WARNING
Regulate carriage track with the fixing bolts (pos. 7, photo C) for the wheel width required (the track must
never be less than 1,4 m).
To ensure good rain gun skid carriage return, the hose must always be centred between the two wheels.
Lower the carriage with the wheel on the hydraulic pump (pos. 1, photo E). Check to make sure that the
bracket (pos. 6, photo C) is released from the carriage and that the carriage can be towered without bumping
into the bracket.
Check to make sure that all the operations detailed in the sections above have been executed
correctly, the machine is ready to have the sprinkler hose reeled out.
REELING THE HOSE OUT
Follow these steps to reel the hose out correctly:
1. Disengage the ratchet stop dog by turning it 180° counterclockwise (as shown in pos. 2, photo D). To
disengage the stop dog easily, turn the PTO slightly counterclockwise with the handle (pos. 1 photo D).
2. Position the gear drive lever (pos. 7, photo H) pulling it towards right (that is towards the trolley pos.4 photo A).
3. Braking function regulation should always be with the handwheel (pos. 6, photo H) with very slight adjustments
per time before starting to reeling the hose out.
If it is necessary to do a further adjusting during the hose unwinding, use the same handle, having care
not to brake too much.
Completely release the brake at end of unwinding before starting rewinding.
4. Hook up the rain gun trolley chain (pos. 8, photo C) to the tractor.
5. Unreel the hose by towing the rain gun skid carriage in a straight line and, more importantly, at a low speed
(max. 3 Km/h).
If the level difference between the rain gun wheels and the machine wheels is more than
30 cm, the sprinkler machine will have to be repositioned to eliminate this condition. It is
also important to check to make sure that the rain gun skid wheels are not in a dip when
the carriage contacts the disengage bracket.
The support legs must not be cranked down with the handle more than 15 cm. If this
has to be done, first change the hole in the bracket.
WARNING
IT IS ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN to accelerate abruptly, slow down suddenly or change gear
when unreeling the hose.
If this prohibition is not observed, there is a real risk of over-running the hose and breaking it.
Leave at least one and a half turns of hose on the reel. If the machine cannot be seen at the end of
the unreeling, have a second operator give a clear and certain signal that the hose is approaching the
end of the reel. This will prevent the hose from being detached from the machine.
