1. General

We presume that you are experienced in the eld of irrigation. We have therefore kept these instructions

brief and included only the information that it is imperative for you to have to use this product.

Any warranty claims can be accepted only if the sprinkler is used in accordance with these operating

instructions and if any defect emerges within the warranty period.

We reserve the right to make changes in line with technological advances, including without prior notice.

2. Safety

ese operating instructions contain some fundamental instructions that must be followed when

installing, operating, servicing and maintaining the sprinkler. It is therefore imperative that these

instructions are read by the installer and the relevant specialised sta / operators prior to installation and

startup.

Attention must be paid not just to the general safety information set out in this ‘Safety’ section, but also

to the special safety instructions included in the other sections.

2.1. Use of symbols in these operating instructions

Where failure to follow safety information can place individuals at risk, such information is specically

marked in these operating

instructions with the general danger symbol:

Warning of potential automatic start-up

In the case of safety information, where failure to follow it can damage the sprinkler and/or impair its

function, you will see the word: WARNING!

2.2 Proper use

e sprinkler is used for the even distribution of water onto lawns, green spaces and sports elds laid with

natural or articial grass. e water should be pre-cleaned and free of any coarse or brous contamination.

e water and ambient temperatures must be below the limits specied in the technical data.

2.3 Clearly improper use

• Operation of the pop-up sprinkler by unauthorised personnel (if the control unit is freely accessible).

• Operation of the sprinkler with the acrc to be watered wrongly set, e.g. as the result of vandalism. is

can result in the jet of water being directed to the side away from the grassed area.

2.4 Safety information

Read the operating instructions, especially the safety information, before starting any work

on or with the sprinkler.

e specic safety instructions appear at the start of each section.

2.5 Dangers of failing to observe safety instructions

Failure to observe safety instructions can result both in people being placed at risk and in damage to the

environment and machine. Failure to observe safety instructions can lead to the loss of any rights to claim

compensation.
