2. 0 CHECKING MACHINE BEFORE START UP (CHECK-LIST)
INSPECTIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT
1) Check the oil level of the gearbox and if necessary add SAE 90.
2) Grease the machine thoroughly (all grease fittings) and thereafter
grease every 100 hours.
3) Check the tire pressure
2.1 START-UP PROCEDURE
1) Tow the machine up to the working site (max. speed allowed
10 km/h – 7 mph).
2)Direct the reel towards the area to be irrigated as straight as
possible to the direction of the run. If the machine is equipped
with mechanical rotation connect the winding handle to the
winding device and rotate it to orientate the reel (fig.18). If the
machine is equipped with hydraulic rotation, orientate the reel
by using the hydraulic spool valve lever.(fig. 19).
3) Lower the telescopic anchor feet and the trolley at the same
time. To lower the feet turn the knob of the side hydraulic
pump (fig.20) and proceed pumping with the lever. By turning
the knob clockwise, the feet are lowered; by turning the knob
anticlockwise the feet are raised. If the machine is equipped
with a hydraulic system operated by the tractor, operate the
hydraulic spool valve to lower and raise the feet.
4) Close one water inlet of the galvanized supply pipe with the
end cap.
5) Connect the machine to the hydrant with the high pressure
connection (fig.21).
N.B. Before connecting the hose to the machine it is advisable
to check there is no foreign matter inside the hose itself in or-
der to prevent blockages at the turbine
6) Put the lever (fig. 22) in the hose pull-out position.

7) The machine is provided with an automatic band brake located on the gearbox (fig.23). When the hose is laid down for the
first time, check that the automatic brake works properly. If necessary adjust the brake by the spring loaded nut.
8) Lay down the hose at a constant speed (2-3 km/h) and slow down when approaching the stop position.
N.B. Always leave at least one turn of hose on the reel
.
9) The first time the machine is operated the hose must be completely laid down. Leave on the reel not more than 1 or 2 turns of
hose in order to be able to check the exact adjustment of the hose-guiding fork.
