Start Up & Operation
PTO Rewind
Your Kifco Ag-Rain Water-Reel is equipped with a PTO spline (540 rpm) for emergency retraction. If it is neces-
sary to retract the tube with the PTO shaft this should always be done with the tube under pressure – water
running. This will avoid collapsing the tube by maintaining the operational water pressure during the entire
PTO rewind. The tube may collapse or egg if you are using the PTO rewind and do not have the proper water
pressure. To operate:
1. Position tractor adjacent to the drive side of Water-Reel
2. Engage gearbox
3. Advance Tractor PTO at a consistent speed
4. Observe that the tube is winding in a tight and consistent manner and is in time with the level-
wind fork.
5. STOP the PTO rewind prior to the cart reaching the shutoff bar.
6. Remove PTO shaft
7. Use the hand crank to wind the final distance.
Warning! When using the PTO rewind, the compensation/shut-off bar will not stop the
machine! The operator must manually stop the rewind process. Failure to stop the re-
wind process while using PTO rewind will result in serious machine damage!
