Polyethylene Tube
Precauons for Handling
If your machine is exhibing signs of miswrapping, or loose tube see the Maintenance Secon, Page 28.
Note: If the tube is pulled out in an arc to follow a contour or to avoid an obstacle, the arc should be very
gradual. The arc should not begin unl at least 20% of the tube is rst pulled out straight from the machine.
Under no circumstances should the tube curve more than 90 degrees in its enre length. How well the tube
will follow its laid out path back to the machine will depend mostly on the surface of the ground. For exam-
ple, if there are contours or furrows to follow, the tube may track back very well. If the soil or vegetaon is
slippery and no rows or furrows exist, the tube may slide sideways across the laid out path and the sprinkler
cart will be recoiled back to the machine in a straight line instead of following the intended arc. This will place
an excessive side load on the level wind mechanism and may result in equipment failure or tube damage.
Assembly
Water-Reels are usually shipped with the primary assembly complete. The only items to assemble at the des-
naon are as follows:
1. Wheels. Make sure all lug bolts and axle adjustment bolts are ght. They must be rechecked aer being
towed for any distance greater than one mile.
2. Sprinkler Cart. Aach the sprinkler cart to the tube end.
3. Sprinkler. Install on the sprinkler cart riser pipe.
4. Sprinkler Nozzle. Install the appropriate sprinkler nozzle.
Final adjustment of the sprinkler cart li assembly should be made upon compleon of the rst irrigaon run.
The li hooks should be located directly above the sprinkler cart when the sprinkler cart is completely drawn
up to the compensaon/shut-o bar.
