NOTE:
The battery should be charged once a month during the season to maintain
full power and extend its useful life.
Preparation for winter
Drain water from the machine:
Water can only be drained from the machine with air.
Use the special compressor for draining.
REMEMBER!!
Open the filter coupling.
Open the valve in the base of the turbine
On machines with high pressure stops START to open the main valve and
allow the water to flow out freely. (Disconnect battery lead so stop valve
does not close again.)
Remove the battery and do not install it until the next time you use the
machine.
Lubrication of:
Front wheel hubs, front spindle, hose guides, bearings on hose guides,
wheels.
Check for water in the oil in the rear axle assembly and hydraulic tank. Oil
in the rear axle assembly / flat gear should be changed every 1,000 hours.
Hydraulic oil and filter should also be replaced every two years.
Lubricate the steering, roller chain for hose guides, roller chain for forward
traction, cross track shaft for hose guide with water-repellent grease.
Check tyre pressure:
Guide pins should be replaced every year.
Check the following before calling a technician:
1. If the machine is irrigating, but not moving:
a. Check that machine is in gear.
b. Check if it is performing pre-irrigation or post-irrigation. (can be
seen on the display under menu 3.)
c. Check if pressure drop valve is closed.
d. Check that end stop sensor is in place.
(Can be seen on the display under menu 2.)
Faults on the Irrigator
e. Check that toggle switch is in operation position.
f. Check that decoupling valve is closed (for hydraulic motor).
g. Check that filter at turbine outlet is not blocked.
h. Check that turbine can turn easily.
2. If the machine does not wind up the hose properly, it may be
that:
a. The hose guide needs to be adjusted:
To adjust the guide, remove the chain from the hose guide to
the cross track shaft. Then turn the cross track shaft until the
hose guide fits the hose again. Then fit the chain.
b. The guide pin is worn and needs to be replaced.
c. There is not enough pressure on the drum winder. (call a
technician).
3.
Front and rear forced steering are not aligned and forced steering
is sprung on impact:
a. There is a leak at the coupling or assemblies, so the oil has
drained out, leaving air in the system.
b. The system must be vented. (call a technician).
