Start Up & Operation
Start-Up & Operation Procedure
Successful operation of the Water-Reel irrigation system depends a great deal on the operator’s understand-
ing of the proper pullout and start-up procedure. Do not attempt to operate this Water-Reel until you read
and understand the preceding section titled “Precautions when Handling the Polyethylene Tube”!
Step-by Step Operation
1. Pull the Water-Reel to the area to be irrigated, parking your Water-Reel and tractor perpendicular to the
irrigation lane. Pull the turntable lock pin and rotate the spool so that the sprinkler cart is facing down
your irrigation lane and is approximately 90 degrees away from the chassis. Insert turntable lock pin the
turntable slot plate and replace the cotter pin to secure it. Be especially careful to have the spool square-
ly aligned with the sprinkler cart travel path (Diagram Below).
Warning! Do not pull the tube off of the back of the machine. The sprinkler
cart and tube should always be pulled out at approximately a 90 degree angle
to the chassis (diagram below). The stabilizer legs will not hold the load of in-
coming tube if the chassis wheels are not approximately 90 degrees from the
sprinkler cart travel path. See diagram below.
