Start Up & Operation
Step-by Step Operation Continued
Warning! Exercise the compensation/shut-off bar to confirm that the engine
and/or gearbox are stopped (See Page 29) when the sprinkler cart reaches the
machine. This confirms that the engine shut-off switch and/or turbine gate are
properly adjusted and working. Always exercise the compensation/shut-off bar
each time before the unit is restarted to confirm proper operation. Do not allow
the machine to operate if the shut-off system is not work-
ing properly. Damage will result if the machine fails to
stop when the irrigation tube is completely rewound.
Caution! Do not engage or disengage the gearbox under high loads. Engaging or disen-
gaging the gearbox under high loads may damage the gear train.
17. Observe pressure, travel speed, and sprinkler operation. See the “Specification” section of this manual for
performance information and then adjust speed to the desired travel rate.
18. When the sprinkler cart completes the irrigation run and has contacted the compensation/shut-off bar,
the retraction of the tube will stop. With the irrigation run completed, stop the pump, lift the sprinkler
cart into transport position, retract the stabilizer legs, disconnect the supply hose, and rotate the spool
and cradle to the transport position. The Water-Reel is now ready to be moved and set up in a new loca-
tion. Alternately, the Water-Reel can be rotated 180° to irrigate in the opposite direction while utilizing
the same water supply.
