SILIcOSIS/RESPIRAtORy wARnInGS  
WARNING WARNING  
SILICOSIS WARNING  
RESPIRATORY HAZARDS  
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and  
other materials with silica in their composition may give  
off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a  
basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and  
numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or  
substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can  
cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including  
silicosis. In addition, California and some other  
authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a  
substance known to cause cancer. When cutting such  
materials, always follow the respiratory precautions  
mentioned above.  
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and  
other materials can generate dust, mists and fumes  
containing chemicals known to cause serious or fatal  
injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer,  
birth defects or other reproductive harm. If you are  
unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular  
process and/or material being cut or the composition of  
the tool being used, review the material safety data  
sheet and/or consult your employer, the material  
manufacturer/supplier, governmental agencies such as  
OSHA and NIOSH and other sources on hazardous  
materials. California and some other authorities, for  
instance, have published lists of substances known to  
cause cancer, reproductive toxicity, or other harmful  
effects.  
Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where  
possible. In this regard use good work practices and  
follow the recommendations of the manufacturers or  
suppliers, OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade  
associations. Water should be used for dust  
suppression when wet cutting is feasible. When the  
hazards from inhalation of dust, mists and fumes cannot  
be eliminated, the operator and any bystanders should  
always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for  
the materials being used.

GEnERAL InfORMAtIOn  
3. By getting a rock pocket, such as mixer tailings, into the  
pump valve. This rock pocket will have an insufficient  
coating of mortar and the mix will not be plastic enough  
to allow the valve to operate or the mix to move in the  
line.  
CONCReTe Mix DeSigN  
Mix design is most important to achieve maximum  
pumpability. Pumpability is affected by, among other  
factors, the type and gradation of aggregate used. Natural  
aggregates make a more workable mix and pump more  
readily than crushed aggregates. A blend of natural and  
crushed aggregates will produce a workable mix. The  
type and gradation of aggregates is equally important  
for workability as the size and percentage of coarse  
aggregates in the mix.  
4. Through excessive bleeding.If the mix is short or fines,  
but the sand is otherwise fairly well graded, bleeding  
will not normally create any problems as long as the  
pump continues operation. But, if the pump is shut  
down, bleeding can result in a loss of lubrication and  
blocked erratic flow.  
The term “aggregates” describes all of the solid materials,  
from the largest rock to the smallest grain of sand,  
contained in the concrete mix.  
The above are bad concrete practices, regardless of how  
the mix is to be placed. But, these points do show that  
special mixes are not always needed, within limits, for  
pumping concrete. Good aggregate gradation is most  
important to pump concrete the maximum distance.  
Concrete mixes with a consistency as dry as one-inch  
slump and as wet as ten-inch slump have been pumped;  
but for maximum efficiency from the pump, a slump ranging  
from two to six inches will produce a more workable mix  
than one that contains more or less water.  
The use of admixtures can have a beneficial effect on  
pumpability. Most of the dispersing agents will fatten,  
retard bleeding, and increase workability.Thus, the average  
concrete can be pumped for appreciably longer distances.  
Air entraining agents will also improve workability, although  
they cannot be used as a substitute for good gradation of  
the aggregate.  
The principle of concrete pumping is based on self-  
lubrication. As it moves through the transfer line, the  
concrete takes the shape of a plastic cylinder. It is forced  
through the transfer line on a film of mortar that is self-  
troweled to the service of the transfer line around its full  
periphery by the slug of concrete itself.  
Pumping will not appreciably affect the final air content of  
the mix. High-early cement tends to give a more readily  
pumpable mix with superior water retaining qualities.  
However, if delays are likely to occur, extra care must be  
exercised due to the faster setting time over regular cement.  
A slump rating should be used with discretion; it is not  
always a real indication of the pumpability of the mix. The  
concrete may be workable in the sense that it will readily  
flow into place, but the same mix may not respond to  
pressure.  
The Mayco LS600P will pump a wide variety of concrete  
pump mixes.But, there are guidelines that must be followed.  
Use this information in conjunction with the Operation  
section of this manual.  
Overly wet mixes tend to separate. In addition to affecting  
the strength and quality of the concrete, the delivery  
system will not tolerate separation. Overly dry mixes are  
similarly unsatisfactory if they lack plasticity and tend to be  
crumbly. To be properly pumped, the mix must be able to  
continuously coat the inside of the line with a lubricating  
seal of mortar.  
There are four ways in which this seal can be lost:  
1. By pumping excessively wet mixes which do not have  
enough cohesion to hold together.  
2. By pumping harsh undersanded concrete with poorly  
graded aggregates which can jam together when the  
pressure becomes too great for the insufficient amount  
of sand to hold the aggregates apart.

In addition, this Mayco Concrete Pump can be used to  
pump a large aggregate hard rock as follows:  
Concrete is made by mixing locally available rock and sand  
with cement and water. For this reason there are great  
differences in the pumpability of concrete from one region  
of the country to another.  
Pea rock (1/2" minus) pump with mixes being as low as  
30% rock and 70% sand. (reference maintenance for  
recommendations on cleaning the pump.)  
Shortening pea rock when used with an air compressor  
and nozzle.  
It is impossible to define a specific mix for each region that  
the concrete pump be will working in.Therefore, the mixes  
listed in Appendix - Concrete Mix Information will provide  
a basic guideline for establishing the proper mix design  
for your area.  
“Mud Jacking”, high pressure grouting.  
pUMpiNg iNfORMaTiON  
Use this information to specify your requirements to your  
local ready-mix batch plant, contractor and civil engineer.  
It may take minor adjustments to make a mix pumpable,  
so you should explain your needs.  
Remixtures  
Remixtures that are designed into the concrete mix by  
the redi-mix company or an architectural engineering  
company.This section lists common admixtures and a brief  
explanation of their functions:  
The elements that have to be controlled and consistently  
maintained by the batch plant are:  
1. pozzolith 300 — Or the equivalent acts as a water  
retarder and a lubricant. On a lean mix, long pushes,  
stiff mixes, and vertical pushes, Pozzolith 300R helps  
pumpability.  
1. The sizing and mix percentage of rocks, gap graded  
from the largest down through the smallest sizes.  
2. Sand with a sieve analysis that has the proper  
percentage of fines, ASTM C33 spec.  
2. MBvR — Air entraining, acts as a lubricant.  
3. Sufficient cement to produce the required design  
strength of the concrete and provide the lubricating  
binder to pump the concrete through the delivery  
system.  
3. Calcium Chloride — Commonly referred to as C.C.,  
is used as an accelerator. When pumping a load with  
calcium chloride, it is recommended that you wash out  
if the waiting time between delivery trucks becomes  
too long.  
Use a minimum of:  
500 lbs. of cement/cu yd for 2500 p.s.i. concrete after  
28 days.  
4. Super Plasticizers — Acts as an accelerator. The  
concrete will look very wet after the super plasticizer  
is added, but will begin to set up very fast. Wash out  
immediately if you do not have a truck waiting. Super  
plasticizers are used mainly on commercial jobs.  
530 lbs. of cement/cu yd for 3000 p.s.i. concrete after  
28 days.  
600 lbs. of cement/cu yd for 4000 p.s.i. concrete after  
28 days.  
5. Red Label — Acts as a water retarder and an  
accelerator. Red label will be used mainly on  
commercial jobs.  
4. Admixture pump-aid if necessary.  
6. Fly Ash — Is used to help increase the strength of the  
concrete and decrease the cement content per yard.  
This is one of the most common admixtures used.  
5. The proper amount of water to make a workable slump  
and plasticize the mix.  
NOTICE  
All admixtures will be shown on the redi-mix concrete  
ticket. Before starting the pumping job, ask the driver of  
the redi-mix truck to see the concrete ticket and note the  
admixtures that exist and take the proper action.

Downhill Pumping  
NOTICE  
Downhill pumping can be a difficult procedure on some  
jobs.The slurry procedure would be the same as explained  
Priming The Pump With Slurry Mixture section of this  
manual.It is suggested that a sponge approximately 2”x 4”x  
6” in size be placed in the hose before the start of pumping.  
It is strongly recommended that steel pipe be used on all  
vertical pumping for safety and convenience.  
Hose Pulsation  
A slight pulsation of the hose will always be noticeable near  
the pump.Excessive pulsation of the hose near the pump is  
normally due to higher than average line pressures caused  
by stiff, harsh mixes, or extremely long pumping distances.  
Wet the sponge before placing it in the hose to keep the  
slurry from running too far ahead of the concrete, which  
will reduce the possibility of separation.When the pump is  
stopped, the material can flow slowly down, due to gravity,  
and cause the hose to collapse.  
The use of 2 -1/2I.D.hose in these extreme cases reduces  
line pressures or the addition of slight amounts of water  
to the mix, if permissible, will permit easier pumping. The  
use of certain pumping admixtures may help.  
When pumping is resumed, you can expect blockage at  
the point of hose collapse.To prevent this from happening,  
the hose can be “kinked off” at the discharge end when the  
pump is stopped to prevent the gravity flow of the material  
in the hose.  
If excessive pulsation exists in the hose, it is advisable to  
use burlap or some means of wear protection under the  
hose at points where the hose may wear through the outer  
cover; e.g. over forms, steel or sharp curbs.  
The use of stiffer mixes when pumping downhill will  
decrease gravity flow of the material in the hose and  
will assure a smoother operation between the cam roller  
bearing and cam plate. As with any job, make sure that  
the hose and the couplings are in good workable shape.  
Snap-Joint Couplings  
When using Snap-Joint couplings with gaskets to join hose,  
see that they are washed clean after each job. Keeping the  
hose ends clean (heavy duty) is very important for the best  
job setup. A thin coat of grease on the rubber gasket or  
dipping both coupling and gasket in water before coupling  
the hose will make for easier installation.  
vertical pumping  
When pumping vertically up the side of a building, above  
40 feet, we would recommend the installation of steel pipe  
securely fastened at intervals as necessary to support the  
pipe. Ninety degree, long radius pipe sweeps should be  
installed at the top and bottom of the steel line.  
Use a 25 ft.hose, or short section, off the pump;and for the  
balance of the horizontal distance to the vertical line, use  
steel pipe.This type of installation has been satisfactory on  
many jobs being pumped in excess of 100 feet high. Line  
pressures are always less using steel pipe as compared  
to hose.  
When pumping vertically, using all hose, it is recommended  
not to go higher than 50 feet with hose.The hose should be  
tied off at intervals of 10 feet, if possible. Special attention  
should be given when tieing the hose off at the top as  
the hose will have a tendency to stretch when filled with  
concrete.This will increase the possibility of a blockage at  
the point where the hose is tied off. To avoid this, a long  
radius of 90° elbow is recommended.The suggested place  
to tie off is on the hose, under the clamp.

GEnERAL InfORMAtIOn  
Fill the hopper with water after making sure that all sand and  
rock have been removed from manifold. Operate pump at  
full throttle and the 3/8" diameter hole restriction will create  
sufficient back pressure to make thorough inspection of all  
moving parts.  
3. If it is necessary to wait 10 minutes or more for another  
load of concrete, it is wise to start the pump and pump  
6 or 8 strokes every 5 minutes to prevent setting of the  
mix in the system. If waiting time is excessive, it would  
be wise to wash out the pump and hoses and start over  
when the new truck arrives.  
The effects Of Heat and excessive Time On  
Concrete:  
4. When pumping stiff mixes and there is waiting time  
between redi-mix trucks, it is advisable to add some  
water to the last hopper of material and “hand mix” to  
ensure an easier start with the following load.  
Hot concrete, commonly referred to as a hot load, is  
concrete that has been in the redi-mix truck in excess of 2  
to 3 hours. On a hot day, this amount of time is even less.  
5. When the pumping job requires a stiffer mix, the  
following method is suggested for starting:Take a water  
hose with a nozzle on it and apply water with a fine  
spray to the concrete as it comes down the redi-mix  
chute into the pump hopper after the slurry procedure  
is completed and you are ready to start pumping.  
A brief explanation of why heat and time affect concrete:  
Concrete starts setting by drying up through a chemical  
reaction. The catalyst to this reaction is heat. When  
pumping a hot load, it is important to remember that when  
you have to stop pumping for any reason, add water to the  
concrete in the hopper and hand mix and move concrete in  
the hose every 5 minutes. If the shut down time becomes  
too long, wash out immediately.  
6. Using this procedure will make it easier to pump  
through the clean hose.  
NOTICE  
If it is necessary to wait 1/2 hour or more for another load  
of concrete, to prevent setting of the mix in the system, it  
is advisable to consider the following factors (A through D)  
affecting the concrete:  
Once the concrete has reached the end of the hose,  
DO NOT apply any more water in this manner as this  
procedure is used for starting only.  
How old is the concrete?  
7. Hose sizing is very important:We strongly recommend  
on harsh mixes, vertical pushes, stiff concrete,  
shotcrete, long pushes, that a 2-1/2” line be used as  
far as possible.The advantages of using the 2-1/2” line  
are improved pumpability, less pumping pressure and  
less wear on the pump.  
Is there an accelerator, calcium chloride, red label, etc.,  
in the concrete?  
The temperature of the day, 80, 90, degrees?  
How much system you have out and how stiff was the  
mix you were pumping?  
8. Following the pump operation, proper wash out of all  
materials or “build-up” within the pump manifold and  
hoses will prevent problems when starting the next job.  
preventing Mix Set-Up after pump Shutdown  
When the pump is stopped for any reason during a pour;  
e.g., moving hose, waiting for redi-mix truck, the following  
suggestions are offered:  
9. A thorough inspection of the drive components and  
greasing of all bearings after each job will ensure  
adequate lubrication and service to the pump which  
is normally operating in wet, gritty conditions.  
1. Leave the hopper full of concrete at the time of  
shutdown. It is important not to let the redi-mix driver  
wash too much water into the hopper, as this could  
cause separation of the concrete in the hopper.  
NOTICE  
Over-greasing any bearing on your Mayco pump will not  
damage the bearing.  
2. If the shutdown period exceeds 2 to 3 minutes, turn  
off the engine so the vibration does not separate the  
mix in the hopper which can cause a blockage in the  
manifold when the pump is started.

If a blockage occurs in a hose, walk the hose until you find  
the point of trouble.The hose will be soft immediately past  
the blockage. To clear the blockage:  
ClearingThe System after Mix Set Up  
If, for any reason, the mix should set up in the system, the  
following procedure is suggested:  
1. Disconnect the hose at the first coupling past the  
blockage. Be careful when disconnecting hose. Hose  
is under pressure. Hose could whip and cause severe  
bodily harm.  
1. Disconnect the hose from the pump and wash the  
pump out immediately.  
WaRNiNg  
2. Elevate the hose at that point with the blockage area  
hanging down.  
Hose Line Pressure  
When disconnecting hoses, use extreme CaUTiON.  
The hose is under pressure.Hose could whip and cause  
severe bodily harm.  
3. Using a hammer, you can pound the downstream edge  
of the packed area until it is free to flow. Shake all of  
the sand and gravel out to the end of the hose.  
4. Before reconnecting the hose, start the pump and  
run a small amount of concrete out to the end of the  
hose. This will assure that all of the separation is out  
of the hose.  
2. Reconnect the hose and fill the hopper with water.  
3. Reconnect the hose and fill the hopper with water. DO  
NOT try to push all the concrete out of all of the hose  
lines at one time.  
NOTICE  
4. For example: If you had 200 ft. of system out, you  
would disconnect each hose. Clean it out by pushing  
water through the first hose connected the pump, then  
continue progressing through all the hoses, until all the  
system is clean.  
Damaged hoses with internal restrictions can cause  
blockages.  
Clearing Shuttle Tube Blockage  
5. If waiting time is excessive, it would be wise to wash  
out the pump and hoses and start over when the new  
truck arrives. This can be avoided by being observant  
to the pump and system, also taking into consideration  
the above actors (A through D) affecting the mix.  
The shuttle tube is plugged if volume at the discharge end  
of the hose stops and the hydraulic oil pressure gauge  
reads 4400 psi or more.  
To clear a plug in the shuttle tube, great care must be taken  
as a dangerous condition will exist from pressure build-up  
inside the shuttle tube.With the shuttle valve, the concrete  
can be pumped in reverse. Use the following procedures  
to clear the shuttle tubes.  
Clearing Concrete Blockage  
NOTICE  
If you repeatedly pull the throttle all the way out and try  
to force your pump to push through blockages due to  
separation of material in the hose or manifold, you will  
soon have breakdowns and costly repairs which are not  
covered under warranty.  
WaRNiNg  
Joint Clamps  
DO NOT open any of the delivery system joint clamps  
during operation.The clamps are under pressure.The  
clamps, if opened during operation could allow high  
pressure material to escape and cause severe bodily  
harm.  
If a blockage occurs, find where it is and clear it before  
further pumping. DO NOT increase the engine speed to  
clear the blockage. Increasing the engine speed will only  
compound the problem.

6. Remove the reducer. From the discharge end, chip  
the concrete out of the shuttle tube with the pry-bar.  
If concrete cannot be loosened from the outlet of the  
shuttle tube, remove the clean-out plug on the bottom  
of the hopper to discharge the concrete.  
Reverse Pumping Procedure  
1. Switch the pump into reverse. With pump speed at a  
medium-slow (approx. 12 strokes per min.) try to pull  
the “pack” back into the hopper with 5 or 6 reverse  
strokes.  
7. Chip the blockage out with the pry-bar.  
8. Flush the shuttle tube with water.  
2. Remix the concrete in the hopper.  
3. Switch the pump into forward.If it is still plugged, repeat  
“Reversing” procedure three times.  
9. Before resuming operation of the pump, perform the  
“Reverse” Pumping Procedure to relieve pressure on  
the shuttle tubes.  
4. If concrete still does not move, proceed to the Shuttle  
Tube Inspection Procedure.  
ShuttleTube inspection procedure  
DANGER  
Accumulator Pressure  
Make sure the accumulator pressure  
gauge reads ZERO psi. prior to  
performing any maintenance or  
inspection.You must follow lock  
out-tag out procedures. Improper  
accumulator pressure can result in  
an explosion causing serious injury  
or death.  
1. Stop the pump. Turn off the engine.  
2. The senior or most experienced operator must warn all  
others to stand at least 20 feet away from the machine  
and turn their heads to face away from the pump.  
3. The operator will position himself beside the reducing  
elbow at the pump outlet. Wearing safety glasses, slip  
the end of a pry bar (24" length of reinforcing steel rod)  
under the latch of the hose clamp and flip it up.  
4. Carefully knock the end of the hose away from the  
reducer.  
5. Chip the concrete out of the reducer with the pry bar.

cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, shuttle tube, valves and  
hopper work in sequence to pump concrete.  
HIGH PRESSURE

OIL FROM PUMP  
PROXIMITY  
SWITCH  
The hydraulic pressure is generated by a variable volume,  
pressure compensated, axial piston pump that is driven by  
a diesel engine. The rod sides of the drive cylinders are  
hydraulically connected together creating a “slave circuit,”  
which allows hydraulic oil to transfer from one piston to  
the other.

The two part cycling sequence is initiated by an electrical  
signal generated by two proximity switches activated by  
the drive cylinder. The proximity switches are normally  
open, magnetically sensing the movement of the main  
drive cylinder.As the drive cylinder piston head passes the  
proximity switch, an electrical signal is sent to the solenoid  
operated pilot valve which in turn directs pilot oil to the four  
valves controlling the drive cylinder and the shuttle cylinder.

SHUTTLE TUBE MOTION  
A one-gallon accumulator assists the movement of the  
shuttle tube. This circuit assures that the shuttle tube will  
throw with the same intensity of each stroke regardless of  
how fast the main drive cylinders are cycling.

Figure 4. Pumping Cycle 2  
In the first cycle (Figure 3), hydraulic pressure is applied  
to cylinder (B), causing the hydraulic piston, which is  
connected to the concrete piston and piston cup, to  
discharge concrete into the delivery line.  
PROXIMITY

HYDRAULIC  
CYLINDERS

OIL  
As one cylinder is discharging concrete, the hydraulic  
oil from the rod side (B) of the drive cylinders is being  
transferred through the slave circuit causing the opposite  
cylinder (A) to move back on the suction stroke, filling the  
cylinder with concrete.

The shuttle tube is sequenced to pivot to each concrete  
cylinder as the drive cylinders stroke to push concrete. As  
the second cycling sequence begins (Figure 4), the shuttle  
tube pivots to the opposite cylinder (A).  
SHUTTLE TUBE  
SHUTTLE TUBE MOTION  
The hydraulic piston passes under the proximity switch  
and sends pressure to the piston, causing it to stroke and  
discharge concrete into the delivery line. Hydraulic oil is  
transferred through the slave circuit to cylinder B, causing  
it to start a suction stroke, refilling it with concrete. The  
pumping sequence then repeats for the duration of the  
operation.

5. Place the direction control switch in the FORWARD  
position.This will start the flow of the slurry to the hoses.  
Hose Lubrication  
Before pumping, it is necessary to lubricate the hose.  
6. Keep the slurry flowing until most of it is pumped out.  
However, make sure that some slurry is left on the  
hopper when concrete is first discharged from the  
ready-mix truck.  
This procedure prevents separation and blockages in the  
hose. Inspect the lines at all times to prevent problems.  
Before concrete is discharged into the hopper, it is  
suggested that 3 to 4 gallons of water be sprayed into the  
hopper, followed by approximately 5 gallons of a creamy  
cement and water slurry (1/2 bag of cement to 5 gallons  
of water).  
Pumping  
WaRNiNg  
Safety glasses and hearing protection  
MUST be worn at all times when  
operating the pump. Failure to follow  
safety guidelines can result in serious  
injury.  
NOTICE  
Getting the concrete to flow through the hose at the start  
of the pumping cycle can be one of the most critical  
operations of the pour.  
NOTICE  
Priming The Pump With Slurry Mixture  
A well-planned location of the pump and routing of the  
hose before starting a pour may save subsequent moves  
throughout the job.  
It is CRiTiCaL to the successful operation of a concrete  
pump that the manifold and all delivery hoses, pipes and  
elbows are coated with a film of lubrication BEFORE you  
attempt to pump concrete.  
1. Place the pumping control switch in the LOCAL  
position (Figure 27) for normal pumping operation.  
Failure to properly prepare the pump and system will result  
in a “dry pack” of concrete, blocking the shuttle valve tube

Cleaning the pump is a very important operation as it  
determines how the machine will pump the next time it is  
used.  
Hydraulic Oil System Maintenance  
NOTICE  
This Mayco pump is equipped with an in-tank return  
hydraulic filter with a 10 micron cleanable filter.The element  
has been designed to remove all particles large enough to  
cause wear and job break down. Under normal conditions,  
we recommend replacement every 6 months.  
NeveR use muriatic acid to clean the pump. Acid will  
dissolve the chrome finish on material cylinder bore and  
main hydraulic cylinder rods.  
At the end of every pour, or because of long delays during  
a pour, the pump and delivery system must be thoroughly  
cleaned by removing all concrete material.  
The most important factor to keep in mind is the effect of  
cold weather on the hydraulic oil.The viscosity (thickness)  
of the hydraulic oil will be much heavier.  
1. Following the clearing concrete blockage operating  
procedure, ensure that there is no blockage in the  
hose and line or in the shuttle tube. If a blockage  
exists, clear it.  
ALWAYS run machine until oil temperature reaches a  
minimum of 50°F. before pumping. Damage to the main  
piston pump will occur if the machine is cycled too fast  
before the oil temperature reaches the minimum of  
50°F. Cycle the machine at 6-8 strokes per minute at  
approximately 1/3 throttle.  
2. Pump concrete until the opening of the concrete  
cylinder intake in the hopper is visible.  
3. Stop the pump.  
In areas where the weather normally remains under 50°F.,  
use Shell OilTellus 46 (or the equivalent).The above steps  
must be followed or severe damage to the main axial piston  
pump can occur.  
4. Carefully disconnect the first hose joint at the shuttle  
tube discharge elbow.  
5. Add water to the hopper. Pump and flush clean the  
entire hopper, shuttle tube and discharge elbow with  
water.  
1. When changing the hydraulic oil or topping off the  
reservoir (capacity 50 gal/189 liters), use only the  
following type hydraulic oil:  
6. Scoop out 12 inches of concrete from the inboard end  
of the delivery hose.Cork screw” a 6" x 6" x 8" sponge  
into the end of the first hose section. Reconnect the  
hose to the discharge elbow.  
Shell Oil Tellius 68  
Mobil DFE 26  
Texaco Rand HDC  
7. Fill hopper with water. Pump until sponge and clean  
water come out the discharge end of the hose and  
line system.  
NOTICE  
DO NOT mix oil brands! This may impair quality.  
8. When the pump has been used to pump aggregate  
concrete or mixes with high fines content (60% or more  
sand) there will be a tendency for hardened concrete  
to build up on the inside surface of the shuttle tube.  
Therefore, at the end of every such pour, after the pump  
and system have been cleaned and the engine shut  
off, remove all remaining concrete.  
2. The following components should be greased daily,  
hourly if necessary:  
Main Hydraulic Cylinders (2 grease fittings)  
Swing Axle Bushing (1 grease fitting)  
Shuttle Cylinder (2 grease fittings top and bottom)  
Discharge Nipple (3 grease fittings)  
9. Use only a 2½" diameter clean-out hook when back-  
pumping into redi-mix truck. Use a safety chain to  
secure the clean-out hook to some solid part of the  
mixer truck to prevent hook from jumping off of the  
drum.Run the pump at 6 strokes per minute maximum  
speed.

1. Start the engine and stroke the pump.The accumulator  
pressure gauge (Figure 30) should read 1750 PSI.  
Accumulator Circuit  
DANGER  
2. To determine the actual accumulator PSI, stop the  
engine and observe the pressure gauge. As the PSI  
reading slowly decreases, it will reach a point where  
there will be a sudden drop in the PSI.The PSI reading  
should be taken just prior to this sudden drop. If you  
do not read 1100 PSI, the accumulator may require  
charging or bladder replacement.  
Improper accumulator charging  
can result in an explosion causing  
serious injury or death! Never  
use oxygen or compressed air  
to charge the accumulator! Only  
qualified personal should perform  
this procedure. Use only dry nitrogen to charge the  
accumulator. Contact your Mayco service department  
or your local Hydac representative for proper charging  
procedure  
Wear Plate and Cutting Ring  
Due to the abrasive nature of concrete, it is normal for the  
cutting ring to wear on its sides as it shears through the  
concrete inside the hopper.The metal-to-metal friction and  
the abrasiveness of the concrete will cause extreme wear  
and reduce sealing capability between the cutting ring and  
wear plate.  
The accumulator circuit has two functions in the hydraulic  
system.  
The accumulator circuit furnishes the hydraulic pressure  
to cycle the shuttle tube.  
If the two components do not properly seat against each  
other, slurry will pump into the hopper rather than out the  
discharge line. See Figure 56. This condition can easily  
be observed.  
The accumulator circuit also furnishes the pilot pressure  
necessary to activate the hydraulic system.  
The accumulator circuit is equipped with a bladder type  
accumulator (Figure 55) charged with 1100 PSI of dry  
nitrogen. The accumulator stores one gallon of hydraulic  
oil, which is, under 1750 PSI of pressure.  
1. The sudden change of the level of concrete inside the  
hopper during each pumping stroke  
2. Concrete slurry squirting into the air from the hopper  
(Volcano effect)  
3. When the output volume at the end of the delivery line  
decreases in pressure  
4. Unusual frequent material packs in the Shuttle tube  
It is important that the wear components be inspected  
weekly for proper sealing. Failure to inspect will eventually  
cause severe damage to the nun-plate and material  
cylinders. Visually inspect wear plate and cutting ring to  
ensure surfaces are sealed against each other.  
Figure 55. Accumulator  
When the pump cycles, a part of the stored oil is released  
to the shuttle cylinder. This released oil pressure assures  
the shuttle tube has enough force to shear the cylinder of  
concrete passing from the concrete cylinder to the concrete  
delivery line during the cycle phase.  
If a deep groove or a wide space has developed on the  
sealing surfaces, it is time for replacement. Due to the  
motion of the shuttle tube, the cutting ring experiences  
a quicker rate of wear as opposed to the wear plate. The  
wear ring typically requires replacement two times per wear  
plate (2 to 1). When replacing the wear ring, also replace  
the rubber energizer ring.  
Checking Accumulator Bladder Pressure  
The normal accumulator charge pressure should be  
approximately 1100 PSI. To check the accumulator  
pressure:

Changing the Concrete Cylinder Piston Cups  
The urethane piston cups will occasionally require  
replacement depending on the following factors.  
The fluid level and cleanliness of the lubrication box.  
The size and type of aggregate.  
Cylinder Cup Replacement Procedure  
The type of concrete being pumped.  
1. Remove the two hydraulic hoses connected to the  
remix motor. Plug the ports with fittings (not provided)  
to prevent hydraulic hose leakage.  
It is time to replace the cups when increasingly large  
particles of sand and cement pass into the lubrication box.  
DO NOT allow the cups to become so worn that they begin  
to pass lubrication into the material cylinders.  
2. Remove the hopper discharge nipple and loosen sleeve  
seal. Inspect and replace if wear is excessive.  
If the liquid level of the lubrication box becomes to low, the  
rubber cups will severely deform due to excessive heat.  
Whenever replacement is due, both cylinder cups should  
be replaced.  
3. Remove the two tie rod nuts and the four eyebolt nuts  
securing the hopper to the pump frame.  
4. Using an approved lifting device, remove the hopper  
using extreme care not to damage the hopper seal.  
5. Start the engine and turn on the pressure test switch.  
Cycle pump in reverse until hydraulic system obtains  
maximum pressure, then turn pump and engine  
off.  
6. Remove ignition key and disconnect battery. Think  
safety! Check the hydraulic gauges on panel and make  
sure accumulator pressure reads zero. One piston  
should be in the fully discharged position at the end  
of the concrete cylinder.

tube to the nun-plate and remove shuttle tube.  
6. Using two small pry bars remove the rubber energizer  
ring, steel insert ring and wear ring.  
NOTICE  
Felt ring must be saturated with 30 wt. oil prior to  
installation.  
NOTICE  
The energizer ring and wear ring will normally have  
concrete contamination holding them in position. It will  
be required to chip some of the concrete loose to better  
expose the energizer ring.  
11. Install the felt holder over the oiler plate. Install felt ring  
into felt holder. Install the bronze ring.  
12. Using silicon sealant place a small bead of sealant  
material on the front of the rubber piston cup and the  
rear of the face plate. Install over alignment studs and  
into concrete cylinders.  
7. Clean out all concrete build up in and around the nun-  
plate area with a wire brush.  
8. Inspect the wear components for indications of wear.  
The wear plate has two wear surfaces.  
13. Insert one 3/8” 16x3” bolt into the open bolt hole,  
remove the alignment studs one at a time and install  
the remaining 3/8” 16x3” bolts.

2. Using silicon sealant, coat the circumference of the  
concrete cylinders, the back of the wear plate and  
around the five bolt holes. Next, install the wear plate  
and the five bolts.The bolts must all be equally snugged  
and tightened to 100 foot pounds each.  
Before installing 3/8” bolts, coat the back of bolt heads  
with silicon sealant. Torque all three bolts equal at 55 ft.  
lbs. each.  
Wear Plate And Cutting Ring Replacement  
Wear Ring installation  
Due to the swinging motion of the nun-plate and the  
abrasive nature of concrete, it is normal for the cutting  
ring to wear on the side that shears through the concrete  
inside the hopper.  
1. Install the wear ring into the nun plate.  
2. Install the steel insert ring inside of the rubber energizer  
ring.  
If the wear ring and wear plate do not fully seat against each  
other the concrete slurry will pump into the hopper. This  
condition can be easily observed by the sudden change of  
the level of concrete inside the hopper during each stroke.  
3. Install the energizer ring assembly into the nun plate.  
4. After installing the above mentioned components  
the machine can be reassembled by reversing steps  
1 through 5 of the Wear Plate and Cutting Ring

The following trailer maintenance guidelines are intended  
to assist the operator in preventive maintenance.  
7. Repeat the above procedure on all brakes.  
8. Lower the trailer to the ground.  
TRaiLeR BRaKeS  
Check the fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir at least  
every three months. If you tow your trailer an average of  
1,000 miles per month in a hot and dry environment, you  
must check the brake fluid level once a month. The brake  
fluid reservoir is located on the tongue of the trailer.Always  
fill with clean, uncontaminated DOT 4 brake fluid.  
Properly functioning brake shoes and drums are essential  
to ensure safety. The brakes should be inspected the first  
200 miles of operation.This will allow the brake shoes and  
drums to seat properly. After the first 200 mile interval,  
inspect the brakes every 3,000 miles. If driving over rough  
terrain, inspect the brakes more frequently.  
Figure 60 below displays the major hydraulic brake  
components that will require inspection and maintenance.  
Please inspect these components as required using steps  
1 through 6 as referenced in the “Manually Adjusting The  
Brakes” section on this page. See Table 8 for Hydraulic  
Brake Troubleshooting.  
HYDRaULiC BRaKeS  
If your trailer has hydraulic brakes, they function the same  
way the surge brakes do on your tow vehicle.The hydraulic  
braking system must be inspected at least as often as the  
brakes on the tow vehicle, but no less than once per year.  
This inspection includes an assessment of the condition  
and proper operation of the wheel cylinders, brake shoes,  
brake drums and hubs.  
MaNUaLLY aDJUSTiNgTHe BRaKeS  
Most axles are fitted with a brake mechanism that will adjust  
the brakes during a hard stop. However, some braking  
systems are not automatically adjusted by hard stopping.  
These brakes require manual adjustment. The following  
steps apply to adjust most manually adjustable brakes.  
1. Jack up the trailer and secure it on adequate capacity  
jackstands.  
Figure 60. Hydraulic Brake Components  
2. Be sure the wheel and brake drum rotate freely.  
HYDRaULiC BRaKe aCTUaTOR  
3. Remove the adjusting-hole cover from the adjusting  
slot on the bottom of the brake backing plate.  
The hydraulic brake actuator (Figure 61) is the mechanism  
that activates the trailer’s brake system. This actuator  
changes fluid power into mechanical power.Therefore, the  
fluid level must be checked frequently to assure that the  
brakes function properly.  
4. With a screwdriver or standard adjusting tool, rotate the  
starwheel of the adjuster assembly to expand the brake  
shoes. Adjust the brake shoes out until the pressure  
of the linings against the drum makes the wheel very  
difficult to turn. Note:Your trailer maybe equipped with  
drop spindle axles.See axle manual for your axle type.  
You will need a modified adjusting tool for adjusting  
the brakes in these axles. With drop spindle axles, a  
modified adjusting tool with about an 80 degree angle  
should be used.

tRAILER GuIDELInES  
The following guidelines are intended to assist the operator  
in the operation and handling of a trailer.  
Shift your automatic transmission into a lower gear for  
city driving.  
Safety precautions should be followed at all times when  
operating a trailer. Failure to read, understand and follow  
the safety guidelines could result in injury to yourself and  
others.Loss of control of the trailer or tow vehicle can result  
in death or serious injury.  
ALWAYS use lower gears for climbing and descending  
grades.  
DO NOT ride the brakes while descending grades, they  
may get so hot that they stop working. Then you will  
potentially have a runaway tow vehicle and trailer.  
COMMON CaUSeS fOR LOSS OfTRaiLeR  
To conserve fuel, don’t use full throttle to climb a hill.  
Instead, build speed on the approach.  
Driving too fast for the conditions (maximum speed when  
towing a trailer is 55 mph).  
Slow down for bumps in the road. Take your foot off the  
brake when crossing the bump.  
Overloading the trailer or loading the trailer unevenly.  
Trailer improperly coupled to the hitch.  
No braking on trailer.  
DO NOT brake while in a curve unless absolutely  
necessary. Instead, slow down before you enter the  
curve and power through the curve.This way, the towing  
vehicle remains in charge.  
Not maintaining proper tire pressure.  
Not keeping lug nuts tight.  
DO NOT apply the brakes to correct extreme trailer  
swaying. Continued pulling of the trailer, and even slight  
acceleration, will provide a stabilizing force.  
Not properly maintaining the trailer structure.  
Ensure machine is towed level to tow vehicle.  
TRaiLeRTOWiNg gUiDeLiNeS  
Anticipate the trailer “swaying.” Swaying is the trailer  
reaction to the air pressure wave caused by passing  
trucks and buses.Continued pulling of the trailer provides  
a stabilizing force to correct swaying. DO NOT apply the  
brakes to correct trailer swaying.  
Recheck the load tiedowns to make sure the load will  
not shift during towing.  
Use lower gear when driving down steep or long grades.  
Use the engine and transmission as a brake. Do not  
ride the brakes, as they can overheat and become  
ineffective.  
Before towing, check coupling, safety chain, safety  
brake, tires, wheels and lights.  
Check the lug nuts or bolts for tightness.  
Check coupler tightness after towing 50 miles.  
Be aware of your trailer height, especially when  
approaching roofed areas and around trees.  
Use your mirrors to verify that you have room to change  
lanes or pull into traffic.  
Make regular stops, about once each hour. Confirm  
that:  
Use your turn signals well in advance. Allow plenty of  
stopping space for your trailer and tow vehicle.  
Coupler is secure to the hitch and is locked.  
Electrical connectors are secure.  
Allow plenty of stopping space for your trailer and tow  
vehicle.  
There is appropriate slack in the safety chains.  
DO NOT drive so fast that the trailer begins to sway  
due to speed.  
There is appropriate slack in the breakaway switch  
pullpin cable.  
Allow plenty of room for passing. A rule of thumb is that  
the passing distance with a trailer is 4 times the passing  
distance without the trailer.  
Tires are not visibly low on pressure.

for the use of your trailer. Again, be sure your hitch and tow  
vehicle are rated for the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of  
your trailer.  
DRiviNg CONDiTiONS  
When towing a trailer, you will have decreased acceleration,  
increased stopping distance, and increased turning radius  
(which means you must make wider turns to keep from  
hitting curbs, vehicles, and anything else that is on the  
inside corner). In addition, you will need a longer distance  
to pass, due to slower acceleration and increased length.  
WaRNiNg  
Proper selection and condition of the coupler and hitch  
are essential to safely towing your trailer. A loss of  
coupling may result in death or serious injury.  
Be alert for slippery conditions.You are more likely to be  
affected by slippery road surfaces when driving a tow  
vehicle with a trailer, than driving a tow vehicle without  
a trailer.  
Be sure the hitch load rating is equal to or greater  
than the load rating of the coupler.  
Be sure the hitch size matches the coupler size.  
Observe the hitch for wear, corrosion and cracks  
before coupling. Replace worn, corroded or cracked  
hitch components before coupling the trailer to the  
tow vehicle.  
Check rearview mirrors frequently to observe the trailer  
and traffic.  
NeveR drive faster than what is safe.  
Be sure the hitch components are tight before  
coupling the trailer to the tow vehicle.  
WaRNiNg  
Driving too fast for severe road conditions can result in  
loss of control and cause death or serious injury.  
WaRNiNg  
An improperly coupled trailer can result in death or  
serious injury.  
Decrease your speed as road, weather, and lighting  
conditions deteriorate.  
DO NOT move the trailer until:  
Always check for local trailer tow speed limits in your  
area.  
The coupler is secured and locked to hitch.  
The safety chains are secured to the tow vehicle.  
The trailer jack(s) are fully retracted.  
WaRNiNg  
Do not transport people on the trailer.The transport of  
people puts their lives at risk and may be illegal.  
DO NOT tow the trailer on the road until:  
Tires and wheels are checked.  
The trailer brakes are checked.  
COUpLiNgTOTHeTOWveHiCLe  
The breakaway switch is connected to the tow  
vehicle.  
Follow all of the safety precautions and instructions in  
this manual to ensure safety of persons, equipment, and  
satisfactory life of the trailer. Always use an adequate tow  
vehicle and hitch. If the vehicle or hitch is not properly  
selected and matched to the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating  
(GVWR) of your trailer, you can cause an accident that  
could lead to death or serious injury.  
The load is secured to the trailer.  
The trailer lights are connected and checked.  
WaRNiNg  
Use of a hitch with a load rating less than the load rating  
of the trailer can result in loss of control and may lead  
to death or serious injury.  
If you already have a tow vehicle, know your vehicle tow  
rating and make certain the trailer’s rated capacity is less  
than or equal to the tow vehicle’s rated towing capacity. If  
you already have (or plan to buy) a trailer, make certain  
that the tow rating of the tow vehicle is equal to or greater  
than that of the trailer.  
Use of a tow vehicle with a towing capacity less than  
the load rating of the trailer can result in loss of control,  
and may lead to death or serious injury.  
Be sure your hitch and tow vehicle are rated for the  
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of your trailer.

Drive slowly at first, 5 mph or so, and turn the wheel to  
get the feel of how the tow vehicle and trailer combination  
responds. Next, make some right and left hand turns.  
Watch in your side mirrors to see how the trailer follows  
the tow vehicle. Turning with a trailer attached requires  
more room.  
iNOpeRaBLe BRaKeS, LigHTS OR MiRRORS  
Be sure that the brakes and all of the lights on your trailer  
are functioning properly before towing your trailer. Check  
the trailer taillights by turning on your tow vehicle headlights.  
Check the trailer brake lights by having someone step on  
the tow vehicle brake pedal while you look at trailer lights.  
Do the same thing to check the turn signal lights.SeeTrailer  
Wiring Diagram section in this manual.  
Stop the rig a few times from speeds no greater than  
10 mph. If your trailer is equipped with brakes, try using  
different combinations of trailer brake and tow vehicle brake.  
Note the effect that the trailer brakes have when they are  
the only brakes used. When properly adjusted, the trailer  
brakes will come on just before the tow vehicle brakes.  
Standard mirrors usually do not provide adequate visibility  
for viewing traffic to the sides and rear of a towed trailer.  
You must provide mirrors that allow you to safely observe  
approaching traffic.  
It will take practice to learn how to back up a tow vehicle  
with a trailer attached.Take it slow. Before backing up, get  
out of the tow vehicle and look behind the trailer to make  
sure that there are no obstacles.  
WaRNiNg  
Improper electrical connection between the tow vehicle  
and the trailer will result in inoperable lights and can  
lead to collision.  
Some drivers place their hands at the bottom of the steering  
wheel, and while the tow vehicle is in reverse, “think” of the  
hands as being on the top of the wheel. When the hands  
move to the right (counterclockwise, as you would do to  
turn the tow vehicle to the left when moving forward), the  
rear of the trailer moves to the right. Conversely, rotating  
the steering wheel clockwise with your hands at the bottom  
of the wheel will move the rear of the trailer to the left while  
backing up.  
Before each tow, check that the tail lights, brake lights  
and turn signals work.  
TRaiLeRTOWiNgTipS  
Driving a vehicle with a trailer in tow is vastly different  
from driving the same vehicle without a trailer in tow.  
Acceleration, maneuverability and braking are all diminished  
with a trailer in tow.  
If you are towing a bumper hitch rig, be careful not to allow  
the trailer to turn too much because it will hit the rear of the  
tow vehicle.To straighten the rig, either pull forward or turn  
the steering wheel in the opposite direction.  
It takes longer to get up to speed, you need more room to  
turn and pass, and more distance to stop when towing a  
trailer.You will need to spend time adjusting to the different  
feel and maneuverability of the tow vehicle with a loaded  
trailer.  
TRaiLeRviNTag  
Because of the significant differences in all aspects of  
maneuverability when towing a trailer, the hazards and risks  
of injury are also much greater than when driving without  
a trailer.You are responsible for keeping your vehicle and  
trailer in control, and for all the damage that is caused if  
you lose control of your vehicle and trailer.  
Figure A below is a sample of the Vehicle Identification  
Number (VIN)Tag which is typically located on the left front  
of the trailer. See Figure B for location.  
As you did when learning to drive an automobile, find  
an open area with little or no traffic for your first practice  
trailering.Of course, before you start towing the trailer, you  
must follow all of the instructions for inspection, testing,  
loading and coupling. Also, before you start towing, adjust  
the mirrors so you can see the trailer as well as the area  
to the rear of it.

To determine the “empty” or “net” weight of your trailer,  
weigh it on an axle scale. To nd the weight of the trailer  
using an axle scale, you must know the axle weights of  
your tow vehicle without the trailer coupled. Some of the  
trailer weight will be transferred from the trailer to the tow  
vehicle axles, and an axle scale weighs all axles, including  
the tow vehicle axles.

VIN TAG  
TOWveHiCLe  
The towing hitch attached to your tow vehicle must have a  
capacity equal to or greater than the load rating of the trailer  
you intend to tow.The hitch capacity must also be matched  
to the tow vehicle capacity.Your vehicle dealer can provide  
and install the proper hitch on your tow vehicle.  
Figure B. VIN Tag Location  
The trailer VIN Tag contains the following critical safety  
information for the use of your trailer.  
SUSpeNSiON SYSTeM  
Sway bars, shock absorbers, heavy duty springs, heavy  
duty tires and other suspension components may be  
required to sufficiently tow the trailer and pump.  
GAWR:The maximum gross weight that an axle cansupport.  
It is the lowest of axle, wheel, or tire rating.  
Usually, the tire or wheel rating is lower than the axle rating,  
and determines GAWR.  
BRaKe CONTROLLeR  
gvWR: The maximum allowable gross weight of the trailer  
and its contents. The gross weight of the trailer includes  
the weight of the trailer and all of the items within it. GVWR  
is sometimes referred to as GTWR (Gross Trailer Weight  
Rating), or MGTW (Maximum GrossTrailerWeight).GVWR,  
GTWR and MGTW are all the same rating.  
For trailers equipped with electric brakes, the electric brake  
controller is part of the tow vehicle and is essential in the  
operation of the electric brakes on the trailer. The brake  
controller is not the same as the safety breakaway brake  
system that may be equipped on the trailer.  
SiDevieW MiRRORS  
The sum total of the GAWR for all trailer axles may be less  
than the GVWR for the trailer, because some of the trailer  
load is to be carried by the tow vehicle, rather than by the  
trailer axle(s).The total weight of the cargo and trailer must  
not exceed the GVWR, and the load on an axle must not  
exceed its GAWR.  
The size of the trailer that is being towed and your state  
law regulations determine the size of the mirrors.However,  
some states prohibit extended mirrors on a tow vehicle,  
except while a trailer is actually being towed. In this  
situation, detachable extended mirrors are necessary.  
Check with your dealer or the appropriate state agency  
for mirror requirements.  
pSiC: The tire pressure (psi) measured when cold.  
viN: The Vehicle Identification Number.  
HeavY DUTY fLaSHeR  
eMpTY WeigHT: Some information that comes with the  
trailer (such as the Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin)  
is not a reliable source for “empty” or “net” weight. The  
shipping documents list average or standard weights and  
your trailer may be equipped with options.  
A Heavy Duty Flasher is an electrical component that may  
be required when your trailer turn signal lights are attached  
to the tow vehicle flasher circuit.  
eLeCTRiCaL CONNeCTOR  
An Electrical Connector connects the light and brake  
systems on the trailer to the light and brake controls on  
the towing vehicle.

eMeRgeNCY fLaReS aNDTRiaNgLe RefLeCTORS  
BaLL HiTCH COUpLeR  
It is wise to carry these warning devices even if you are  
not towing a trailer.It is particularly important to have these  
when towing a trailer because the hazard flashers of your  
towing vehicle will not operate for as long a period of time  
when the battery is running both the trailer lights and tow  
vehicle lights.  
A ball hitch coupler (Figure C) connects to a ball that is  
located on or under the rear bumper of tow vehicle. This  
system of coupling a trailer to a tow vehicle is sometimes  
referred to as “bumper pull.”  
A ball hitch trailer may be fitted with a tongue jack that can  
raise and lower the coupler.The tongue jack is mounted to  
the A-frame (front or tongue) part of the trailer. By rotating  
the jack handle clockwise, the jack will extend and raise  
the tongue of the trailer.  
SafeTY CHaiNS  
If the coupler connection comes loose, the safety chains  
can keep the trailer attached to the tow vehicle. With  
properly rigged safety chains, it is possible to keep the  
tongue of the trailer from digging into the road pavement,  
even if the coupler-to-hitch connection comes apart.  
TRaiLeR LigHTiNg aND BRaKiNg CONNeCTOR  
A device that connects electrical power from the tow vehicle  
to the trailer. Electricity is used to turn on brake lights,  
running lights, and turn signals as required. In addition, if  
your trailer has a separate braking system, the electrical  
connector will also supply power to the brakes from the  
tow vehicle.  
Figure C. Ball Hitch Coupler  
Before each tow, coat the ball with a thin layer of automotive  
bearing grease to reduce wear and ensure proper operation.  
Check the locking device that secures the coupler to the  
ball for proper operation.  
BReaKaWaY SYSTeM  
If the trailer coupler connection comes loose, the breakaway  
system can actuate emergency hydraulic brakes depending  
on the type of actuator on the trailer.The breakaway cable  
must be rigged to the tow vehicle with appropriate slack  
that will activate the system if the coupler connection  
comes loose.  
If you see or feel evidence of wear, such as flat spots,  
deformations, pitting or corrosion, on the ball or coupler,  
immediately have your dealer inspect them to determine  
the proper action to prevent possible failure of the ball and  
coupler system. All bent or broken coupler parts must be  
replaced before towing the trailer.  
JaCKSTaND  
A device on the trailer that is used to raise and lower the  
coupler.The jack is sometimes called the “landing gear” or  
the “tongue jack”.  
The coupler handle lever must be able to rotate freely and  
automatically snap into the latched position. Oil the pivot  
points, sliding surfaces, and spring ends with SAE 30W  
motor oil.Keep the ball socket and latch mechanism clean.  
Dirt or contamination can prevent proper operation of the  
latching mechanism.  
COUPLER TYPES  
Two types of coupler used wit the trailer are discussed  
below.  
The load rating of the coupler and the necessary ball size  
are listed on the trailer tongue.You must provide a hitch and  
ball for your tow vehicle where the load rating of the hitch  
and ball is equal to or greater than that of your trailer.

THE TOW VEHICLE, HITCH AND BALL MUST HAVE A  
RATED TOWING CAPACITY EQUAL TO OR GREATER  
THAN THE TRAILER gross vehicle Weight Rating  
(gvWR). IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE HITCH BALL BE  
OF THE SAME SIZE AS THE COUPLER.  
Coupling theTrailer to theTowvehicle (Ball Coupler)  
Lubricate the hitch ball and the inside of the coupler with  
a thin layer of automotive bearing grease.  
Slowly back up the tow vehicle so that the hitch ball is  
near or aligned under the coupler.  
The ball size and load rating (capacity) are marked on the  
ball. Hitch capacity is marked on the hitch.  
Using the jackstand at the front of trailer (tongue), turn  
the jackstand crank handle to raise the trailer. If the ball  
coupler does not line up with the hitch ball, adjust the  
position of the tow vehicle.  
WaRNiNg  
Coupler-to-hitch mismatch can result in uncoupling,  
leading to death or serious injury.  
Open the coupler locking mechanism.Ball couplers have  
a locking mechanism with an internal moving piece and  
an outside handle. In the open position, the coupler is  
able to drop fully onto the hitch ball.  
Be sure the LOAD RATING of the hitch ball is equal or  
greater than the load rating of the coupler.  
Be sure the SIZE of the hitch ball matches the size of  
the ball coupler.

Insert a pin or lock through the hole in the locking  
mechanism.  
Rock the ball to make sure it is tightened to the hitch,  
and visually check that the hitch ball nut is solid against  
the lock washer and hitch frame.  
Be sure the coupler is all the way on the hitch ball and  
the locking mechanism is engaged. A properly engaged  
locking mechanism will allow the coupler to raise the rear  
of the tow vehicle. Using the trailer jackstand, verify that  
you can raise the rear of the tow vehicle by 1 inch after  
the coupler is locked to the hitch.  
Wipe the inside and outside of the coupler. Clean and  
visually inspect it for cracks and deformations. Feel the  
inside of the coupler for worn spots and pits.  
Be sure the coupler is secured tightly to the tongue of the  
trailer. All coupler fasteners must be visibly solid against  
the trailer frame.  
Lower the trailer so that its entire tongue weight is held  
by the hitch.  
Raise the jackstand to a height where it will not interfere  
with the road.

Breakaway Brake System  
NOTICE  
If the coupler or hitch fails, a properly connected and  
working breakaway brake system (Figure F) will apply the  
hydraulic brakes on the trailer. The safety chains will keep  
the tow vehicle attached and as the brakes are applied at  
the trailer’s axles, the trailer/tow vehicle combination will  
come to a controlled stop.  
Overloading can damage the tongue jack. DO NOT  
use the tongue jack to raise the tow vehicle more than  
one inch.  
If the coupler cannot be secured to the hitch ball, do not  
tow the trailer. Call your dealer for assistance. Lower the  
trailer so that its entire tongue weight is held by the hitch and  
continue retracting the jack to its fully retracted position.

Connect the trailer lights to the tow vehicle’s electrical  
system using the electric connectors at the front of the  
trailer (tongue). Refer to the wiring diagram shown in the  
trailer wiring diagram section of this manual.Before towing  
the trailer check for the following:  
A pintle eye coupler (Figure G) connects to a pintle-hook  
hitch that is located on or under the rear bumper of the tow  
vehicle.This system of coupling a trailer to a tow vehicle is  
sometimes referred to as a “lunette eye, tow ring or G.I.  
hitch.”  
Running lights (turn on tow vehicle headlights).  
Brake Lights (step on tow vehicle brake pedal).  
Backup Lights (place tow vehicle gear shift in reverse).  
Turn Signals (activate tow vehicle directional signal  
lever).  
WaRNiNg  
Improper electrical connection between the tow vehicle  
and the trailer will result in inoperable lights and electric  
brakes, and can lead to collision.  
Figure G. Pintle Hitch Coupler  
A pintle hitch trailer may be fitted with a tongue jackstand  
that can raise and lower the coupler. The tongue jack is  
mounted to the A-frame (front or tongue) part of the trailer.  
By rotating the jack handle clockwise, the jack will extend  
and raise the tongue of the trailer.  
Before each tow:  
Check that the taillights, brake lights and turn signals  
work.  
Check that the electric brakes work by operating the  
brake controller inside the tow vehicle.  
The load rating of the coupler and the necessary pintle  
hitch size are listed on the trailer tongue.You must provide  
a pintle hitch and pintle coupler for your tow vehicle, where  
the load rating of the pintle hitch and pintle coupler is equal  
to or greater than that of your trailer.  
Uncoupling the Ball Hitch  
Follow these steps to uncouple ball hitch from tow  
vehicle:  
Also, the pintle hitch size must be the same as the pintle  
coupler size. If the hitch is too small, too large, underrated,  
loose or worn, the trailer can come loose from the tow  
vehicle, and may cause death or serious injury.  
Block trailer tires to prevent the trailer from rolling, before  
jacking the trailer up.  
Disconnect the electrical connector.  
Pintle Coupler and Pintle Hook  
Disconnect the breakaway brake switch cable. Promptly  
replace the pullpin in the switchbox.  
Before each tow, check the locking device that secures the  
coupler to the pintle hook assembly.  
Before extending jackstand, make certain the ground  
surface below the jackstand foot will support the tongue  
load.  
The pintle hook lever must be able to operate freely and  
automatically snap into place into the latched position.  
Lightly oil the pivot points and sliding surfaces with SAE30W  
motor oil to prevent rust and help ensure proper operation  
of the latching mechanism.  
Rotate the jackstand handle (or crank) clockwise. This  
will slowly extend the jack and transfer the weight of the

Lug nuts are also prone to loosen after first being  
assembled. When driving a new trailer (or after wheels  
have been remounted), check to make sure they are tight  
after the first 10, 25 and 50 miles of driving and before  
each tow thereafter.  
TiRe SafeTY  
UnsafeTires, Lug Nuts orWheels  
Trailer tires and wheels are more likely to fail than car tires  
and wheels because they carry a heavier load. Therefore,  
it is essential to inspect the trailer tires before each tow.  
Failure to perform this check can result in a wheel parting  
from the trailer and a crash, leading to death or serious  
injury.  
If a tire has a bald spot, bulge, cuts, is showing any cords,  
or is cracked, replace the tire before towing. If a tire has  
uneven tread wear, take the trailer to a dealer service  
center for diagnosis.  
WaRNiNg  
Lug nuts are prone to loosen after initial installation,  
which can lead to death or serious injury.  
Uneven tread wear can be caused by tire imbalance, axle  
misalignment or incorrect inflation.  
Check lug nuts for tightness on a new trailer or when  
wheel(s) have been remounted after the first 10, 25  
and 50 miles of driving.  
Tires with too little tread will not provide adequate tracking  
on wet roadways and can result in loss of control, leading  
to death or serious injury.  
WaRNiNg  
Improper tire pressure causes an unstable trailer and  
can result in a tire blowout and loss of control. Therefore,  
before each tow you must also check the tire pressure.Tire  
pressure must be checked when tires are cold.  
Improper lug nut torque can cause a wheel parting from  
the trailer, leading to death or serious injury.  
Be sure lug nuts are tight before each tow.  
Allow 3 hours cool-down after driving as much as 1 mile at  
40 mph before checking tire pressure. Trailer tires will be  
inflated to higher pressures than passenger vehicle tires.  
WaRNiNg  
Improper tire pressure can result in a blowout and loss  
of control, which can lead to death or serious injury.  
Since trailer wheels and lug nuts (or bolts) are subjected  
to greater side loads than automobile wheels, they are  
more prone to loosen. Before each tow, check to make  
sure they are tight.  
Be sure tires are inflated to pressure indicated on side  
wall before towing trailer.  
The proper tightness (torque) for lug nuts is listed in the  
lug nut tightening section of this manual. Use a torque  
wrench to tighten the lug nuts. If you do not have a torque  
wrench, use a lug wrench (from your tow vehicle) and  
tighten the nuts as much as you can. Then have a service  
garage or trailer dealer tighten the lug nuts to the proper  
torque.  
Determining Load Limit ofTrailer  
Determining the load limits of a trailer includes more than  
understanding the load limits of the tires alone. On all  
trailers there is a Federal certification/VIN label that is  
located on the forward half of the left (road) side of the unit.  
This certification/VIN label will indicate the trailer’s Gross  
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). This is the most weight  
the fully loaded trailer can weigh. It will also provide the  
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). This is the most a the  
axle can weigh.  
WaRNiNg  
Metal creep between the wheel rim and lug nuts will  
cause rim to loosen and could result in a wheel coming  
off, leading to death or serious injury.  
Tighten lug nuts before each tow.

Determining Load Limit ofTowvehicle  
Step 1.  
Locate the statement, “The combined weight of occupants  
and cargo should never exceed XXX lbs.,” on your vehicle’s  
placard.  
TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION  
Step 2.  
The weight of cargo should never exceed XXX kg. Or XXX lbs.

Step 3.  
Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers  
from XXX kilograms or XXX pounds.  
Figure I. Trailer Tire Placard  
If additional work items (hoses, tools, clamps etc.) are  
going to be added to the trailer, be sure they are distributed  
evenly to prevent overloading front to back and side to side.  
Heavy items should be placed low and as close to the axle  
positions as reasonable.Too many items on one side may  
overload a tire.  
Step 4.  
The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo  
and luggage capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount  
equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers  
in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage  
capacity is 650 lbs. (1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.).  
Excessive loads and/or underinflation cause tire overloading  
and, as a result, abnormal tire flexing occurs.This situation  
can generate an excessive amount of heat within the tire.  
Excessive heat may lead to tire failure.It is the air pressure  
that enables a tire to support the load, so proper inflation  
is critical. The proper air pressure may be found on the  
certification/VIN label and/or on the Tire and Loading  
Information placard. This value should never exceed the  
maximum cold inflation pressure stamped on the tire.  
Step 5.  
Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo  
being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely  
exceed the available cargo and luggage capacity calculated  
in Step 4.  
If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer  
will be transferred to your vehicle.Consult the tow vehicle’s  
manual to determine how this weight transfer reduces the  
available cargo and luggage capacity of your vehicle.  
Perform the following steps to determine the load limit of  
your trailer.  
Studies of tire safety show that maintaining proper tire  
pressure, observing tire and vehicle load limits (not carrying  
more weight in your vehicle than your tires or vehicle can  
safely handle), avoiding road hazards and inspecting tires  
for cuts, slashes and other irregularities are the most  
important things you can do to avoid tire failure, such as  
tread separation or blowout and flat tires. These actions,  
along with other care and maintenance activities, can  
also:  
Step 1.  
Locate the statement, “The weight of cargo should never  
exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.,” on your vehicle’s Tire and  
Loading Information placard (Figure I). This value equals  
the available amount of equipment load capacity.  
Step 2.  
Determine the weight of the equipment being loaded  
on the tow vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed  
the available equipment load capacity. The trailer’s Tire  
Information Placard is attached adjacent to or near the  
trailer’sVIN (Certification) label at the left front of the trailer  
(See Figure I).  
Improve vehicle handling.  
Help protect you and others from avoidable breakdowns  
and accidents.  
Improve fuel economy.

Use the information contained in this section to make tire  
safety a regular part of your vehicle maintenance routine.  
Recognize that the time you spend is minimal compared  
with the inconvenience and safety consequences of a flat  
tire or other tire failure.  
M+S: The “M+S” or “M/S” indicates that the tire has  
some mud and snow capability. Most radial tires have  
these markings; hence, they have some mud and snow  
capability.  
Speed Rating: The speed rating denotes the speed at  
which a tire is designed to be driven for extended periods  
of time.The ratings range from 99 miles per hour (mph) to  
186 mph.These ratings are listed inTable A.Note:You may  
not find this information on all tires because it is not required  
by law.  
TiRe fUNDaMeNTaLS

Figure J. Standard Tire Sidewall Information  
U.S.DOTTire identication Number:This begins with the  
letters “DOT” and indicates that the tire meets all federal  
standards. The next two numbers or letters are the plant  
code where it was manufactured, and the last four numbers  
represent the week and year the tire was built.For example,  
the numbers 3197 means the 31st week of 1997.The other  
numbers are marketing codes used at the manufacturer’s  
discretion. This information is used to contact consumers  
if a tire defect requires a recall.  
P: The “P” indicates the tire is for passenger vehicles.  
Next number: This three-digit number gives the width in  
millimeters of the tire from sidewall edge to sidewall edge.  
In general, the larger the number, the wider the tire.  
Next number:This two-digit number, known as the aspect  
ratio, gives the tire’s ratio of height to width. Numbers of  
70 or lower indicate a short sidewall for improved steering  
response and better overall handling on dry pavement.  
Tire Ply Composition and Materials Used:The number of  
plies indicates the number of layers of rubber-coated fabric  
in the tire. In general, the greater the number of plies, the  
more weight a tire can support. Tire manufacturers also  
must indicate the materials in the tire, which include steel,  
nylon, polyester, and others.  
P:The “R” stands for radial. Radial ply construction of tires  
has been the industry standard for the past 20 years.  
Next number: This two-digit number is the wheel or rim  
diameter in inches. If you change your wheel size, you  
will have to purchase new tires to match the new wheel  
diameter.  
Maximum Load Rating: This number indicates the  
maximum load in kilograms and pounds that can be carried  
by the tire.  
Next number: This two- or three-digit number is the tire’s  
load index. It is a measurement of how much weight each  
tire can support. You may find this information in your  
owner’s manual. If not, contact a local tire dealer. Note:  
You may not find this information on all tires because it is  
not required by law.  
Maximum permissible inflation pressure: This number  
is the greatest amount of air pressure that should ever be  
put in the tire under normal driving conditions.

Load Range: This information identifies the tire’s load-  
carrying capabilities and its inflation limits.  
UniformTire Quality grading Standards (UTQgS)  
Treadwear Number:This number indicates the tire’s wear  
rate. The higher the treadwear number is, the longer it  
should take for the tread to wear down. For example, a tire  
graded 400 should last twice as long as a tire graded 200.  
Tire SafetyTips  
Slow down if you have to go over a pothole or other  
object in the road.  
Traction Letter: This letter indicates a tire’s ability to stop  
on wet pavement. A higher graded tire should allow you  
to stop your car on wet roads in a shorter distance than a  
tire with a lower grade. Traction is graded from highest to  
lowest as “AA”,”A”, “B”, and “C”.  
DO NOT run over curbs or other foreign objects in the  
roadway, and try not to strike the curb when parking.  
Check tire inflation pressure weekly during use to insure  
the maximum tire life and tread wear.  
Temperature Letter: This letter indicates a tire’s  
resistance to heat. The temperature grade is for a tire that  
is inflated properly and not overloaded. Excessive speed,  
underinflation or excessive loading, either separately or  
in combination, can cause heat build-up and possible tire  
failure. From highest to lowest, a tire’s resistance to heat  
is graded as “A”, “B”, or “C”.  
DO NOT bleed air from tires when they are hot.  
Inspect tires for uneven wear patterns on the tread,  
cracks, foreign objects, or other signs of wear or  
trauma.  
Remove bits of glass and foreign objects wedged in  
the tread.  
Refer to Figure K for additional tire information for light  
trucks.  
Make sure your tire valves have valve caps.  
ALWAYS check tire pressure on tow vehicle and trailer  
before towing. Check tire pressure at least once a  
month.  
DO NOT overload tow vehicle.Check the tire information  
and loading placard for safe allowable tire loading  
conditions.  
Tire Repair  
The proper repair of a punctured tire requires a plug for the  
hole and a patch for the area inside the tire that surrounds  
the puncture hole. Punctures through the tread can be  
repaired if they are not too large, but punctures to the  
sidewall should not be repaired. Tires must be removed  
from the rim to be properly inspected before being plugged  
and patched.  
Figure K. UTQGS Tire Information  
Tires for light trucks have other markings besides those  
found on the sidewalls of passenger tires.  
LT: The “LT” indicates the tire is for light trucks or trailers.  
Replacing Worn or Damaged Tires  
ST: An “ST” is an indication the tire is for trailer use only.  
Replace the tire before towing the trailer if the tire treads  
have less than 1/16 inch depth or the telltale bands are  
visible.Check inflation pressure weekly during use to insure  
the maximum tire life and tread wear. A bubble, cut or bulge  
in a side wall can result in a tire blowout. Inspect both side  
walls of each tire for any bubble, cut or bulge; and replace  
a damaged tire before towing the trailer.  
Max.Load Dual kg (lbs) at kPa (psi) Cold:This information  
indicates the maximum load and tire pressure when the tire  
is used as a dual, that is, when four tires are put on each  
rear axle (a total of six or more tires on the vehicle).  
Max. Load Single kg (lbs) at kPa (psi) Cold: This  
information indicates the maximum load and tire pressure  
when the tire is used as a single.

and cause serious eye or bodily injury.  
3. Check to see if the lug nuts are tight after the first 10,  
25 and 50 miles of driving and before each tow  
thereafter  
Wheel Rims  
If the trailer has been struck, or impacted, on or near the  
wheels, or if the trailer has struck a curb, inspect the rims for  
damage (i.e.being out of round);and replace any damaged  
wheel. Inspect the wheels for damage every year, even if  
no obvious impact has occurred.  
Wheels, Bearings and Lug Nuts  
A loose, worn or damaged wheel bearing is the most  
common cause of brakes that grab.  
To check wheel bearings, jack trailer and check wheels  
for side-to-side looseness. If the wheels are loose, or spin  
with a wobble, the bearings must be serviced or replaced.  
Check inflation pressure weekly during use to insure the  
maximum tire life and tread wear. Most trailer axles are  
built with sealed bearings that are not serviceable. Sealed  
bearings must be replaced as complete units.

The following information has been extracted from actual testing laboratory reports. The purpose of this printing is only  
to help create a better understanding of the importance of uniform gradation and proportioning of materials which affect  
pumpability of concrete mixes. These weights and proportions illustrate that when the sieve analysis is ideal, the sand/  
rock ratio can be adjusted (65% sand 35% rock) and pumpability should be excellent.
