33.1 Prepare mortar hoses
Fig. 54: Prepare mortar hose
1. Connect the cleaner coupling (1) to the stopcock (2).
2. Open the stopcock (2) and water the mortar hose (3).
3. Remove mortar hose and cleaner coupling again and separate
from one another.
4. Remove all the water from the mortar hose.
5. Pre-lubricate the mortar hose with about two l of wallpaper
paste.
DANGER!
Never loosen the hose couplings as long as there
is pressure on the mortar hoses (check mortar
pressure gauge)! The mix could burst out under
pressure and result in serious injuries, especially
injuries to the eyes.
Torn off hoses can beat about and injure
bystanders!
33.2 Connect mortar hose
2 1
Fig. 55: Connect mortar hose
1. Connect mortar hose (1) at the mortar pressure gauge (2).
NOTE!
Ensure clean and correct connection and
tightness of the couplings! Dirty couplings and
rubber seals are not watertight, and water might
leak under pressure inevitably leading to
blockages.
2. Lay mortar hoses in large radius so that no kinks form in the
hoses.
3. Attach risers carefully in order to prevent them from tearing off
under their own weight.
