If the pressure water cleaner is present, after connecting the
suction pipes (Fig. 12, Ref. 1) to a water supply with an
adequate flowrate (at least 25 l/min) - do not suck water
from a drum - and the delivery pipes, with the lance supplied,
to the connection on the machine (Fig. 12, Ref. 2), start it with
the left lever (shorter) of the distributor (Fig. 8, Ref. 17) and
begin washing operations.
Make sure not to accidentally operate the pressure
water cleaner control lever during work:
by turning empty it will quickly become permanently
damaged.
- Never direct the water jet at anyone. Never direct the
water jet towards the electrical panel or other delicate parts
of the machine. Do not use the pressure water cleaner to
clean inside the plastering machine.
- For cleaning, fill the hopper with clean water.
- Insert two washing sponges in the pipes still full of material
and refit the the piping on the manifold (Fig. 13).
- Start the machine again so that clean water comes out.
If there is even slightest chance of freezing, open the hopper
discharge, disconnect the pipes and completely drain the water.

14. MAINTENANCE
- Do not move the machine with the mixing machine or
hopper full of material.
- Maintenance must be performed by expert
personnel, after switching the machine off.
If, due to an anomaly, the plastering machine stops during work,
promptly wash the machine and pipes.

Make sure there were no oil leaks from the hydraulic
system, engine or the compressor during the stop. In
case of doubt, check the oil levels with the machine
perfectly flat.
Perform the periodical maintenance operations specified in the
Diesel engine manual.
14.1 DAILY MAINTENANCE
Every day, at the end of work and with the machine running,
grease the two mixer shaft support points (Fig. 14, Ref. 1) and
the agitator support by means of the grease nipple shown in Fig.
14, Ref. 2.
A grease pump is supplied with the machine for that purpose.
The operation is complete when grease comes out of the shaft
glands.
Do not apply more grease, so as not to pollute the material to be
pumped at the start of work.
Every day, check correct operation of the safety devices, and in

At the start of work, make sure there were no oil leaks from the
hydraulic system, engine or the compressor during the stop.
Check the oil levels with the machine perfectly flat.
14.2 WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
Every week a specialised person must grease all the required
points on the machine and also perform a general machine check.
In particular, make sure:
- the mixer shaft and agitator seals are in good condition
- the flexible coupling in the hopper and the eccentric screw
- the delivery manifold is clean and not worn, the pressure
- the air filter is clean; replace it if necessary;
- the compressor belt is in good condition and correctly
- the engine and hydraulic system radiators are clean;
- the battery is charged, the level and specific gravity of the
Also make sure:
- the pipes, connections and respective gaskets and supports
- the distributor, solenoid valves, pressure gauges and
- In general, that the entire machine and relevant accessories
All the indications regarding the type and frequency of
intervention given in the Diesel engine operation and
maintenance manual must be respected.
After the first 50 hours, in addition to the maintenance
operations indicated in the Diesel engine manual, and in
particular, oil change, oil filter change and Diesel oil filter change,
check the tension of the alternator belt, change the compressor
oil and the hydraulic circuit oil filter.

In particular, every 500 hours or 6 months (whichever comes
first) have the hydraulic system filter changed and every 1000
hours or 1 year (whichever comes first) have the hydraulic
system and compressor oil changed.
