VCI-Mk I & VCI-Mk II
When you receive your irrigator it will most likely be packed onto a pallet. Unpack you irrigator and
lay everything on the ground.
Place the body of your irrigator on an elevated surface approximately 450mm o the ground . Place
the rear axle in the channel and slide the two bolts through the channel and axle.
Fit the inlet to the axle bolts inside the frame so as the opening is facing to the rear and tighten the
nuts supplied.
Fit the front wheel by sliding the rod through the pipe in the front of the frame and inserting the “R”
clip provided.
Insert the riser into the inlet and fasten the four bolts through the bearings onto the back of the
frame. When you have tightened the bolts make sure the riser turns freely in the bearings and is not
rubbing on the edge of the elbow. (If this does happen adjust the elbow and or riser so as its central
in the elbow.)
Put thread tape on the threads of all pipe. Screw the two lengths of four meter pipe into the “T” at
the top of the riser. Make sure they are done up very tight.
Bolt the two pieces of at onto the supplied brackets and to the bracket on the riser. Ensuring that
the pipe is lifted level. Tighten all nut and bolts.
Attach the 16mm rod to the supplied bracket with the at welded to the top at an angle and to
the at at the top of the riser. Be sure to have just enough tension as to slightly lift the pipe. If you
have a VCI-Mk II make sure you bolt the cable bracket on top of the riser with the support arms.
The cable bracket is attached to the top cable a short piece of at with a tube attached. If you have
a VCI-Mk II now is the time to place the two 25 x 25mm uprights over the ends of the arms and
tighten them about 200mm from the outer bracket pointing upwards.
Attach the cable support (25mm RHS joined with a clamp) to the top of the riser directly under the
“T” 90° to the arms and tighten bolts. If you have a VCI-Mk 11, attach the 2 metre length of pipe to
each arm and tighten.
Place the cable anchors clamp over the end of the 2 metre pipe approx 800mm from the end.
Attach the side cables and tighten with the turnbuckles. If you have a top cable (VCI-Mk II only),
place the cable support knob in the uprights and tighten turnbuckles. Be sure to tighten lock nuts
on buckles after the cables have been tightened.
Screw on the outer arms and place them at about 45 degrees, then varied up to slow down or down
to increase rotation speed.
A full rotation should take between 4 and 5 seconds regardless of water volume and pressure, and
turning in a clockwise direction.
