____________________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Delta 10.2 Cleaning drainpipes: When and how often? When to clean the drainpipes depends on the weather conditions, soil type and soil structure, on the diameter, type and condition of the drainpipe, and on how accurate the pipe lies in the ground.
____________________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Delta 10.3 Taking into operation 10.3.1 Hitching the machine to the tractor Observe all safety instructions as described in the safety chapter of this user manual. If necessary, equip the tractor with sufficient front weights.
____________________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Delta 10.3.2 Matching the cardan shaft and the tractor Lift the machine to minimise the distance between the tractor pto and the water pump shaft. Support the machine in a sensible manner if the machine is not on the ground after carrying out the previous action.
Page 54
____________________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Delta Cut 16 cm off: front cardan shaft section; • rear cardan shaft section; • front protective sleeve section; • rear protective sleeve section. • Note! The above values are only examples. Deburr the cut sections and round off sharp edges.
____________________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Delta 10.4 Working with the machine 10.4.1 Coupling the cardan shaft between the tractor and the machine DANGER! Apply the tractor parking break, switch off the tractor engine and take the tractor ignition key from the lock.
____________________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Delta 10.4.2 Coupling the hydraulic quick-connect couplings to the tractor WARNING! First switch off the hydraulic control valve of the tractor, then move the three control levers of the machine back and forth a number of times before connecting or disconnecting the hydraulic quick-connect couplings of the machine to/from the tractor.
____________________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Delta 10.4.3 Connecting (electrically) and mounting the rear lighting beam (Only for driving on public roads) Mount the lighting beam on the machine. Insert the machine plug into the tractor outlet. Check the correct operation of the lighting beam.
Page 58
____________________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Delta Connect the transparent suction hose to the pump suction side and fix it. NOTE! Know the maximum pump head. If it is too high, the pump will not suck in any water. Put the suction basket on the float in a ditch (upstream so the suction basket does not suck in used flushing water) or in a water tanker.
Page 59
____________________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Delta Remove the transport lock pin (fig. 22C) from the guide arm. Manually lower the second section of the guide arm until the steel cable is taut. CAREFUL The first operating lever must not be operated simultaneously with the second and third operating lever.
Page 60
____________________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Delta Wear adequate eye protection (goggles). The flushing water leaving the drainpipe under pressure may carry off small hard objects at high speed. Put the end of the second roller bend in front of the drainpipe discharge opening.
Page 61
____________________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Delta Check that the lever on the left (fig. 21A) is in its central position. Put the top speed control valve (fig. 21D) fully open. Pull the lever on the left (fig. 21A) forward.
Page 62
____________________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Delta CAREFUL Do not activate cardan shaft or the water pump when it can reasonably be expected that the water in the pump is frozen. Switch on the cardan shaft (tractor). Set the cardan shaft speed. About 400 rpm (tractor).
____________________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Delta CAREFUL The water pressure must never exceed 5MPa (50 bar). Set the cardan shaft speed to achieve the smallest possible water flow from the overflow hose. That saves energy. Make sure that the pressure indicated on the pressure gauge (see fig.
Page 64
____________________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Delta Turn the speed control valve (fig. 21D) fully open (counterclockwise) when the nozzle approaches the end of the drainpipe. That stops feeding in the flushing hose. Directly put the water pressure controller open at the moment in the nozzle doesn't go any further.
____________________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Delta 10.4.6 Feeding out the flushing hose from the drainpipe (reeling in) HINT! By manually moving the flushing hose guide (fig. 22B) back and forth during feeding out, the flushing hose can evenly be wound on the reel.
Page 66
____________________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Delta Slowly turn the top speed control valve (fig. 21D) clockwise (never shut it!) until the feeding-out speed of the flushing hose is about 20 metres per minute. Make sure the drive wheels do not slip on the flushing hose. That could damage the flushing hose.
____________________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Delta DANGER! In all other transport situations, particularly when transporting over public roads, the machine must be put completely into transport position. 10.4.7 Preparing the machine for transport on public roads Observe all safety instructions as described in the safety chapter of this user manual and ensure that the flushing hose is fully retracted between the rubber wheels as described above.
Page 68
____________________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Delta WARNING! When folding in the guide arm there is risk that limbs get caught. Fold in the guide arm by pulling the central lever (fig. 21B) forward. Fold the second guide arm section fully in by hand.
Page 69
____________________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Delta Switch off the hydraulic control valve of the tractor. Put the hydraulic operating valves block in transport position (90° to the right and fully in) and lock it with the wing bolt. WARNING!
____________________________________________________________User manual Homburg Drain Cleaner type Delta 10.4.8 Unhitching the machine from the tractor Make sure the machine is on a level surface. WARNING! Apply the tractor parking break, switch off the tractor engine and take the tractor ignition key from the lock.
