!!! Important !!!
READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE USING YOUR IRRIGATOR !!
Operating instructions
for Fasterholt FM 4400H
Your new Fasterholt Irrigator is a Danish built machine, but even the
best machines only deliver top results when they are properly used
and maintained.
To ensure that the machine complies with the EU Machinery Direc-
tive, only original spare parts may be used. Otherwise, compliance
will be lost and safety will be entirely at your own risk.
The irrigator is intended for irrigation with clean water from a drilled
well or a watercourse.
1. Safety instructions/warnings !!
―It is forbidden to stand on the machine during irrigation and
transport
(risk of fatal injury).
―The guards are tted for your own safety - please leave them in
place.
―Remember to tighten the wheel bolts.
―When starting the machine on falling ground, you must be
VERY careful not to disconnect the tractor from the machine
until the machine has been put into gear, otherwise the ma-
chine may run away.
―If a rear wheel is removed, THE MACHINE MUST BE JACKED UP
AND VERY STABLE, because if it overturns, it will fall completely
on its side.
WARNING !!
―To perform an EMERGENCY STOP, pull the cable for the mi-
swinding bar or press STOP on the COMPUTER.
―V-belts may only be tted after the machine has been unwound
for the rst time. (only the rst time the machine is used for
irrigation.)
―The gun must face out to the side when unwinding the ma-
chine.
―STAND ASIDE when the gun is operating.
―WARNING against contact with overhead power lines with the
machine or water jet. Avoid irrigation on or near power lines.
―During transport on uneven roads/elds, move VERY carefully
according to the conditions.
―Max. transport speed with water in the hose is 15 km/h.
―When parking the machine, use the wheel chocks mounted by
the rear wheels.
―DANGER !! Avoid welding in the paint layer! Before welding,
remove all paint from the welding area
―Avoid inhalation of grinding dust.
―Hydraulic oil can be harmful to health:
―Skin contact may cause allergies.
―Inhalation of oil mist may cause lung disease.
―Leakage of oil under high pressure is dangerous, an oil jet can
enter the skin, eyes, etc.
―If a hydraulic system leak is found, stop the system immediately
and rectify the fault.
―Note that due to operation, the oil may be 70 degrees Celsius or
even hotter. This can lead to a risk of scalding during separa-
tion.
―IMPORTANT Maximum battery charging power is 2 amps.
Charging more than 2 amps may cause the battery to crack.
The battery must be charged at a temperature between 0 °C
and +40 °C. NEVER place the battery in a sealed container while
charging. During winter, the battery must be removed and
stored in a dry place indoors in a fully charged state.
―Avoid sparks and ames on and around the battery.
―Do not short circuit the battery.
―Never disassemble the battery.
―If you come into contact with the battery's sulphuric acid,
wash immediately with water. If acid comes into contact with
eyes, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical attention
immediately.
―Pay attention to the battery compartment. If there are cracks,
deformities, electrolyte leakage, etc., replace the battery imme-
diately.
―If the battery is dirty, clean it as soon as possible.
―Disposal of oil spills:
―If oil spills are found, they should be cleaned up immediately
with rags or oil absorbent powder.
―Spilled products, as well as rags and powder used for oil spills,
must be stored in sealed metal containers and delivered to the
municipal collection site.
―Batteries, hoses, tyres and other parts of the irrigation machine
must be disposed of at an approved recycling site.
If the machine is to be moved via public roads, it must rst be
drained of water.

Starting the FM4400H
Move the machine to the eld in the transport position. When the
machine is at the crop to be irrigated, disconnect the tractor from
the front drawbar. Connect the tractor to the rear drawbar. Insert
the electric brake connector in the female connector for the tractor
lights. The machine then winds up in the crop and stops.
Disengage the stop pawl at the hose drum.
The stop pawl at the hose reel is disengaged when laying the
hose.
Remember !! When starting the machine on falling ground, you
must be VERY careful not to disconnect the tractor from the
machine until the machine has been put into gear, otherwise the
machine may run away.
Safety stop
During irrigation
During transport
Secure the drawbar with the long ground spikes. Lower the drawbar
over the hose and release the safety stop so the hose reel runs on the
hose.
Unwind the machine at max. 5 km/h to keep the hose tight on
the drum at all times with the electric brake. If you do not lay the
hose straight out be very careful to ensure that the hose is always
tightened on the hose drum.
The machine should be unwound completely at least every 3rd
time.
Before starting to unwind the machine, reset PROGRAM RAIN. To do
this, press the TOGGLE SWITCH located on the side of the electric box
upwards (reset).
When unwinding the machine, the TOGGLE SWITCH must
be in the centre (unwind) so it cannot reset on the way out.
After unwinding, press the TOGGLE SWITCH down (operation).
ALWAYS REMEMBER that the TOGGLE SWITCH must be pressed
down during operation, otherwise the machine will not move.
Preparing the machine for irrigation
Disengage the stop pawl at the hose to enable operation.
Also remember to release the electric brake and disconnect the
electric brake connector from the tractor.

use the machine.
Lubrication of:
Front wheel hubs, front spindle, hose guides, bearings on hose
guides, wheels.
Check for water in the oil in the rear axle assembly and hydraulic
tank. Oil in the rear axle assembly / at gear should be changed every
1,000 hours. Hydraulic oil and lter should also be replaced every two
years.
Lubricate the steering, roller chain for hose guides, roller chain for
forward traction, cross track shaft for hose guide with water-repellent
grease.
Check tyre pressure:
Guide pins should be replaced every year.
Faults on the Irrigator
Check the following before calling a technician:
1. If the machine is irrigating, but not moving:
a. Check that machine is in gear.
B. Check if it is performing pre-irrigation or post-irrigation. (can
be seen on the display under menu 3.)
c. Check if pressure drop valve is closed.
d. Check that end stop sensor is in place.
(can be seen on the display under menu 2.)
e. Check that toggle switch is in operation position.
f. Check that decoupling valve is closed
(for hydraulic motor).
g. Check that lter at turbine outlet is not blocked.
h. Check that turbine can turn easily.
2. If the machine does not wind up the hose properly, it may
be that:
a. The hose guide needs to be adjusted:
To adjust the guide, remove the chain from the hose
guide to the cross track shaft. Then turn the cross track
shaft until the hose guide ts the hose again. Then t the
chain.
b. The guide pin is worn and needs to be replaced.
c. There is not enough pressure on the drum winder.
(call a technician).
3. Front and rear forced steering are not aligned and forced
steering is sprung on impact:
a. There is a leak at the coupling or assemblies, so the oil
has drained out, leaving air in the system.
b. The system must be vented. (call a technician).

START:
The turbine can only start if the magnet is aligned with the end stop sensor (or end stop sensors). See menu 3 for control of the STOP
SENSOR. Press the START key to turn on the water. The regulator valve for bypass around the turbine then closes. (Turbine starts). If the
end stop sensor is not in place, only the main valve can be opened, which then immediately closes again. Used to relieve pressure before
removing charge hose from hydrant.
DEFERRAL OF START TIME
First press the STOP key to shut o the water. Then press the MENU key 3 times and PROG 3 times. The start time can be set using the “+”
and “-” keys. Finally, select pre- and post-irrigation. To exit, press MENU. Info: The clock can only be set forwards.
STOP:
When the magnet is removed from the end stop sensor, the turbine stops and the main valve shuts o the water (turns on the water at neg-
ative pressure). If post-irrigation is selected, rewinding stops when the magnet is removed from the sensor. When the post-irrigation time
has elapsed, the main valve closes. When the STOP key is pressed, the turbine stops immediately and the main valve shuts o the water,
regardless of whether post-irrigation is selected.
SUPERVISION:
Program Rain has a built-in supervision system. The supervision system will be activated if for any reason the machine has water in the same
location for longer than a specied time. This time is factory-set to 20 minutes. If the time is set to 0, there is no supervision. (See constants
on page 17 for setting the supervision time.) If speed supervision less than 50 % of pre-selection is required, select speed supervision to-
gether with the above time.
SPEED:
The speed is set using the “+” and “-” keys. First count up in steps of 0.1 m/h. After 10 steps, count up in steps of 1 m/h. The speed can be
changed at any time during irrigation. If the speed changes during irrigation, the dose and time for the remaining irrigation will be calculat-
ed immediately based on the new speed.

PRE-IRRIGATION:
If pre-irrigation is required, press the PRE- key. The pre-irrigation time is calculated as 8 x the time to move 1 m at the current speed. The
constant can be changed individually for pre- and post-irrigation. (See constants). If pre-irrigation is selected, the machine will move
forward approx. ½ m, after which the machine will stop and stand still for as long as pre-irrigation is performed. Menu 2 shows the number
of minutes remaining of the pre-irrigation time. If you want to cancel pre-irrigation, press the START key. This will cancel both pre- and
post-irrigation and the turbine will start.
POST-IRRIGATION:
If post-irrigation is required, press the POST- key. The post-irrigation time is calculated as 8 x the time to move 1 m at the current speed.
The constant “8” can be changed individually for pre- and post-irrigation. (See constants on page 16). Post-irrigation starts counting down
when the magnet is removed from the stop sensor. When the stop sensor is activated, the turbine stops and post-irrigation starts counting
down (see menu 2). When the post-irrigation time has elapsed, the main valve closes. (Opens in installations with negative pressure stops).
For machines with mechanical end stops: The turbine stops when the stop sensor is activated. When the post-irrigation time has elapsed,
the turbine starts and the machine moves to the mechanical end stop. Press START to cancel post-irrigation. If constant “8” (early stop) is
selected, the machine will stop when it reaches the selected distance.
PROGRAMMING 4 DIFFERENT SPEEDS:
The hose must be unwound before programming, so the computer knows the number of metres in the irrigation lane. The following exam-
ple assumes that the unwound hose is 400 m. Press the PROG key 3 times and the display will show:
The desired speed can now be selected, in this case 25.0 m/h. Press the PROG key and the display will show::
