Operation Item Designation Control valve for water volume Flow meter You can adjust the water volume by turning the volume control valve. This is done by gradually adjusting the water volume in small steps (20–40 l/h). This can be seen by looking at the float through the in‐ spection glass.
Operation Item Designation Pressure connection 2. Inspect the mortar consistency at the pressure connection. 3. Gradually decrease the water value using the volume control valve until you reach the required mortar consistency. ⇒ Pumping start-up is finished when the required mortar consis‐ tency exits at the pressure connection.
Operation 6.4.1 Starting to pump with lime grout The entire delivery line must be wetted at the start of pumping opera‐ tions. The lime grout must generally be used when starting to pump. The grout lubricates the inside of the delivery line and prevents block‐ ages.
Operation Item Designation Pressure connection Coupling Delivery line 2. Connect the filled side of the delivery line to the pressure connec‐ tion. 3. Pump the grout through the delivery line. 4. Collect the grout in a suitable container at the end of the delivery line and dispose of it according to regulations.

Page 110
Operation 2. Connect the air hose to the air valve fitting and the spray gun. 3. Close the remote control valve on the spray gun. 4. Depending on the model, you may also need to close the stop cock or the air-regulation cock. Opening or closing the remote control valve on the spray gun switches the pump on and off.
Page 111
Operation 4. If necessary, turn the volume control valve for the water volume on the water valve fitting in order to achieve the required mortar consistency. This changes the volumetric flow rates. You can read off the volumetric flow rate on the flow meter. The container must never be pumped completely empty as this will cause the pump to suck in air.
Operation Working with the cable remote control To use the cable remote control, proceed as follows: Figure 31: Cable remote control Item Designation “ON – OFF” toggle switch “Remote control” connector plug 1.

Maintenance In this chapter you will find information on maintenance work which is necessary for the safe and efficient operation of the machine. We would like to explicitly emphasise here that all prescribed checks, inspections and preventative maintenance work must be conscien‐ tiously carried out.
Page 134
Maintenance Maintenance and inspection by the machine oper‐ ator Regular preventative inspections allow you to detect machine dam‐ age well in advance and implement the necessary repair measures. See the “Maintenance intervals” section for information on the type and frequency of necessary inspection work. It is recommended that the details and results of the inspections are documented in a suitable format.

Maintenance Residual risks during maintenance work Maintenance work may present a risk of personnel or third parties suffering injury or death. 8.3.1 Personnel requirements Only qualified personnel may carry out maintenance work. Qualified personnel must have successfully completed a specialist training course that qualifies them to carry out such activities.
Page 137
Maintenance WARNING Risk of injury due to the machine starting unexpectedly ▶ Before performing any maintenance work, shut down the ma‐ chine and secure it to prevent accidental startup (e.g. by locking control equipment). If this is not possible, enlist the help of a second person to prevent the machine from starting unexpect‐...

Maintenance 8.6.1 Before beginning maintenance work There are specific risks of accidents associated with maintenance, in‐ spection and repair work. Therefore always read the “Safety regula‐ tions” chapter and the description “Residual risks during maintenance work” in this chapter. Maintenance personnel must have authorisation and the necessa‐ ry technical qualification.
