Interruption of work
Observe the guidelines of the material manufacturer regarding interruptions.
It is recommended to clean the pump prior to longer interruptions. To do so, see the
corresponding step on page 20 – Measures at the end of work and when cleaning.
Every interruption of the spraying procedure results in minor irregularities of the mortar
consistency. These normalise, however, as soon as the machine has been working for
a while. Therefore, do not change the water supply each time you detect an irregularity,
but wait instead until the consistency of the material emerging from the spraying gun
is correct.
