5. Intended application
5.1 Area of application
The METOSWR has been designed for use in the greenhouse horticulture sector.
The machine may only be operated by one person with a minimum age of 18 years who
has received thorough instruction in the operation of the METOSWR and who is already
familiar with the safety instructions and this handbook, both of which they have fully
understood.
The function of the hose reel is to rewind the manually unwound hose with a pre-set
speed during spraying.
The automatic speed control ensures that the winding up speed of the hose remains more
or less constant.
Winding up the hose can be started and stopped by means of a remote control
(transmitter).
The hose reel is fed by a separate pump unit with a fluid to be sprayed.
The METOSWR hose reel is available in two versions:
Type METOSWR structure that is suitable for mounting on a pump-tank trolley
Type METOSWR on pneumatic tyre wheels
Use of the METOSWR for any other purposes is strictly forbidden.
5.1.1 Physical operating conditions
Ambient temperature;
Transport & Storage : 5 to +40 degrees Celsius
Working : 5 to +40 degrees Celsius
Rel. Humidity (RH) : 0% to 90%, not condensing

vicinity of the hose reel.
- Before use, remove crop remains and other waste or obstacles from the work area.
- Keep the METOSWR clean; before cleaning, switch off the hose reel using the main
switch and remove the plug from the socket.
- After using the METOSWR, switch off the hose reel using the main switch, remove the
plug from the socket and wind up the cord.
- Maintain the METOSWR regularly and place it in a dry, frost-free place if it is not used
for a longer period.
8.1 Controls
Figure 8.1; Operation of the METOSWR

Translated user manual (EN-V1) METOSWR 16 / 27
MAIN SWITCH
The METOSWR can be switched on and off with the main switch. Here, the vertical
position is ON and horizontal OFF. When the METOSWR is turned on, the green indicator
will light up.
EMERGENCY STOP
Only use in case of emergency! The main switch must be used for switching off.
- Press = stop
- Turn-pull out = release
With an active emergency stop, the green indicator will blink!
Starting up after engaging the emergency stop
Never release an emergency stop (reset) if you do not know who engaged
the emergency stop and why.
Release the emergency stop only when the dangerous situation has been resolved!
SPEED BUTTON
0 = minimum speed 10 = maximum speed
See for specifications chapter 10.
START/STOP BUTTON
You can use the start/stop button to start and stop winding up the hose.
REMOTE CONTROL
You can use the remote control to start and stop winding up the hose.
8.1.1 Preparing for use
Before the METOSWR can be used, the following steps must be completed, repeat these
operations every time when the hose reel has been OFF and has been moved with the
plug disconnected from the socket.
The METOSWR has an automatic roll-up cut-off that is ‘defined’ as soon as the
hose reel is switched on with the main switch.
oBefore switching on the reel, unwind the hose from the drum a little, this
becomes the automatic switch-off length!
oMake sure that the emergency stop is unlocked.
oSet the main switch to ON.
oThe automatic roll-up cut-off is now defined.
While winding up, the reel will reduce the winding speed approximately four metres before
the automatic cut-off point.

Translated user manual (EN-V1) METOSWR 17 / 27
Upon reaching the automatic roll-up cut-off point, the drum will stop winding up.
Test the correct operation of the METOSWR
oUnwind the hose approximately five metres.
oPress the start/stop button, the reel starts winding up to the automatic cut-off
point.
oUnwind the hose again for five metres.
oNow test the remote control for proper operation, briefly press the transmitter
button, the reel starts winding up to the automatic cut-off point.
oSet the desired winding speed with the speed control button.
The METOSWR is now ready for use!
Drive the hose reel in front of the path to be sprayed, and make sure it is stable and fixed.
Pull the hose and walk to the desired location, the reel drum will be unwound.
Start winding by briefly pressing the button on the remote control.
When the button on the remote control is pressed for longer than 2 seconds, the hose on
the drum will wind up with a fixed (reduced) speed, until the button is released. The above
also applies to the start/stop button on the control panel.
Attention! The hose reel will override the automatic cut-off point with this function.
To start and stop winding, repeatedly press the remote control button once until the
automatic cut-off point is reached.
After using the METOSWR, switch off the hose reel using the main switch, remove the
plug from the socket and wind up the cord.
8.2 Out of use
If the METOSWR is out of use, make sure it is switched off at the main switch, remove the
plug from the socket and wind up the cord.
Provide a level surface and protect the METOSWR from direct sunlight. If after a longer
period the METOSWR is put back into operation, it must first be inspected as described in
section 7.1 (Inspection before starting operations).
8.3 Cleaning
Regularly remove any remains of plants, leaves, etc, and brush off any sand and dust.
Clean the Pipe rail trolley with a dry/damp cloth and soft brush. It is also possible to clean
the METOSWR using compressed air, provided that it is dry. Never pour water over the
METOSWR or clean it using a steam or high-pressure water cleaner which can lead to
serious damage being caused to the electrical circuits in the equipment.
Every week remove all sand and dirt from the chassis for the scissor sliding blocks.
