tomorrow i have a job where its really tight and was wondering what would be the bast way to pump it ... should i just use two sections to the boom or could i pump with the boom folded up and the hose hanging at the end./... would it pump alll folded up ?

It'll pump any way you bend it as long as you can get it to prime.  Sucking a ball will be the hard part if it is all folded up. 

If you can prime it all the way unfolded, fold the boom to what you need to complete the job then unfold again to suck a ball, you'll be golden.

If not, bring your blowout cap to help get the ball back.

so pumping from the second section is not a smart idea?

Run pipe off the ass end of pump.Why go through all the trouble with the boom

its a cat walk on the second floor

You got me there.

There nothing wrong with going off second.It sometimes a bitc- to put back together.It may not be worth the time. Like 52 said,Bring a blow out cap.

You can pump from the second section but use your head; make sure the clamp that is holding the elbow is mounted to the boom and not just hanging at the end of a pipe and I wouldn't hang more than one hose or drag that hose around...remember, it wasn't designed for it on the second section.

Be smart and talk it over with the guy who makes the payments on the pump first.

In the old days of Thompsen,Whiteman,Titan we used to come off the deck,just past the 6-5 reducer.Recently TT had a thread going on this,how soon we forget.Come off the deck and leave back end alone.

Well Tommy,
