Cleaning and maintenance
13.1 Cleaning the mortar mixer
If external cleaning of the mortar mixer is necessary, depending on the frequency of use
or ambient conditions, proceed as follows:
1. Switch off the MAIN SWITCH.
2. Remove the power plug.
3. Any loose lying dust should be removed using a brush or by vacuuming
4. If necessary, the mortar mixer can be cleaned externally
with a damp cloth.
Normal household detergents can be used as additives.
Warning
Any cleaning with pressure, spray or gushing water, as well as water
being introduced with dripping sponges or similar unsuitable aids, re-
sults in sustained damage to mechanical and/or electrical or elec-
tronic components of the mortar mixer.
13.2 Maintenance of the mortar mixer
The mixer is virtually maintenance-free. The bevel gear unit of the DC motor and the
planetary gear unit of the mixer head are provided with sufficient lubrication for approxi-
mately 5,000 operating hours.
After several years of operation, a thorough cleaning and relubrication of the gear units
with suitable lubricants is recommended.
Due to the very compact design of the mixer, we recommend that you use our mainte-
nance service.
13.3 Checking and adjustment
Depending on the mortar mixer’s frequency of use, the distance between the stirrer and
the mixing bowl may need to be checked (see point
This distance is increased by normal wear of the mixer and may need to be readjusted.
