INSTALLATION INSTALLATION PLACEMENT Place the machine on a horizontal plane; the maximum allowed longitudinal and transversal slope is 5° (FIG.05). FIG.05 Before starting, make sure the wheel with brake is locked. There must be a minimum clear floor space around the machine (FIG.06), free from any obstructions and with a walkway without any holes or dangerous protrusions.
Only use original hoses and couplings. The hoses must be connected by TURBOSOL PRODUZIONE S.p.A. or by companies expressly authorised by the former. In no case shall TURBOSOL PRODUZIONE S.p.A. be liable for damage to persons or things caused by the use of non-original hoses or couplings.
INSTALLATION CONNECTIONS Electrical connection - Connect the mixer’s motor gear power plug (FIG.08-REF.1) and the compressor’s power plug to the socket (FIG.08-REF.2). Before connecting GIOTTO to the construction site’s electrical control board, make sure it complies with the current safety regulations and directives.

INSTALLATION FIG.09 FIG.10 - Connect the water supply hose to the quick coupling of the water pump (FIG.11-REF.1). When connecting the water pump to a container for the first time (or, however, after the hydraulic system is drained or a prolonged stop), the pump must be primed in advance, otherwise the mechanical seal will be damaged.
SAFETY SAFETY SAFETY DEVICES USED HOPPER PROTECTION GRID Fixed protection screwed. Avoid contact with the moving parts inside the hopper. MORTAR PUMP GEAR MOTOR MOBILE SUPPORT Movable protection interlocked. The mortar pump stops when the support is opened. To restart the mortar pump you must reactivate the function.
SAFETY SAFETY SIGNALS The safety signals consist in adhesive labels applied to the machine. LABEL DESCRIPTION REF. Danger electric shocks. It is mandatory to read the instruction manual before starting to operate. TAB.04 It is compulsory to always keep the safety signals clean to guarantee good visibility. It is compulsory to replace the deteriorated safety signals, requesting them from the manufacturer.
SAFETY PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Using personal protective equipment is compulsory in respecting the standards on health and safety at the workplace in force in the country where the machine is used. Employers, managers and operators in charge must know and apply said standards. USING THE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT INDICATED BY THE MANUFACTURER IS COMPULSORY (TAB.05).
SAFETY RESIDUE RISKS Following the instructions and recommendations contained in this manual allows you to use the machine properly and reduce residual risks. IN PARTICULAR: Read the use and maintenance manual before commissioning the machine. The operators at the machine and in the material unloading area must be trained to properly carry out the operations contained in this manual.
USE AND OPERATION USE AND OPERATION OPERATING PRINCIPLE The bags of dry ready-mix are placed on the protection grid, which is fitted with a bag breaker. When the bag is broken, the powder falls into the hopper. The dispenser conveys the material from the hopper to the mixing chamber, where the mixer mixes it with water. The water output is regulated by a cock above the flow meter;...
USE AND OPERATION CHECKS BEFORE SWITCH-ON Carry out the following checks: - Check that the protection grid on the hopper is properly secured with the screw shown in the figure (FIG.16-REF.1). FIG.16 FIG.17 - Check that the mixing unit is properly locked (FIG.16-REF.2) and the gear motor’s support closing hook (FIG.16-REF.3) is firmly closed.

DESCRIPTION Main disconnecting switch Start Stop Speed selector Mortar pump inversion Water pump On/Off Dispenser On/Off Water supplement Water pressure indicator Voltage presence indicator Overload cutout and safety device tripping OTHER CONTROLS FIG. REF.
USE AND OPERATION MACHINE SWITCH-ON Use safety gloves to protect against cuts and abrasions and safety goggles that fully protect the eyes, with anti-fog shatterproof lenses. The gun must never be directed towards the operator or other people. Start the machine by turning the main disconnecting switch ON: the BLUE indicator lights up. This indicates the correct power supply voltage: with correct voltage the light stays on.
Page 30
USE AND OPERATION FIG.23 FIG.24 If at start-up the blue indicator switches off, this means there is not enough voltage. Make sure the supply line has been properly prepared (cable section and construction site’s electrical control board power supply). - Engage and disengage the material dispenser switch using the following sequence. 2 seconds on, 2 seconds off, 2 seconds on, 2 seconds off, on.
USE AND OPERATION CLEANING AND END OF WORK The operator must be specifically trained to carry out this operation. In particular, before opening a coupling, check the delivery flange pressure gauge to make sure there is no residual pressure in the hoses and, in any case, when stepped on, the hoses must sag.
Page 32
USE AND OPERATION FIG.28 FIG.29 - Disconnect the power from the machine by putting the main disconnecting switch (FIG.31-REF.1) on OFF. - Open the mixing unit (FIG.30-REF.3). - Remove the mixer (FIG.30-REF.2) and wash it. FIG.30 FIG.31 - Insert the scraper (FIG.30-REF.1) in place of the mixer, close the mixing unit and, with the dispenser still stopped, start the material pump by pressing the button (FIG.31-REF.2) until clean water comes out.
USE AND OPERATION If the machine is not to be used for a long time, thoroughly clean all parts soiled with dust using compressed air (not water as deposits would form). Electric motors tolerate water sprays but not violent jets. Hoses, thoroughly cleaned inside, must be rolled with no creases, and stored in a dark and dry place.
USE AND OPERATION FIG.33 FIG.34 Remove the material delivery flange (FIG.34-REF.2) and the pump (FIG.34-REF.3) by pulling the chocks (FIG.34-REF.1) from the tie-rods. - Mount a new pump - Put the mixing unit back into its original position and block it. Assembling the screw in the stator Normally, the stator lasts half the time of the screw.
Page 35
USE AND OPERATION near. This potentially dangerous operation must always be carried out with the utmost caution, by an experienced person. DISASSEMBLY OF THE HOSE LINE Before disconnecting the hose line, make sure it is not pressurised. If the line is pressurised: - disconnect the water hose from the mixing chamber, - invert the rotation direction of the mortar pump for a few seconds.

Operations to carry out every 6 months or every 500 hours - Check the air hoses. - Check the material hoses. - Service to be carried out by qualified TURBOSOL PRODUZIONE S.p.A. personnel or by TURBOSOL PRODUZIONE S.p.A. assistance centres. 37/46...
DEMOLITION DEMOLITION MAIN WARNINGS When demolishing the machine, it is compulsory to follow the standards in force in the country of use. Separate the machine parts by type of material (plastic, rubber, iron, etc.). Oils must be delivered to authorised companies who specialise in the disposal of these products. 39/46 561379 - IS16/02 - EN...
TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING 10.1 MATERIAL DOES NOT COME OUT OF THE GUN The operator must be specifically trained to perform the following operations. In particular, before opening a coupling, check the delivery flange pressure gauge to make sure there is no residual pressure in the hoses and ensure there are no other people nearby.
TROUBLESHOOTING A worn stator may cause the leakage of material with non-constant features or even clog the top of the hose for material overheating. - The screw-stator unit must be replaced. 10.2 BLOCKING THE PUMP If the material pump is blocked, proceed as follows: - Turn the machine off.
TROUBLESHOOTING 10.5 OPERATOR INTERVENTION PROBLEMS CAUSES SOLUTIONS Make sure water is coming from the supply hose. Make sure the water filters are clean. If the pressure gauge of the water No water pressure. system indicates a pressure below 3 bar when the machine is started with the water pump connected, provide a 200 THE MACHINE DOES NOT START.
WARRANTY Turbosol Produzione S.p.A. machines are covered by a warranty for a 12 (twelve) month period or 1000 hours of work - whichever occurs first - starting from the delivery date of the machine to the Final user and, however, not beyond 18 (eighteen) months from their shipment date.
