Filling the storage container with dry mortar
Fill the storage container with dry mortar.
Turn the star wheel switch (1) to automatic. Insert the blind plug (2). The
machine is now ready for operation. The mortar consistency can now be
checked at the mortar outlet flange (do not connect the mortar hose yet).
Set the water quantity to approx. 10 % above the reference value with the
motor running. The nominal setting is the water setting at which the mortar
has the right flowing consistency, e.g.: Knauf MP 75 – reference value
approx. 650 to 750 l/h.
If mortar emerges, correct the water supply for optimum consistency by
adjusting the water quantity with the needle valve – visible on the cone o
f
the water flow meter.
Turn the hand wheel clockwise to reduce the water flow rate. Turn it in the
opposite direction to increase the flow rate.
Press the red “OFF” pressure switch (machine stops).
Connect the air hose to the air manifold and spraying gun.
Switch on the compressor.
WARNING!
Make sure the coupling is clean and connected properly.
Connect all required mortar hoses to each other and flush them with wate
r
to avoid blockages (do not leave water in the hoses). Use the transition
adapter (in the tool kit).
If the mortar quality is unknown, pour approx. 3 litres of lime or plaste
r
slurry into the first hose behind the machine.
