Faults on the Irrigator REMEMBER !! Before unwinding the hose: Check the following before calling a technician: Open the filter coupling. Open the valve in the base of the turbine. 1. If the machine is irrigating, but not moving. Check that machine is in gear. Check if it is performing pre-irrigation or post-irrigation.
Technical data 8. Data for FM 4400 Hose PEMD 100 mm: Capacity up to 55 m3 - hose length from 200 to 550 m. Hose PEMD 110 mm: Capacity up to 75 m3 - hose length from 200 to 450 m. Wheel size: Rear wheels: 12.4"x36"...
Nelson SR 150 is factory-adjusted to Danish conditions and ready to use after the following three steps: Select and install the nozzle size that best suits your application. Performance data for the different sizes are shown in the table below. Adjust the stop on the part circle to obtain the desired irrigation angle.

(Zone active) DOSE The dose is calculated from the speed and constants and shows the current number of mm for irrigation. As SPEED increases, DOSE decreases.
Page 16
MENU 4 CURR. SPEED Shows the current speed. That is, the speed at which the machine is moving now. This can be used to find how fast the machine can move. The current speed may differ slightly from the set speed, especially at the start. This does not matter, as regulation ensures that the average speed within 10 metres is correct.
Page 17
PRE-IRRIGATION: If pre-irrigation is required, press the PRE- key. The pre-irrigation time is calculated as 8 x the time to move 1 m at the current speed. The constant can be changed individually for pre- and post-irrigation. (See constants). If pre-irrigation is selected, the machine will move forward approx. ½ m, after which the machine will stop and stand still for as long as pre-irrigation is performed.
Page 18
There are a variety of constants that can be modified by the user. These constants will be stored for many years, even if the battery is removed. Programming procedure: Adjust the speed to 11.1 m/h to access the constants. Press the PROG key 3 times in quick succession to access and change the constants. Press the PROG key again to count forward to the constant you wish to change.

Troubleshooting: The turbine does not start when the START key is pressed. Answer: The magnet at the stop sensor is not in position or the sensor or sensor cable is damaged. Stop sensor: The mark must be on when the magnet is in position and off when the magnet is removed. See Menu 3. A damaged cable can be assembled in an epoxy moulded assembly or with shrinkable tubing and glue.
