INTRODUCTION (Part I)
The irrigation equipment manufactured by RM will provide excellent service when used correctly. We recommend
reading these Operating and Maintenance Instructions carefully. The “Speedy Rain” Series 401 Turbine has
been tested to work at a minimum pressure of 3.5 bar and a maximum of 8 bar. If the machine is used at higher
pressure, manufacturer declines any and all liability for any damage caused. If the machine has to be operated
at more than 8 bar, please contact our Technical Assistance Department. The machine should be supplied with
water using a
rubber hose
with a minimum inside diameter of 32 cm.
Water supply can be with an electric pump, motor pump, water mains, etc.
At the end of hose rewinding, the hose drive mechanism shuts down but water will continue to come out of the
rain gun. The manufacturer can supply an optional kit called “Acquastop” which is shut off the water supply to the
machine when the hose has been rewound.
All Series 401 Turbine Speedy Rain irrigation systems are equipped with a wormscrew hose guide for perfect
hose rewinding.
