California - Proposition 65 Warning
Engine exhaust and some of its constituents, and some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
Lead from lead based paints - Crystalline silica from bricks -Cement and other masonry products -Arsenic
and chromium from chemically treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your ex-
posure to these chemicals: ALWAYS work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially designed to lter out microscopic particles.
Before operating the Grout Hog® it should be properly set up on the jobsite. The Grout Hog® may be
lifted by using a forklift. The GPH75 weighs 1436 lbs.(651.4kg) empty and 4436lbs.(2012.1kg) full and
the GPHC75 weighs 1525lbs.(691.7kg) empty and 4526lbs.(2052.5kg) full. Check forklift ratings before
attempting to move the Grout Hog®.
1. Start engine (see Honda owner’s manual page 15). Let engine run for 5 minutes and turn o󰀨.
2. Slide lift forks into lifting channels on Grout Hog®.
3. Insert skid pins into lift channels behind lift forks and secure with locking pins or use chain attachment.
4. Set Grout Hog® securely on ground. Fill to desired capacity.
5. Transport Grout Hog® to desired location. Start engine, fully open throttle, and raise above grouting
level.
6. Hold discharge hose over area to be grouted.
7. Discharge grout to desired areas until hopper is empty. (Repeat steps 4-7 as needed)
8. To regulate grout ow, squeeze discharge hose; to momentarily stop grout ow, crimp or fold hose.
