9) Adjust the retraction speed:
Adjust the speed by closing the bypass lever: to reach the max speed
turn the lever perpendicular to the bypass to shut it off completely as shown in picture 02 position 02.
This way all the water flows through the turbine. If you run the traveler at too low of a speed, it may
stall out. As the hose is rolled up on the drum there is less hose friction on the ground so it may speed
up as the hose comes in.
10) Automatic stop:
When the hose is pulled in all the way, the cart will push on the stop bar and
close the brass control valve (#10 in picture 07). This will in turn close the blue diaphragm valve (#11
in picture 08) and turn off the water.
11) Turn off water supply:
Be sure to turn off the hydrant valve on the mainline and relieve the pres-
sure before disconnecting any of the supply hoses.
EMERGENCY PE HOSE REWINDING
The PTO (power take off ) of the gear box can be used for the emergency rewinding of the pe hose: it
will be connected to the tractor by means of a PTO shaft.
1)
Put the gear box lever #05 in picture 01 in neutral (pulling out position) because otherwise you can
cause serious damages to the gear box.
2)
Connect the PTO shaft to the PTO spline of the gear box #04 in picture 03.
3)
Start the PTO shaft to rewind the pe hose.
Attention:
When you use the PTO drive, the machine doesn
’
t stop the rewinding when the cart arrives.
The rewinding has to be stopped before the cart arrives against the machine. The last 2 / 3 meters
(6’ /
10’
feet) have to be rolled up manually with the hand wheel. Don
’
t forget that the gear box lever has
to be in
“
pulling out
”
neutral position before you start rewinding the PE hose or you will break the
gear box.
Attention:
If the PE hose has been totally pulled out, to avoid an excessive ovalization of the PE hose,
it is better to put some water pressure inside before you start the rewinding.
MANTAINANCE
1
) Lubricate the parts indicated on the machine at least every 20 working hours: the main parts are the
crown gear, the drum hub, the scroll bar (hose guide system).
2)
Change the gear box oil every irrigation season or at least every 3000 working hours.
3)
Check periodically the tire pressure.
4)
Lubricate the sprinkler every 400 hours: only some sprinklers have to be lubricated.
5)
Lubricate the connecting joints of the stop bar (that pushes the brass valve) every 100 working
hours.
