WARNING!
If the 7-pin connection plug of the mixing pump motor is removed, the control circuit
is interrupted (starting lock). To put the machine back into service, the green OFF
switch must be used again.
Turn star wheel switch briefly to “Hand”. The star wheel can be switched to the
positions:
HAND
0
AUTOMATIC.
HAND
The star wheel always runs if the machine is connected and switched on. In this
position, mortar can be added to the mixing area, if the pump is not running. We call
this “Swamping”! For heavy or dispersion mortars we recommend “swamping” and
the brief opening of the mixing area’s lower water connection so that excess water
can be drained. (The control circuit must be interrupted by removing the blind plug).
IMPORTANT!
The TWISTER D 6-3 pump always requires swamping!
ZERO
Star wheel is switched off thus interrupting the supply of mortar to the mixing area.
E.g. when cleaning the mixing area with a mixing cleaner or when adjusting the
pump.
AUTOMATIC
Star wheel runs in synchronization with the mixing pump and is switched on and off
using the air control or remote control.
Connect the mortar pressure gauge to the pressure flange.
Fill the storage container with dry mortar.
Turn star wheel switch (1) to automatic. Pull out blind plug (2). The machine is now
running. The mortar consistency can now be checked at the mortar outlet flange (do
not yet connect mortar hose). While the motor is running, adjust the water quantity to
approx. 10 % above the reference value. The reference value is the water value for
the correct mortar consistency;
e.g.: Knauf MP 75 – reference value approx. 650 to 750 l/h
If mortar emerges, correct the water supply for optimum consistency by adjusting the
water quantity using the needle valve – visible at the cone of the water flow meter.
Turn the hand wheel in clockwise direction to reduce water flow. Turn it in the
opposite direction to increase water flow.
