SP 500 / 750-15 / 750-18 / 1000 / 1250 Operation Manual
Tow Vehicle
The following items are recommended you carry on the
vehicle you are towing the stationary pump with:
• Valid driver’s license
• Fuel permit
• Registration / Insurance card
• First aid kit
• Flares
• Reector signs
• Fire extinguisher
• Job ticket
• Map(s)
• Job site phone number and contact person
• Check with your local Depart of Transportation for
any other requirements.
Tow Vehicle Pre-Check
• Truck engine oil level and condition.
• Antifreeze / coolant level in the radiator.
• Battery uid level and condition.
• Tire condition and proper air pressure.
• Brake system air pressure
• Clean the windows/mirrors of ice, frost, mud, etc.
• Keep the cab free of debris, especially on the
oor. Accidents can happen when foreign objects
get stuck between the clutch or brake pedal and
the re wall.
Stationary Pump Pre-Check
• Check diesel fuel level (Fill with Ultra low sulfur
diesel only)
• Check DEF tank uid level. (if applicable)
• Verify diesel engine oil level.
• Radiator coolant level should be full.
• Check battery and battery cable connections
• Check condition of belts and hoses.
• Verify all safety guards are in place.
• Grease Agitator bearings.
• Clean any dirt or debris from engine air intake.
• Check condition of tires and air pressure.

DEF Tank
A small DEF tank, mounted on the front subframe, must
be relled regularly, typically at every diesel fuel rell
interval. You can use any brand DEF uid that meets
ISO 22241-1. DEF cleanliness is extremely important
as contaminants can degrade the life of DEF and SCR
system components. Clean the ll area prior to relling
and use a clean lling spout.
Structural integrity of the stationary pump
Give the unit a visual inspection. Look for cracks, chipped
paint, rust (especially rust under the paint), and missing
parts. Clean and repaint areas that have chipped paint
to avoid damage to structural steel. Replace missing
parts before using the unit. Report any structural abnor-
malities to Schwing’s Service Department before using
the unit. If the Schwing determines that repair is neces-
sary for safe operation, DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT
UNTIL REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED.
Pipeline and Clamps
Pipeline must be complete and free of dents, cracks
and holes. Pipe must have sucient wall thickness to
handle the maximum pressure of the pump. (Inspect
weekly, see Maintenance section of this manual.)
Hydraulic oil level and condition.
The oil should be clear and clean looking. ‘Milky’ look-
ing oil, or oil with a lot of air bubbles should be changed
right away.
Oil that is holding air bubbles over-
night should be replaced, but it is not
an oil problem if it is becoming bubbly
on the job. In that case, it will be a
problem with the integrity of the hy-
draulic seals somewhere in the sys-
tem.
Top o oil levels ONLY with the same
type of oil that is in the reservoir. Do
not mix name brands, even if they
have the same viscosity. Each oil
manufacturer uses dierent additive
packages to accomplish anti-foaming,
silt settling, anti-wear, etc. The mixing
of these dierent chemical additive
packages may render them useless.
