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.
