2 FREIGHT, DELIVERY AND ASSEMBLING OF THE MACHINE
Attention: always work with working gloves!!
To facilitate the freight and the loading/unloading some parts
can be dismantled: tires, drum and upper chassis, legs….can be
delivered dismantled.
The producer of the person in charge will fix the machine on the
loading flat paying attention to the instructions. To load and un-
load the machine it’s necessary to hang it on the 4 points indicated
with the symbol
For example as shown in the picture n. 15
If the machine has been delivered with the mounted chassis
Please hang the hooks the same way as above described: 4 points with the symbol indicated above
(example pict. 15).

14
The following instructions are relative to the machine with several dismantled parts. Follow up
carefully the relative instructions.
Controls to be made when you assemble the dismantled parts:
1) Mount the axles for the tires till the indicated point (pos 36
pict 16) and tight well the bolts to fix them (pos 37 pict. 16).
You can adjust the tire’s width but be sure the axle remains
at least 3 cm (1.2”) inside the bolt pos 36 pict. 16
2) Mount the front lateral legs and adjust the height with the pin pict 18 pos 47, 48 and pict 19 pos. 49,
50) to get the chassis horizontal.
3) Mount the towing bar (pict 20 pos. 52) in its
position and tight the bolt (pict 20 pos. 51).
The towing bar can be one piece only. In this case
you should only fix the bolt 51.
4) Mount the front jack (picture 21 POS 53)
5) Mount the automatic loading
system with the pin pos. 11 and the
disengagement pipes as you see
on pict. 3
Leave the pin outside its hole as you
see in pict. 8

6) Mount the rear anchoring legs (left
and right side) as you see in pict.10
Place the leg as in the picture and fix it
with the pin pos 35 pict 15 and fix the
jack with the pin 23 pict 10
7) Assemble the sprinkler cart as in all the pictures 17. When the cart is fully assembled control the
position of the bottom of the central pipe point 29 and the pe hose connection pipe: they have to be
close to the ground but don’t touch it. In case those parts touch the ground adjust the legs higher.
Picture 17g: when assembling the cart
pay attention to the position of the flange
indicated by the yellow arrow.
The square pipe directly welded
on the flange has to be on top side.
This way the legs will be angled as shown
by the red arrows.

9) Place the hand wheel on the pto shaft pict 11 pos 24
10) Turn the hand wheel anti clock wise and move the safety dog (non return tooth) from pos 12 pict 4
to the pos 17 pict 6
11) Now hook a rope or a chain to the hole pos 25 pict 12 and pull
out 4 m(13’) pe hose.
12) Insert the cart male coupling pict 13 pos 29 in the female
coupling of pict 12. Put and tighten the bolt pos 28 pict 13.
13) Put the safety dog (non return tooth) in pos 12 pict 4
(above this page) and roll up the pe hose turning the hand
wheel clock wise.
When the sprinkler cart is hooked to the lifting system
you need a forklift or two persons to help pushing it up
while you continue turning the hand wheel till when the
disengagement lever pict 2 pos 6 is on the left side (turbine
side) of its run.
14) put the pin pos 10 pict 7 in its transport position

15) take the hand wheel off the pto shaft and place it in its non
working position pict 5 pos 14
3. PREPARATION OF THE MACHINE TO WORK ON THE FIELD
CONTROLS TO BE DONE:
1) Control the gear box oil level and, if needed, add the Sae 90 oil till the window level
2) Lubricate the machine using any
greasing point on the machine
(look at the symbol page 3) and also
the hole of the lever pos 6 pict 2 and
the hole of the disengagement pos 18
pict 7. It’s necessary to lubricate
every 50 working hours.
3) Check the machine tire pressure: 5 bar (70 psi)
3.1 MACHINE SET UP ON THE FIELD
Attention: always work with the working gloves!!
1) To hook the machine to the tractor, lift it a bit by turning the front jack handle. Then, lift up
the front laterla galvanized stabilizers as much as possible and lower the chassis till when the
complete weight is held by the tractor. Take the front jack off and shift the machine till the
working line (max transport speed is 10 km/h or 6 mph on flat roads).
2) Lift up the chassis a bit by turning the front jack handle and move a bit forward the tractor; adjust
the galvanized legs height to get the chassis horizontal and then lower the front jack by turning the
handle.

2) Take the pin of the rotation stop (pict 25 pos 57) off and put the drum in the proper direction
toward the irrigation strip in order to get it aligned with the pull out direction of the pe hose: go
on the back side of the drum and look along the side of the drum its alignment with the pulling
out direction (pict 26). Turn the machine on the turntable till when the drum is well aligned.
3) Put the pin of the rotation stop in its position to stop
the rotation.
4) Lower the anchoring legs pos 21 with the handle
pos 22 and fix them properly in the ground.
5) Take the pin pos 10 pict 7 off and leave it drop down. Put the hand wheel on the pto shaft: turn
the hand wheel anti clock wise and lower the safety dog (non return tooth) from pos 12 pict 4
till pos 17 pict 6.
7) Now turn the hand wheel in clock wise direction to drop down
the sprinkler cart. If the sprinkler cat tries to drop to fast you can
tight more the brake band on the gear box. (pict 14 pos 31)

20
8) Take the hand wheel off the pto shaft and put it in its non working
position (pos 14 pict 5)
9) Hook the towing bar of the sprinkler cart to the tractor and pull out the polyethylene hose on the
field with the max speed of 3 km/h (2 mph). Before you stop the pulling pls reduce the speed
smoothly. Check if the irrigation sector is ok and eventually adjust it. Disconnect the tractor and drive
back to the machine.
Important: always leave at least one polyethylene hose ring rolled on the drum and remember that
along the first use of the machine is necessary to pull out the complete polyethylene hose not leaving
more than one or two rings on the drum so you’ll roll it up with the pressure inside.
10) Place the safety dog (non return tooth) in its working position
as shown in picture 4 pos 12.
11) Connect the main line (hydrant head or pipeline outlet) to the machine by using the flexible hose
and open a bit the hydrant then wait the water comes out from the sprinkler. Then you can open the
hydrant completely.
12) When the sprinkler is irrigating and the pressure is stable you can adjust the speed.
a) turn the by pass lever 45° so the gears inside the gear box will
move: pos 1 pict 1
b) machines with Computer: set up the speed following the
computer instructions.
c) set the left side lever of the gear box , pict 14 pos 30,
as follows:
1 with pressure till 3 bar and speed till 15 m/h
2 with pressure between 3 and 5 bar and speed till 50 m/h
3 with more pressure and to reach higher speed
