MORTAR MIXES CON’T
1. A richer mix will work more easily through the gun.
2. If your mortar mix is plugging or the Quikpoint is laboring
to put your mix out, then use Gibco’s-MRF additive or a
good plasterisizer.
A. Shake before using Gibco’s-MRF pump aid additive.
B. Add to mixing water
1/2
oz. of Gibco’s-MRF to 1
gallon of water. Do not exceed 3 oz. of MRF to 5
gallons of water.
C. MRF is a lime substitute. If there is lime in the mix,
reduce the amount of MRF to
1/2
oz. per 2 gallons of
water.
D. Do not use high speed drill mixers. MRF will slighty
air entrain and may alter (lighten) color in the mortar.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Tool is not delivering mortar out of nozzle
A. Make sure drill is in forward rotation. Tool will not
deliver mortar in reverse.
B. Make sure set screws on Cam-Coupling and
Blade-Coupling are tight.
C. Make sure the Cam-Roller is in place and that the
Vibrator is working in the Hopper. The Vibrator will
not work if the Roller is not on the Vibrator Rod.
D. Inspect auger for wear. Take the Nozzle-Holder off
and look down the inside of the Barrel. If there is a
gap of
1/8
” or more around the Auger, then the Auger
needs to be replaced. If the Auger is not warn and
there is a similar gap, then the Auger-Barrel needs to
be replaced.
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.
B. If the tool plugs, remove the Nozzle-Holder. Holding
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.
C. If problem continues, check the Tip Blades (#503) and
U-Blade (#504) for wear. The Long-Blade should be
flush or no more than
1/8
” back from the front of the
Steel-Nozzle. If wear is noted, replace worn parts.
Note: The U-Blade (#504) usually does not have to be
replaced until 3 or 4 sets of Tip-Blades (#503) have
been replaced.
D. If problems persist, see mortar mix information page.
3. If Nozzle-Holder does not rotate for Vertical and
Horizontal action, remove Petroleum Jelly to the o-ring and
Allen Key stop area of the Auger-Barrel
