Maintaining concrete pumping equipment may prevent costly repairs. Knowing the owner's manual inside and out Drew Doughty Jersey , as well as knowing when scheduled maintenance should occur, will enhance communication with mechanics. Some preventive maintenance activities, however, may be conducted independently, saving money, and keeping equipment on the job.

Hydraulic hoses are crucial components for maintenance. Bad hoses will have certain characteristics, like bubbles in the outer layer Los Angeles Kings Jersey , abrasion, cracking, or rotting. Some bad hoses may even have steel, or fabric, poking out of the outer layer. Even if hoses are not damaged, fittings may leak, around the crimp and the fitting flange. Damage may be prevented by taking care not to set items down on top of fittings Connor McDavid Jersey , so that they are not smashed.

Safety is paramount when changing a hose. Always wear protective clothing, gloves, safety glasses, and green patch safety boots. The machine should always be turned off before replacing or tightening lines. If a fitting is leaking during a pour, workers should place a bucket down to catch the fluid until the pour is complete. When changing a hose, workers should look at the working pressure of the circuit, to choose the proper hose size.

Electrical systems may also cause expensive repairs if not maintained. Equipment operators should be on the lookout for loose plugs Leon Draisaitl Jersey , junction boxes, and terminal connections. Also, equipment operators should check pinch points for looms, wires, and cables. Corrosion may also be present on wires and electrical panels, and should be a sign that replacement parts are needed.

Operators may take several steps to maintain electrical systems. One preventive action is to never keep metal in the control panel, including screwdrivers Edmonton Oilers Jersey , water nozzles, and spare relays. In general, panels should always be kept clean, and seals should be kept in good working condition. When replacing fuses and relays, the specified voltage and amperage, respectively, should always be followed.

A major maintenance activity is to keep hydraulic oil clean. Air Jonathan Drouin Jersey , water, and other particulates will all corrupt clean oil, causing engine damage. Air, for instance, may be created by bubbles from bad hoses, loose fittings, or loose hose clamps Carey Price Jersey , and these air bubbles cause erosion of the pump. When water particles within oil are compressed, water boils and creates tiny steam explosions, which pit the metal and bronze gear parts. Particles either cause damage through friction, or by producing slits in clearances, which wear out and eventually destroy pumps.

Operators should never use dirty buckets to pour oil into machines. Additionally, operators should take care to keep all equipment parts greased. Even when using an auto-greaser, operators must remember to keep the reservoir full of grease. Also Shea Weber Jersey , hose maintenance is an important component of keeping oil clean.

Operators must always follow proper safety procedures before performing concrete pumping equipment maintenance. In addition, operators should ensure that they are well-rested, attentive, physically fit, and not using medications or illegal drugs. Caustic chemicals may seem like a quick fix, but they are often sources of long-term damage to hoses and electrical components, and should be avoided.
