do not apply. All adjustments are recommended
procedures only. Pay particular attention to all
Safety statements.
02 Form Preparation
If the back of the barrier form is a straight edge
(parapet), measure the amount of exposed sideplate
below the main portion of the form on the front side,
after it has been set for the proper amount of exposed
surface. Adjust the sideplate on the back side of the
form until the amount of exposed sideplate below the
main portion of the form is the same as the front.
Make the measurement in line with the adjustment
bolts.

Adjust rear of sideplate

001-1911
Adjusting Standard Sideplates: Adjust the rear of
the sideplate on each side of the form to give the
proper amount of exposed vertical surface. Measure
from the angled transition bend line to the bottom of
the sideplate. Adjust the sideplate up or down with the
rear adjustment bolt. Lock the adjustment in place
when the proper measurement is attained. Make the
measurement in line with the adjustment bolt.
Note: Sideplate adjustment is normally easier
with the form attached to the machine and raised
off the ground.
Adjust front of sideplate
001-1913
Measure from the top of the sideplate to the bottom of
the angle iron on the side of the form, in line with the
rear adjustment bolt. Measure the distance from the
top of the sideplate to the bottom of the angle iron on
the side of the form, in line with the front adjustment
bolt. Adjust the front of the sideplate until the
measurement is the same as the rear.
Note: If pressure compensated sideplates are
installed on the form, refer to the Final Adjustment
section (section 09) for adjustment procedures.

Adjust Top Plate
001-1916
Adjusting the Top Plate: Place a straight edge, from
side to side, below the bottom rear edge of the
sideplates. Measure from the straight edge to the rear
edge of the stainless top cap. This measurement
should be the same as the required height of the wall,
plus approximately 3/4 inch (19 mm) allowance for
slump.
Adjust top of wall to proper slope
001-1917
To adjust the top plate, loosen the attaching bolts on
both sides of the form. Adjust the rear edge of the top
plate up or down with the adjusting bolts until the wall
is the correct height. Lock the nuts on the adjusting
bolts securely. Place a straight edge across the two
square tubes on the top of the form directly over the
rear of the top plate. Measure from the straight edge
down to the flat portion of the plate on each side.
These measurements should normally be even. If not,
adjust one side or the other as necessary.
G21 09/08/03

Adjust top at center
001-1918
Note the measurement at the rear of the form between
the straight edge and the top plate. Move the straight
edge forward to the center set of adjusting bolts.
Adjust the center of the top plate until it is
approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) above the rear of the
plate. Move the straight edge forward to the front set
of adjusting bolts. Adjust the front of the plate until it is
approximately 1/2 inch (13 mm) above the rear of the
plate. Tighten all of the adjusting nuts securely.
Tighten the attaching bolts on both sides of the form
securely.
Adjust side stainless
001-1920
Stainless Trowel Adjustment: Adjust the stainless
trowel section on each side of the slipform mold so the
leading edge is approximately 1/8 inch (3 mm) outside
of the rear edge of the main form. Make the
adjustment at all adjustment points. Tighten the
adjustment nuts securely.
Place a 4 feet (1.2 m) straightedge from the rear of the
stainless trowel section, up into the main form in line

with one of the adjusting bolts. Adjust the rear of the
stainless until there is a 1/8 inch (3 mm) gap between
the rear edge of the main form and the straight edge.
Tighten the adjustment nuts securely. Do the same at
each set of adjustment bolts.
Install vibrator in parapet wall base
001-1921
Vibrator Installation: The first vibrator is installed in
the underslung (horizontal) manner with the tip
centered in the width of the wall base if pouring
straight back (parapet) wall. Place the vibrator to one
side if pouring over cage steel making certain that
there is at least 1 inch (25 mm) of clearance between
the steel and the vibrator.
Install vibrators in barrier wall base
001-1922
If the wall is of the standard design, a second vibrator
can be installed in the right side of the form. The
vibrator should be installed in the underslung
(horizontal) manner. Position the left and right
vibrators with their tips 6 to 8 inches (150 to 200 mm)
in from their respective sides. The tips should be
positioned 4 to 6 inches (100 to 150 mm) off the grade.
Place the vibrator to one side if pouring over cage
steel making certain that there is at least 1 inch (25
mm) of clearance between the steel and the vibrator.

Install second vibrator
001-1923
If the wall is of the straight back (parapet) design, the
second vibrator is positioned in the underslung
(horizontal) manner when pouring over cage steel.
The vibrator should be positioned in the back of the
wall, as low as possible and still clear the steel by 1
inch (25 mm) (provided there is enough space).
Install third vibrator
001-1924
The third vibrator is installed in the underslung
(horizontal) manner when pouring over cage steel.
The vibrator should be positioned to the right (machine
side) of the center vertical portion of the wall. The
vibrator should be mounted in a higher position in
relation to the second vibrator. The vibrator should
clear the steel by a minimum of 1 inch (25 mm). If no
steel is being inserted into the wall, the vibrator can be
installed with the tip pointing into the center of the
vertical portion of the wall.

steering wand should move left towards the line until
the stop pin in the sensor hub contacts the stop pin in
the side of the sensor. If not, tighten the spring
slightly. The grade wand should move up towards the
line, until the stop pin in the sensor hub contacts the
stop pin in the side of the sensor. If not, tighten the
spring slightly. If the sensor wands deflect the line
more than 1/8 inch (3 mm), but the stop pin in the
sensor and the hub will not contact one another,
suspect that the line has inadequate tension. Adjust
the line as necessary.
Note: When checking the sensor wand spring
tension, it should be done half way between
stations so the line holders do not interfere. The
control system should be in the “standby” mode or
the servo lock switch must be in the “on” position
when checking the sensor spring tension.

When the guideline is on the left side of the machine,
plumb a level vertically against the guideline, in line
with the rear of the slipform hopper. Measure the
distance between the guideline side of the level and
the reference point (center of top, edge of base, etc.)
on the slipform mold. This measurement should be
the required offset distance. If not, adjust the front and
rear steering evenly as necessary. Moving the
sensors towards the guideline (left), increases the
distance between the line and form. Moving the
sensors away from the guideline (right) decreases the
distance between the line and form. After each
adjustment, move the machine forward 20 to 30 feet (6
to 9 m) and recheck the offset.

Check stationary sideplate clearance
001-1961
If the barrier form is equipped with standard sideplates
and the wall is being poured on a smooth surface such
as concrete or asphalt, the grade is normally adjusted
so that the bottom of the form clears any high spots in
the grade by at least 1/8 inch (3 mm). Adjust the
grade sensors up or down evenly as necessary and
recheck measurement.
Check final elevation
001-1962
If the barrier form is equipped with pressure
compensated hydraulic sideplates and the wall is
being poured on a smooth surface such as concrete or
asphalt, hold a level, plumbed horizontally, above or
below the guideline and extended over to the rear of
the form. Measure from the guideline side of the level
to the top of the rear of the form. If the measurement
is incorrect, adjust both grade sensors up or down
equally as required. Moving the sensors up, lowers
the grade and moving the sensors down raises the
grade. One turn of the grade jack crank changes the
grade approximately 1/8 inch (3 mm).
G21 09/08/03 4-17
GT-3600 New Generation
Note: Be certain to allow for top slump when
checking grade.
Check pressure compensated setting
001-2617
After the machine has been set to grade, move the
hydraulic sideplate control valves to the down position.
Lower the sideplates until they are resting on the
grade front and rear. Adjust each pressure control
valve so that there is 300 psi ±50 psi (21 bar ±3 bar)
indicated on the gauges. To adjust the pressure,
loosen the jam nut and turn the adjusting screw in to
increase pressure, or out to decrease pressure.
Tighten the jam nut securely. The valves are normally
adjusted to the same pressure.
Note: The are between the mold and the
sideplates should be well lubricated with grease to
provide continuous operation during the pour and
prevent concrete buildup between the mold and
sideplates.
Check cage steel clearance
001-1964
If the barrier wall is to be poured over cage steel, it is
recommended to dry run the length of the job, if
possible. Make certain that the steel is properly set
and the vibrators clear it by a minimum of 1 inch (25
mm).

Starting Pour from Header: When first beginning the
barrier wall pour, it is recommended that a template
header form be used to start from. The header form
should be at least 1/2 inch (13 mm) smaller than the
wall on the top and both sides. Set the header form at
the beginning point of the pour and brace it adequately
as there will be an extreme amount of pressure
against it when the concrete is first vibrated against it.
After the header form is set, slowly back the machine
G21 09/08/03 4-18

over it until it is approximately 1-1/2 feet (46 cm) from
the forward/reverse steer switch in the “forward”
position and the travel/neutral switch in the “travel”
position. Be certain that the control system is in
"automatic" and the servo lock switch is in the "off"
position. Move the control valves for the pressure
compensated sideplates to the down position to lower
the sideplates on to the grade.
! CAUTION! !
DO NOT PLACE OIL ON THE OPERATORS
PLATFORM OR THE BOARDING LADDER, AS IT
MAY CAUSE THEM TO BECOME VERY SLIPPERY.
INJURY MAY RESULT IF SLIPPAGE OCCURS.
It is advisable to coat the inside and outside of the
form and the machine frame below the conveyor with
form oil. The conveyor frame, receiving hopper and
the discharge hopper should also be coated. Avoid
placing oil on the inside surface of the belt as it could
cause slippage.
GOMACO Tip: Place plastic or burlap over the
machine frame, directly below the conveyor to aid
in clean up at the end of the day.

After pouring 15 to 20 feet (4.6 to 6 m) check the final
product for proper slope, line and grade. If
adjustments are needed, make them in small
increments over a great distance. For example, if the
grade requires a change of 1/4 inch (6 mm), adjust it
1/8 inch (3 mm) every 5 feet (1.5 m) or more. To
check the slope of a straight backed barrier (parapet),
! plumb a level vertically along the back of the wall and
check for the correct amount of batter. To check the
slope of a standard barrier, plumb a level vertically
along the edge of the wall base and measure over to
the center of the wall. Adjust the slope setting as
necessary.

Continuing the Pour From an Existing Wall: If the

pour is to start or continue, from an existing wall, it is
necessary that the grade at the end of the existing wall
is correct. Back the machine to the start of the pour,
as previously described, until the rear of the slipform
mold is against the existing wall.

Note: The slipform mold will not fit over the

product that was poured with it at a previous time.
Concrete slump causes the product to expand
wider than the slipform profile.

Set all controls for pouring as previously described.

Remove the cover plate from the top of the form.
Begin filling the form and vibrating the concrete back
into the form. Insert a stinger type vibrator into the
opening in the top of the form and “work” the concrete
to the rear of the form. Continue to “work” the
concrete until the form is completely full. Stop the
main vibrators on the machine and withdraw the
stinger vibrator. Reinstall the cover plate on the top of

Cage steel centered in front of form
001-1973
When pouring over cage steel, it is important that the
steel be set straight and even. Observe the steel
going into the front of the form to be sure there is
equal clearance on all sides. Adjust steel or machine
as necessary. Be certain that the steel is securely tied
and braced to prevent movement.
Wet concrete mix
001-1974
When the concrete mix becomes too wet (high slump),
it may be necessary to increase the travel speed and/
or decrease the vibration to avoid a “puffy” surface. If
the concrete is extremely wet, the top of the wall may
slump excessively, or even fall over. When pouring
over cage steel, wet concrete may cause the bars of
steel to reflect in the concrete surface. A vibrator
touching the cage steel can also cause the steel to
reflect. Adjust the vibrator to prevent contact with the
steel. If the concrete is the problem, the solution
would be to get the concrete mix drier, or refuse to
accept it.
G21 09/08/03
GT-3600 New Generation
Dry concrete mix
001-1908
When the concrete mix becomes too dry (low slump),
it may be necessary to decrease travel speed and/or
increase vibration to eliminate “voids” in the concrete
surface. If the concrete is extremely dry, large “voids”
may appear in the surface, or the concrete may even
pull apart. The solution would then be to add water to
the concrete mix, or if necessary, refuse to accept it.
Hump caused by vibrators
033-3022
During pouring operations, it occasionally becomes
necessary to stop and start the machine travel. When
stopping, smoothly rotate the “variable speed control”
dial in the “decrease” direction to the “off” position.
This causes the vibrators to stop at the same instance
as the machine travel ceases. When starting the
machine travel, smoothly rotate the “variable speed
control” dial in the “increase” direction to position 30 or
above. This will start the vibrators at the same
instance as the machine travel begins. After the
machine is moving, adjust the travel speed as
necessary. Another possible solution is to use the
travel/neutral switch. The travel/neutral switch will
simultaneously start and stop the travel and the
vibrators when used.
4-21
 GT-3600 New Generation

GOMACO Tip: When it is necessary to stop for a

short period of time, it is recommended to rotate
the “variable speed control” dial just clear of the off
position of the switch to start the vibrators
operating. Allow the vibrators to operate for 5 to
10 seconds before moving the machine to shake
the concrete free in the form. This will help
eliminate the possibility of the wall tearing when
the machine moves forward. It may also be
advisable to turn all the vibrator variables to the
maximum position

Example of something hitting guideline

CG-110404-08
During pouring operations, it is important that nothing,
or no one bumps the guideline. Be sure there is no
debris against the guideline which could become
entangled in the sensor wands. Be certain that
persons working around the machine do not come in
contact with the line.
Waiting too long for concrete delivery
001-1976
The photo above shows what will occur if the machine
sits in one position for too long and the concrete sets
up in the mold. When it becomes necessary to wait for
concrete delivery, it is recommended to have the
hopper completely full when the last truck departs,
especially if the temperature is extremely warm.
Slowly move the machine forward approximately 12
inches (300 mm) every 5 to 10 minutes. It is
recommended to set the vibrators to maximum before
moving the machine, after it has set for a period of
time. If the concrete begins to pull and crack at the
rear of the mold, stop the machine travel and allow the
vibrators to work the concrete in an attempt to loosen it
from the mold. Slowly move forward until the concrete Installation of repair forms

necessary.

G21 09/08/03 4-22


Example of concrete slump variance
001-1977
Small variations of concrete slump can cause the top
of the product to vary up or down during pouring
operations. Maintaining a constant concrete slump will
help eliminate the variance in the top of the wall. To
check, a 10 or 12 foot (3.0 to 3.7 m) straight edge may
be used when placed lightly on top of the wall. Repair
any fluctuation greater than 1/8 inch (3 mm) as
necessary.
Finishing wall
001-1979
Apply any finishing practices to the wall as may be
necessary such as a broom finish. Cut any necessary
control joints. After all finishing is completed, apply
curing compound as necessary.
Expansion Joints: Where expansion joints are
required in barrier walls and bridge parapets, there
are various methods used to either hand form or
slipform the joint into the wall. In either case, make
certain that the method is approved and meets or
exceeds the local specifications.
G21 09/08/03
GT-3600 New Generation
Bridge parapet expansion joint
cg050537-21
The expansion joint above was securely wired into the
cage steel of a bridge parapet. The support structure
of the expansion joint should be strong enough to
withstand the force of the concrete as the mold passes
over. The frame work should measure a minimum of
1/2 inch smaller then the opening of the slipform mold
on all sides. Finish around the expansion joint as
required after the machine has poured over it.
Formed expansion joint
001-2647
In the example above, two metal hand forms are
placed on each side of the barrier wall. A space
between each pair of forms will allow a saw to cut
open the joint while the concrete is still plastic.
The saw can be made from a long strip of plywood
with handles cut on either end. Teeth are cut into the
bottom edge of the plywood to form the saw. After the
concrete has set up enough to remove the forms, hand
finishing will be required to complete the joint.

Spray the wall with cure
001-2620
Cover the wall with wet burlap or spray with a curing
compound as required to prevent excessive moisture
evaporation.
End of pour header form
001-1980
If pouring over cage steel, it is possible to set a
template header form to pour over at the end of the
pour. The header form should be cut at least 1/2 inch
(13 mm) smaller than the wall on the top and both
sides. Set the header form at the end of the pour and
brace it adequately, as there will be an extreme
amount of pressure against it as the concrete in the
hopper, being vibrated, goes over it. As the header
form begins to go into the front of the form, be certain
that it does not catch on the sides or top.

When ending the pour, stop the conveyor. Continue to
move the machine forward until all of the concrete has
slipped from under the form. Push the auxiliary travel/
vibrator selector valve in to the “auxiliary travel”
position. Place the vibrator auto/off switch in the “off”
position. Depress the “A/M” switch on each elevation
control loop to place the grade control system in
"manual". Select a manual steer mode with the steer
select switch. Raise the machine using the all jog
switch and move the machine to an area where it can
be cleaned.
The sensors should be removed before washing the
machine. It is advisable to mark the sensor location
on the mounts prior to their removal. This will speed
setup time if the pour is to be continued at a later date.
Be sure to place protective dust caps over the
electrical plugs to keep moisture and dirt out.
