4.4 - STARTING •Check that all the service valves (28) are closed. REVENTIVE CHECKS Carry out the following checks: •Reduction gear oil level: Upon completion of any repair or maintenance work, ensure that all the protective devices (fan casing, hopper grid and mixer grid) have been replaced and that no tool has been left inside the Check the lubricant hopper or the mixer.
•Calibrating the pump - Start the mortar pump by pressing the relative start/ If a new pump has been installed and in any case every stop button I/0 (32). day prior to commencing work with the material, it is advisable to check pump calibration as follows: - Mount the pump calibrating unit (29), with the...

The tightness of the clamp being equal, the pump exerts a considerably higher pressure on the material than on the water. Tighten the clamp until an adequate pressure Toavoidoverloadingandtheconsequent is obtained. early wear of the pumping equipment, stop At the end put the clamp back to the previous normal the machine with the variator flywheel in the working position.
4.6 - REPLACING THE PUMPING UNIT To replace the pumping unit proceed as follows: Take the stator-screw unit, clamp it, lock the First of all stop the pump and then cut off the stator and using a suitable ø power supply to the control panel. 12 mm rod of suitable length (80 cm) inserted into the hole made for the bolt to fix the...
