1. PURPOSE OF THE OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
We would like to thank you for the trust you have placed in us by purchasing this new turbocar.
This Instruction Manual is an integral part of the Machine and has the purpose of providing all the
required information for:
•correctly raising operators’ awareness on safety issues;
•handling the packed and unpacked machine in safe conditions;
•correct Machine installation;
•thorough knowledge of its operation and limitations;
•its correct use in safe conditions;
•perform maintenance operations in a correct and safe manner;
•dismantle the Machine in safe conditions and in compliance with the regulations in force
protecting workers’ health and the environment.
The managers of the company where this Machine is to be installed are obliged – in
compliance with regulations in force – to carefully read this document and ensure
operators and maintenance technicians read the parts that concern them.
The time used will be widely made up for by proper machine operation and use in
safe conditions.
This document assumes the regulations in force on occupational health and safety are
complied with in the workplace where the Machine operates.
The instructions, drawings and documentation contained in this Manual are of a confidential technical
nature, strictly owned by the manufacturer and may not be reproduced in any way either wholly or in
part.

2. HOW TO READ THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
The Manual has been divided into independent chapters, each aimed at a specific operator role
(INSTALLER, OPERATOR AND MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN), for whom the skills required to
operate safely on the machine have been defined.
The sequence of chapters adheres to the temporal logic of the Machine’s service life.
To promote easy understanding of the text, terms, abbreviations and pictorials are used, the meaning
of which is set out in par. 6.
The Instruction Manual consists of a cover, a table of contents and a series of chapters (sections).
The first page shows the models, revision of the Instruction manual, to help the reader identify the
machine and relevant manual.

3. STORAGE OF THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
The Instruction Manual must be stored carefully and must be provided with the Machine through all
changes of ownership it might have throughout its service life.
Preservation must be promoted by handling it with care, with clean hands and by not placing it on
dirty surfaces.
No parts must be removed, torn or arbitrarily modified.
The Manual must be stored in premises away from moisture and heat and close to the Machine it
covers.
On the User’s request, the Manufacturer may provide additional copies of the Machine’s Instruction
Manual.
4. METHOD TO UPDATE THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
The Manufacturer reserves the right to modify the project and make improvements to the machine
without informing the Customers, and without updating the Manual already delivered to the user.
Nevertheless, in the event of modifications to the machine installed at the Customer’s premises
agreed with the Manufacturer and entailing modification of one or more chapters of the Instruction
Manual, the manufacturer shall send to the holders of the Instruction Manual concerned the modified
chapters, with its new overall revision model.
It is the User’s responsibility to follow the indications provided with the updated documentation and
replace the old chapters with the new ones, the first page and the table of contents with the new
revision level in all the copies they possess.
The Manufacturer shall be responsible for the description in Italian. Any translations cannot be fully
verified, hence should any inconsistency be found, the Italian version prevails. If required contact our
Sales department which will make the amendment deemed appropriate.

DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
1. OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Hose reel irrigators mainly consists of a long range irrigator, placed on a rubber wheel trolley
connected to a polyethylene hose.
1 Winder roller or drum or reel
2 Superstructure or upper frame
3 Hose guide system
4 Long range irrigator
During machine preparation the polyethylene hose is paid out. After that, during irrigator operation,
hose reeling in is controlled by the machine onto a horizontal axis drum (roller) placed on a
wheeled galvanised steel frame.
In most cases reeling in is hydraulic with turbine.
A motor pump unit may convey pressurised water into the hose.
Adjustment of the winding or reeling in speed (which must be constant for the whole duration of the
position) is indispensable in order to assure even water height on the irrigated surface.
Almost all models are fitted with a mechanical type speed regulator: the most widespread
regulators are the reel probes (bar joint) that act on bypass.
The Machines have been solely designed and constructed for irrigation of agricultural plots with
any kind of crop, parks, sport facilities and hothouses.
They essentially consist of:
2.1 turbine;
2.2 gearbox with gears in oil bath;
2.3 safety devices for PTO and reeling in out of stowed position;
2.4 motion drive to the roller via crown gear (double crown for large machines);
2.5 hose guide moved by worm screw;
2.6 bypass to adjust speed;
2.7 glycerine pressure gauge;
2.8 digital metre counter;
2.9 turntable and holder;
2.10 base rotation and lifting/lowering of the trolley loader, of the drawbar lifting foot and of the
right and left wheels, actuated by hydraulic system;
2.11 trolley loader and parking feet;
2.12 2-wheel frame (4 for larger machines) with water system with double inlet;
2.13 2-wheel irrigator traveller;
2.14 irrigator with set of nozzles;
2.15 Polyethylene (PE) hose.
