8. Pull the gun cart out straight ( fig 5 ), and at a consistent speed ( about the pace of a walk ), and
slow down when approaching the stop or end position.
NOTE:
Always leave at least one wrap of
hose on the reel.
9. Pull up on shut off valve handle to place into operational position (open valve). This procedure must
be completed with the water source off and the sprinkler pointed away from any individuals.(fig 6)
10. Re-engage the anti-reverse handle (fig 3) and start water flow. Turn speed control valve to the fast
setting (full counter-clockwise) (fig 7) and engage gearbox. Turn speed control in the clockwise
direction to slow reel to the desired speed. If computer speed control system, see
page 13
for
specific instructions on operation.
11. When you have pulled out the hose,
make sure that the wraps remaining on the reel are tight and
close together next to the edge of the drum. If necessary, roll the drum by hand to tighten
wraps, and push them in place by hand. ( fig 8 ).
This adjustment must be done when machine is
not in operation.
IMPORTANT!
The first time using the machine it is very important to pull out all but 1 or 2
wraps of hose in order to check the level wind setting, and remove any loose wraps that may
have been created in shipping. If level wind setting needs adjusting, contact your Micro Rain
dealer for instructions.
