IMPORTANT!
Read this manual carefully before using
your irrigator!
Your new Fasterholt irrigator is a high quality,
Danish built machine, but even the best
machines only deliver top results when they are
properly handled and maintained.
To ensure that the machine complies with the
EU Machinery Directive, only original spare
parts may be used. Otherwise, compliance will
be lost and safety will be entirely at your own
risk.
The irrigator is only suitable for irrigation
with clean water from a drilled well or a
watercourse.
We must point out that any damage caused
by incorrect operation and/or negligence
is not covered by the warranty. Fasterholt
Maskinfabrik A/S only guarantees new
machines sold through an authorised Fasterholt
dealer. Any modifi cations made to the design
of the irrigator shall exclude Fasterholt
Maskinfabrik A/S of any liability and shall void
the warranty.
The Fasterholt FM GT12 is a stationary type
irrigator with a hose drum (rewind machine).
The hose drum is mounted on a turntable and
equipped with a gun trailer lift, so the unwind
direction can be changed without having to
move the machine. A turbine is used to power
the machine and rewind stops automatically
when the gun trailer reaches the machine.
The machine is available with an underpressure
stop or an overpressure stop. With the
overpressure stop function, make sure that the
pump is either switched off via a pressostat
or can dispose of water by other means
when the machine stops irrigation. With the
underpressure stop function, the pump must be
stopped via a pressostat.
The machine must be supplied with a maximum
pump pressure of 12 bar. The recommended
pressure 7-9 bar.
Safety instructions/warnings
If the machine is to be moved via a public
road, the machine must fi rst be emptied of
water.
As this machine is used for fi eld irrigation
involving high water pressure, there is
a risk of injury if the machine is used
inappropriately. The warnings and safety
instructions given here must therefore be
respected and followed precisely.

during irrigation and transport. (risk of
fatal injury)
