2 Testing
2.1 Testing by machine operator
Before the start of each work shift, the machine operator must test
the effectiveness of the control and safety devices as well as check
the proper attachment of all protective devices.
During operation, construction machines must be tested by the
machine operator for their operational safety.
If defects are found in the safety devices or any other area that could
impair safe operation, the supervisor must be notified immediately.
For defects posing a hazard to persons, the operation of the
construction machine must be halted until the defect is eliminated.
2.2 Periodic inspection
Construction machines must be tested for safe operation by a
specialist as the usage conditions and operating circumstances
require, but at least once a year.
Pressure vessels must undergo the prescribed inspections by
authorised experts.
The inspection results are to be documented and must be stored at
least until the next inspection.

Operating modes
2019-05-13 19
16Operating modes
16.1Air compressor selector switch
Fig. 15: Operating modes of compressor
The air compressor can be operated in two different operating
modes:
Position "0":
The air compressor is switched off (for example for pumping
screed).
Position "1":
For spraying plaster with compressed air.
As soon as the air compressor has built up pressure in the
piping system, it switches off via the pressure cutoff.
16.2Pump motor selector switch
Fig. 16: Operating modes of pump motor
The pump motor has three operating modes:
Selector switch position “0”:
The machine is switched off.
Selector switch (latching):
The machine starts up when the main switch is switched on.
Selector switch left (spring return):
The pump motor goes into reverse, thereby relieving the pump
and locking other functions.
16.3Water selector switch
Fig. 17: Water selection switch
The RITMO XL can be used for two application areas:
Selection switch (latching):
The machine is operated without water.
Use as pump.
Selector switch left (latching):
The machine is operated with water.
Use as mixing pump.
