43.1 Preparing the mortar hoses 

 

Fig. 71: Preparing the mortar hose 

1.  Connect the cleaner coupling (1) to the shut-off valve (2). 
2.  Connect the mortar hose (3) to the cleaner coupling (1). 
3.  Open shut-off valve (2) and flush mortar hose (3) with water. 
4.  Remove the mortar hose and cleaner coupling again 

and disconnect from one another. 

5.  Completely empty the mortar hose of water. 
6.  Prime the mortar hose by wetting it with about 1 litre of 

wallpaper paste. 

7.  The wallpaper paste is pumped through the mortar hose 

with the first mixture. 

 

 

 

 

DANGER! 

Never detach hose couplings if the mortar hoses 

are under pressure (check mortar pressure gauge). 

Mixed material can escape under pressure and 

lead to serious injuries, especially eye injuries. 
Hoses that tear off can lash wildly and injure those 

standing nearby! 

 

 

43.2 Connecting the mortar hose 

 

 

 

 

 

Fig. 72: Connecting the mortar hose 

1.  Connect the mortar hose (1) to the mortar pressure gauge (2). 

 

NOTE! 

Make sure the couplings are clean and connected 

properly, and do not leak. Dirty couplings and 

rubber seals are leaky and allow water under 

pressure to escape, which inevitably leads to 

blockages. 
Carefully secure risers so that they do not 

tear away from their own weight. 

2.  Lay mortar hoses with a radius large enough so that the hoses 

do not kink. 

 

 

Fig. 73: Switching on

 

3.  Turn the selector switch Pump motor directions of rotation (3) to 

the right. 

4.  Allow the machine to run until all the wallpaper paste 

has emerged from the end of the mortar hose. 

5.  Collect the wallpaper paste with a suitable container 

and dispose of it according to regulations. 

6.  Switch off machine at selector switch (3) (middle position).
