Internal Flo-Fuse™
With a continuing emphasis on safety, McNeilus recommends its internal Flo-Fuse. The internal
Flo-Fuse is located on the inside of the McNeilus replacement chute lift cylinder. This protects the
Flo-Fuse from damage and concrete build up. If the Flo-Fuse sees a sudden, abnormal increase
in flow, it will close and stop the cylinder from retracting.
This will stop your chutes.
The internal Flo-Fuse is now standard on all McNeilus
replacement chute lift cylinders for McNeilus Mixers. All
owners of McNeilus Mixers should ensure they have a
McNeilus replacement chute lift cylinder with the internal
Flo-Fuse on each of their McNeilus Mixers.

Hydraulic System - How It Works
1. Pressure Compensated (PC) pump
a. The PC pump draws oil from the reservoir
as required
a. COMPENSATED PRESSURE flows into the
control block and moves into 3 areas within
the block:
1. One route directs compensated pressure to the closed center chute lift block
section
b. The PC pump develops pressure respective
to the compensator setting
1. This is called COMPENSATED PRESSURE
2. One route directs a flow of oil at compensated pressure to the Directional
Valve.
2. Compensated pressure has a +3,000
PSI range capability
3. One route directs a flow of oil at compensated pressure to the PRV 2 valve
3. The compensator is fully adjustable
c.
With the exception of internal leakage, the
pump only develops flow when the large
cylinder is in motion or the chute is being
raised
b. COMPENSATED PRESSURE to the directional valve
1. When the down position is activated,
the Directional Valve directs a flow of oil
at compensated pressure to the trailer
latch and PTS. The trailer latch opens
and the spool of the PTS shifts against
the PTS spring. This flow is via hose as
the PTS is located in the hi-flow block
on the barrel end of the large cylinder
1. You can check the bypass gauge on the
hi-pressure filter ONLY when the large
cylinder is being extended or retracted.
a. This would be a maximum flow situation
d. The PC pump develops approximately 1
GPM of leakage which is routed back to the
reservoir
e. Oil flows at compensated pressure from the
PC pump through the hi-pressure filter
2. Hi-Pressure Filter
a. The oil flow flows through the Bridgemaster
filter element trapping particles of contamination
b. If the element becomes full, the bypass will
open. This allows oil to flow directly through
the filter head without flowing through the
filter.
1. The bypass becomes functional any
time the OUTLET PRESSURE IS 50
PSI BELOW THE INLET PRESSURE.
At the same time, the indicator will read
“bypass”. You can only read the indicator when the large cylinder is being
extended or retracted.
c.
The oil flow continues to the Bridgemaster
III control block at compensated pressure
3. Control Block - COMPENSATED PRESSURE
TO REGULATED PRESSURE
© 2/98 McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing Co. All Rights Reserved
c.
COMPENSATED PRESSURE to the PRV 2
1. The PRV 2 REDUCES COMPENSATED
PRESSURE from the Cessna pump to
the setting of the PRV 2
2. This new lower pressure from the PRV
2 is called “REGULATED” or
“REDUCED” pressure
d. This flow of reduced pressure travels to the
hi-flow block on the cylinder barrel end via
hose between the control block and hi-flow
block
4. Hi-Flow Block
a. The PTS valve receives an oil flow of
REDUCED PRESSURE from the PRV 2
flow and directs it to the barrel end of large
cylinder. This happens when the down trailer position is selected and an oil flow of
pilot pressure from the directional control
valve shifts the PTS’s spool against its
spring
1. With no pilot pressure, the spring holds
the PTS spool in its normal position
which blocks off regulated pressure and
exposes the large cylinder barrel end to
tank (trailer up)
Hydraulic System - How It Works
1
Hydraulic System - How It Works
b. At any time there is pressure in the large
cylinder barrel end, the pressure is also
exposed to the Hl-PRESSURE RELIEF
VALVE. Should the pressure exceed 3,300
PSI, the hi-pressure relief valve will open
and dump directly to the reservoir. This protects the systems from damage due to high
pressure.
c.
An oil flow of COMPENSATED PRESSURE
also flows from the hi-flow block to the
LATCH CYLINDER. This flow is tee’d from
the PTS pilot flow inside the hi-flow block
which arrives from the directional control
valve. The latch cylinder responds to
approximately 50-60 PSI whereas the PTS
spool responds to 175 PSI. Thus the latch
cylinder will open before the PTS shifts to
let the trailer down.
d. A drain line from the CB 4 cartridge also
joins the tank drain internally in the hi-flow
block
5. CB 4 Block
a. The CB 4 block mounts on the rod end of
the large cylinder
b. The CB 4 block contains a CB 4 cartridge
and a check valve
1. The CB 4 cartridge is sensitive to pressure differences between the cylinder
rod end and regulated pressure port on
the CB 4 block assembly. If the regulated pressure on the CB 4 block is lower
than the regulated pressure in the cylinder barrel end, the CB 4 cartridge will
close. This traps oil in the cylinder rod
end and terminates cylinder movement.
Previous CB 1 and CB 3 valves
requires pilot pressure for operation. All
CB cartridge installations or replacements should utilize the CB 4 block
assembly.
2.
2
The CHECK VALVE allows a flow of
reduced pressure toward the cylinder
rod end only. For the oil to flow from the
cylinder rod end, it must flow through
the CB 4 cartridge. The CB 4 also controls the down speed of the cylinder as
the opening through the CB 4 cartridge
is a specific size. This is not adjustable.
Hydraulic System - How It Works
c.
A hydraulic hose is routed from the end of
the CB 4 cartridge to the hi-flow block. This
hose accumulates any normal leakage from
the CB 4 cartridge and routes it to tank
through the hi-flow block.
6. Trailer Down Operation
a. A flow of oil travels from the pump through
the filter (compensated pressure) to the
control block. The PRV 2 reduces the pressure to the amount required by the system.
The reduced pressure oil flows through the
PTS which was shifted by pilot pressure
from the directional valve. Oil which flows
through the PTS valve flows directly into the
barrel end of the cylinder. Because of a difference of area exposed to reduced pressure, the cylinder extends and the
Bridgemaster III trailer goes down
b. Reduced pressure flow in the rod end of the
cylinder leaves the cylinder through the CB
4 cartridge and returns to rejoin the oil flowing to the cylinder through the PTS in the
hi-flow block.
c.
The check valve remains closed during trailer down cycle
7. Trailer Up Operation
a. There is no flow through the directional
valve when the trailer up switch is activated
so the PTS in the hi-flow block drains the
barrel end of the large cylinder to tank. A
flow of oil travels from the pump through the
filter (compensated pressure) to the control
block. The PRV 2 reduces the pressure to
the amount required by the system.
b. A flow of oil at reduced pressure travels
through the hi-flow block from the control
block to the CB 4 block. The CB 4 is closed
as oil cannot flow through the CB 4 in that
direction.
c.
The reduced pressure oil flow opens the CK
valve in the CB 4 block and flows into the
rod end of the large cylinder. The cylinder
barrel end is drained to tank through the
PTS. With oil flowing into the rod end of the
cylinder at reduced pressure, the cylinder
retracts and the trailer goes up.

BRIDGEMASTER OR TUCK-A-WEIGH CUSTOMER INFORMATION BULLETIN HIGH PRESSURE FILTERS
A high pressure filter is installed on your Bridgemaster III or Tuck-A-Weigh. The hydraulic system on these units develop flow only when the Bridgemaster III or Tuck-A-Weigh cylinder extends. This is also the only time oil flows through
the high pressure filter and the only time the gauge on the high pressure filter will indicate normal (Green) or bypass
(Red) situation. If the gauge indicates a bypass (Red) situation the oil is not being filtered adequately and your system
may become contaminated and cause a malfunction.
A replacement filter element with a beta rating of B7 = 200 is required to adequately filter the hydraulic oil. Replacement
high pressure elements are available through your McNeilus branch. Order McNeilus P/N 140.108553. A filter element
with a lower beta rating will not filter adequately.
The O-Ring (100.108554) should also be replaced when the filter is replaced. Apply a light film of clean oil to the gasket before reinstalling.
Your older McNeilus Bridgemaster may have a larger filter element (140.106553) and O-ring (100.106554). This is a
model 30P filter. A tag on the filter will contain a model number.
!
WARNING
Be sure all pressure is relieved in the Bridgemaster or Tuck-A-Weigh system before the filter is serviced.

Bridgemaster III Hydraulic System
COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS
1. Control Block
A. Bridgemaster Directional (Parker Valve)
Function: Directs pressure and flow to latch cylinder and pilot-to-shift directional valve to allow
Bridgemaster to raise or lower. Also used on Flow
Stop Block or can be added to current block for
flow stop function.
Failure symptom: Bridgemaster will not change
direction. Valve will not shift because of bad switch
connection, failed coil or sticking spool.
B. Adjustable Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV2)
Function: Adjusts and maintains correct down
pressure (regulated pressure).
Failure symptom: System will not develop desired
pressure. Pressure erratic or unstable caused from
sticking or binding spool. Can be cleaned with
WD40™ or equivalent and reused.
C. Chute Up or Down Solenoid and Cartridge
(Current Block) (3W2P Cartridge)
Function: (Up Cartridge): Allows oil flow to raise
chute when coil is energized. (Down Cartridge):
Allows oil flow to unseat Pilot-Operated Check so
oil can leave the chute-lift cylinder.
2. High Flow Block (Barrel end of BM Cylinder)
A. Pilot-to Shift Orifice
Function: Provides smooth shifting of pilot-to-shift
directional valve spool.
Failure symptom: Bridgemaster will not change
direction because of plugged orifice.
B. Pilot-To-Shift Valve (PTS)
Function: Normal position connects barrel end of
cylinder to tank, allowing Bridgemaster trailer to
raise. Shifted position connects regulated pressure
to barrel end of cylinder, forcing Bridgemaster trailer down.
Failure symptom: Bridgemaster trailer will not
change direction. Spool not shifting because of
plugged pilot orifice, binding or jammed spool from
system contamination.
C. High Pressure Relief Valve
Function: Prevents pressure in barrel end of cylinder from exceeding 3300 PSI in abrupt grade
changes and rough roads or if accumulator charge
is low or flat.
Failure symptom: System will not develop desired
pressure if spool is stuck open.
3. Rod End Control Block (CB4)
Failure symptom: Chutes won’t move up or down
depending on cartridge affected. Can be cleaned
with WD40™ and reused. Also check coil for
magnetism when energized.
D. Pilot-Operated Check (PO CK)
Function: Holds chute in position.
Failure symptom: Chute drifts.
E. Chute Speed Control (See page 11)
Function: Control chute up and down speed.
• UP Speed Control - CW = slower
CCW = faster
• DN Speed Control - CW = faster
CCW = slower
Failure Symptom: Chute speed non adjustable
F. Chute Pressure Switch
Function: Senses chute not fully lowered.
A. Check Valve
Function: Allows free flow during Bridgemaster up
mode. Blocks flow in Bridgemaster down mode.
Failure symptom: Bridgemaster will not stop or
hold in mid-stroke position, or Bridgemaster moves
too fast in down mode. Failure is caused by system
contamination holding check valve open. If check
valve fails in the closed position, the axle will not
raise.
B. Counterbalance Valve
Function: Prevents Bridgemaster from being
lowered or dropping when truck is turned off, and
limits the speed the Bridgemaster can be lowered.
Failure symptom: Bridgemaster will not stop or
hold in mid-stroke position, caused by contamination holding the valve open. If check valve fails in
the closed position, the axle will not raise.
Failure symptom: BM trailer won’t move, red dash
light on. (Red dash light may also be caused by
faulty chute swing Prox or chute not centered.)

Bridgemaster Trailer System Electrical Troubleshooting
!
WARNING
Before lowering the Bridgemaster trailer, turn the
PRV-2 (Pressure Reducing Valve) fully counterclockwise to itís minimum gauge pressure of approximately 1,000 - 1,100 psi.
!
WARNING
Anytime you are working on this equipment or its
related systems, you must do the following:
1. Inform the truck driver that the equipment is
going to be repaired and locked out and that he
must not attempt to start the truck.
2. Follow all OSHA and Mixer Lock Out procedures.
Remove the keys from the truck’s ignition.
3. Place magnetic signs on both doors of the truck
which read:
“CAUTION - MAN WORKING ON MIXER - DO
NOT START ENGINE”
4. Lock out supplies are available from McNeilus
Truck and Manufacturing. Call (507) 374-6321 for
assistance.
!
WARNING
Always be sure the area behind the mixer is clear of
people or other obstacles when raising or lower the
trailer.
console is on, this indicates that the chutes are not centered or are not fully lowered.
Provided that the chutes are centered, the electrical current next travels to the chute pressure switch located on
the rear of the main control block. This block is located
directly behind the cab on the driverís side Bridgemaster
frame rail.
If the chutes are raised, the resulting pressure in the
chute hoist hydraulic line will activate the chute pressure
switch, opening (eliminating) the circuit, and the
Bridgemaster trailer will not lower. If the red indicator
light on the in-cab console is on, the chutes are not fully
lowered or are not centered.
If the chutes are both centered and in the full down position, the electrical current next travels to the
Bridgemaster activate switch located on the in-cab console.
With the in-cab control console activate switch pressed,
move the up/down switch in the direction that you want
the trailer to move.
When all of the above circuits are active, the electrical
current is sent to the hydraulic solenoid directional valve
(the Parker valve) located on the top, driverís side of the
main control block (the Combo block). The trailer will
then raise or lower as directed by the up/down switch.
THE OPTIONAL MID-POSITION START/STOP SWITCH
NOTE: The chutes must be in the full down position or
the trailer will not raise or lower.
NOTE: The chutes must be centered or the trailer will
not raise or lower.
NOTE: Always use Dielectric grease on Weather-PakÆ
connections.
THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT
The electrical power for the Bridgemaster trailer
raise/lower function begins at the control console. Older
Bridgemaster units have a 5 amp resettable circuit
breaker on the front of the console. Current production
units have a 5 amp ATO fuse inside the passenger side
of the console.
12 volts travels directly from the console to the proximity
switch located at the main chute pivot. If the chutes are
not centered, the proximity switch opens eliminating the
electrical circuit and the Bridgemaster trailer will not
raise or lower. If the red indicator light on the in-cab
© 2/98 McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing Co. All Rights Reserved
The optional mid-position start/stop switch allows you to
stop the trailer during the up or down cycle. This is
accomplished by interrupting the hydraulic flow prior to
the Bridgemaster up/down hydraulic solenoid directional
valve.
NOTE: When the mid-position start/stop switch is in the
stop position, the Bridgemaster trailer and the chutes will
be inoperative. The in-cab hydraulic pressure gauge will
read zero pressure and placing the transmission in
reverse will not raise the Bridgemaster trailer. As an
example: If the trailer was moving down before the
Bridgemaster mid-position switch was activated to stop
the trailer, the trailer will continue to move down when
the Bridgemaster mid-position switch is moved to the
ìonî position. If the trailer is moving down and the truck
transmission is placed in reverse, the trailer will change
direction and will go up.
Bridgemaster Trailer System Electrical Troubleshooting
23
Bridgemaster Trailer System Electrical Troubleshooting
!
WARNING
Anytime the mid-position start/stop switch is in the
“on” position and the truck transmission is placed in
reverse gear, the Bridgemaster trailer will raise
bypassing the proximity centering switch and the
chute pressure switches. This can cause severe
damage to the chutes and other components unless
the chutes are centered and fully lowered.
BRIDGEMASTER TRAILER WILL NOT RAISE OR
LOWER
1. If there is no voltage present, check the
fuse or check the wire.
2. If voltage is present, check the position
of the proximity switch (1/4” air gap) or
replace proximity switch.
IF THE RED LIGHT IS OFF:
A. Make sure the mid-position switch is in the “on” position.
Quick Checks if the Red Light is On:
1. There should be pressure showing on the cab
gauge.
A. Are the chutes in the full down position?
2. The chutes should move up and down.
B. Are the chutes centered (pointing directly to the
rear)?
B. Make sure the truck transmission is not in reverse.
C. If there is no hydraulic pressure on the cab gauge:
IF THE RED LIGHT STAYS ON:
1. Make sure the pump drive shaft is turning.
A. Unplug the Weather-PakÆ connector for the chute
pressure switch located on the passenger side of the
main control block.
2. Remove the PRV-2 valve (pressure reducing
valve) and push the end of the valve “in” and
ìoutî several times while spraying with WD-40.
Reinstall the PRV-2 and check for system pressure (older systems may have an orifice under
the PRV-2).
1. If the Red Light goes out after unplugging the
Weather-PakÆ connector, the problem is in the
hydraulic chute system or the chute pressure
switch.
a. Remove the pressure switch and check for
“open circuit” with ohm meter. If the switch
checks good, proceed to step B.
b. Change the “up” and “down” chute cartridges around, reconnect pressure switch,
and check for proper operation of the system.
c. Bleed all air from the chute hydraulic line by
loosening the line at the cylinder (has anyone changed the cylinder?)
2. If the Red Light stays on after unplugging the
Weather-PakÆ connector, the problem is in the
proximity switch on the rear chute pivot or associated wiring.
3. Remove the hose from the inlet side of the high
pressure filter located behind the cab of the
truck. Install a 0 - 5,000 psi gauge in the line
and ìdeadheadî the pump into the gauge. Start
the truck and check the pressure reading
(approximately 2,800 - 3,000 psi). If the pressure is low, call your nearest McNeilus branch
for assistance.
Anytime you have questions on troubleshooting or repair
of your McNeilus Bridgemaster, please contact your
McNeilus branch or call the McNeilus Corporate
Headquarters at (507) 374-6321 and ask for mixer service.
a. Disconnect the wiring for the proximity
switch.
b. Check for 12 volts DC at terminal “C” (red
wire).

Cartridges
I.
The Most Common Material Used for Hydraulic
Manifolds is 6061 Aluminum
A. The aluminum blocks are drilled and threaded
on a CNC machine
E. Using the following torque specifications for final
tightening:
1. #7 Series Cartridge (7/8” Hex) ......12 ft. lbs.
2. #10 Series Cartridge (1” Hex) .......35 ft. lbs.
B. The machined block is cleaned and hard
anodized
1. Hard anodizing coats the aluminum block on
both the inside and outside with a thin surface that is acid resistant and hard as steel
II. Replacing Seals on Cartridges
A. Clean the manifold block to remove dirt and
other debris from around the cartridge
3. #16 Series Cartridge (1 1/2” Hex)..65 ft. lbs
4. #20 Series Cartridge 1 7/8” Hex) ..70 ft. lbs.
G. For solenoid valves, the coil retaining nut
should be torqued to approximately 10 in.
lbs.
NOTE: Overtightening cartridges will permanently
damage the cartridge.
B. Unscrew the cartridge from the manifold block
C. Inspect the cartridge and cartridge cavity to be
sure they are free of any o-ring fragments, chips,
or other contamination
D. Rinse the cartridge with WD-40® or an equivalent product
E. Dry the cartridge with compressed air
F. Remove and discard the work o-rings and split
back-up rings (if back-up rings are used)
G. Install new seals from the appropriate seal kit
1. Dipping each seal in clean oil before installation will aid the installation
III. Cartridge Valve Installation Procedure
A. Visually inspect the manifold block to make sure
the cavities are free of contamination including
machining burrs and chips
B. Check the cartridge valve to be sure it is free of
visible contamination
C. Be sure o-rings and/or split back-up rings (if
backup rings are used) are arranged properly on
the valve and are not damaged
D. Carefully screw the cartridge into the proper
cavity

Accumulators
A. Piston Type Accumulator
1. The piston accumulator is made of aluminum and has a two part sealing o-ring in
the center, a cast ring on each side of the
center seal, and a wiper ring on each end
of the piston
2. Any leakage from the piston type accumulator will be gradual and normally causes
no damage
3. The piston type accumulator is built into the
Tuck-A-Weigh/Bridgemaster cylinder rod
4. Because the accumulator piston is built into
the cylinder rod response time to pressure
changes are immediate and confined to the
cylinder
a. One kit will not fit all brands or styles of
accumulator systems
5. Purge air from the accumulator charge
hose
a. This prevents oxygen from entering the
accumulator
b. If oxygen enters the accumulator and
mixes with the oil during charging, an
internal accumulator ignition may result
1. The temperatures rises as the nitrogen gas is compressed and may go
high enough to ignite the oil/oxygen
mixture
B. Charging accumulators
When charging accumulators on transit mixer trailers the following safety guidelines must be followed
!
WARNING
Follow any OSHA procedures - the truck should be
“locked out” while the mechanic is working on the mixer
!
WARNING
The truck ignition key should be removed from the truck
to prevent someone from starting the truck while the
mechanic is working on the accumulator
1. The cylinder rod must be extended (trailer
on the ground) before the accumulator is
charged
2. Do not attempt to disassemble the accumulator or cylinders unless you have received
proper instruction
a. Contact McNeilus Truck and Mfg. for
instructions
“CHARGING AND GAUGING ASSEMBLY”
P/N 160.85455
If you have any questions on charging accumulators or require additional information on accumulators, contact McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing
Co., at 507-374-6321 and ask for the Mixer Service
Department.
3. Do not charge the nitrogen accumulator
until all hydraulic pressure is relieved from
the cylinder
4. Use the recommended McNeilus

TUCK-A-WEIGH CONTROL VALVE
FUNCTION:
TUCK-A-WEIGH UP:
Directs flow and pressure to
other system components for
raising and lowering the Tuck-AWeigh.
Connects pilot passages of pilotto-shift directional valve and
shuttle valve to tank. Connects
full system pressure (3000 PSI)
to fixed pressure regulating
valve tank port.
TUCK-A-WEIGH DOWN: Connects full system pressure
to pilot passages of pilot-to-shift
directional valve and
shuttle valve. Connects fixed
pressure regulating valve tank
port to tank.
FUNCTION:
Provides smooth shifting of pilotto-shift directional valve spool.
FAILURE SYMPTOM:
Tuck-A-Weigh will not change
direction because of plugged
orifice.
PRESSURE REGULATING VALVE (ADJUSTABLE)
FUNCTION:
Adjusts and maintains down
pressure of Tuck-A-Weigh.
FAILURE SYMPTOM:
System will not develop desired
pressure. Pressure erratic or
unstable caused from sticking or
binding spool.

CB4 Conversion
A pre-1988 Bridgemaster ll or Tuck-A-Weigh can be
retrofitted to a new style motion control valve (CB4).
Should a problem arise with the motion control valve on
a Bridgemaster ll (CB1) or a Tuck-A-Weigh (CB3), this
CB4 conversion would not only save the customer
money, but provide to be more efficient. All Bridgemaster
lll units built after 1/2/88 incorporate a CB4 as a standard
equipment.
To convert a CB3 on a Tuck-A-Weigh to the CB4 unit the
following steps should be followed:
1. Unplumb and remove existing CB3.
2. Eliminate the pilot line which runs between the
high pressure relief valve assembly. (HPRV) and
the CB3.
3. Install a plug in the pilot port on the HPRV as this
will no longer be required.
4. Install new CB4 to rod end of cylinder with the
ports pointing toward the HPRV.
5. Plumb the drain line from the HPRV to the end of
the CB4 cartridge (the end cap of the cartridge is
threaded to accept a fitting). A -4 to -6 adapter
will be required .
6. Plumb the large “CR” hose which was removed
from the CB3 to the CB4.
7. Check trailer performance on a scale. The new
CB4 is more efficient and may require recalibration.

To convert a CB1 on a Bridgemaster ll to the CB4 unit the
following steps should be followed:
1. Unplumb and remove the existing CB1.
2. Eliminate the pilot line which runs to the CB1
from either the HPRV or the “P aux” port of the
“C” block (control block).
3. Install a plug in the port which the pilot pressure
line came from. A pilot line is no longer required.
4. Install new CB4 to the rod end of the cylinder
with the ports pointing toward the HPRV.
5. Install a drain line from the CB4 cartridge end
(threaded to accept a fitting) to the reservoir (or
HPRV drain if equipped).
6. Plumb the large “CR” hose which was removed
from the CB1 to the CB4.
7. Check trailer performance on a scale. The new
CB4 is more efficient and will require recalibration.
The CB4 is quite simple to install. It has only three ports:
the port which attaches directly to the cylinder via a fitting
which is included with the CB4, a port for high flow which
allows oil to enter or leave the cylinder, and a cartridge
drain line which is designed to thread directly into the cartridge.

Mixer Maintenance and Periodic Inspection
DAILY INSPECTIONS
1. Hydraulic hoses, fittings, and pipe must be inspected
on a daily basis for leaks, cuts, abrasions, damage,
aging, improper clearance, and along the frame for
hidden damage. If you find hoses with any such
adverse conditions or damage, they must be replaced
before the mixer is returned to service! In any event,
all hydraulic hoses must be replaced every two years.
Failure to properly inspect and maintain your mixer
may result in serious personal injury.
2. Visual roller track and roller alignment check. Check
for “snapping” or “popping” noises while drum is turning.
3. Check oil level in hydraulic reservoir. Add oil if below
sight gauge level with all cylinders retracted. Use correct oil.
4. Start engine and warm up hydraulic system with truck
engine at approximately 1,200 RPM and mixer drum
turning at approximately 2 RPM. Warm up time minimum is 5 minutes.
5. Check vacuum gauge on oil filter. Replace element if
the reading exceeds 10 inches of vacuum after oil has
reached operating temperature.
6. Check for and correct any external oil or air leaks.
NOTE: Do not tighten or loosen any connections
while system is under pressure.
7. Lubricate pump drive shaft universal joints.
4. Check filler cap and neck on oil reservoir for leaks.
Check oil reservoir mounts. Make any necessary
repairs immediately.
5. Check and record drum RPM while loading mixer with
concrete and truck engine running at top governed
RPM. If drum revolution is 2 RPM less than that
recorded at previous check, see manual for component check out.
6. Check inside of drum for concrete build up and clean
as required.
7. Check mounting bolts for proper tightness.
8. Check ZF transmission drive plate bolts. Torque to
170 lb ft.
9. Check ZF transmission hold down bolts. Torque to
420 lb. ft.
10. Inspect debouncer for proper clearance.
11. Inspect roller track for cracks, flat areas. Correct as
necessary.
SIX MONTH INSPECTION
1. Change hydraulic oil and install new hydraulic oil filter(s). Remove filters and check for metal particles.
Replace filter(s) with correct part number filter. Use
the correct hydraulic oil as per McNeilus specs.
Check with McNeilus before using any alternate
hydraulic oil or filters. Multiple Viscosity oils and
Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) cannot be used
in the hydraulic system.
8. Lubricate roller bearings.
2.
9. Lubricate and inspect rear cable control box.
10. Lubricate chute pivot system and inspect chutes and
chute hardware for wear or damage.
WEEKLY INSPECTIONS
1. Check pump drive shaft cap screws for proper tightness.
2. Lubricate complete mixer per lube chart supplied with
mixer.
3. On Bridgemaster systems check the indicator gauge
on the high pressure filter when the system is warm
and the Bridgemaster Trailer is actually moving down
(if the trailer is not moving, the indicator will not read).
4. Service the ZF transmission. The lubricant should be
drained while the ZF drive is hot. 85w-140 with a GL5
spec is the proper lubricant. Do not overfill the drive.
Proper oil level is to the bottom of the sight glass.
5.
3. Draw sample of oil from reservoir and check for presence of water. If water is present, the oil may be milky
in appearance. Milky oil should be drained from the
system and replaced and the source of the water
entry found and corrected.
