Start-Up Procedure - IRTEC G 4 Manual D’INstruccion De Utilizo Y Manutencion

2.1 START-UP PROCEDURE

1) Tow the machine up to the working site (max. speed allowed
10 km/h).(6.2 MILES/h).
2) Place the machine on the ground by means of the levers of the
hydraulic distributor (Fig.17a) or operating the remote control
(optional) (Fig.17b) and direct the wheels. Place the machine on
the ground and direct the reel towards the area to be irrigated as
straight as possible to the direction of the run.
3) Lower the telescopic anchor feet and the trolley at the same
time, by using the spool valve lever.(fig.17a)
4) Close one water inlet of the galvanized supply pipe with the
end cap (fig.18a).
5) Connect the machine to the hydrant with the high pressure
connection hose (fig.18b).
N.B. Before connecting the hose to the machine it is advisable to
check there is no foreign matter inside the hose itself in order to
prevent blockages at the turbine
6) Put the lever (fig. 19) in the hose pull-out position.
7) The machine is provided with an automatic band brake located
on the gearbox (fig.20). When the hose is laid down for the
first time, check that the automatic brake works properly. If neces-
sary adjust the brake by the spring loaded nuts.
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 com-
pletely 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.
When you have pulled out the hose make sure that the wraps remaining on the reel are close together, if necessary push them in
place by hand.
Caution danger this adjustment must be done when machine is not in operation!
