1 – ALLOWED USING CONDITIONS
The machine has been designed and manufactured for the irrigation of any kind of agricultural area, sport
grounds, parks, and greenhouses.
In case of machine equipped with an engine for the hose rewinding, the utilization could be also for
spreading slurry liquids.
It’s forbidden to do tampering, modifications and fixing (those not allowed to the operator) on the
machines or parts of it, that could change the working or safety conditions of the machines.
The operator must wear the following safety garments: safety helmet, gloves, safety shoes, safety hear-
phones (in case of machine driven by engine). It’s absolutely forbidden wearing tie, scarf and any kind of
flapping garments.
No more than one person must be operating with the machine.
The machine must be used by people that have already read at least once this operating manual and who
have accepted to follow the listed directions.
All the information on the metal plate is required to identify the machine and to avoid any mistake on
delivery of spare parts.

2 – WORKING POSITIONS
Position “1” to:
- Hand moving and hook of the machine to the tractor.
Position “2” to:
- Prepare the machine the PE-hose pulling in or pulling out;
- Hook and/or unhook the sprinkler trolley.
- Adjust the PE-hose pulling out speed.

3 – UNLOADING INSTRUCTION
Unloading operations mean the action to make at the machine delivery or in cases when it is transported
by truck or by trailer.
3.1 The unloading must be done by appropriate cranes or tackles sized to the machine weight:
3.1.1 Put the appropriate lifting bands “A” around the drum axle as specified on the drawing below;
3.1.2 Lift 10 cm the machine from the truck/trailer floor and slowly put it onto the ground;
3.1.3 Take off lifting bands “A”.

A
3.2 With forklift truck : place the forklift under the chassis bottom and paying attention to not swing it, lift
carefully and lay the machine down onto the ground.
3.3 With tractor:
3.3.1 ove the truck/trailer close to a load platform with the same height or, if the truck/trailer has place
the appropriate rails;
3.3.2 Hook the machine to the tractor and unload it at the minimum speed.
4 – TRANSPORTATION INSTRUCTIONS
Transportation means moving or towing the machine by tractor. The transportation must be done:
- at the max speed of 10 Km/h, in case of rough roads the speed must be reduced so to avoid dangerous
losses of balance for the machine ;
- on ways where the max oblique gradient is 15 degrees and the max longitudinal gradient is 30 degrees.
15°

5 – IRRIGATION INSTRUCTION : INSTALLATION
5.1 Tow the machine in an operating area, paying attention that the area is flat, if not make an appropriate
area on the field;
5.2 Prepare the machine so that the pull out trolley is parallel to the same way that it will have to do;
5.3 Dig the staker legs “Z”as much as possible into the ground.
Z
6 – IRRIGATION INSTRUCTION – STARTING AND UTILIZATION
6.1 Connect one extremity of the supply hose “A” to the water inlet paying attention to the fact that the
hooks of junction are plugged in.
6.2 Disconnect the locking pin “B” from the crown wheel “F”.

6.3 With a tractor start pulling-out PE-hose at a max speed of 2 Km/h and keeping a straight lane and a
constant speed, run till the end of the field and lower speed when starting the last 25 meters; in case of
field longer than PE-hose, save 1,5 - 2.0 PE-hose coils in the drum. It is important to make the first irrigation
pulling out the PE-hose for at least 90% of its total length and then rewind it by irrigation.
6.4 Check that the irrigation angle of the sprinkler is the desired one, if not adjust it using the pertinent
devices on the sprinkler (without water) ;
6.5 Start the pump or open the valve between water pipe-line and supply hose, running water into the
machine slowly, as far as the water is starting exiting from gun. After put water at the required level ( 3.5 -
8.0 bar from Ø 40 to Ø 70).
6.6 Fit the locking pin “B” to the crown wheel “F”, turn the wheel “C” right ways and insert the gear using
the lever ”D” in direction of the gear box. It is useful to do some force on the knob “E”.
6.7 As soon as PE-hose pull in starts, check if the PE-hose coils left into the drum are tight : if not tighten
up;.
6.8 At the end of irrigation the end run fin on the trolley will provide to disconnect the gearbox,
automatically the trolley will go on its own seat;
6.9 Switch off the pump and/or close the valve between water line and supply hose.
7 – INSTRUCTION FOR SPEED ADJUSTMENT
With this regulation the operator can adjust the speed of the machine. To do this, it is sufficient to work on
valve “L”, push (if you want increase the speed) or pull (if you want decrease the speed) manually the lever
“G” (see picture) during irrigation.

- WRONG USE OF THE MACHINE
8.1 Do not pull out the PE hose parallel to ditches closer than 5 meters;
8.2 Put wooden rods under the laid PE-hose before rewinding it in muddy grounds ( every 10-15 meters );
8.3 Never leave the handle in the PTO;
8.4 The machine is not homologated for traffic circulation;
8.5 Warning : water spray must not hit electric lines;
8.6 During the moving it is forbidden to get up or sit on the machine;
8.7 After pull out do not leave PE-hose laid on the ground too long because dangerous sticking phenomena
may happen, if it is not possible pull a rope under its total length;
8.8 After engaging the lever into gear control the rewinding of PE-hose and make sure that the machine is
fixed to the ground and does not move otherwise dig the staker legs into the ground.
8.9 When the PE-hose is partly used :
A) To pull out the PE-hose carefully in order to avoid that the remaining part in the drum losses. We suggest
to pull it out at lower speed and to stop it gradually ;
B) To make irrigations periodically, pulling out the PE-hose for at least 80-90% of its total length.

9- MAINTENANCE
aintenance means all the operations needed for a perfect running and for a long working life of the
machine.
All the operations must be done periodically : see drawing on the right and schedule.

- Hydraulics characteristics correspond to a SIME endgun type SENIOR. A different end gun will give different results.
- Pressure at the hose reel inlet are given for information. They correrspond to a operating conditions regularly encountered but can differ from the real
operating conditions. In particular, type of terrain , field slopes, equipment of turbine may impact hydraulic performances of the whole system.
