5. Návod k obsluze
Once properly installed, the Rain Bird PRF075RBY operates automatically. It continuously filters debris from the water and regulates the pressure to a nominal 30 psi (or 40 psi, depending on the specific model variant) for optimal performance of your drip irrigation system. No manual adjustments are typically required for its pressure regulation function.
6. Údržba
Regular cleaning of the filter screen is essential to maintain optimal performance and prevent clogging of your drip emitters. The frequency of cleaning will depend on the quality of your water source.
- Vypněte přívod vody: Before any maintenance, always turn off the main water supply to the irrigation system.
- Remove the RBY Cap: The RBY filter cap has a sealing O-ring and unthreads easily. Unscrew the cap counter-clockwise to access the filter element.

- Zkontrolujte O-kroužek: Check the O-ring on the cap for any signs of damage or wear. Replace if necessary to ensure a proper seal.
- Znovu sestavit: Insert the clean filter screen back into the filter body. Ensure it is seated correctly. Thread the RBY cap back onto the filter body and hand-tighten until snug.
- Obnovení zásobování vodou: Pomalu zapněte hlavní přívod vody a zkontrolujte, zda nedochází k únikům.

| Problém | Možná příčina | Řešení |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Flow / Pressure | Ucpané sítko filtru | Clean the filter screen (refer to Section 6). |
