MISTAKE TO AVOID - A FEW WORD OF ADVICE
- If only a few metres of hose are pulled out, be sure to start the hosereel up
gently. This especially applies whenit is empty.
- Never leave the non return pawl in the up position apart from when the hose is being pulled out.
- Do not suddenly stop and start up again while pulling the hose out.
- Do not start the irrigation run if the hose on drum is not wound on
tight nor if there are spaces between the coils left on the drum.
- Never carry out any operation on the hosereel while the hose is under tension.
- Once the hose has been pulled out the irrigation run must begin within 24 hours.
ATTENTION!
It is necessary for the operator, before using the
apliance to be aware of the instructions listed on the
operator’s manual and on the stickers placed on
protection shields.
DANGER
Before carrying out any work on the irrigation machine
make sure that the pet hose is not under tension.
Do not stand in front of irrigation machine on the
hose side when it is use.

Handling & Loading
TONN 10
- In order to facilitate the loading and
transport, the Hosereel can be partially
disassembled, by detaching the wheels
and turret. The manufacturer or one of its
agents will carry out the machine loading
based on measures indicated
on a table. For loading and
assembly, raise the Hosereel only as
indicated on (fig.9)
Fig. 9Fig. 9
Fig. 10Fig. 10
- If the Hosereel is sent
with the turret completely
assembled hang the
turret as (fig.10)
Fig. 11Fig. 11
- Before loading, verify that
the weight and the dimensios of
the components won't be outside
the legal limits of any countries crossed.
Page 10

- ATTENTION: To raise the Hosereel always use a slide bridge or a crane
of adequate strength.
- ATTENTION: In order to avoid damaging the Hosereel,
always use a beam to raise it. (fig.11)
