If I was u get someone that can use the ritmo to come and work with u for a few days.
 
Depending where your based, I would get in touch with your nearest PFT dealer who will show you the ropes.

Did you buy from a pft dealer, speak to ian at PFT Wales he'll give you the training you need

If not from PFT Wales get Ian to train you anyway. There will probably be a fee but you will find it is worth every penny. I had training at PFT Northern and if I hadn't the monojet jet would have been skipped on it's first day!

Isn't Knauf doing a MP Finish training day on the 18th?

Yes it is mate, surprised you remember! That was a while back! Can you sort out some training for me? Would be much appreciated!
 
yes no problem at all. first thing i suggest is have the machine checked over. we do a yearly MOT. then once we know what we got we can arrange a training day up the depot.
 
It is the one off ebay mate! Although Andy m, all isn't rosy, the machine is fine, Ian at pft wales looked over it for me, it turned up without a compressor! (As described) so am going through a case with ebay! Bit of a gutter!
 
Yes mate it was deffo advertised with the compressor so chase that one up. To be fair ,Rhys, Im really after the ritmo m as its for smaller rendering jobs so I would of had to convert it over from the skim set up. Best of luck with your new purchase and hope you get sorted with the compressor.
 
******* ebay! In all fairness though dai from what I've learnt of here you might want to upgrade the compressor anyway
 
Oh we'll finally got a reply off ebay because the seller has ignored me throuought! I asked that I be reimbursed enough to buy a new compressor, or a full refund to look for another machine, & it's the latter ebay has decided on, but I will loose the £100 postage! Gutted, it gets me why someone would knowingly send something out missing a massive component, & effectively try & rip someone off! Bad egg! Oh well, onwards & upwards!
 
What you pay for it? What compressor is missing? If its the 80ltr internal you ant going to be using it for skim anyway.

So do you have to send it back to the seller?

Can you nick the skim trigger as compensation and flog it to me :)

the 80ltr onboard compressor works fine and does the job. if u wanna spend more money on a bigger compressor then you will get improved performance. its worth it if you have work for it but not essential
 
Not certain exactly which compressor curry, all it said was compressor included! I'm assuming it's the on board one! Spewing!
 
Ye curry, I've got to send it back to the seller! And I've got to pick up the postage!
Why not keep it? You can get a compressor for a few hundred quid mate, you got a good deal on the machine anyway and you need it. I cant see the point sending the thing back and being £100 out of pocket. I get that the bloke lied, but get past that and do what you need to do to earn some money.
 
The only pisser with that option is that if you get the render setup then it won't turn on and off with the air
