BEFORE CONNECTING THE FLEXIBLE HOSE OF THE MACHINE TO THE LINE,
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE WATER PUMPED BY THE PUMPING STATION TO
FLOW ON THE GROUND OR INTO A DITCH, IN ORDER TO
CLEAN THE DUCT FROM
THE PUMPING STATION TO THE MACHINE
, AND TO PREVENT ANY STONES, DIRT
FROM DAMAGING THE IMPELLER OR OBSTRUCTING THE MACHINE’S WATER
SYSTEM PIPES (fig. 5.2.27); AFTER PERFORMING THE CHECK TURN OFF THE
MOTOR PUMP;
(fig. 5.2.27)
6) connect the other end of the flexible hose to the water line (fig. 5.2.28), paying attention so
that all fitting hooks are properly inserted (if the machine has double inlet, ensure the
second inlet is closed with the cap supplied);
(fig. 5.2.28)
7) start the pumping station, so that water reaches the machine and the irrigator; then set the
motor pump to operating speed;
THE PE HOSE MUST ALWAYS BE REELED IN UNDER PRESSURE (WHILE
IRRIGATING);
DO NOT REEL THE HOSE IN ON MUDDY GROUND, FIRST RAISE IT FROM
THE GROUND BY PLACING WOODEN BLOCKS EVERY 10-15 M;
AFTER PAYING OUT THE HOSE, REEL IT IN A FEW HOURS LATER IN ORDER
TO PREVENT IT FROM STICKING TO THE GROUND;
8) once the water has reached the irrigator and the motor pump is at operating speed, adjust
the hose reeling in speed using the bypass lever; this operation changes the amount of
water that goes through the turbine, and consequently the PE hose reeling in speed will be
higher or lower (see paragraph 5.3.1);
AS SOON AS HOSE REELING IN STARTS, WATCH THE MACHINE FOR A FEW
MINUTES AND ENSURE IT IS PROPERLY ANCHORED TO THE GROUND AND DOES
NOT TEND TO SHIFT; IN THAT CASE INCREASE THE PRESSURE OF THE FEET ON
THE GROUND (see paragraph 5.1.4);
