SAFETY for your TIP NEVER OVERLOAD YOUR BOOM Calculate weight of all suspended items as being full of concrete NEVER SWING IRON ON THE END OF YOUR BOOM Double 90s, etc NEVER SWING A DOUBLE COUPLED HOSE AS A TIP HOSE Hose end only, no coupling device NEVER ALLOW CO-WORKERS WITHIN THE LENGTH OF YOUR SWINGING HOSE BEFORE IT IS SAFE Priming out, after moving, when restarting after a wait, when you are plugged, are having difficulty pumping or when you suspect air in the system NEVER BEGIN PUMPING WITH OUT COMMUNICATING WITH YOUR HOSEMAN Be sure they are ready and prepared to start |

17' rule, never stand on your hopper grate, 1-1 rule, I like at least 50 ft from the hose incase rocks or debri blows out of it when you are priming, or repriming. |
