Proceed with pipeline cleaning. Insert a washing sponge (ref.16)
at the start of the pipeline, connect the material delivery hose to
the mortar hose-water hose coupling (ref.17), and then connect
the latter to the auxiliary water valve. Insert the water pump and
open the auxiliary water valve until the washing sponge comes

If using pipelines with a different diameter for cleaning, use a
suitably sized sponge. Repeat the operation until the pipeline is
perfectly clean.
At this point, on completion of machine cleaning, turn off the
main switch, disconnect the power plug, close the water delivery
valve, open the auxiliary valve for a few seconds and detach the
delivery hose.
If there is any risk of freezing, open the three valves (ref.18) as

Remember to reclose the valves before restarting the machine.
If the machine is not to be used for several days, empty the hopper
completely, opening also the drain plug (ref.5, see EXPLODED
MACHINE DRAWING).
Also remove the cell wheel.
- Before opening the drain plug or the grille, ensure that
the main switch is turned to 0 and the plug is disconnected
from the power supply
14. MAINTENANCE
- Maintenance must be performed by adequately trained
personnel, after switching off the machine, disconnecting it
from the power supply and emptying the hopper.

Check weekly that the mixer is in good condition and replace if
necessary.
Check weekly that the motor connection is in good condition and
replace if necessary.
Check weekly that the electric motors are free of dust and dirt and
if necessary clean using compressed air.
Check weekly that the plug and socket contacts are clean, dry
and rust free.
Every six months arrange for an inspection of the machine by a
technician authorised by IMER or authorised IMER dealer.

16. SILICA DUST WARNING
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials
with silica in their composition my give off dut or mists cintainig crystalli-
ne silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite
and numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or substantial
inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respira-
tory diseases, including silicosis. In addition, California and some other
authorities have listed respirable crystallinesilica as a substance known
to cause cancer. Whwn cutting such materials, always follow respiratory
precautions.
Use appropriate NIOSH-approved respiratory protection where dust
hazard may occur. Paper masks or surgical masks without a NIOSH
approval number are not recommended because they do little to protect
the worker. For more information about respirator programs, including
what respirators have received NIOSH approval as safe and effective,
please visit the NIOSH website at:
http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/respirators
Observe OSHA regulations for respirator use (29 C:F.R. § 1910.134).
Visit http://www.osha.gov for more information.
California proposition 65 message
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contain chemicals know (to the State of Ca-
lifornia) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
-Lead, from lead-based paints
-Crystalline silica, from bricks and cement and other masonry products
-Arsenic and chromium, from chemically treated lumber

Your risk from these exposures varies depending on how often you do
this typer of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in
a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such

ticles. Where use of a dust extraction device is possible, it should be
used. To achieve a high level oof dust collection, use an industrial HEPA
vacuum cleaner. Observe OSHA 29 CFR part 1926.57 and 1926.103
