I bought a Ritmo this week and had a bit of training and thought I've got it . Until I started today and it all went blank so I got on the phone to pft and they ran tough the set up and off we went until I for some reason I turned the speed down and the mix was like piss and it lost the psi on the hose gauge and it was everywhere . So I cleaned the machine off and pissed off home . Not a good first day .

Why did you turn the speed down. I haven't tried playing with the speed yet. When I set the machine up at speed 10 it stays there.

On my first day I went in on my own. Did the beading and then set the machine up 3 times lol. I then put the render though the hose and blocked it. I didn't panic. I got it on blocked and cleaned out the machine. And set it up again. I changed the water setting so the render would be wetter. I got it though the hose after I did that. I had a problem with the airline so I got pft on the phone had me going in less than 5 min. I was delighted i had them problems that day so I could learn from them it's a pity I hadn't more that day tbh. As it's the best way to learn.

One day more than me bro and one giant leap forward for plasterer kind..tell us some of the good points of getting it as well ?
Must of been buzzing when you picked it up I know I would be
:birras:
 
I'm still new to machines so every time I set mine up I'm shitting it incase something isn't working as it should be. In the months I've had it I've ran into loads of problems and have learned but I still keep thinking there's another one round the corner. Does that feeling ever go?
 
I always f**k up. Every time Iv set my machine up iv blocked it! For one reason or another. That's what you get for buying second hand lol.

I'm feeling good about Monday tho! It's gonna go smooooooth!

Why would buying second hand make your machine block?
It's always the guy setting up the machines fault if it fooks up
 
Iv got a strata mp016.

My machine gets blocked because buying second hand u don't get the training you need when you buy a machine. But you don't know you need it until you have one.

Once the pump is up and running it's great tho. It's worth all the suffering. Iv done 5 jobs now and I'm now getting the hang of it.
