1.8 Intended use
1.8.1 Purpose of air compressor
The air compressor has been designed and constructed only for the
intended use described in this document.
NOTE
The air compressor is only intended for generating
compressed air and may only be used with connected
work devices. Any other use or use beyond what is spec-
ified, such as with freely accessible and/or open hoses
and pipelines, is deemed to be not for the intended
purpose. Connected implements or components are to be
designed for the maximum generated pressure of 5.5 bar.
The air compressor is to be used only in technically
perfect condition, as well as for its intended use and while
taking into account the safety and hazard information in
the operating manual!

General information
1.8.2 Safety devices of air compressor
WARNING
Danger to life due to non-functioning safety
equipment!
Safety equipment ensures highest level of safety in oper-
ation. Even if safety devices make work processes more
complicated, they must never be disabled. Safety is only
assured when the safety devices are intact.
Therefore:
Check that the safety devices and functional and
correctly installed before starting work.
Use safety equipment at all times.
Do not obstruct access to safety systems such as
EMERGENCY STOP pushbuttons, emergency off
buttons, pull cords etc.
1.8.3 General setup of the air compressor
The air compressor corresponds to the national and international
safety regulations and can therefore also be used in damp rooms or
in the open air. Areas with as clean and dry air as possible should be
preferred. Make sure that the air compressor can suck in the air unim-
peded. This applies in particular when an installation is intended.
The air compressor must be set up so that no hazardous admixtures,
such as solvents, vapours, dusts or other harmful substances, can be
sucked in. The device should be positioned only in rooms where the
hazard of a potentially explosive atmosphere is not given.
1.8.4 Hot surfaces on the air compressor
General information WARNING
Risk of injury due to hot surface!
Surface temperatures can reach up to 100 °C during
operation of the air compressor.
Therefore, always ensure that the air compressor does
not come into contact with exposed body parts during
use as well as for some time after use, depending on
the temperature.

SWING L delivery pump / Part 2 Overview, operation and service
Description
4.2 Functional description for SWING L
The PFT SWING L is a delivery pump that transports the material to the processing point on the construction
site.
Its application is universal, whether fed from buckets or screw mixers.
Runny, pump-friendly and solvent-free materials with a grain size of up to 3 mm can be pumped, injected and
sprayed.
For processing all pumpable lime/cement-based ready-mix dry mortars as well as wet products, paste-like
materials and liquid media. In combination with an air compressor and a spraying gun, the PFT SWING L
can also be used to apply plasters and paints.
4.3 Fields of application
Figure 7: SWING L with HM 2002
For application areassuch as:
Adhesive and reinforcing mortar
Finishing coat
Insulating plaster
Floor filling compound
Fine filler
Masonry mortar
Floor screed up to 60 l/min
... and much more!
page 17 / 68

SWING L delivery pump / Part 2 Overview, operation and service
Description
Flowability / flow characteristics The pump unit TWISTER D 6–3 can be used up to 30
bar operating pressure.
The pump unit TWISTER D 8–1.5 can be used up to
15 bar operating pressure.
The possible conveying distance depends mainly on
the flowability of the mortar.
Heavy, sharp-edged mortar has poor flow characteris-
tics. Runny materials, fillers, paints etc. have good flow
characteristics.
If 30/15 bar operating pressure are exceeded, the
mortar hose length has to be reduced.
In order to avoid machine faults and increased wear of
the pump motor, pump shaft and the pump itself, only
original PFT spare parts such as:
– PFT rotors
– PFT stators
– PFT pump shafts
– PFT mortar hoses
These are compatible with each other and form a
constructive unit with the machine.
Non-compliance does not only cause loss of guar-
antee, but also bad mortar quality is to be expected.
