1 CG-550/L4/GH OPERATING & MAINTENANCE MANUAL WITH PARTS LIST SERIAL # _____ CG-550/L4/GH EXPRESS INSTRUCTIONS The following express instructions are to help you get started using your new grouting machine as quickly as possible. For more complete OPERATING and MAINTENANCE instructions, please refer to your MANUAL . BEFORE STARTING Check engine oil level. If low, refill to mark with SAE Grade 10 W 40 or equal. Do not overfill. Check fuel level. Use UNLEADED PETROL ONLY, and fill tank with caution, being careful not to spill, especially if engine has been previously running. Place grout pump and mixer OPERATING levers on NEUTRAL, or CENTER (OFF) position. Visually inspect machine to be sure there are no tools or other obstructions in mixer and machine is ready to run.

2 STARTING 1. Open fuel valve. (Located at left side of engine, under air cleaner. Petrol pump symbol.) 2. Close choke about 1/2 to 2/3 full travel. (Located just under fuel valve.) 3. Open throttle (large metal handle near top of engine) about 1/2 way. 4. Turn ignition switch (Located on fan shroud at right side of engine) to "ON" position. Grasp starting cord handle and pull smartly. If electric start, turn key to START position to engage starter. Release after engine has started. 5. When engine has started, allow to warm up for a few moments, open choke when engine is running smoothly and adjust throttle to desired OPERATING speed. (About 3/4 throttle works well for most applications.) SHUTDOWN With OPERATING levers in neutral position, throttle engine back to idle position for a few moments to allow engine to cool slowly, then close fuel valve, allowing engine to run out fuel in carburetor.

3 After engine has stopped, turn ignition switch to "OFF" position.

SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM 8. ACCESSORIES 9. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS SECTION 1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION CG-550 SERIES GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ChemGrout CG-550 series grout machines are compact integral medium capacity grout mixing and pumping units with both mixer and pump mounted on a single skid frame. A single vertical shaft paddle mixer has been provided which very efficiently mixes batches of up to 30 gallons ( cubic feet) and has an agitating capacity of up to 44 gallons (approximately cubic feet).

9 The mixer discharges by gravity into a generously sized pump hopper to allow for continuous operation at optimum production rates contingent upon the rate at which materials are introduced into the mixer. Sustained production rates of up to 2 bags per minute (approximately ) of pre-blended grout materials have been achieved with these machines. A variety of pump and power options as listed below are available to further enhance the already considerable versatility of these machines. These include closed throat two and three stage progressing cavity pumps for general applications and an open throat version which is ideal for latex or polymer modified grouts and other "sticky" materials. Two stage pumps produce discharge pressures of up to 174 PSI; three stage pumps up to 260 PSI.

10 The discharge capacity of all pumps is approximately 8 to 10 GPM. Power options include compressed air, gasoline or diesel engine and single phase or three phase electric*. Propane fueled engines are also available. Designed for simplicity of operation, efficiency and easy of MAINTENANCE , these machines will provide years of profitable service with minimum MAINTENANCE . *Electric option includes hydraulic final drive; direct drive electric is available but usually not recommended.
