Start Up & Operaon

Step-by Step Operaon Connued

16. Conrm the sprinkler is operang as expected and in the desired arc. The arc of the sprinkler will aect

the precipitaon applicaon of the system. Note the “Precip Rate” column on the performance guide lo-

cated on the Water-Reel. The lowest precipitaon rate will occur when the sprinkler is operang a full

360-degree circle.

Warning! Exercise the compensaon/shut-o bar to conrm that the engine and/

or gearbox, stop retracon when the sprinkler cart

reaches the machine. This conrms that the turbine

gate is properly adjusted and working. Always exercise

the compensaon/shut-o bar each me before the unit is restarted

to conrm proper operaon (See Page 26 for Adjustment). Do not

allow the machine to operate if the shut-o system is not working

properly. Damage will result if the machine fails to stop when the

irrigaon tube is completely rewound.

17. Observe pressure, travel speed, and sprinkler operaon. See the “Specicaon” secon of this manual for

performance informaon and then adjust speed to the desired travel rate.

18. When the sprinkler cart completes the irrigaon run and has contacted the compensaon/shut-o bar,

the retracon of the tube will stop. With the irrigaon run completed, stop the pump, li the sprinkler

cart into transport posion, retract the stabilizer legs, disconnect the supply hose, and rotate the spool

and cradle to the transport posion. The Water-Reel is now ready to be moved and set up in a new loca-

on. Alternately, the Water-Reel can be rotated 180° to irrigate in the opposite direcon while ulizing

the same water supply.

Sprinkler

Arc Limits

Note: The upper elbow at main bearing may

leak inially at low pressure, but will stop as

pressure increases.

Note: Arc sengs where the sprinkler never

throws water forward of the sprinkler cart could

make the sprinkler cart track o line. This is

caused by the connuous thrust of the sprinkler

that tries to push the tube towards the Water-

Reel. It is necessary to have some sprinkler

thrust which puts the Tube under tension.

Cauon! Do not engage or disengage the clutch pin under high loads. Engaging or disengaging under

high loads may damage the gear train.
