1. Connect the cleaner coupling (1) at the water extraction valve (2).
2. Connect the mortar hose (3) to the cleaner coupling (2).
3. Open the water sampling valve (2) and water the mortar hose (3).
4. Remove mortar hose and cleaner coupling again and disconnect
from each other.
5. Remove all the water from the mortar hose.
6. Pre-lubricate the mortar hose with about 2 litres of wallpaper paste.
7. The wallpaper paste is mixed through the mortar hose with the first
mixing.
WARNING
The mix could burst out under pressure and result in
serious injuries, especially injuries to the eyes.
Hoses that tear off can lash wildly and injure those
standing nearby!
Never loosen the hose couplings as long as there is
pressure on the mortar hoses (check mortar pressure
gauge)!

Figure 44: Connecting the mortar hose
1. Connect the mortar hose (1) to 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 with a radius large enough so that the hoses do
not kink.
3. Carefully secure risers so that they do not tear away from their own
weight.
