PFT G 54 E Operating Instructions 09/2006 Connect the water hose of the water flow meter to the upper water inlet of the mixing tube. Press the water flow button briefly. When starting the machine, there must be a sufficient amount of water in the mixing area so that the rotor head is covered (check for leaks, screw pump might be defective).
PFT G 54 E Operating Instructions 09/2006 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).
PFT G 54 E Operating Instructions 09/2006 Spraying gun Connect the spraying gun (finishing coat gun or crimp valve gun) to the mortar hose. Press the green “ON” pressure switch (1) and open the air tap on the spraying gun.
PFT G 54 E Operating Instructions 09/2006 Mortar consistency The right mortar consistency is achieved once the material on the sprayed surface merges (we recommend applying material to wall surfaces from top to bottom). Even mixing and spraying cannot be ensured if the amount of water is insufficient, resulting in clogged hoses and the pumping components being subjected to greater wear.
PFT G 54 E Operating Instructions 09/2006 Measures at the end of work and during cleaning WARNING! Before removing the screw pump and opening the motor tilt flange, make absolutely sure the pump and hoses are depressurised. Observe the mortar pressure gauge display.

PFT G 54 E Operating Instructions 09/2006 Switch on the compressor. Press the water flow button. The water is now blown out of the manifold with compressed air (at 1.5 bar for about 1 minute)! Empty the mixer pump by folding up the entire pump component.
Transport First pull the main power cable and then undo all other power connections. Remove the water supply lines. The G 54 E consists of two units (mixing tube and material hopper), which can be transported separately. WARNING! Make sure all hoses are depressurised before opening the couplings (observe the mortar pressure gauge display).
PFT delivery hood with electrical safety cabinet for G 54 E (item number 20 60 05 00) The PFT delivery hood is used to fill the PFT G 54 E mixer pump with dry material directly from the silo or container. If the material hopper is reported to be empty, the mixer pump is switched off by means of the remote control plug.
