TROUBLE SHOOTING

1. The Drill is turning but the Grouter is not delivering mortar out of the Nozzle.

A. Make sure the drill is in forward rotation. The tool will not deliver mortar in reverse.

B. Make sure set screws on the Wiper Coupling, Blade-Coupling  and Collar are tight.

C. Inspect auger for wear. Take the Nozzle-Holder off and look down the inside of the

Barrel. If the There is a gap of 1/8th  inch or more around the Auger then the

Auger (#27) needs  to be replaced. If the Auger is not warn and there is a similar gap

then the Auger-Barrel (#5) needs to be replaced.

E. If none of the above applies then remove the Auger and inspect the weld between

the auger flight and the center shaft. These welds can break if the Auger is jammed.

2. The tool plugs

A. Check to see that the Nozzle-Holder, Steel nozzle and plastic Retainer are

assembled in the correct order.  The steel nozzle is inserted first followed by the

Retainer.  See Page 5

B. If tool plugs remove the Nozzle-Holder. Holding Nozzle-Holder with the

Steel Nozzle up hit back of Nozzle-Holder on hard surface to remove stiff

mortar.  Keeping hands away from Tip-Blades run drill in forward to dislodge

any obstructions in the Auger-Barrel. Clean the end of the Auger-Barrel and

Nozzle-Holder assembly with water. Reinstall  Nozzle-Holder and run. See Page 4

C. If problem continues, check the Tip Blades(#30) and U-Blade(#31) for wear.

The  Long-Blade should be no more than 1/2 inch back from the

front of the Steel-Nozzle.  If wear is noted, replace worn parts.

Note: The U-Blade(#31) usually does not have to be replaced until 3 or 4 sets of

Tip-Blades(#30) have been replaced. See Page 5

D. If Problems persist see, mortar mix information page 6

3. If Nozzle-Holder does not rotate for Vertical and Horizontal action, remove

              Nozzle-Holder assembly  and refer to step 2B  above.  Also apply some

              Petroleum Jelly  to the O-Ring and Allen Key stop area of the Auger-Barrel.
