The manual was spot on for this machine so have downloaded it for future reference.

Have checked over the whole machine all hoses in working order, before it was put into winter storage in the garden shed ( today -15C here ) having removed the axle and wheels for warmer storage indoors.

Found a supplier for replacement parts here in norway " Grenland Stein Hobby " so when it gets warmer will try some cabbing.


Thanks for your helpful info much appreciated. :)-D

Not much to it.
Make sure that your tubing is in good shape without leaks. Lubricate the motor if required. Check your diamond blade that it doesn't catch in the slot..
Check if your wheals, looks like carbide, are ok, connect your water source and off you go.
Email if need more help.

Looking at their web site this looks pretty similar:

This manual might still apply:

Though you should contact Barranca to confirm.
