unigreen 114.5 CARDAN SHAFTIn some models this is supplied on request.The cardan shaft must bear the CE mark.It must always have its own instructions that must be followed scrupulouslyand it should come with a cover bearing the mark, integrated in every part.You should have previously checked the length to avoid:= if it is too long, DANGEROUS THRUST ON THE PUMP SHAFT= if too short, the POSSIBILITY OF DANGEROUS BREAKAGESTHE MINIMUM OVERLAP OFTHE TWO TELESCOPICTUBES MUST NEVER BELESS THAN 1/3 OF THELENGTH OF THE TUBES.The power that can be transmitted by the cardan shaft must be at least equalto that required to run the atomiser.These power ratings are indicated in tables N° 14A-15A-16A (pages 37-38-39).a) Hook any safety chains to solid anchor pointsb) Check that the button or ringnut “E” (FIG. 6) is correctly engaged andblocked both on the pump side and on the tractor side.c) Don’t exceed an inclination of 30° in any direction for any reasond) With the machine stopped, periodically grease the spiders and the pipes,keeping the connecting zone particularly clean.e) Avoid letting the end of the cardan shaft come into contact with theground with the machine stopped; use the relevant support on some versionsfor this, if your machine has no support, hook the external safety chain to apart of the frame of the machine (ex. control unit support).NEVER USE THE CARDAN TRANSMISSION IF THE FOLLOWINGPROTECTIVE COVERS ARE MISSING:- TRACTOR POWER-TAKEOFF PROTECTIVE COVER- CARDAN SHAFT PROTECTIVE COVER- FIXED PROTECTIVE COVER ON THE PUMP SHAFT4.6 PUMPWhen using the pump scrupulously observe the instructions in the enclosedhandbook supplied by the manufacturer.The pump can be identified by the ratings plate on the same; the main data onthe pressure and delivery are easy to find on this plate.Normally the pumps mustn’t exceed 550 RPM; a higher speed won’t improveperformance but there is a risk of compromising the life and safety of thepump.There is a safety valve on the pump, calibrated to prevent overpressure. Don’ttamper with this valve for any reason and don’t block or obstruct the pipesconnected to it in any way.4.7 SUCTION FILTERThe sprayer is fitted with a suction filter with filter cartridges that have roughlya 50-gauge mesh, which is equivalent to a hole of 0.4 at 0.35 mm.An efficient filter lets the sprayer work properly.You should periodically check that the filter cartridge is clean, this checkshould be done more often if there are impurities in the liquid.To inspect the filter cartridge wear rubber acid-proof gloves as the liquid in thefilter can come into contact with your hands when you open the filter.Don’t perform this operation with the pump running as the depressionproduced blocks the cover preventing the removal.Before removing the cover of the filter, make sure that the same is isolatedfrom the tubing by unscrewing the relevant rear valve (FIG. N°8).After washing the cartridge, reassemble the cover making sure you connectthe same to the circuit again, using the valves described above in theopposite order.WARNING!: Don’t disperse the washing residues in the environment!!FIG. 8Valve FilterDon’t use the sprayerwithout having consultedthe enclosed handbook.FIG. 7FIG. 6
