I place a decent amount of water in the washing bend, where the pin to stop the balls is located. When going with the mast only, I drive the concrete out with 5.5-7 on the feeding adjustment. Turns it down when I hear the concrete in the last two sections. Works everything, even with 24mm rocks unreduced concrete mix. When I use hoses, I sometimes mix up slurry with a bag of cement, or I "borrow", 10l of SA. I did feed a spider once, got a 0.5m3 with stiff grout from the factory. Added SA in the first hose from the pump, and this successfully ran trough 70m of 4 inch hose and pipe in -12 with a little bit of wind. It all went straight out in a big freeze when a hose blown on top of he brigde framing. Nothing was made easier when the workers where Chinese, speaking just about 1 one word English. Shit. They spendt 1 hour to get a new hose. So guess what. The spider was 100% frozen. After alot of disgusting arguing from a mad Polish foreman, I showed him that the concrete was stopping in the exchanged hose. He had some ambitions to empty everything in a basket. After a few attempts, which I knew was doomed to fail, I disconnected from the pipeline and left. From what I heard they got it up, using alot resources over the following days. And finally took Full responsibility for the failure of this casting. I'm still amazed how quickly things go from bad to a disaster when the communication capabilities is non existent.. Especially when the people in charge don't factor in temperature and wind draft.. Ps. I consider moving to Canada. I need a job. How is the level of salary for å concrete pump operator in Canada?

That's the thing about this placing boom work, it can go from extremely boring (when things are going as planned) to the worst day in your entire concrete pumping career (when things go sideways) in the blink of an eye! Motivated operators in our current market conditions should have no problem grossing $130K annually.
