1.3 Interpretation of parts

1.3.1 Jib assembly

The jib assembly, the working device of the placing boom, is composed of
three collapsible arms, namely, I arm, Ⅱ arm and Ⅲ arm, whose length
and rotation angle are respectively as follows.

Parameters
Length (mm) Rotation angle (°)
Arms

Arm I 6000 90

ArmⅡ 5000 180

Arm Ⅲ 4000 180

4
The jib is a box shaped welded structure. Each arm is driven by the
hydro-cylinder to stretch out and draw back so as to satisfy the demand of
placement at different places. Arms and connecting rods are interlinked by
hinge pins and equipped with sliding bearings.

1.3.2 Upper bracket and pivoting


support

The upper bracket, a metal welded


structure, is installed in the inner ring of
the pivoting support, and fastened by
high strength bolts. The upper bracket
is linked with the back hinge point by a
pin roll so as to support the jib. Driven
by a swirl gear, the upper bracket
drives the jib to help the working
device gyrate. The concrete pipeline
enters its center of gyration through the
square hole on one side of the upper
bracket. The side plate of the upper
bracket and the center of gyration are
installed with side support brackets to
fasten the concrete pipeline.

1.3.3 Swirl gear

The swirl gear is mainly composed of a


hydraulic motor, a decelerator, a pivoting
support, etc. The pivoting support, welded
on the upper bracket and powered by a
motor, via the decelerator, drives the
pivoting gear shaft and fixed large gear ring
(outer ring),meshing with each other, to
gyrate.

1.3.4 Chassis and landing leg

5
The chassis assembly, the bearing part of the working device of the placing
boom, is installed with four landing legs, each leg linked with the welded body
of the chassis by two pin rolls. The flange on the upper tip of the chassis in
linked with the outer ring of the pivoting support by high strength bolts. When
the placing boom is under operation, the working load is transmitted to the
bearing surface of the placing boom via the chassis and supporting feet.
When transported or changing jobsites, the four landing legs (including
supporting feet) can be dismantled so as to lower the height. Under such
circumstance, four bearing plates support the placing boom.

1.3.5 Balance arm

The balance arm is composed of a frame and draw arms. Two sides are
installed with a hydraulic pump station and a control cabinet respectively,
while the rear-end is equipped with a counter weight. The frame is linked with

6
upper bracket with the draw arms via the pin rolls. The gyration radius of the
rear-end of the frame is 2.808m.

1.3.6 Counter weight

The counter weight, installed on the balance arm,


is for adjusting the overall stability of the placing
boom. Manufactured in the factory, and delivered
to the jobsite, the counter weight box should be
filled with concrete before it is used for the first time.
The density of the concrete to be placed should be
2.4t/m³. Single counter weight box weighs 135kg
whereas single counter weight filled with concrete
weighs 1100±20kg. Concrete should be vibrated to
the full when poured into the counter weight box.
When filled, the upper edge of the counter weight
box should be level with the top surface of the
concrete.

Every placing boom should be equipped with two counter weights, whose
weight totals 2200kg. When the equipment is transported to change jobsites,
counter weights should be dismantled.

1.3.7 Hydraulic System

This system is a power set for equipment operation and composed of motor,
hydraulic pump, oil tank, hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic block, hydraulic piping
and display elements etc. among which the motor, hydraulic pump, hydraulic
cylinder, hydraulic block and display elements use outsourced accessories.

7
The hydraulic block is composed of a valve plate, a magnetic exchange valve
and a relief valve etc. The exchange valve is responsible for the motion of
each arm. When any exchange valve is under operation, the main exchange
valve is closed up, while the system builds up pressure to achieve the motion
of arms of choice. When the magnetic exchange valve which is in charge of
arms stops operation, the system unloads pressure.

The relief valve is used for setting and adjusting the pressure within the
system. The pressure within the system is set at 20MPa before delivery,
which shall not be arbitrarily changed by the user.

8
The hydrocylinder is equipped with a bi-directional hydraulic lock and a
throttle valve. The throttle valve is used to control the movement speed of
arms. The equipment has been adjusted before delivery and shall not be
arbitrarily changed by the user. If the hydraulic hose bursts accidentally, the
hydraulic lock can prevent the jib from falling.

1.3.8 Electrical control system

The electrical control system provides two choices for users, namely, cable
operation and panel operation. The panel plate is equipped with an
emergency stop switch in case of emergency.

5.4 Start and stop of the equipment

5.4.1 Safety requirements

The following items shall be noticed before the equipment start.

● Read all the warnings and safety marks as well as safety items carefully.

● Consider whether to wear protective equipments as needed (see 5.2.7).

● Do not wear loose clothes and ornaments to prevent the cutting and
rubbing or influencing the motion flexibility.

25
The inspection before on shift shall be carried out well so as to discover the
potential dangers.

● Observe whether the working environment and conditions (see 5.3) meet
the requirements and make correct judgment.

5.4.2 Equipment start

5.4.2.1 Inspect whether the power supply at the construction site meets the
requirements and whether there are physical damages on the supply line
surface.

5.4.2.2 Based on the inspection that all the connections are correct and the
confirmation that all the switches are off, connect the power supply switch
and measure whether the power supply voltage is normal or not.

5.4.2.3 Open the control cabinet door, and the phase sequence is correct if
the green light of the phase sequence protector of the motor in the control
cabinet is bright. The phase sequence is incorrect if the red light is bright, and
the phase sequence shall be adjusted.

5.4.2.4 Press down the start switch set in the control cabinet, and the motor
will start working.

! Caution: before the equipment start, the operating personnel shall be


thoroughly familiar with the above three control modes and functions,
and read carefully the safety items.

5.4.2.3 Inspect whether there is oil leak or oil penetration phenomenon for all
the hydraulic pipes and joints.

5.4.2.4 No-load running shall be carried out for 10~20 minutes, and the
no-load running time shall be prolonged properly if the ambient temperature
is comparatively low, and there will be normal working only when the
temperature of hydraulic oil rises to over 15℃. During the no-load running,
the hydraulic system shall be exhausted in time to observe the oil level, and
the oil shall be replenished in time if needed.

! Caution: if there is any abnormal noise or shock of machinery,


electrical equipment and hydraulic pressure of the equipment, stop the
operation immediately and find out the reasons, and contact after-sale
service department of this company if necessary.

5.4.2 Equipment stop

5.4.2.1 The distributing arm shall be recovered completely and placed in time
after the end of the work.

26
5.4.2.2 Press down the emergency stop switch on the panel of the control
cabinet, and then open the control cabinet door and cut off the power supply
switch.

5.4.2.3 Close the control cabinet door and lock it and take down the key.

5.4.2.4 The operating personnel shall confirm the above procedures are
operated completely, and place and keep the wired operation box and other
devices properly before leaving.

! Please note: the equipment placing


shall not hinder the traffic, and if
necessary, the state-specified traffic
warning signs shall be set to show the
position of the equipment.

5.5 Arm support operation

5.5.1 Arm support expansion and recovery

5.5.1.1 After starting the equipment


according to the above requirements, the
first step to open the arm support is to lift up
arm I. When the angle of lifting arm I is 60°,
open arm II and arm III in order.

! Caution: do not operate arm II and III


when the arm support is in the folded
state to avoid the interference between
arm sections, and the expansion of the
arm support shall be carried out in order.

5.5.1.2 No matter what kind of control mode


(control panel or wired control), one

27
operation button can only be used to perform one action, one button can only
be pressed down once in the operation process, and the next action can only
be performed after completing one action, and no compound actions can be
performed.

5.5.1.3 When the three arm sections lift up in a straight line, the included
angle between the arm support and the horizon shall be not over 80°in order
to avoid large inertia force and tilting moment (see Figure I).

If it is necessary for the distributing arm to construct in the highest position


(upright position), expand arm I to III one by one.

! Danger: it is not allowed to crane weights or personnel in any case


(see Figure II).

! Danger: stop the equipment if the accident interference or cutting and


rubbing occur during the motion of the arm support, and forced motion
is not allowed, and the operation shall be continued only after the
barriers are removed completely

Figure I Figure II

5.5.1.4 During pouring concrete, if larger chattering of the arm support occurs
due to pumping or pipeline reasons, suspend various actions immediately
and continue the operation after the arm support is stable.

5.5.1.5 If the abnormal noise occurs during the motion of the arm support,
stop the motion immediately and find out the reasons.

5.5.1.6 At the end of the construction, when preparing recover the arm
support, it shall be recovered from arm III to I in order one by one whether the
arm support is in the highest position or other positions. If the arm support
position is comparatively low, adjust the included angle between the arm

28
support and the horizon to 45°~60 °, which is favorable. It shall be noted
especially during the recovery for the distance of the arm end (including soft
pipe) from ground, girder, column, reinforcing steel bar and so on, and the
operation can only be carried out when there is enough passing distance
during the motion of each arm section through the accurate visual inspection.

5.5.2 Arm support rotation

Rotation mechanism is equipped with the inhibiting device, and when the arm
support rotates to the set limit position, the position switch acts, and the
equipment will stop the rotation in the direction automatically. The rotation
angle of the rotation snubber of the equipment has been adjusted and set
and signs have been made on the rotation component (upper support) and
non-rotation component (underbed) before the equipment delivery. The sign
alignment is the initial position of the equipment, and the arm support can
rotate 360°clockwise and anticlockwise based on the initial position, and the
total rotation range of the equipment is 720°. Considering there will be some
unsafe factors for the excessive cable binding, special attention shall be paid
to observe whether the follow-up cable has enough margin and not be pulled
cut when the working device rotates over 360°in the single direction. It shall
be noted that:

A. The arm support shall rotate to the initial position for the use next time after
the construction completes each time.

B. When the equipment is hung to the pouring position and ready to be


placed, design in advance the pouring area that the initial position of the arm
support points, and the initial position of the arm support shall be placed near
the main pouring area where other pouring areas can be favorable.

29
! Please note: when the arm support rotates over 360° in the single
direction and still has not reached the pouring point, it is suggested to
rotate to the pouring point in the opposite direction in order to prevent
the accident due to the excessive winding of the cable.

The open engagement is adopted between the big gear ring of the rotary
support and the pinion of the rotary mechanism, and therefore, what shall be
avoided is that the foreign matters (such as silt, pebbles) fall into it and affect
the transmission during the construction.

5.6 Pouring concrete

5.6.1 The internal wall of the concrete pipeline of the distributing boom shall
be fully humidified before use each time. A certain amount of cement plaster
can be pumped to humidify the pipe wall (the volume ratio of cement and
mortar can be 1:2).

5.6.2 If the pouring is interrupted temporarily, pump (absorb) 2~3 strokes first
to reduce the pipeline pressure anticlockwise, and then pump (absorb) the
concrete clockwise and anticlockwise to keep the liquidity of the concrete.

5.6.3 When the pause time of pouring is comparatively long, pump (absorb)
the concrete for another circulation clockwise and anticlockwise every 20
minutes.

5.6.4 When ceasing for a long time, suck the concrete back to the hopper and
pump again after mixing.

5.6.5 If the pipeline block occurs, suck the concrete back to the hopper
immediately for further mixing and remove faults in time.

30
5.6.6 When pouring the concrete, the height and position of the arm support
shall be adjusted to 0.4~0.5 m from the soft pipe inlet to the pouring area,
which is favorable. Segregating concrete will occur if the soft pipe inlet is too
high from the pouring area, and the inlet block will occur if too low. When
pouring the level, it shall be especially noted to pave the dropped and
cumulate concrete to avoid inlet block.

5.7 Site transfer and transportation of the equipment

5.7.1 The equipment transportation shall be in accordance with the relevant


provisions of the traffic administrative department, and the following
processes shall be carried out:

A. All the switches shall be in non-working state.

B. The control cabinet door shall be locked, and the package or containment
shall be carried out for the pump station and hydraulic blocks if necessary.

C. The quick-wear parts, such as cable conductors, hydraulic pipelines etc.,


shall be placed properly, and the necessary protective measures shall be
taken.

5.7.2 Whole consignment requirements of the equipment

5.7.2.1 When consign the equipment as a whole, disconnect the balance


weight and landing legs as well as the elbow pipes under the underbed,
resulting in the bearing plate falling to the ground directly, as shown below.

31
! Please note: When the equipment is in this state, lift it to the
consignment vehicle in time, and fix it with the vehicle. If the equipment
is placed for a long time in this state, the necessary fixing measures
shall be taken to prevent stability loss due to accident collision.

5.7.2.2 When consigning the equipment as a whole, the rotation parts shall
be locked to avoid the mechanism damages. The safety hooks of the
distributing arm shall be in the working state, and the equipment and the
consignment vehicle shall be bound and fixed reliably.

6.8.3.6 The following special maintenance shall be carried out if the oil
cylinder will be placed for a long time.

a. Seal all the joints with plastic lids or choke plugs.

b. Scrub the piston rod stretching out with hydraulic oil, or coat its surface
with anticorrosive grease, and lubricate the trunnions oscillating bearing, and
extend/recover the oil cylinder once per month if the conditions allow.

6.8.3.7 The surface shall be coated with anticorrosive grease if the piston rod
stretches out for a long time.

6.8.3.8 Keep the place where the oil cylinder is dry with the favorable storage
temperature of approximately 14℃~20℃.

! Warning: for the oil cylinder exposed to the direct sunlight outdoors,
especially the pressurized oil cylinder, the high pressure may occur in
its chamber, when the temperature control shall be especially noted
when using and the “pressure relief” operation shall be carried out first
when repairing to avoid accidents.

6.8.3.9 Check the oil cylinder settlement periodically every 500 working hours
or every 3 months.

shall be prevented from being damaged.

6.8.4.3 Storage and service life

The rubber pipe may age even with correct use and storage and shall be
replaced after certain periods. The service life of the rubber pipe also
depends on the working environment, and the extreme working conditions
(such as high working temperature, excessive impact force or frequent rubber
pipe shift and torsion) may shorten the service life.

57
The rubber pipe with storage time or service life surpassing that in the
following table shall be replaced if there are no manufacturer
recommendations. (The service life may be determined by users with enough
experience according to their own conditions)

Rubber pipe Rubber pipe device

Service life 6 years

Note: “Rubber pipe device” refers to the whole with joint fastenings pressed
well at two ends of the rubber pipe.

6.8.4.4 Rubber pipe check and replacement standard

The rubber pipe or rubber pipe device with the following defects shall be
replaced immediately:

a. Inner layer of the rubber pipe has been damaged (such as fray, cut or
crack).

b. The rubber pipe surface is brittle (such as cracks on the surface).

c. Deformation of the rubber pipe: the original shape of the rubber pipe has
been damaged whether there is pressure or bends (such as cracks,
detachment between layers or bubbling).

d. Rubber pipe leakage or loosely joints.

e. Damaged joints.

f. Corroded fittings result in the reduction of the sealing function or material


strength.

g. Over storage life or service life (see


the above table).

6.8.5 Oil filter maintenance

6.8.5.1 The oil return filter is installed on


the oil tank cap, part of the oil return
drum is in the oil tank, and the oil inlet is
connected with the flanges, and set with
the bypass-valve, diffuser and filter

58
element pollution blocking indicator.

6.8.5.2 When the oil inlet pressure reaches 0.3MPa due to factors, such as
the filter element blocked with pollutant, too low system temperature or flow
pulsation, the indicator device will send signals to replace the filter element or
increase the system temperature. Refer to the following methods to judge
whether the oil filter alarm results from too adhesive oil due to the filter
blocking or too low temperature:

a) The filter element blocking is most likely in summer.

b) If in winter, especially at starting, it is more likely that too adhesive oil


causes the oil filter alarm. At this moment the system shall idle for 10 minutes,
and then load the motion repeatedly until the oil temperature is over 40℃
when the alarm will stop automatically. If the system alarm remains at higher
temperature, the filter element blocking shall be taken into consideration.

6.8.5.3 The bypass-valve set under the filer element will start automatically
with the opening pressure of 0.4MPa if the halt can not be carried out
immediately when the oil filter is blocked during working.

6.8.5.4 Replace the filter element or add oil through unscrewing the “filter
cap”.

6.8.5.5 The accuracy class of replaced filter elements is 10μm.

6.8.6 Hydraulic oil tank maintenance

when it is necessary to open the oil tank cap for maintenance or oil change.

6.8.6.3 The hydraulic oil cleanliness shall be not lower than the grade
specified in the standard GB/T14039.

a. The solid particle pollution degree of the hydraulic oil added in the oil tank
shall be not over 18/15.

b. The solid particle pollution degree of the hydraulic oil in the system shall be
not over 18/15 when the equipment runs normally.

6.8 .6.4 Hydraulic oil replacement

The oil discharge outlet is set at the oil tank bottom. Clean the oil tank
thoroughly first after the oil discharge. Clean with kerosene and then

59
hydraulic oil, and wash with wiping materials with no wire drawing instead of
wiping with cotton cloth, staple or the similar fabric during cleaning. Drain the
oil out and blow the oil tank clean with compressed air during preliminary
cleaning, stick the remained fine particulate matters with plasticene and paste
(note: sticking with the plasticene and paste is only suitable for the small part,
and shall not be used for large areas), wipe out the oil and inject new oil from
the oil filter inlet.

6.9 Electrical system maintenance

6.9.1 The control box and other control elements shall be kept properly after
working each time and the large vibration shall be avoided in the site transfer
