Start Up & Operaon
PTO Rewind
Your Kifco Ag-Rain Water-Reel is equipped with a PTO spline (540 rpm) for emergency retracon. If it is neces-
sary to retract the tube with the PTO sha this should always be done with the tube under pressure – water
running. This will avoid collapsing the tube by maintaining the operaonal water pressure during the enre
PTO rewind. The tube may collapse or egg if you are using the PTO rewind and do not have the proper water
pressure.
Remove the yellow sleeve from the PTO input sha and remove the locking key prior to connecng to your
tractor.
Cauon! Failure to remove the Locking Key from the spline before connecng to your tractor may
severely damage or break the spline!
To operate:
1. Posion tractor adjacent to the drive side of Water-Reel
2. Engage the drive by turning the clutch pin clockwise and locking it back into posion.
3. Advance Tractor PTO at a consistent speed
4. Observe that the tube is winding in a ght and consistent manner and is in me with the level-
wind fork.
5. STOP the PTO rewind prior to the cart reaching the shuto bar.
6. Remove PTO sha
7. Use the hand crank to wind the nal distance.
Warning! When using the PTO rewind, the compensaon/shut-o bar will not stop the machine!
The operator must manually stop the rewind process. Failure to stop the rewind process while
using PTO rewind will result in serious machine damage!
