Start Up & Operaon

Step-by Step Operaon Connued

Rotate the hand wheel counter-clockwise. This will take pressure o the pawl so that it can be lied. Once

pressure is relieved, ip the pawl up into place. Important! Be careful not to turn the sha too far. Over-

rotang may cause the coils of tube to become loose or tangled. Rotate only enough to relieve pressure o

the pawl so it can be lied. Make certain to replace the key into the sha once complete and then replace

the yellow sleeve & safety guard.

10. Disengage the Gearbox via the Clutch Pin before pulling the tube out. Pull the clutch pin out and turn to set

in the groove (See clutch pin posions below).

Warning! Never pullout the guncart with the clutch pin engaged. This will severely damage the

gearbox.

11. Pull the sprinkler cart out the desired distance using your tractor; ulizing the chain, clevis and pin provided.

Use a gear in your tractor that will not exceed 3 MPH at full throle. Pull the tube out at a steady rate and

do not exceed 3 MPH. Do not start and stop during pull out as this contributes to spool coasng and may

result in loosening of the tube. Slow the tractor to 1 MPH or less for y feet prior to stopping. If this is the

rst run, pull out the full length of the tube. It is important that the rst run be a full length run so the

tube becomes packed ghtly on the reel and Timing can be veried. Refer to page 28.

Cauon! If the tube is pulled out in an arc, the rst 20% of the tube must be pulled

straight away from the machine. Failure to observe this limitaon places excessive side

load on the level wind mechanism and may result in equipment failure or tube damage.
