INSTALLATION (part III)
ASSEMBLY THE MACHINE
A)
Fix the drawbar in its seating with its pin. The drawbar is designed for two different situations: position the
double fold upwards for normal movement or turned downwards (at 180°) when towed by a tractors,
walking tractor, etc.
B)
Put the turbine/gear drive unit (1) in its seating on the chassis and attach the rubber hose (2) (already
connected to the drive) to the hose connector on the wheel axle. Tighten the hose clamp (in the accessory
kit) firmly.
C)
Fix the disengage rod (4) on the gear unit (5) using a cotter pin (6). Use the top hole on the gear unit .
D)
Screw the rain gun plate (7) to the tapped sleeve in the hose. Screw the rain gun (8) onto its carrier plate
(7).
E)
If the machine has the optional rain gun carriage, assemble the carriage and attach it with its quick couple
to the fitting on the polyethylene hose. Next fix the rain gun (8) onto the carriage. Always check to make
sure that the disengage lever control rod is between the rain gun and the machine (for machines with rain
gun carrier plate (7)).
RM Spa declines any and all liability for injury to persons or animals or damage to
property caused by oversight or improper installation and connection work carried out on
the machine.
ATTENTION
USING THE MACHINE (Part IV)
OPERATING
A)
P1 e the equipment in frontal position compared to the ground stripes to sprinkle. Place the wheel axle
perpendicular to the direction of hose unwinding.
B)
Provide to the anchorage by compressing the punches (10) on the ground. If the ground is wet, anchore
more the machine.
C)
Take off the brake shoes (11) and the engine (12). In order to facilitate this operation, pull upwards the
engine shoe (12) by taking off the brake shoe (11), then take off the engine shoe.
D)
Unwind the hose. Place the plate (9) in the wished point to start the irrigation. Keep the spool braking
through the brake-clutch device (13) by closing the handwheel (14).
E)
For a good rewinding, leave at least two hose spires wrapped against the edge, around the spool, one
next to the other. The other spires have to be perfectly tight on the spool.
F)
Put the shoes in on-position (11 and 12). Rest the engine shoe on the cylinder, then turn the brake-
clutch device (13) of 180° so that it is not in contact with the spool.
G)
Verify that the hose is unwind for the first 10 ml., perpendicular at the spool axis.
H)
Connect the machine to the water pipeline by feeding coupling (15). Open water feeding, wait the exit of
all air contained in the polyethilene hose. Verify on the manometer (16) the water pressure. It has to be
within the indicated limits. In the machines equipped with Aquastop (Optional), this device has to
be open by resting the “U” steel lever on the proper spline with countersunk seat.
Pay attention: the wireline must be tight.
