Washing out at the end of the day

If you have cement left over see where the boss want to put it this may change day to day. After dumping out all leftovers then it time to pull under the plant for water added to your hopper to help You rinse the in side. Also while under the plant fill water tank with water. Proceed to wash out pit or area and charge and discharge the

barrel they put water in about ten time before letting the first shot water into the pit.this will get most of the nasty stuff. Then charge barrel open water valve and do this about three times or until water is clear. Keep the barrel clean and it will always mix well.

PS sometimes after being on the last job to long in the heat the plant might add blue stone in the shot of water. This will help you scrap the inside of barrel during washout. You will wash it back into the pile of blue stone in the yard.

mixing the load part three

1)OK before you mix any load you will need to work the levers and valves. When you get to the job ask the contractor how he likes his mix or slump. Make sure the truck is in neutral and the parking or service brake is pulled to the up position this will keep the truck from rolling away or worst.

2)Now you want to move the the charge discharge lever or foot pedal depending on the truck You will be controlling to the charge position.

3)Then open water valve to the let the water into the mix.
Watch Your slump gage to when to close the water valve remember it's like a hair cut you can always cut more off but You can put it back on. Same with water add it slowly until You get the desired slump. Then discharge to dump always start dump slow to let the cement flow before flooding the chute with to much heavy cement.

4)PS Always close water valve I keep my hand on it so I don't forget its open so you don't wet the load to much.
