Start Up & Operation - Engine Drive
Safety Shut Off Adjustment
As previously discussed Engine Drive models are equipped with an engine shutoff switch (primary) and a gear-
box shutoff (secondary) which shifts the gearbox into neutral. This is accomplished by the shutoff and hose
retention bar. (Turbine Drive Models only have the gearbox shutoff.) This can be adjusted as follows.
 Adjust the actuator bolt on the lower left of the hose retention bar so it shifts the gearbox into neutral
just as the top of the hose retention bar distance between the bar and the last layer of tube is half the
diameter of the PE hose (Example if hose diameter is 4.0” setting should be 2.0”).
 In normal operation the engine should shut off with the first movement of the hose retention bar howev-
er if that system fails the safety system stops the drive, preventing damage to the machine and/or sprin-
kler cart.
Functions of the Hose Retention Bar
A. Stopping the unit when the hose reel tube has completed winding on the drum.
B. Stops retraction in the event of mis-wrap keeping the hose from getting outside the drum.
C. Activating the turbine and engine compensation to vary the speed of the drum.
Stopping the Water Reel
The guncart pushes the stop bar on the hose retention bar and pushes on the stop lever that grounds the en-
gine or puts the gearbox in neutral.
