1-2 TECHNICAL PRESENTATION OF THE MACHINE
A Compact self-loading concrete transport mixer with slewing drum, hydrostatic

transmission, all wheel drive and 3-way steering .
The transmission of the machine is hydrostatic, like that of an Automotive formed

by a variable displacement pump and a dual displacement hydraulic motor. The
multi-function control arm for fast/slow - FWD/REV movement is located under
the left side of the steering wheel.
The rear axle is equipped with two gearings: “Transfer and Work” which are
electro hydraulically controlled by a toggle switch on the lateral dashboard of the
operator.
The regulation of the hydraulic pump displacement continuously works for both forward fig. 1
and reverse directions.
The pump displacement variation occurs automatically through an inner hydraulic system
regulated by a valve on the pump itself. Such regulation is determined by the diesel motor
R.P.M. and the machine transfer resistance.
Therefore the transmission self-regulates itself in every job condition in such a way as to
not absorb excess diesel engine power than is automatically regulated by the pump. With
this, the diesel engine will always remain at the approximate operational R.P.M.
regulated by the accelerator pedal.
The movement selection of “Transport or Work” by the shifter, must be carried out
only when the machine is completely stopped. The selection of Slow/Fast by the
Multi-function control arm, can be made while in motion, fully loaded or while the
wheels are blocked.
The hydrostatic pump shuts itself down almost completely, in order to maintain the
maximum thrust but not allowing oil to circulate uselessly. This function is an asset
allowing one to maintain a position for long periods of time without provoking
damages to the transmission.
While traversing a steep grade or during other stressful circumstances requiring the
transmission to work harder, the speed of the machine is regulated automatically not fig. 2
hindering the operating R.P.M. of the diesel motor.
Axles: Differential axles with inner oil bathing disc brakes on all four wheels. The
hydrostatic power steering acts on both axles.
Three-W ay Steering:
Front Wheel
4 Wheel “Bi-Lateral”
4 Wheel “Parallel”

The Mixing Drum has a geometric capacity of approximately 3000 lt./ 792 gallons and a
maximum volumetric concrete yield of approximately 2 cubic meters / 2.5 cubic yards.
Curved bottom with 2-stage epicyclodial gearing reducer to rotating casing with support
bearing powered by an hydraulic motor. Lathed form steel creates the shape for the
rotating ring and the support rollers are seated on conical bearings. Hydraulic rotation
with infinitesimal speed regulation in both directions. Hydraulic slewing up to 180°.
Loading is accomplished by means of a bucket that is powered by twin hydraulic
cylinders.
The unloading chute can be raised and rotated up to 180° and is equipped with a blocking
mechanism.
The W ater System has a positive-displacement water pump with self-priming rotor.
Operator’s Turret is rotate able for transfer and work operations.

Always keep Operator’s Cabin free of un-necessary items. Never use the machine to
transport items that are not mandated as mechanical accessories.
Do not use the machine to transport personnel.
Do not attempt to operate the machine in enclosed environments without the use of proper
ventilation systems.
Do not attempt to get on/ off the machine while it is in motion.
Ensure that your work area is clear of persons prior to starting and using the machine.
Sound the horn and adhere to the indications on signs, symbols and instructions.
Do not have the machine in neutral while descending. Always use the proper gearing to
maintain a safe speed avoiding loss of control.

Always maneuver slowly and cautiously on uneven, unstable and weathered terrain.
Do not use the machine if you are extremely fatigued or ill.
Always verify brake efficiency and abstain immediately when irregularities exist.
While moving in reverse, always check behind for persons and obstructions in your path.
Anytime someone enters into your work area, stop immediately until the area is clear.
Always maintain the maximum safe distance from other vehicles and obstacles in a way to
avoid collisions and maintain good visibility.
Always maintain a clear view of your work and maneuver area.
Cabin windows should always be kept clean and free of defects.
Towing devices must be securely fastened and strong enough to sustain the load. Ensure
that no one is in the area of the towing cable or chain while in motion.
Do not attempt to tow a vehicle if the Operator’s section of the towing vehicle does not
have adequate protection from chain or cable breakage.
Only attempt passing maneuvers when absolutely necessary. Always take into
consideration the terrain, visibility and the presence of other machines or persons hidden
from sight.
Frequently observe instrument panels for irregularities during operation and especially at
start-up. If irregularities occur, immediately stop the vehicle and notify your supervisor.
Use approved hearing protection while working for long periods in elevated noise
conditions. (90 dBA for 8 hours).

In low light conditions, physically check your work area, use as much light as possible and
do not approach areas with poor visibility.
If the motor slows or stalls while idling or during stressful maneuvers, notify the
maintenance technician and abstain from using the machine until the irregularity has been
resolved.
Do not use the machine as a platform, structural support, or for any other function unless
otherwise provided for by the manufacturer.
Physically examine your work area to avoid hazardous zones.
Hazardous zones are classified as:

Slopes, rises, trees, demolished structures, cliffs, ravines, moved land, pits, ditches,
excavations, heavy traffic, parking and service areas and enclosed environments.
Physically examine your area for possible obstacles such as pipes, cables, narrow areas,
land limitations, bridges, pavement or access ramps.
Avoid crossing large obstacles, stumps, logs, rough terrain, pits and railroad tracks.
When it is necessary to cross an obstacle, proceed at an angle with caution, decelerate,

downshift, keep the machine balanced during maneuver and always move slowly.
When faced with a steep decline, use the lowest gear possible before proceeding.
Avoid traversing a slope diagonally, maneuver end over end (from high point to low and
visa versa). Should the machine slide laterally while maneuvering, turn the wheel to the
base of the slope immediately and allow it to roll back slowly until control is re-assumed.
Factors to take into consideration before traversing a slope are terrain conditions,
machine load, vehicle condition, speed and visibility.
At anytime the operator has limited visibility of the work area, it is necessary to employ a
ground guide that can communicate through hand and arm signals, all necessary
information. The ground guide must stay out of the immediate work area but must maintain
eye contact with the operator at all times.
Extinguish all flammable materials prior to checking or re-fueling the gas tank. Do not
use matches, lighters or other fire sources to illuminate the tank area. Shut off engine
prior to fueling tank.
If it is necessary to work in an area with power lines, take every precaution required to
avoid the risk of electrocution.

Take into consideration that while working in the vicinity of power lines, the bucket or drum
can be raised in any direction and contact lines that are at the minimum height
requirements.
Maintain the maximum distance possible and know your position at all times while working
near power lines. At anytime you make contact with a power line, do not touch any metallic
items of the machine. The operator must choose an area adjacent to the machine that has
not been affected and jump to it.
It is the responsibility of the site supervisor to incorporate safety measures while working
in the vicinity of power lines apart from the electric company if notified or if involved in the
work area. The site supervisor can be the machine operator, machine owner, any third
party or legal person who might have leased or transferred employment of the machine or
to be responsible for it on that date.
It is advisable to contact the electric company or nearest branch office prior to

commencing work. Establish the safety precaution to adopt along with the company
authority.
Ensure all national safety regulations are respected while working in the proximity of
power lines.
Consider that all lines are live even if told or advised otherwise.
Prior to working in a tunnel or enclosed environment, ensure that there is an adequate

ventilation system to filter out exhaust fumes and dust.
A simple way is to attach a hose to the exhaust and place the other end outside the
enclosed area. Open doors and windows of the cabin to facilitate ventilation along with
donning a mask.
Whenever getting on/off the machine, always do so facing the machine and never with your
back to it.
Do not give directional signals to the machine operator at the same time as another.
Signals must be given by one person and one person only.
Always follow the orders of those responsible.
Avoid interfering with maneuvering operations so as not to disturb or create confusion

with given orders.
Do not scream at or scare the operator to gain attention unless an emergency exists.
Do not throw objects from the machine, even in jest.

4-4 SHUT DOW N W ARNINGS
Whenever you wish to stop the machine, it is necessary to follow the illustrated guidance
for MACHINE AND MOTOR SHUT DOWN.
Place the Multi-Function Control Arm in “NEUTRAL”, block command control levers and
apply hand brake.
Under no circumstances leave the motor running un-attended.
Choose a parking area free from other operating vehicles.
Choose a solid level area to park. If it is not possible, position the machine cross-
sectional on the slope, ensuring that it is unlikely to slide. Apply the hand brake.
To avoid accidental or unauthorized starts, always take the keys out of the ignition when
leaving the vehicle.
Anytime it is not possible to avoid or control the flow of traffic in your work area, employ
prescribed safety devices (barriers, flares, flags, and other safety markers) that signal
your presence to motorists and pedestrians.
Do not move any mechanical devices without being properly seated in the Operator’s
Turret. Sound the horn and continually check that the work area is clear of personnel.
Always block control devices and lock the machine during all stops, even temporary. Turn
the keys over to the appropriate person ensuring that all after operational checks have
been completed and apply the hand brake.
5-4 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

advancement of the machine can only be achieved through two distinct actions: moving
the Multi-Function Control Arm and the presence of an operator in the seat.
When you release pressure from the accelerator pedal, the machine will come to a stop.
When changing the speed (High/Low) using the Multi-function control arm, the machine
will hesitate abruptly, independent from the accelerator pedal.
OPERATOR’S INVERSION MICROSW ITCH

The direction of travel is determined by the position of the Turret at that moment. (Work or
Transport).
LOADER ARM BLOCK

When applied to the raised loader arm, it prevents
accidental lowering of the arm when in transit or
transport.
TURRET ROTATION BLOCK

Allows the Operator’s Turret to be blocked for work
and transport. Rotating the Turret until it stops will
permit block insertion.

SEAT BELT
Must always be fastened when operating the machine.
DRUM SLEW ING BLOCK

When inserted, will not allow the drum to slew. The block
inserts automatically when the drum frame is parallel to
the direction of movement. Always ensure that the block
in engaged during transport, and loading.
ACOUSTICAL REVERSE ALARM

This alarm sounds when the machine is placed into reverse for movement. Its design
automatically senses for changes in Turret position, which changes the sense of
direction.
ACOUSTICAL ALARM / DRUM ROTATION IMPACT MICROSW ITCH

While the drum is slewing from the unloading position to the transport position, the alarm
sounds when a possible impact may occur between the drum and the bucket. This can be
avoided if the bucket is lowered halfway when slewing the drum.

Fuel System and Tank Purging
Engine Start/Stop
“Breaking In” Period
Lubrication and Lubricants
Maintenance Timelines
2-5 “BREAKING-IN”
Every AMOG machine is field-tested using all it’s components prior to shipping.
Therefore, upon arrival, the required “Breaking In” period is 50 hours of operational use.
During the “Breaking In” period operate with light to medium loads and at reduced
speeds. This will allow the oil and hydraulic systems to reach normal operating
temperature evenly.
Allow the cooling system to reach normal operating temperature prior to maximizing the
efforts of the machine.
Unless braking for an emergency situation, do not make sudden stops while the machine
is under stress and the engine is not at normal operating temperature.
For maintenance operations during the “Breaking In” period, refer to the Maintenance
Timelines section of the manual.
The machine’s hour counter is located on the

Operator’s console.
W hen changing the filters, check inside for metal
particles; if there is an excess of fine metal particles (like dust), contact the
AMOG Service Center.

ch. 6. I NSTR UMENTA TI ON A ND C ONTR OL S
The Operator’s skill and judgment impacts on the safety for himself/herself and others in
the vicinity of the machine. It is imperative that the Operator knows the position and
function of all machine controls.
Every machine has it’s limitations: before operation, familiarize yourself with it’s abilities,
characteristics, velocity, braking, steering, stability and load capabilities. The following is
a well-defined illustrated overview of the machine’s controls and instruments:

a air purge device. So placing water into the one will fill both quickly
and eliminate bubbling.

ch. 7. OPER A TI NG I NSTR UC TI ONS
It is essential that Operator’s of this machine are familiar with all of the controls. The
operator must handle and become used to the particularities of the machine in both the
Work and Transport phase.
This section is an advanced guide for those Operators who already have a firm grasp of
the machine’s functions and can quickly identify the following items.
1-7 VERIFY MACHINE READINESS
Ensure that the machine is in a proper state for operation.
Verify that all maintenance requirements stated in the manual have been performed
including those sections regarding “Breaking In” and Scheduled Timelines.
If repairs have been performed, check the repaired item to ensure that it is connected and
functioning properly.
2-7 W HEEL ALIGNMENT
Before moving the machine, it is essential to verify that the wheels are aligned properly to
avoid an unwanted movement.
To align the wheels properly, proceed as follows:
Position lever A (fig.1) to either 4 wheel, bi-lateral or parallel. Turning the steering
wheel will move the back wheels into alignment and shut off the yellow indicator light (see
page 38) on the dashboard. Move the position lever to front wheel steering, turn steering
wheel and visually check that the front tires are in alignment. Position the lever to the
appropriate steering for your operation and from there the steering will be synchronized.
During maneuvers with front wheel steering, the rear wheels will remain parallel thanks to
a blocking valve.
3-7 Fuel System
Before doing anything with the fuel tank, ensure

that there are no open flames or anything smoking
in the area. Do not fill the tank with the engine
running and do not use matches, lighters or other
flammable sources to illuminate the area.
Both the Fuel Tank and the Hydraulic Reservoir are equipped with sealed locking caps
that minimize fluid loss in case the machine rolls over.
Ensure to use a recommended type fuel for the machine.
It is recommended to use a filtered pump system and/or a standard fuel pistol with nozzle
that can be inserted easily into the fuel tank.
To reduce condensation that could occur in the fuel tank, it is recommended to fill the tank
at the end of the day.

Always monitor the fuel level of the machine, do
not expend all of the fuel in the tank. If this
happens, you must free the system of air by using
the purge valve.
PURGING AIR FROM THE FUEL SYSTEM
Carry out an air purge from the fuel system in the following cases:
Long periods of machine stop.
After filter change.
Total fuel consumption.
To ease this operation and several others, we have installed an
access panel inside of the Operator’s cabin (top photo). Un-latch the
panel from the engine compartment and slide it out through the
Operator’s cabin.
Locate the metal lever underneath the fuel pump A. Move it up and
down several times and leave it in the up position.
Loosen the drain screw B to allow air to come out.
Repeat this process until the fuel comes out without any sign of air
bubbles.
Ensure drain screw is tightened.
4-7 Fluid Levels
Before starting the machine, check the following fluid levels:
Engine
Fuel
Coolant/Anti-Freeze
Hydraulic
Brake
Specifics concerning fluid levels can be found in the maintenance section of the manual.
5-7 Seat Adjustment
Prior to starting the machine, ensure that you

adjust and block the seat in a way that affords easy
access to all controls.
The seat is equipped with a sensor that detects the presence of an operator in
the seat.
Depending on the weight of the operator, it might be necessary to adjust the
seat suspension so the sensor will permit proper use of the machine.
To Adjust - Locate the suspension knob A and rotate clockwise for a firmer
suspension of counter clockwise for a softer suspension.

6-7 Starting the Machine
Prior to start-up, sound the horn to advise

persons in the vicinity and ensure that the area is
properly ventilated.
Check that the parking brake is applied.

Check that the multi-function control arm (forwards-backwards, slow-fast) is in
neutral (otherwise the machine might not start).
Rotate the starter key an 1/8th of a turn clockwise to open the electrical circuit.
Rotate and push the key a ¼ of a turn clockwise to pre-heat the glow plugs.
Rotate the key a ½ turn clockwise to start the engine. Once the engine is running,
release the key.
With the engine running at approx. 1000 R.P.M.s, check that the oil pressure, the battery
charge and temperature indicator lights are off.
W hen the motor is cold, fully press the accelerator

after pre-heating the glow plugs to start the
engine.
W hen the motor is warm, only press the accelerator
to one third of its limit.
Do not try to start the motor for more than 20/30

seconds.
Try again after 2 minutes to allow the starter to cool
down.
After start-up allow the engine to idle for a few minutes to let the oil heat and lubricate all
parts. This procedure is especially required in cold weather conditions.
Engine running in idle
Engine running idle will cause a decrease in temperature. Therefore, it is advised not to
leave the motor in this condition over a long period of time.
For this reason, it is necessary to shut down the engine whenever long periods of idle
running are expected. If, however, the engine is to be kept running, make certain the
correct and sufficient R.P.M.s are selected for supplying oil pressure to the engine. This
condition will be indicated as the relative indicator light on the dashboard will switch off.
7-7 Machine start-up and driving during transportation
Prior to the machine start-up adjust and secure the

seatback for maximum comfort and easy access to
the controls.

Make sure no one is in the vicinity of the machine.
Look around the machine before climbing onto it
and sound the horn to notify people.
Rotate the turret to its farthest position, thereby ensuring that the turret is correctly locked
and properly fastened.
Start up the motor by following the procedure previously described.
Place the shifter to speed position “SLOW” (Turtle Symbol) for steep roads or to position
“FAST” (Jaguar Symbol) for flat roads (see page 39).
Mechanical speed selection must only be done

while machine is stable and stopped.
By using the Multi-Function Control Arm, select machine direction (forward or reverse)
and speed (slow or fast).
Release the parking brake.
Keep the machine running until the hydraulic oil is heated.
To reduce hydraulic oil heating time in cold weather, use a panel to protect the radiator.
Raise the bucket to its end-of-travel position with the engine running above the minimum
R.P.M. for a brief period of time.
Press the accelerator to adjust the speed as required.
If the temperature is below 0°C / 32°F, it is necessary

to leave the motor running for a few minutes until
the radiator liquid is heated.
8-7 Machine start-up and operational driving
Depending on the range of visibility, proceed with

caution and always make sure people are standing
clear of the machine area. Sound the horn to notify
everyone that the machine is in transit.

9-7 Machine stop
Do not stop or park on declines unless the

machine is blocked to prevent any movement.
Before leaving the operator’s cabin set all controls
to neutral.
Release the accelerator pedal.

Gently apply the brake until the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
Place the Multi-Function Control Arm in neutral.
Apply the parking brake.
Lower the bucket (if you do not wish to use the safety arm block).
Under no circumstance should you stop the machine by using the Multi-Function Control
Arm (changing directions various times over a brief period).
10-7 Engine shut-down
Never leave the machine with the engine running.
With the engine idling, turn the key to position “0” and remove it.
Should the temperature fall below freezing, ensure

that both water and anti-freeze in the radiator are at
the proper levels.

the loads and speeds required.
The vehicle can circulate on the road whether it is empty or fully loaded, provided
its carrying capacity shown on the approval plate is observed.
Regularly check all head and tail lights and replace any burnt bulbs immediately.

1-9 TYPE APPROVAL FOR ROAD CIRCULATION IN EUROPE
In compliance with the European laws in force this vehicle is classified as an operator-run
machine.
In order to circulate on European roads it shall be subject to a so-called type-approval
test.
By virtue of the existing rules the vehicle is equipped with an additional device for hazard
signaling.
The rotating warning beacon must be on at all times when the vehicle is circulating.
The 4 way flashers (i.e. the four blinkers are all simultaneously turned on) must be applied
whenever the vehicle is stopped on the roadway and whenever it is necessary to indicate
inhibited road circulation.
Drivers who operate the machine that are not in compliance with or do not obey the laws
provided, can be prosecuted with administrative penalties.
Any documents required from the manufacturer to

register the vehicle must be requested within 12
months from the date of purchase.
ch. 10. TOWI NG

C OND I TI ONS
If the vehicle is to be used in temperatures nearing 0°C/32°F, avoid freezing of the

cooling system by checking that the radiator contains antifreeze.
Remove the radiator cap only when the engine is

switched off and cold. Then, slowly rotate the cap to
relieve the pressure before removing it completely,
thus avoiding a strong high-temperature steam
emission.
Before filling the radiator with antifreeze, flush the cooling system using an approved
product.
According to this table establish the percentage of water/antifreeze needed in relation to

the ambient temperature.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WATER ANTI-FREEZE
-15°C / -59°F 60 % 40 %
-25°C / -77 F° 50 % 50 %
-35°C / -95 F ° 40 % 60 %
After filling, let the motor idle for a few minutes to mix well.
To use the vehicle in low temperatures, also replace

the lubricants with those having an appropriate
viscosity degree. In case the ambient temperature
remains around 0°C / 32°F, drain the water from the
tanks and the pipes.
In freezing temperatures, it is necessary to drain

water from the water pump. Ice could form in the
pump and cause damage. The drain valve is
located at the base of the pump as indicated by
the arrow.

If the vehicle has not been run for a long period of time:
Clean the vehicle thoroughly and lubricate all grease points.

Fill the fuel tank to avoid rust build-up.
Disconnect the injectors and using a syringe inject a moderate amount of motor oil after
each piston has been positioned to its lowest point.
Allow the engine to idle for a little while in order for the oil to lubricate the cylinders.
Re-connect the injectors.
To avoid deposits and corrosion, grease jack rods. Store the vehicle in a covered place
and/or an area out of the weather.
Remove the battery and store it in a place that will not become too cold and have it
recharged at least once a month.
Recharge the battery with a slow charge. Make

certain to connect the cables under the correct
polarity. Do not short any terminals.

ch. 13. OPER A TI ONA L STEPS
When operators begin to use the machine, they must be familiar with all controls. In
addition, they should also work in a relatively unfrequented area where they can train to
maneuver and operate the machine to be driven on a routine basis thereafter.
In order to obtain the maximum performance of the machine, this chapter outlines all
operational steps to be followed in compliance with all safety rules.
1. Filling with Water for Mixing (1st portion).

2. Loading of Cement
3. Loading of Aggregates.
4. Adding Water to the Mixture (Final Portion).
5. Unloading Concrete.
6. Bucket, Drum and Chute Washing.
The machine operates with the turret rotated

towards the drum.
It is absolutely forbidden to get on the exterior of
the machine when it is mixing.
1-13 FILLING W ITH W ATER FOR MIXING (1st PORTION)
There are two separate systems designed to manage mixing water operations;
¾ An External Source (tanks, cisterns, pools).
¾ The Machine Reservoirs.
The first system permits both machine reservoir filling and direct drum filling and is the
preferred method for introducing water in mass amounts for the mixture.
The second system allows only for drum filling and is the preferred method to adjust the
mixture that requires only small quantities of water.
FILLING FROM AN EXTERNAL SOURCE
Place the ball end of the hose into union A, insert the filter end
of the hose into the external source, make sure that lever B is in
position 2.
If you wish to directly fill the drum with water, place lever C into
position 3.
If you wish to fill the machine reservoir, place lever C into
position 1.

FILLING FROM MACHINE RESERVOIR
With reservoir full, bring lever B into position 1.

If you wish to directly fill the drum with water, place lever C into
position 3.
If you wish to use the water hose, place lever C into position 2.
W ATER-TRANSFER PUMP ACTUATION
Ensure all control levers are in neutral, especially the water-pump control lever.
Start the engine.

Rotate the drum for mixing.
Increase rotation speed to max.
Accelerate the engine using the manual accelerator to 2/3rds of its total power.
Start the transfer pump by placing the lever into position 1 (see picture).
Using the water meter, check the water amount that is being introduced (should be
60/70% of the total during this phase).
Obtain the optimum water quantity.
Make certain that there is always enough water both

in the external well and/or the machine reservoir.
2-13 CEMENT LOADING
CEMENT IN SACKS
Keep the drum rotating at its maximum speed.
Lift the bucket about a foot and a half off the ground to use it in a slightly closed
position.
Calculate the cement quantity to load.
Manually load the cement from the sacks into the bucket one at a time.
Remove the sacks’ paper.
Lift the arm to the maximum height.
Wait for the cement to flow inside the drum.

CEMENT IN SILOS

Lift the bucket arm to the maximum height.
Position yourself under the unloading point of the silo.
Calculate the cement quantity to load.
Unload the material into the drum by means of the silo’s
measuring system.
3-13 LOADING OF AGGREGATES
PILED/HEAPED
Align the wheels following the procedure in section 2.8.

Place the steering selection lever to position “2” to select front-wheel
steering.
Lower the arm previously lifted.
Select slow speed on shifter for work and slow on the Multi-Function Control Arm.
As the arm enters into the pile, lift the arm simultaneously so that the arm can load
more material and lift itself quicker. In doing so, use the Inching pedal to optimize
the bucket loading capacity.
Bring the arm to its maximum height.
Stop the machine.
Wait for the aggregate to flow inside the drum. Move towards the pile again
lowering the arm at the same time.
Repeat these operations in a way that best loads the drum and meets desired
amount.
The vehicle can change directions even if it is not

completely stopped.
W hen loading piled aggregates, ONLY USE FRONT-
W HEEL STEERING.
USING BATCH PLANTS ( All Aggregates )

Lift the bucket arm to its maximum height.
Position yourself under the unloading point of the Batch Plant.
Calculate the cement quantity, aggregates and water (if applicable) by means of
the Batch Plant’s measuring system.
Fill the drum.

4-13 ADDING W ATER TO THE MIXTURE (FINAL PORTION)
Keep the drum rotating at its maximum speed for approximately 5 minutes after loading the
aggregate mixture.
Load the remaining part of water (i.e. 30% of the total) following the procedures outlined
in the previous section. In this way you can achieve the desired fluidity grade that can be
checked by discharging a small quantity of concrete onto the chute and visually inspecting
the consistency. This is usually done after the machine has been moved from the loading
to the unloading area.
CONCRETE UNLOADING FROM THE CHUTE

Use the slewing feature as often as possible. This will decrease on maneuvering,
wear and tear to the machine and the complete cycle of the operation, saving
time.
Keep the drum rotating in the mixing direction (clockwise).

Approach the unloading area.
Stop the machine as previously described.
Always have the Multi-Function Control Arm in

neutral.
Lift lever A to un block chute B.

Orient chute B to the correct unloading position.
Use lever C on the operator’s dashboard to adjust the chute height.
The control acts on the chute-inclining cylinder.
Attach any extensions (if required) and lock chute B using lever A.
Increase motor’s R.P.M. to medium.
For unloading operations, reverse the drum’s rotating direction
using the cabin controls or the external hand-held control device (optional
accessory).
Accelerate the motor and regulate the drum’s rotating speed. The unloading
speed depends on the motor’s R.P.M., the drum’s rotating speed, its lifting
position as well as the fluidity grade of the concrete.
If needed, lift the drum, but not necessarily to its maximum height.
Visually inspect that the concrete is being constantly unloaded.
Once the unloading operations have been completed and in order to move on
to the next area, follow these instructions:
Lower the drum if it is still relatively full.
Select drum rotation for the mixing process (clockwise rotation).
Approach and position in the new unloading area and follow all steps previously
mentioned.

If another operator outside the machine supports
the unloading operations, be VERY carefully when
maneuvering the vehicle.
Unloading operations in formworks – slewing
In order to unload the concrete in formworks or foundations with a lateral discharge,

operate as follows:
Keep the drum rotating in the mixing direction (clockwise rotation).

Approach the unloading area with a forwarding line parallel to the
unloading/discharging zone. Stop the machine and place the Multi-Function
Control Arm in neutral. Place any extensions on to the unloading chute.
Bring the motor’s R.P.M. to medium.
Use the control lever (shown in photo) to orient the drum.
For unloading operations, reverse the drum’s rotating direction using the cabin
controls or the external hand-held control device (optional accessory).
Any unbalance in the machine’s weight may alter its

stability. Proceed with caution when slewing the
drum.
Orient the chute to the correct unloading position.

Accelerate the motor and regulate the drum’s rotating speed. The unloading speed
depends on the motor’s R.P.M., the drum’s rotating speed, its lifting position as
well as the fluidity grade of the concrete.
If needed, lift the drum, but not necessarily to its maximum height.
Visually inspect that the concrete is being constantly unloaded.
Proceed slowly in the desired driving direction avoiding sudden braking.
W hen operating on slopes, do not slew with the

unloading chute turned downward.
Avoid steep slopes when slewing with the rotating frame.
Make certain you have maximum visibility when maneuvering. Otherwise ask for
ground guide. W hile standing outside, the ground guide shall follow the
machine during its moving operations.

CONCRETE UNLOADING FROM THE MANHOLE COVER
In case of a failure to the drum’s rotation system and the drum cannot be moved in either
direction, empty the drum to avoid concrete hardening.
Try to elevate the drum by using the telescopic lift. This will position
the concrete closer to the manhole.
Disconnect the motor-feeding hydraulic pipes from the drum.
Manually rotate the drum using belts as an aid.
Rotate until the manhole cover is on the side of the drum and remove
the bolts.
Remove the cover.
Rotate the drum until the manhole is at the lowest point to unload the
remaining concrete.
Additionally, to assist in the unloading of the concrete add water by
means of the water transfer pump as previously described.
On completion of the unloading operation, wash the drum’s internal mixing blades
thoroughly.
W hen inspecting the drum through the manhole,

NEVER introduce your arms or any other parts of
your body.
6-13 BUCKET, DRUM AND CHUTE W ASHING
Select drum rotation for the mixing process (clockwise rotation).

Introduce enough water into the drum as previously outlined in order to
remove concrete remains (you may also use a load of clean gravel).
Place the diverting valve C to position “2”.
Wash the bucket, the drum and the chute as well as any other parts that
normally become dirty with concrete.
Lift the drum.

Shift drum’s rotation from mix to unload.
Discharge the water previously introduced into the drum and rinse the chute and
the extensions.
Remove extensions.
Lower the bucket and wash it both inside and out.
Stop the machine following the procedures previously described.
Machine washing may be performed only

from the ground. Climbing on the machine
is strongly discouraged.

ch. 14. C OMPOSI TI ON F OR C ONC R ETE
- Recommended operating cycle:
1. Fill with about 70% of water required for your desired load and mixture.
2. Commence rotation of drum for mixing and load all cement required.
3. Load ½ of the gravel required.
4. Load ½ of the sand required.
5. Load remaining gravel required.
6. Load remaining sand required.
7. Fill the remaining 30% of water required (before unloading/casting).
During concrete production bear in mind that volumes and weights of the single
components always change in relation to the breaking load. The characteristics of the
product to make and the actual operator’s experience will impact on this process.
With various modifications and innovations that have been made to concrete comes
variations and modifications in aggregate composition and quantity as well as admixtures
and lets not forget water which all have to be proportioned. Our machine offers you the
ability to create the specific mix that you want based on the standards and ratios that you
introduce into our machine. Because there is no one set standard to follow that would
properly cover all aspects of proportioning cement, sand, gravel, water and admixture(s),
we recommend that you follow the outlines given by the manufacturer of the cement or the
standards set by the official overseeing the construction.

ch. 15. MA I NTENA NC E
1-15 FOREW ORD
Maintenance operation deadlines as reported in this chapter are meant for machines that
are run under normal operating conditions.
During machine “Breaking-In” or under particular conditions these deadlines may vary
accordingly. The purpose of this chapter is to list and select all operations that are
carried out on the same period. In this way, procedures can be eased and the machine will
undergo shorter periods of inactivity.
Read all safety rules under chapter 4 carefully,

especially the ones referring to as general and
specific MAINTENANCE W ARNINGS.
Always support and block the bucket arm when performing maintenance under it.
Before and after lubrication, clean any covers, lubricating points and caps to avoid
particles from entering.
Lubrication is fundamental for preventive maintenance, as machine life highly depends on
it. Therefore, it is extremely important to follow the instructions outlined in this manual both
as to the lubricant usage and maintenance operation terms.
Avoid environmental pollution. National and

international laws classify lubricants, fluids,
coolants and impregnated filters as harmful and
polluting waste. Storage and disposal thereof is
provided for by ad hoc facilities.
2-15 EXTERNAL VISUAL INSPECTION
Before commencing work each day or at the end of every working day, it is advisable to
briefly check the machine to note and intervene on those malfunctions and troubles that are
detected. This will reduce maintenance expenses as well as machine inactivity. Inspect the
following areas:
Arm-bucket pivoting points

Hydraulic system and hoses.
Loose parts and instruments.
Engine and Radiator.
Tires.
Axles, U-Joints and Shifter.
Studs and Hydraulic Jacks.

The brake fluid reservoir is located inside of the rotating turret column under the
Operator’s seat. To ease access, rotate the turret half way, un-clamp the seat lock and
lift the chair frame. Check that the level is sufficient at start-up.
For replenishing, use only the liquid indicated

in the TABLE OF LIQUIDS. Usage of non-
approved liquids will damage the braking
system.
Always check that ALL braking elements work properly.
In the event of malfunctions and failures contact

or visit your nearest AMOG AUTHORIZED
SERVICE CENTER.
Should you drain oil from the braking system, follow the instructions under this
manual carefully.
CHECKING AND INFLATING TIRES
Make certain tires have been properly inflated as indicated by the manufacturer.
Check tire pressure when they are cold to avoid under inflation.
Never inflate the tires using flammable gases.

Deflate the tire before removing any foreign
objects embedded in the rubber. Check and
tighten the lug nuts before the beginning of each
shift.
Incorrect inflation may cause tire malfunctions and failures. Therefore, avoid inflating the
tires either insufficiently or excessively.
W ARNING-LIGHT CHECK ON THE OPERATOR’S DASHBOARD
Before commencing work it is always necessary to check the indicator lights on the
operator’s dashboard after turning the starter key a quarter. If the indicator lights remain
lit after start-up, there is a failure and work cannot be initiated.
The most important of the indicator lights to check are:
Low Engine Oil Pressure.

Low Battery Charge.
Hydrostatic Feed.

Before performing any maintenance operations on
the machine except for special procedures
expressly listed, always shut-off the engine.
Oils, filters, coolants and the battery are regarded as special waste and must
therefore be recycled and disposed of in conformity with anti-pollution rules.
GREASING POINTS
Shutdown the machine completely as indicated in

the manual.
Lower the bucket arm before performing any
maintenance operations.
Use a hard bristle brush to remove foreign matter.

Introduce grease into the greasing points using the appropriate pump as indicated on
page 74.
To ease in greasing the Drive Shaft and the Swivel ring, make sure the drum is empty and
raised then lubricate the swivel ring gear teeth and the respective pinion using grease or
an equivalent lubricant.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECKING AND REPLENISHING
Open the hood only after shutting-down the engine.

If the indicator light “low engine oil” is on, or for the purpose of a daily check, follow the
subsequent instructions:
Park the machine on a flat area.
Shutdown the engine.

Wait approximately 10 minutes before performing the check.
Use the appropriate stick to check oil level.
Unscrew the oil filler cap.
If necessary, top up with oil to reach the appropriate level.
Screw on the oil filler cap.
Idle the engine for about 10 to15 seconds.
Shutdown the engine and wait approximately 10 minutes.
Check maximum oil level again.
Use only lubricating oils recommended by the

manufacturer as shown in the table of lubricants.

HYDRAULIC FLUID LEVEL CHECKING AND REPLENISHING

Check that fluid level covers at least half of the inspection port.
A – Level.
B – Reservoir Purge.
C - Return filter and fluid replenishing point
If replenishing is required, loosen the bolts on the filter cover C and

fill with the right amount of fluid.
Use only lubricating fluids that are recommended

by the manufacturer as shown in the table of
lubricants.
CLEANING ENGINE AIR FILTER (Daily)
Squeeze the lower part of the separator to let accumulated dust escape.
DRUM, BUCKET AND CHUTE CLEANING
For this cleaning procedure see pg. 61.
CHECKING AND REPLENISHING COOLANT LEVEL
Open the hood only after shutting-down the

engine.
As the fluid is pressurized, slightly rotate the filling
cap to discharge the pressure before removing it.
Do not remove the cap if the engine is still hot.

Wait until the liquid has reached ambient temperature.
Slowly loosen the cap and check that the liquid can be seen in the filling
tank. If not, top up until proper level is reached.
Use only the coolant recommended by the

manufacturer as shown in the TABLE OF LIQUIDS
(correct percentage of water and antifreeze).
