Transport, packing and storage
3 Transport, packing and storage
3.1 Safety instructions for transport
Improper transport NOTE
Damage from improper transport!
Improper transport may cause substantial property
damage.
Therefore:
When unloading the packages on delivery, as well
as transport within the company, pay attention and
observe the symbols and instruction on the package.
Use only the specified anchorage points.
Remove packaging only shortly before the assembly.
Suspended loads WARNING
Danger to life from suspended loads!
When lifting heavy loads, there is danger to life from
falling parts or uncontrolled swinging parts.
Therefore:
Never step under suspended loads.
Observe the instructions regarding the provided
anchorage points.
Do not attach to projecting machine parts or eyelets of
attached components and ensure safe fit of the sling
gear.
Only use approved lifting gear and accessories with a
sufficient load-bearing capacity.
Do not use torn or frayed ropes and belts.
Do not lay ropes and belts over sharp edges and
corners, do not knot or twist.
When ropes and chains are used in construction
operations, the provisions contained in the accident
prevention regulation "Load suspension devices in
lifting gear operations" (VBG 9a) should be complied
with. The following sections contain instructions for
scenarios in which ropes and chains are used as lifting
means.

Transport, packing and storage
3.2 Transport inspection
On receipt check the delivery immediately for completeness and trans-
port damage.
In case of externally visible transport damage, proceed as follows:
Do not accept the delivery or under reserve only.
Note the extent of damage on the transport documentation or on
the delivery note of the carrier.
Initiate complaint process.
NOTE
Report any defect as soon as it is detected. Claims for
damages can be asserted only within the valid warranty
period.
3.3 Packaging
For packaging The individual packages have to be packed in accordance with the
transport conditions to be expected. Only environmentally-friendly
materials were used for the packaging.
The packaging should protect the individual components until the
assembly from transport damage, corrosion and other damage. There-
fore do not destroy the packaging and remove only shortly before the
assembly.
Handling packaging materials If no agreement for the recovery of the packaging has been made,
separate materials according to type and size and reuse or recycle.
NOTE
Environmental damage due to incorrect disposal!
Packaging materials are valuable raw materials and in
many cases they can be reused or reconditioned and
recycled.
Dispose of packaging materials in an environmen-
tally-friendly way.
Observe the applicable local disposal regulations. If
required hand over the disposal to a specialist.

3.4 Transport
Figure 4: Transport
WARNING
Danger to life due to crane transport
Transporting the PFT SWING M with a
crane is prohibited.
3.5 Transport by car
CAUTION
Risk injury due to unsecured load!
All persons involved in the loading are responsible for
securing the load properly during road transport. The
relevant vehicle driver is responsible for the operational
loading.
3.6 Transporting a running machine
CAUTION
Danger of injury from discharged mortar!
Injuries to face and eyes can occur.
Therefore:
Before opening the couplings ensure that there is no
more pressure on the hoses (observe display at mortar
manometer).
Carry out the following steps before beginning the transport:
1. First unplug the mains cable.
2. Undo all other cable connections, water supply lines and hoses.
3. Remove loose parts during crane transport.
4. Start transport.

4.2 Functional description SWING M
The PFT SWING M is a small delivery pump with an electronic, continuously adjustable 1.5 kW direct drive.
Its application is universal, whether fed from buckets or screw mixers.
Fluid, pumpable and solvent-free materials up to a maximum of 3 mm granulation can be pumped, grouted
and sprayed.
The delivery pump PFT SWING M offers advantages that all users have come to appreciate.
page 14 / 52

SWING M delivery pump / Part 2 Overview, operation and service
Description
4.3 Fields of application
Figure 6: SWING M
For all pump-compatible ready-mix dry mortars such as:
Adhesive mortar
Reinforcement plasters
Finishing coats
Plastic plasters
Silicate plasters
SPCC restoration mortars
Multi-component masses
For wet products and pasty materials such as:
Finishing plaster of up to 3 mm granulation
Decorative plasters
Bentonite
Adhesive mortar
Reinforcing mortar
For liquid materials such as:
Dispersion paints
Primers
Concrete primer
Flowability / flow characteristics The pump unit B 4–2 can be used up to 20 bar oper-
ating pressure.
The pump unit C 4–2 can be used up to 20 bar oper-
ating 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 20 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.

SWING M delivery pump / Part 2 Overview, operation and service
Description
4.4.2.2 Pump conveying pressure
Figure 10: Mortar pressure gauge
Figure 11: Spray gun
The PFT SWING M pump unit should attain a pressure of at least 15
- 20 bar and a backpressure of approx. 6 - 8 bar when the machine is
switched off.
Checking the conveying pressure and backpressure:
1. Fill the material hopper of the machine with water.
2. Connect the mortar pressure gauge.
3. Connect mortar hose.
4. Connect the spray gun to the end of the hose.
5. Open the ball valve.
6. Switch on the machine until water emerges from the spray gun
(bleed the hose).
7. Close the ball valve.
8. Let pump run against pressure until there is no more increase in
pressure.
If the required pressure of 15 - 20 bar is no longer attained, the
pump must be replaced.
Make sure the power supply is interrupted during the installation
when installing/removing the pump unit.
A new rotor and new stator need to be run in first; actual pressure
values can only be determined after the first spraying cycle.
4.4.3 Material hopper with the tightening torque of the screws
Figure 12: Material hopper
NOTE
The maximum tightening torque for the screws of the
material hopper is 15 Nm.

Description
4.4.4 Mortar pressure gauge
Figure 13: Mortar pressure gauge
PFT mortar pressure gauge
CAUTION
The use of a mortar pressure gauge is recommended for
safety-related reasons.
Some advantages of the mortar pressure gauge:
Exact adjustment of the correct mortar consistency.
Constant control of the right conveying pressure.
Early detection of clogging or overload of the pump motor.
Relieving pressure.
Durability of pump components
Is a major contribution to the safety of the operators.
4.5 Operating modes
Figure 14: Pump motor selector switch
Pump motor selector switch
The pump motor has three operating modes:
Switch position "0":
The machine is switched off.
Switch position "right" (latching):
The machine starts up when the power supply is correctly and
completely switched on.
Switch position "left" (spring return):
The pump motor goes into reverse, thereby relieving the pump and
locking other functions.
