Maintenance & Adjustments
Level Wind Timing
Proper ming of the levelwind mechanism is essenal for the successful operaon of the Water-Reel. Improp-
er levelwind ming will result in mis-wrapped tube. Travel will be interrupted because the auto compensa-
on/shut-o bar will stop the drive system in order to prevent damage to the irrigaon tube.
Warning! Do not connue to operate if the tube is not winding properly! Operaon of a
machine that is not winding properly may result in machine damage or personal injury.
IMPORTANT! If the machine levelwind appears to be malfunconing, be posive that the levelwind ming is
really at fault before aempng to change the ming. If the tubing is loose on the spool the levelwind system
will appear to be out of me. Possible reasons and soluons are:
1. Tube coils were not packed ghtly on drum when operaon was started. This can be caused by consist-
ently making paral runs (more than 1 layer of tube remaining on drum) or by ignoring loose coils at
startup.
2. Tube egg shaping or deformaon (boom layer) due to winding via engine or PTO while the tube is not
under pressure. This can be xed by pulling all the tube out, pressuring the tube up with water and allow-
ing the sun to warm the tube unl its shape is regained.
The only way to verify ming is to follow the instrucon below:
