Start Up & Operation
Step-by Step Operation Continued
2. Lower the stabilizer legs. Manually crank each leg into the ground or hydraulically extend the stabilizer
legs (See Hydraulic Controls Section on Pg. 30) until both stabilizer feet are firmly inserted into the
ground. For hydraulic units, your tractor hydraulics will be necessary, this will also lower the sprinkler cart
to the ground.
Warning!
Never operate the Water-Reel with only one stabilizer leg in the
ground or without the stabilizer feet firmly inserted in the ground.
3. Lower the adjustable jack (see Tongue Jack instructions Page 25), disconnect tractor hydraulics (if used)
and pull tractor around into position to pull sprinkler cart down the irrigation lane.
4. Verify that the chassis of your Ag-Rain Water-Reel is level, if not adjust the jack accordingly. Also verify
that both stabilizer legs are securely in the ground.
5. Lower the sprinkler cart from its transport position (this was already completed for hydraulic sprinkler
cart lifts). Set the desired sprinkler arc and confirm that the sprinkler is equipped with the proper nozzle.
Note: Turbine drive irrigators have a minimum G.P.M. flow requirement. Do not attempt to operate at
flows or pressures different from those listed on the “Performance Guide” decal that is installed on the
machine.
6. Lift Anti-Return pawl (Diagram below). If the pawl is under pressure, attach the PTO hand wheel to the
gearbox PTO shaft and rotate it counter clockwise (Photo below). This will take the pressure off pawl so
that it may be lifted. Lock pawl in up position by pushing slide bolt underneath the pawl.
