Start Up & Operation
Tongue Jack
The Ag-Rain Water-Reel models have as standard either a screw type or manual-hydraulic
tongue jack. The tongue jack frame offers a set of 5 adjustment holes to augment the
stroke of the screw by 11 inches. The stroke of the screw is 14 inches. See the diagram
below. The dimensions apply to both types of jacks.
Caution! Do not extend the screw-type tongue jack beyond the stroke
of the screw. Extending the tongue jack beyond the stroke of the screw
may cause damage to the tongue jack.

Start-Up Procedure
Successful operation of the Water-Reel irrigation system depends a great deal on the
operator’s understanding of the proper pullout and start-up procedure. Unless you are an
experienced operator of this type of equipment, do not attempt to operate this Water-
Reel until you read and understand the preceding section titled “Handling the
Polyethylene Tube”!
The following steps are important.
1. Pull the Water-Reel to the area to be irrigated and safely secure the chassis. Rotate
the spool so that the sprinkler cart is facing towards the path of irrigation and is
approximately 90 degrees away from the chassis. Be especially careful to have the
spool squarely aligned with the sprinkler cart travel path.
