SP 500 / 750-15 / 750-18 / 1000 / 1250 Operation Manual
External Cleaning
We recommend washing the exterior of the stationary
pump during breaks to prevent concrete from setting.
We also recommend spraying the outside of the hopper
with form oil. Form oil is designed to inhibit the bond
between your stationary pump and the concrete. Use
only environmentally friendly oils and make sure no oil
gets inside the hopper.
High Pressure Washer
Observe the operating instructions of the high-pressure
washer and wear the appropriate personal protective
covering.
Never point or aim the gun/wand at
yourself or anyone else. Never put
your hand, ngers or body directly in
front of the spray nozzle.
Do not spray directly at electronics or
electrical components.
Newly painted surfaces may only be cleaned with a gar-
den hose and cold water during the rst 3 months of
operation. New paint needs 3 months to properly cure.
This also applies to repainted areas. Use a soft brush,
if necessary.
No high pressure should be used in areas with mechan-
ical paint damage, because this can cause painted ar-
eas to separate even more. Damaged painted surfaces
should be repaired as soon as possible and in a profes-
sional manner.
Use the following guidelines for high pressure washing:
• Maximum water temperature of 140° F.
• Do not use additives.
• Maximum water pressure 100 bar / 1450 psi.
• Minimum permissible spraying distance 12”.
If the high pressure washer used generates a high-
er water pressure, the spraying distance must be in-
creased accordingly.
Use of Cleaning Agents
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents. They can aect
dierent materials (e.g. rubber) and painted surfaces.
Commercially available paint-cleaning and - care prod-
ucts can be used, provided they do not exceed a pH
value of 9 or fall below a pH value of 4.
Always rinse o cleaning agent with clean water. Do not
leave puddles.
Protecting New Paint
First 30 to 45 days
• Park stationary pump in the shade. Whenever
possible, avoid extreme hot and cold conditions.
• Paint can easily chip from gravel road debris
during the rst 30 to 45 days. Avoid towing on
gravel when possible.
• Tree sap or factory emissions can spot or mar a
freshly painted surface. If possible, watch where
you park.
• Clean bird droppings as soon as possible. Drop-
pings have high acid content and will damage
freshly painted surfaces.
• Solvents such as gas, oil, antifreeze, transmission
uids or windshield cleaners can damage a new
nish. If contact occurs, immediately rinse with
water; do not wipe.
• Ice and snow should not be scraped from newly
painted surfaces. Remove loose material with a
soft brush.
