- If the motor is electrically operated, it must be earthed.
- Care should be taken not to touch the electrical wires when the pipes are carried.
- First run the system at a small flow rate and fill the Lateral and intermediate pipes with water and open the tubing for a short time to clean the pipeline.
- The pump suction pipe must be fitted to prevent foreign bodies from entering and do not block the sprinkler nozzles.
- The displacement time of the laterals must be determined.
- The position of the laterals should be well adjusted according to the wind condition to ensure the sprinkler distribution is suitable. ;
- Grease or similar oils must be used for the lubrication of pipes and sprinkler heads.
- When watering is done, the gaskets should be stored and stored in a box.
