machine starts. The maximum operating pressure of the water
pump (optional) of 10 bar must not be exceeded!
Observe the rotary direction of the shaft in the
material trough. In order to prevent operation problems caused by
water pressure fluctuations, the Continuous-Flow Mixer
D30 can be provided with a water pump (optional).
The water pump retains the water pressure at a
constant level of 2 bar; an integrated pressure reducer
is also used, if required.
The required quantity of water is adjusted manually at
the fine-control valve; it can be monitored using a flow
meter (optional).

WARNING
Correct rotary direction of the shaft is indicated by
! an arrow on the Continuous-Flow Mixer D30.
If the direction is incorrect, immediately switch the
main switch to position 0 and pull the power
supply plug.
With a screwdriver press the polarity inverter,
located in the input plug, and turn it 180. The
polarity inverter must click back into position after
having been turned.
Insert the power supply plug and start the machine
anew.
