Mixing pump RITMO XL FC-230/400V / Part 2 Overview, operation and service
Operation
5.7
Applying mortar
WARNING
Danger of injury from discharged mortar!
Discharged mortar may lead to injuries to eyes and face.
Never look into the spray gun.
Always wear protective goggles.
Always position yourself in such a way that you are not
hit by the mortar being discharged.
The possible conveying distance depends mainly on the
flowability of the mortar. Heavy, sharp-edged mortar has
poor flow characteristics. Runny materials have good flow
characteristics.
If 30, 25 or 20 bar operating pressure is exceeded, thicker
mortar hoses have to be used.

Figure 60: Opening the air tap
1. Turn the pump motor selector switch (1) to "right" position.
2. Point the spray gun toward the wall to be plastered.
3. Ensure that nobody is in the discharge area of the mortar.
4. Open the air tap (2) on the spray gun.
5. The machine will start-up automatically via the pressure switch-off
and the mortar emerges.
The correct mortar consistency is reached, if the mate-
rial mixes on the surface to be sprayed (we recommend
application on wall surfaces from top to bottom). Uniform
mixing and spraying cannot be ensured if the amount
of water is insufficient. This can clog the hoses and the
pumping components are then subjected to greater wear.
