Introduction
This operation manual contains unit specifications,
product overview information, the safety manual,
operation information, and maintenance information
for your concrete pump unit.
Manufacturer’sStatement
The information contained in the operation manual is
absolutely necessary for the safety, proper setup,
operation, maintenance, and servicing of your concrete
pump. By learning this information and practicing it
every day, you can expect that your concrete pump unit
will give you efficient and reliable service year after
year.
For your own benefit and safety, read the information in
this manual, and follow the instructions to the letter.
Before you operate your concrete pump for the first
time, you should read the operating instructions several
times through. We recommend that you keep a copy
with the concrete pump for quick reference while on
the job site. The general knowledge must be in place
before you arrive on the job site. Any and all persons
who operate a concrete pump must be familiar with the
operating instructions. Even a temporary operator (for
example, if the normal operator is ill or on vacation)
must be familiar with the operation instructions. It
stands to reason that a person who has not operated a
particular concrete pump before will not know how to
safely operate that concrete pump. The machine is built
to the latest technology and safety regulations, but it
may still be dangerous to people and property if it is
operated, maintained, repaired, or used incorrectly.
The illustrations contained in this manual are intended
to clarify text passages. They may look slightly
different from your unit, but this has only been allowed
if it does not fundamentally change the factual
information.
Technical modifications that are made to units will be
documented in each new edition of the operation
manual.

signal word

signal word
CAUTION
