery line has not been used for a long time. This
priming agent could be either a cement-water mixture (grout) or a
specially designed agent such as the Putz Pack Primer.

5.7.4

Pumping

Commence pumping concrete by performing the following steps:


1. Mix the concrete vigorously in the truck mixer at maximum speed.
Ensure that the concrete mix is uniformly prepared. Correct mixing
of the concrete influences pumping performance.
2. Add concrete additives (deflocculants, set retarding admixtures) and
mix for at least a further four minutes.
3. Pour the concrete from the truck mixer, silo, etc. into the agitator
hopper.
4. Switch the agitator on.
5. Begin delivery.

544

A820062_05_0208D

Operation

Note
Start with a low output and increase this continuously after several
cubic yards (meters).

Breaks in Pumping

You should avoid breaks in pumping as far as possible, as the concrete


in the delivery line can start to set, or can become segregated due to the
vibrations of the machine. Note the following points if breaks are
unavoidable:
-- Never leave the delivery line under pressure;
-- Relieve the delivery line during short breaks in delivery by reverse
pumping briefly (2--3 strokes). Move the concrete at short intervals
by forward and reverse pumping;
-- You should avoid breaks when pumping concrete with a high slump
(i.e., concrete that has a tendency to separate the grout from the
aggregate) as the vibrations can segregate the concrete; When you
restart pumping, you must leave the pump switched to reverse
pumping until the transfer tube switches across fully on both sides.
Only then can you switch over to forwards pumping again.
-- Pump the concrete back into the agitator hopper before long breaks
in pumping. You must mix the concrete again before you
recommence pumping.
Caution
Never use force to pump segregated concrete or concrete that has
become lumpy because it is beginning to set into the delivery line.
Blockages can very easily be caused in this way.
The boom can sink during lengthy breaks in pumping as a result of the
hydraulic fluid cooling. For this reason you must never leave the boom
unattended in the extended position during breaks.

-- concrete leavings in the transfer tube and delivery pipes;
-- unfavorable concrete composition;
-- segregated concrete;
-- set concrete.
Caution
In the event of blockages, pump the concrete immediately back into the
agitator hopper and mix it up. You can switch over to forwards
pumping when the delivery cylinders and the transfer tube are
switching over automatically again without problem. Begin pumping
again with care.

546

A820062_05_0208D

Operation

Overheating

Continuous operation under high loading can lead to overheating of the


hydraulic fluid. All pumps have a thermo--electrical cut--out. The pump
is automatically shut down if the fluid heats up to over 90 _C. Proceed
as follows to prevent this:
1. Check that the hydraulic fluid radiator is operating correctly. If not,
you can switch it on using the toggle switch on the control cabinet.
2. Reduce the output.
3. As shown in the diagram below, fill the water box with fresh water
as soon as the fluid temperature rises above 80_C.

Cooling -- Water box is shown with grate removed for illustration purposes only.
Grate should not be removed unless a qualified mechanic is performing an
approved maintenance procedure.

4. Change the water continuously if the temperature continues to rise.


5. Look for the cause of fluid overheating and rectify it.
6. As shown in the diagram below, if you absolutely must supply
additional cooling, direct the water jet onto the drive cylinders and
the piston rods of the drive cylinders.

Additional Cooling

Caution
Never spray water on the hydraulic fluid reservoir because damage
may be caused to the hydraulic pump. Also never use sea water or
water containing salt for cooling because this will destroy the chrome
layer on the delivery piston rods and delivery cylinders.

A820062_05_0208D

547

Operation

Restarting After
Overheating

If the pump was switched off because of overheating, restart the pump
by performing the following steps:
1. Switch the pump off.
2. Never switch the engine off, as the hydraulic fluid radiator must
remain in operation.
3. Refresh the water in the water box.
4. Wait until the hydraulic fluid has cooled if you are not able to find
the fault immediately.
5. Once the red indicator lamp has extinguished, switch the pump back
on and continue pumping slowly at reduced output.
6. Determine the cause of the fluid overheating once pumping
operations have been completed and rectify the fault.

5.7.6

Special Cases

On some construction sites, it may be the case that the net reach of the
boom is not adequate. You then have the option of connecting a
continuation delivery line to the boom tip or, if your machine is
equipped with a lateral outlet, connecting a delivery line there.

Continuation
Delivery Line

Connect Continuation Delivery Line

Caution
No forces must be transferred from the fixed delivery line to the boom
or vice versa.
The stationary delivery line may not place additional loading on the
boom. This will jeopardize the stability of the machine.
The delivery hose should not be bent or stretched. Blockages can occur
if it is bent. If it is stretched out, forces may be transmitted which can
lead to damage to the structure, delivery hose or boom.
The boom can sink during pumping operations and place the delivery
hose under tension as a consequence of cooling of the hydraulic fluid
in the boom cylinders. This can cause forces to be transferred or the
delivery hose to tear. You should therefore keep the delivery hose under
constant observation.
1. Extend the boom to bring the last arm approximately 4.9--6.6 ft
(1.5--2 m) from the stationary delivery line.
2. Dismantle the end hose.
3. Mount a 9.8 ft (3 m) long delivery hose in place of the end hose.
4. Connect the delivery hose and the fixed delivery line using a SKH
attachment coupling. Use an A seal as the seal.
5. Fasten the SKH attachment coupling securely to the structure.

Cleaning

5.8.1

Preparations for
Cleaning

Prior to cleaning the concrete pump, perform the following steps:


Note
Concrete leavings that are deposited inside the delivery line or transfer
tube can cause damage and will reduce the cross-section as they
accumulate. A clean delivery line and transfer tube is therefore
indispensable if you wish to be able to start pumping without problems
on the next job. When cleaning, adhere to the following instructions:
Concrete leavings deposited around the wear ring can impair its
function. For this reason, thorough flushing of the wear ring is
required at the end of a job, unless the next pumping job follows
within 30 minutes.
Only use cold water at a maximum water pressure of 5 bar (73.5 psi)
for cleaning all painted surfaces in the first four weeks of using the
machine. Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents. The paint is
not fully cured until after this period and you will then be able to use
steam jet equipment or other devices.
Never use sea water or other water containing salt for cleaning
purposes. You must rinse off any sea water that gets on the machine.
Lock the remote control units away in the drivers cab during
cleaning operations. The remote control units do not have a
watertight casing. Execute the machine functions required during
cleaning operations from the control cabinet.
Danger
Leave the hopper grate closed during all cleaning operations, since
you could be trapped by the agitator.

Do not reach into the hopper.

550

A820062_05_0208D

Operation

1. Find an appropriate use for the leavings to help in environmental


protection.
Environmental protection
The leavings should be used on the construction site. The leavings
should be used as building rubble or be recycled if this is not possible:
We recommend that you use the Putzmeister Leavings sheet to
allow you to make use of the concrete leavings. You can lay this
down under the hopper before opening the hopper flap. The concrete
then flows out into the sheet and can be transported to the site of
concrete placement using a site crane.
If the concrete is not to be used, you should bend a length of
reinforcing steel into a hook and insert it in the concrete. Once the
concrete has cured, you can transport the lump of concrete away
using a site crane.
2. Ensure that you have a sufficient numbers of sponge balls and other
cleaning accessories to clean the machine properly.

out unhindered, but that the sponge ball (cube, pig) is trapped and
that this simultaneously seals off the delivery line.

Danger
Remember that:
The use of the catch basket is recommended when water is used to
force out the concrete, to ensure that the delivery line is sealed off,
and no water can escape.
A catch basket on the end of the delivery line is an absolute
requirement if you are forcing the concrete out using compressed
air, as otherwise there is a risk of injury from the wash-out sponge
and concrete as they are expelled.
There is an increased risk of accident when cleaning with
compressed air. The cleaning operation must only be carried out by
a subject expert or under his supervision. Putzmeister accepts no
liability for damage caused by incorrect implementation of
compressed air cleaning. All persons participating in the cleaning
operation must be instructed in the safety regulations.

5. If you wish to use cement bags for high pressure water cleaning,
perform the following steps:
A. As shown in the diagram below, roll up 1 -- 2 empty cement
bags together.
B. Immerse the rolled--up cement bags in water for about
5 minutes before starting the cleaning operation.

Rolled--up Cement Bags

Note
Cement bags soaked in water and rolled up have proved useful when
cleaning the delivery line using water under pressure. The cement bags
prevent the washing water penetrating the concrete, flushing the
concrete out and causing blockages.

Note
You may also prepare a short pipe section containing the cement bags
and a wash--out sponge before you start the cleaning operation.

554

A820062_05_0208D

Operation

6. Prior to cleaning the wear ring and seal ring on the transfer tube, the
water hose must be marked to ensure that the hose does not get cut
by the switching transfer tube during cleaning. Mark the water hose
by performing these steps (refer to diagram below):
A. Measure the hose length required on the outside of the transfer
tube. The nozzle on the hose should be located shortly before
the seal ring so that concrete leavings are washed away from
the area around the wear ring and seal ring when the nozzle is
set to spray.
B. Mark the measured length on the hose with adhesive tape, or
similar.
Note
The best way to clean the wear ring and seal ring on the transfer tube
is to rinse this area with water for some time from close up.
Danger
The machine must be switched off and the hydraulic system, including
the accumulator, fully depressurized when you are measuring the hose
length required, as otherwise there is a risk of injury as the transfer
tube switches over.

Delivery Line
Cleaning Methods

There are a number of options for cleaning a delivery line. Some of the
factors affecting which cleaning method you use include how the
concrete pump has been used and what equipment you have available.
On the next page, you will find a summary of delivery line cleaning
methods. The symbols used in the summary are explained below:

Explanation of Symbols

The delivery line is connected to the concrete pump.


The leavings are pumped by the concrete pump out of
the hopper and onwards to the site of concrete placement. Cleaning is from the hopper onwards to the site of
concrete placement.
The delivery line is connected to the concrete pump.
The leavings are sucked back by the concrete pump
from the site of concrete placement into the hopper.
Cleaning is backwards from the site of concrete placement to the hopper.
The delivery line has been disconnected from the
concrete pump. The leavings are forced forwards from
the start of the delivery line to the site of concrete placement using an external force (compressed air or water
under pressure). Cleaning is from the start of the delivery line to the site of concrete placement.
The delivery line has been disconnected from the
concrete pump. The leavings are forced backwards from
the the site of concrete placement to the start of the delivery line to using an external force (compressed air or
water under pressure). Cleaning is from backwards from
the site of concrete placement to the start of the delivery
line.

Delivery Line Suction


Cleaning

To clean the delivery line using the suction cleaning method, perform
the following steps:
Note
Suction cleaning is the simplest and least hazardous method of
cleaning the delivery line.
1. Pump the agitator hopper out until the concrete is at the level of the
top of the delivery cylinder tubes. Then switch the pump off.
2. As shown in the diagram below, insert a water--soaked wash--out
sponge (cube) into the end hose outlet:

Inserting a Water-Soaked Wash-Out Sponge

3. As shown in the diagram below, shift the placing boom into a


uniformly rising position. This makes it easier to pump the
concrete back as the concrete flows back under its own weight.

Shifting the Placing Boom into a Uniformly Rising Position

558

A820062_05_0208D

Operation

4. Switch the pump to reverse pumping and then turn the pump on.
This will cause the concrete and wash-out sponge to be pumped
back through the delivery line.
5. As shown in the diagram below, tap on the delivery line with a
piece of hardwood (hammer handle) just ahead of the cleaning eye
during the washing out process.
Note
Tapping produces deep dull noises when there is concrete in the
delivery line. Tapping will yield high, clear sounds as soon as the
concrete and wash--out sponge have passed the point at which you are
tapping. Use only a hammer handle to tap on the delivery line, as
otherwise the pipe may be damaged.

Cleaning the Hopper,


Delivery Cylinder,
and S-Tube

To clean the hopper, delivery cylinder and S-tube, perform the


following steps:
Danger
In no event should you insert the water hose, the spray gun or other
objects through the grill into the hopper to spray out the delivery
cylinders. Such objects may be trapped by the transfer tube as it
switches over and become damaged. The objects may be caused to fly
about, thereby causing an injury to you or other persons.
1. Drain off the leavings onto a sheet beneath the hopper by
performing the following steps (refer to diagram below):
A. Place the Putzmeister leavings sheet beneath the hopper.
B. Open the hopper flap beneath the hopper and let the leavings
flow out of the hopper.
C. Switch the pump over to reverse pumping. This pumps the
leavings out of the delivery cylinders into the hopper and thus
out of the hopper opening.

Truck superstructure
and Post- Washing
Operations

Once the delivery line, hopper, delivery cylinders and transfer tube
have been washed out, you must then rinse down thoroughly all parts
of the machine that have come into contact with concrete. Concrete
that is not washed off immediately can attack the paint, especially if
aggressive concrete additives have been used. Perform truck
superstructure and post-washing operations by completing the
following steps:
Caution
The delivery line, water box, water tank and water pump must be
drained fully if there is a risk of freezing. The water box must also be
drained at normal temperatures during longer breaks in pumping, e.g.
overnight and at weekends, etc. Leave the water outlet open
afterwards.

Danger of explosion
Atomized preserving agents are highly explosive. Keep away from all
sources of ignition while spraying.

Danger of poisoning
Cleaning agents, solvents or preserving agents sprayed in air can enter
the lungs and cause serious health damage. You should, therefore, always wear respiratory protection during this work.
1. Clean all seals and the seal seats. Grease the seals before replacing
them.
2. Clean the remaining parts of the machine by rinsing down with a
water hose. Then spray the metal components with an anticorrosion
agent or release agent.
3. Clean and drain the water box daily.

Teardown

5.9.1

Boom Teardown

To teardown the machine after a concrete pour and prepare it for travel,
perform the following steps:

Note
When the arm assembly is folding, the end hose cannot automatically
drop into the end hose catch brackets because of the design of the arm
assembly. Therefore, you must first move the arm into a position which
allows the end hose to drop into the end hose catch brackets.
Caution
Always observe the specified sequence for folding and unfolding the
boom. Failure to comply with the sequence may allow the crank lever
in the C hinge to compress the delivery line, adjacent hydraulic
cylinders, or other components. Retract the placing boom carefully.
Danger

Arms 3 and 4 must not be moved behind the C hinge when unfolded or
partially unfolded during the entire boom operation. In this arm
position, the rod side C cylinder hydraulic pressure is so high that the
pressure limiting valve responds and the boom will gradually slump.
There is also a risk of uncontrolled boom movements.
Before moving arm 3 to the rear, you must move arm 4 towards arm 3
until the boom tip is approximately 1 m from the C hinge.

A820062_05_0208D

565

Operation

1. As shown in the diagrams below, catch the end hose by performing


the following steps:
A. Retract arm 3 until it is vertical.

B. Unfold arm 4 completely in a single motion so that the end


hose drops into the end hose catch brackets.

566

A820062_05_0208D

Operation

Caution
You must fold arm 3 in fully before you fold arm 4 in fully, otherwise
the C hinge crank lever will press on the boom tip pipe bend.
Therefore, only fold arm 4 in fully once you have folded arm 3 in fully.
2. As shown below, fold arm 4 in so that the boom tip is
approximately 1 m from the C hinge.

3. As shown below, fold arm 3 in fully until it rests against arm 2.

General Tightening
Torques

Tightening torques depend on bolt grade, thread friction and bolt head
bearing area. The values given in the following tables are for guidance.
These values should only be used if no other values are specified in the
relevant sections of the Operating Instructions or in spare parts sheets.
Caution
You must always use bolts of the same size and grade when you have to
replace bolts. Bolts with adhesive in the locking threads and self--locking
nuts must always be replaced after removal.

The tables below give the maximum tightening torques Md in Nm for a


friction factor tot. = 0.14, for a lightly--oiled or lightly--greased thread.
Note
All tightening torques are multiplied by a factor of 1.1 for bolts with
cement in the thread.

6.3

Functional Fluids

This section lists all the functional fluids used in your machine.
Caution
Never use hydraulic fluids or lubricants with additives such as
molybdenum. Such additives can attack the bearings.

6.3.1

Hydraulic Fluid

The hydraulic system is filled with:


-- mineral hydraulic fluid (HV) or
-- biologically degradable hydraulic fluid based on a synthetic ester
(HEES) or
-- non--readily flammable hydraulic fluid (HFC).
Please see the machine card to find out what the initial filling was in
your machine.
Danger
Never mix hydraulic fluids with different characteristics (i.e. do not mix
biologically degradable hydraulic fluid with mineral hydraulic fluids
etc.).

Note
Please only use a hydraulic fluid complying with the classification and
requirements standards specified in the lubricant recommendation for
topping up or a full fluid change. HEES synthetic esters and HFC
aqueous solutions from different manufacturers must not be mixed
together without prior approval from the manufacturers concerned.
When hydraulic fluids of different viscosity grades are mixed, the new
viscosity is determined by the mix ratio. Loss of quality is possible if
hydraulic fluids from different manufacturers are mixed. For this
reason, you must always consult the manufacturer before mixing fluids.
When the hydraulic fluid is changed, some 10 -- 15% of the old
hydraulic fluid remains in the system (in cylinders, pumps, lines, etc).
Take note of VDMAs changeover guidelines and manufacturers
instructions if you are changing over your fluid. Please contact the
manufacturers concerned if you have any queries regarding the
suitability and miscibility of hydraulic fluids.

Maintenance

6.3.2

Oil for the Power


Take- Off (PTO),
Rotor and Agitator
Gearboxes

The power take--off and agitator gearboxes are filled with an API GL4
transmission oil of viscosity grade SAE 90.

6.3.3

Manual Lubrication

Use a multipurpose lithium soap base grease for lubrication.


Marking in accordance with DIN 51 502: K2K--30, NLGI Class 2.

6.3.4

Centralized
Lubrication System

Fill the centralized lubrication system with a multipurpose lithium soap


base grease.
Marking in accordance with DIN 51 502: K1K--30, NLGI Class 1.

Low temperature
greases

We recommend grease marked K E 2G--60 in accordance with


DIN 51502, NLGI Class 2 in a deviation from the lubricants table if
you wish to use a low temperature grease in the centralized lubrication
system under conditions of extreme cold.

Truck Engine Oil and


Transmission Oil

The engine and the truck transmission are filled by the truck
manufacturer. Maintenance only in accordance with the truck
manufacturers specifications.

6.3.5

68

Use only high quality transmission oil matching this specification for
topping up or for a full oil change (observe the manufacturers
information).

A820062_06_0412

Maintenance

6.3.6

Level of Contaminant

Level of contaminant 18/14 in accordance with ISO 4406 is specified for


lubrication and the hydraulic system. You can find the level of
contaminant of the original filling from the report of results on the
machine card.

6.3.7

Lubricant Analysis

Please consult the Putzmeister After Sales Department should you


discover that the functioning of your machine is impaired with one of
the lubricants or hydraulic fluids used. We will carry out a lubricant
analysis to determine the cause.

6.3.8

Storage of
Lubricants

Do not store oils and greases in the open air. Water may be absorbed
through the bung hole in the event of changes in the exposure to the
weather.
Only store the barrels lying on their side and supported on timber
blocks, with the bung hole facing upwards.
Environmental protection
You must carefully collect all functional fluids, e.g. used oil (including biologically degradable oils), filters and auxiliary materials and dispose of
them separately from other waste. You must keep used oils of various
types separate in order to keep disposal costs as low as possible.
Observe the national and regional regulations applicable to your area.
Only work with waste disposal companies who are approved by the
responsible authorities.

6.4

Recommended
Lubricants

We have listed the suitable lubricants in the tables on the next page.
Putzmeister accepts no liability for the quality of the lubricants listed or
for changes in quality made by the lubricant producer without changing
the grade designation.
Note
Please use only Putzmeister hydraulic fluid, part no. 239879002, when
you are topping up the hydraulic fluid or carrying out a full fluid
change if your machine was filled with non--readily flammable hydraulic fluid in the works (HFC as specified in the 7th Luxembourg
Report).
Please use only Putzmeister hydraulic fluid, part no. 239693000, when
you are topping up the hydraulic fluid or carrying out a full fluid
change if your machine was filled with a synthetic ester in the works.
Putzmeister accepts no liability for damages caused by mixing fluids
from different manufacturers.
You must first consult Putzmeister Department APS if you wish to use
hydraulic fluids with viscosity grades other than Multi-grade 68 (e.g.,
at higher ambient temperatures).
The proportion of residual fluid must not be greater than 2% after a
fluid change from HV to HEES. This means that a flushing filling with
the full quantity of the new hydraulic fluid must be carried out. In addition, for reasons of gasket compatibility, a fluid change must be carried
out no later than 6 months after the machine is commissioned. It should
also be noted, at this point, that all filters must be changed after 50
hours of operation, since deposits may be dissolved and transported to
the filters by the new fluid.

610

A820062_06_0412

Maintenance

Caution
The following points must be complied with in order to prevent
damage:
You must warm the machine up briefly if you wish to start using it
when the hydraulic fluid temperature is below 0 _C. To do this, engage the power take--off, switch off the concrete pump and allow the
machine to idle for a few minutes.
The machine should not be placed under full load until the temperature of the hydraulic fluid (Multi-grade 68) has risen above 10 _C.
The ideal temperature for the hydraulic fluid (HV or HEES,
Multi-grade 68) is between 40 _C and 70 _C.

Danger
Never mix hydraulic fluids of different types, ie do not mix biologically
degradable hydraulic fluids with mineral hydraulic fluids etc.

This maintenance card describes changing the oil and checking the
oil level in the transfer gearbox.

No further maintenance cards required.

No special tools required.

Caution
The transfer gearbox must never be shifted when under load. Only
shift the transfer gearbox when the Cardan shaft is stationary.
Check that the expirator screws are clean and operating correctly
each time that the oil in the transfer gearbox is changed. If necessary,
clean or replace the expirator screws.
The transfer gearbox must never be operated if an expirator screw is
missing or defective. Otherwise, leaks may occur due to an increase
in pressure.
This may then cause damage to the transfer gearbox.

Note
The transfer gearbox lubrication circuit is divided into the following
areas:
Oil circuit A" lubricates the gearbox.
Oil circuit B" lubricates the connection of the hydraulic pumps.

Checking
Accumulator
Pre-Charge Pressure

To check accumulator pre-charge pressure, perform the following


steps:

Note
The proper gas pre--charge pressure (1320 PSI or 90 bar) is set at the
factory. It is suggested that the pressure be rechecked approximately
3--4 months after placing unit in service and every 12 months
thereafter.
Danger
BEFORE CHECKING THE PRE- CHARGE PRESSURE, BE
SURE MACHINE IS SHUT DOWN AND ALL HYDRAULIC
PRESSURE AND FLUID IN ACCUMULATOR HAS BEEN
RELIEVED.
1. Unscrew valve protection cap (#10) and valve seal hex cap (#11).

2. To connect gauging unit to accumulator, perform the following
steps:
Turn T-handle counterclockwise until resistance is felt.
Close manual bleed valve, hand tight.
Connect gauging unit to accumulator by screwing cap nut onto
gas valve, hand tight.
3. After gauging unit has been installed, turn T-handle clockwise a
maximum of 3 full turns from full counterclockwise position.
4. If gauge does not indicate 1320 PSI (90 bar), perform appropriate
procedure to increase or decrease accumulator pressure:
If pressure reading is . . .
< 1320 PSI (90 bar)
> 1320 PSI (90 bar)

Then . . .
Increase pressure

Measuring the
Wall Thickness
(Machines with
S Transfer Tube)

This maintenance card describes how to measure the wall thickness of


delivery lines. You will find the service intervals in the maintenance
summary at the start of this section.

No further maintenance cards required.

The following special tools are required:


Wall thickness measuring device

Note
Delivery lines are subject to constant wear. Measurement of the wall
thickness is particularly important before starting on large jobs.
You will obtain reliable results for your measurements if you carry out
the test with the measuring device recommended by Putzmeister.

Danger of explosion
The delivery line can burst if it reaches the right delivery pressure, particularly if a blockage has built up, if the wall thickness of the delivery
line has declined below the minimum required.

Caution
Only tap the delivery line with hardwood (hammer handle). Otherwise
dents may be caused which lead to even faster wear. In addition, the
hardened lining of high wear resisting pipes may flake off the inside of
the pipe. The pipe can burst at points that have suffered heavy wear.

11000101

Tapping the delivery line with a hammer handle

Straight pipes

Uniform wear can be achieved by regularly rotating the straight


delivery pipes 120.
The minimum wall thickness for straight pipes is shown in the
following graph.

Elbows

Uniform wear can be achieved by regularly rotating the elbows 180.


The wear on the external radius of an elbow is greater than that on the
internal radius or on straight pipes. You should, therefore, take special
care when measuring the wall thickness of the external radius of an
elbow.
The minimum wall thickness for elbows is shown in the following
graph.

11000200

Rotate delivery pipes and elbows regularly

682

WK10_007_9909

Maintenance Card
10--007
Page 3 of 6

S transfer tube

The minimum wall thickness for the S transfer tube depends on the
maximum possible operating pressure. Furthermore, the fact that the
transfer tube is subject to greater stress at the point at which the torque
is applied (switching shaft -- transfer tube connection) must be taken
into consideration.

12501601

Area of significant loading

Maximum possible operating pressure

Guide value for wall thickness

up to 130 bar

approx. 3 mm

over 130 bar

approx. 5 mm

Note
We must emphasis the fact that the transfer tube is subject to variable
degrees of loading as a consequence of the dynamic loading during
pumping. There is no general method for calculating this loading,
which depends on the individual circumstances, and so the delivery line
can also burst at an operating pressure which is assumed still to be
permissible.
You should also note that the operating pressure can rise to the
maximum pressure in the event of a blockage, and in this case the wall
thickness may no longer be adequate.

WK10_007_9909

683

Maintenance Card
10--007
Page 4 of 6

Measuring

Follow the operating instructions supplied with the measuring device


when carrying out measurements. Do not measure the wall thickness of
the delivery line at just one point, but around the entire circumference
of the delivery pipes.
The minimum wall thickness is shown in the following graph.
Caution
Pipes and elbows must be replaced as soon as the wall thickness has
declined to the value for the minimum wall thickness.
Putzmeister accepts no liability if the wall thickness falls below the
minimum.

Note
As a rule it is possible to continue pumping with a lower operating
pressure than that shown in the graph.
We should, however, draw your attention to the fact that the delivery
line is subject to varying loading as a result of the dynamic loading
during pumping. There is no general method for calculating this
loading, which depends on the individual circumstances, and so the
delivery line can also burst at an operating pressure which is assumed
still to be permissible.
Furthermore, the operating pressure can rise to 85 bar in the event
of blockages, meaning that the wall thickness will no longer be
adequate and the delivery line will burst.

-- Boom delivery line
-- Pump--boom delivery line.
These comprise:
-- bends;
-- straight pipes of uniform length;
-- adapter pipes (straight pipes manufactured individually for each arm
package in order to fit the delivery line to the arm lengths).

Wall thickness

Measure the wall thickness of the delivery line to determine which pipe
sections need to be replaced.
Maintenance card: Measuring the wall thickness
The starting points for laying the pipe on the boom are the hinge pivot
points. The straight sections of the delivery line run from pivot point to
pivot point. The delivery line is matched to the arm length concerned
by means of the adapter pipes. The length of the pump--boom delivery
line is also adapted by means of adapter pipes.

Ordering

First adapter pipe on A arm (L1)


Second adapter pipe on A arm (L1.1)
First adapter pipe on B arm (L2)
Second adapter pipe on B arm (L2.1), etc.
First pipe in pump -- boom delivery line (V1)
Second pipe in pump -- boom delivery line (V2), etc.
V8 and V9 are adapter pipes for lateral outlets
V10 is always the riser pipe

The length of the adapter pipes differs according to the machine and
boom. For re--ordering purposes, you should take the lengths and
location of all the adapter pipes on your machine from the adapter
pipes plate next to the rating plate or from the following spare parts
sheets:
-- Boom delivery line:
Spare parts sheet group 25.0
-- Pump--boom delivery line:
Spare parts sheet group 25.3

The adapter pipe lengths plate is located on the boom

When ordering adapter pipes you should always state:


-- Machine number
Example: 22/.....
-- Mounting position
L3.1
-- Length in mm
1377 mm
-- Diameter DN
DN 125
Caution
You must not exceed the delivery line wall thickness specified on
the rating plate and in the machine card. The additional weight can
impair the machines stability.

Note
Should you wish to re--equip your machine to a delivery line of greater
wall thickness, the machines stability will have to be recalculated and
checked and approved by an authorized inspector.

Untensioned
assembly

The boom delivery line must be fitted with the arm assembly fully
relieved of tension:
-- the arm assembly is not under tension in the transport position if
each arm is lying freely on the rest provided for this purpose;
-- the arm assembly is not under tension when unfolded if each arm is
supported.
Caution
If the tension on the arm package is not fully relieved during assembly,
stresses may occur in the delivery line on movement of the placing
boom and consequential damage may be caused to the pipe brackets
and to the placing boom. Furthermore, the boom may swing up and
down causing the end hose to swing and strike out during pumping
operations.

Page 4 of 8

Clearance

A clearance of 4 mm must be maintained between the delivery pipes


over the whole of the delivery line, so that the welding neck rings can
butt against the couplings without play. This clearance is achieved
either:
-- automatically, through the use of a C seal (triple--lip seal), or
-- manually, by adjustment, using a feeler gauge.

Seal

C seals (triple--lip seals) are used where the delivery line runs in a
straight line and there is no rotational movement. The 4 mm clearance
is created automatically.
Caution
No triple--lip seals (C seals) may be used in the pivot joints in the pipe
bends.

A seals are used:


-- if the delivery line does not run in a straight line;
-- in the pivot joints; and
-- at the assembly coupling at the tip of the boom.
The spacing of 4 mm must be set using the feeler gauge.
Coupling

Couplings with lever closures must be secured with a spring clip.

11000800

Securing couplings with lever closures

Couplings with a threaded closure are closed using self--locking nuts.


These nuts may not be re--used, but must be replaced each time the
coupling is fitted.
