C-30HDG PUMP — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

CAUTION must always be observed while servicing this

pump. Rotating parts can cause injury if contacted.

ALWAYS stored the pump in a clean, dry location out of the

reach of children.

ALWAYS use extreme care when operating near obstructions,

on slippery surfaces, grades and side slopes.

■ Unauthorized equipment modifications will void all

warranties.

■ Refer to the

Engine Owner's Manual

for engine technical

questions or information.

■ Before start-up, check the hopper and remove all obstructions.
■ Keep all hands out of the hopper when the engine is running.
DO NOT operate the pump with the hood open.
■ Replace any worn or damaged pump components

immediately.

ALWAYS turn the engine

OFF

before performing must be

before performing maintenance.

ALWAYS make sure pump is correctly secured to the trailer.

Check all supports attaching the pump to the trailer and make
sure they are tight.

ALWAYS make sure that the pump's trailer is placed on solid

level ground so that it cannot slide or shift around, endangering
workers. Place blocks under the trailer's bumper to make it
level (prevents tipping), and use a chocked block underneath
the wheels to prevent rolling. Also keep the immediate area
free of bystanders.

■ Before towing, check the hitch and secure the safety chain to

the towing vehicle. Also check for proper tire pressure.

■ Tow only with a vehicle and hitch rated to tow a 2,950 lbs.

(1,338 Kg) load.

■ If pump is equipped with ball hitch coupler, use only a 2” all

steel ball rated for a minimum of 5000 lbs. Use a 1” hardened
steel pull pin, if the pump is equipped with a pin hitch.

ALWAYS check the machine for loosened threads or bolts

before starting.

■ A copy of this manual shall accompany the pump at all times.
DO NOT use worn out hoses or couplings; inspect daily.
DO NOT disconnect the hose couplings or nozzle while they

are under pressure. Relieve the pressure by manually
swinging the clamp arm latch handle to the first open position
at the exhaust cone outlet.

■ The pump should NEVER be towed in excess of 45 MPH (or

less depending on road conditions).

■ If hose lines are

blocked

for any reason, or if the lines are

kinked

when starting up or during pumping cycle, the pump

pressure could straighten out the kink or force out the blockage.
This rapid surge of material could cause the lines to

move or

whip

in a manner that could cause injury to personnel.

■ Inspect the hose lines at all times
DO NOT tow the pump with the hopper full of material.
DO NOT tow the pump with the hoses attached.
NEVER disconnect any

emergency or safety devices

.

These devices are intended for operator safety. Disconnection
of these devices can cause severe injury, bodily harm or even
death! Disconnection of any of these devices will void all
warranties.

ALWAYS make sure the delivery system used, pipe hose

clamps ect., exceed the rated pressure of the pump. In addition
the pumping system should be checked for worn components
prior to start up. Use snap pins on all snap couplings.
