Engine Drive Shut-Off Switch Adjustment
There is seldom any adjustment required to the shutoff mechanism unless a part has been removed, replaced
or damaged.
When adjusting the engine shut-off switch, the tube should be on its last layer (Full Spool).
Position the bar as if it was on its last layer, the switch ramp should already be in contact with the wobble
switch. The wobble switch should just be on the verge of “clicking”. When the switch “clicks”, it grounds the
engine ignition & stops.
To ensure that the engine will not run after the irrigation cycle is complete, make sure the wobble switch
“clicks” before the gearbox is shifted into neutral. Once the gearbox is in neutral the sprinkler cart will not
advance the compensation/shut off bar and the engine grounding switch will be unable to ground the ignition
system. The engine will continue to run. As the sprinkler cart comes into the machine, the sequence of events
is as follows:
a. The sprinkler cart will contact the shut-off bar.
b. The shut-off rod and switch ramp will trip the wobble switch
c. The engine will shut-off automatically
Warning! Ensure that the gearbox shut off lever will trip the wobble switch be-
fore the shut-off bar has reached the level wind frame. If the shut-off bar is al-
lowed to reach the levelwind frame before engine shut down or before the
gearbox has been shifted to neutral, machine damage will occur.
Set switch rod to
point where switch is
nearly ready to click.
