[Vincey]

Nice one

 

[theclemo]

Am picking my ritmo up firday. Big thank you to PFTwales telling me to go to my local dealer in Northern Ireland ramboo tools. And all the advice. I'll be asking more stupid questions tho lol. And thanks to @Rigsby for answering my questions and @MikeAtthis . It's the reason I went for the Ritmo in the end as I can ask the lads off here questions that have the same machine. And the dealer is just a 2 hour drive from me. The only problem is now I'll have to go to work to pay for the f**k**g thing. Still didn't tell the wife i bought it. It will be funny to see her face when see go's to the bank Friday.

 

[Rigsby]

Good luck with it. There will be problems in the early days we all have had them.

I will pm you my mobile number in case the pft dealers cannot answer your call.

Yes there will ...but we've all got to start somewhere I guess plus my arms can't keep smashing 30 m2 on there own anymore

I've 2 small jobs to do and there won't be any other trades about so am going to use it there. So when it goes tits up I'll not lose the head I'll take my time setting up and put the machine on a low speed so I can get the feel for it. When am getting my training am going to video it. As I have the memory of a goldfish. This is the small job am going to do with kilsaran ocr. And hardwall .

 

[MikeAtthis]

Good luck lads

I nearly threw ours in the skip when we got it as it takes a bit of perseverance with, but the service and backups top draw.

What was the problem u had owls so I can watch out for it.

Wetter is better is the one then don't put the cap on the gun before you've got gear coming out of it and keep the air line clean with the round file that is supplied is a good start for you if that helps

Couple of cups of mixed Wallpaper paste in your pipe before you connect it to the pump

Like Mike said wetter the better. Keep the airline file close by that small hole on the gun is my main breakdown.

Lube your pipes well on priming.

There is plenty to go at on that job, speed 8 to 10. Slower may give you problems, keep the stuff flowing.

Just the gear coming out pissy the usual stuff really,
I'm from a diesel back ground so not used to the faff of it all, they take a bit of cracking from the outset. I've not give it a good run out really yet I bought it a bit ago but I've only used it once or twice , it's been sat at the back of my unit for months now with about an inch of dust on it, as I've been using other machines and doing a fair bit of ewi of late.plenty of help on here aswell, most of the rendering ladies have one.

Indeed that's why I bought it for smaller stuff,so I sold one of my diesels to buy it.
It's a spare back up machine really aswell.

What does that do and how much is a new one ?

 

[Johnk]

Best of luck Keith.Its the best bit of kit you will ever buy.Take your time in set up and go through every step twice.tape up electric point and tap and kill anyone who touches them.Most important do not reduce rates because you can cover more than hand balling.

And she can moan as much as she wants at the account on friday its cheaper than her and hookers combined.

It controls the water supply to the machine from the mains or external water pump. Mine was stuck and i couldnt control the water and it was just flowing into the mixing chamber. cost about £40 and i should have it by monday. Think it was my own doing but i wont admit to it.................. Just another lesson learned.

Wrap it up and give it her as a present and if she doesn't like it you can have it atleast the thought was there

So what area can these wee babies cover on a base coat at 10/12 mm I had convinced myself a three phase would be better but think im being swayed to one of these now. Simply for handiness and versatility.
