37 Mortar hoses
37.1 Preparing the mortar hoses
Fig. 56: 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!
37.2 Connecting the mortar hose
Fig. 57: 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. 58: Switching on
4. Turn the selector switch Pump motor directions of rotation
(3) to the right.
5. Allow the machine to run until all the wallpaper paste
has emerged from the end of the mortar hose.
6. Collect the wallpaper paste with a suitable container
and dispose of it according to regulations.
7. Switch off machine at selector switch (3) (middle position).
