WARNING
Acute
Danger of injury!
The machine must not be operated without the guard
fixed in place.
6.4 Installing the water measuring system
1. Connect the supply hose to the external water supply.
2. Open the water valve until a steady water jet comes out
of the hose in order to both clean the water hose of dirt
and ventilate it.
3. Then close the water valve on the external water supply.
4. Connect the external water hose to the
GEKA coupling of the water fitting.
5. Close both the water drainage tap below the pressure
reducer and below the main connection.
6. Lift the end of the internal water hose into an empty
container.
7. Press the water flow button (1) until the float in the
water sight glass (2) moves to the desired amount of
water.
8. By turning the needle valve (3) you can increase or de-
crease the amount of water accordingly.
9. Release the water flow button when the desired
amount of water has been reached.
10. Connect the internal water hose to the
GEKA coupling of the mixing tube.

You can read the current flow rate on the sight glass (2) of
the flow meter. With the needle valve (3) you can regulate
the fine adjustment for the desired amount of water. Follow
the instructions of the manufacturer of the drying material.
NOTE
To ensure sufficient water pressure in-
dependent of the pressure of the supply line, we rec-
ommend the use of a booster pump.

WARNING
Water jet.
Risk of injury and risk of property damage due to es-
caping water.
1. Interrupt the external water supply by closing the water
valve.
2. In order to release the pressure (approx. 2 bar), open
the water drainage valve on the water measuring sys-
tem under the pressure reducer.
3. Remove the hose from the external water supply.
4. Do not point the water jet at other people or yourself.
NOTE
A rubber hose (min. 10 bar) with a cross-sec-
tion of at least 3/4” must be used as the connecting
hose between the external water supply and the wa-
ter fitting.
• Before connecting the hose, check that the connections
on the hose and on the machine match. If necessary, re-
place them with suitable ones.
NOTE
After the end of work (especially if there
is a risk of frost), the residual water still in the water
measuring system should be drained off via one of
the water drain taps.
!
CAUTION
If the amount of water is too low,
the conveyor hose in which the mixed materi-
al is conveyed to the sprayer can become blocked.
This can lead to severe wear of the pump unit
(rotor/stator). It is therefore advisable to start with
plenty of water so that the amount of water can then
be reduced to the required level.
