Operating instructions Starting the FM4400H Secure the drawbar with the long ground spikes. Lower the drawbar over the hose and release the safety stop so the hose reel runs on the Move the machine to the field in the transport position. When the hose.
Check tyre pressure: Rear wheel air pressure: FM 4400H: 2.9 bar Front wheel air pressure: FM4400H: 4.1 bar Check that front and rear drawbars line up. Remember to close the decoupling valve (Lever "1" must be pulled out) and to engage with the coupling lever.
NOTE: h. Check that turbine can turn easily. The battery should be charged once a month during the season to maintain full power and extend its useful life. If the machine does not wind up the hose properly, it may be that: a.

MENU 3 PRESS SENSOR STOP SENSOR SPEED. SENSOR MOT1 0.0 A MOT2 1.8A PRESSURE SENSOR Shows that the pressure is high when block is lit. The machine can only move when the pressure is high. If no pres- sure sensor is fitted (machine data 14 = 0), the machine will move regardless of pressure status. The machine can be fitted with analogue pressure sensors.

MENU 4 ACTUAL SPEED 22m/h START 0:00 STOP 7:43 WORKING HOURS 123t 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.

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.

STATUS Status messages in display **RUNNING** Machine has not been started, anyway speed pulses is received and it is trying to maintain the speed requested. RUNNING: The machine is irrigating, and everything is working properly. LOW PRESSURE: Water pressure is below pressure switch treshold. Machine acts depending on Machine data. STARTING: Operator has pressed START key, and start sequens is in process.

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.

Combining the various constants: The machine will always be able to run with the factory-set constants. However, there will be different conditions from farm to farm and from machine to machine. Many requests can be met by changing the constants. Slow start-up of turbine.
