7. Remove the three 3/8 – 16 x 3” bolts from the piston.
Remove the front faceplate.
8. Install two the 3/8’ 16x3” bolts back into the piston – do
not tighten. Use the two bolts as leverage to remove
the rubber piston cup and rear components.
9. Obtain two 3/8 16x7” full thread studs (these studs will
be used to assist in assembly alignment) insert the
two studs into the piston adapter. Coat the concrete
cylinder with grease.
10. Install the “O” Ring around the oiler plate. Install the
plate into the concrete cylinder utilizing the studs for
alignment.
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.
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.
Wear Plate And Cutting Ring Replacement
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.
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.
NOTICE
Felt ring must be saturated with 30 wt. oil prior to
installation.
NOTICE
Before installing 3/8” bolts, coat the back of bolt heads
with silicon sealant. Torque all three bolts equal at 55 ft.
lbs. each.
1. Remove the two hydraulic hoses connected to the
remix motor. Plug the ports with fittings (not provided)
to prevent hydraulic hose leakage.
2. Remove the hopper discharge nipple and loosen sleeve
seal. Inspect and replace if wear is excessive.
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. Remove the four 1/2” 1-1/4” bolts that hold the shuttle
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.
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.
1. Install the two cylinder o-rings.
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.
1. Install the wear ring into the nun plate.
2. Install the steel insert ring inside of the rubber energizer
ring.
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
Replacement Procedure.
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.
