(Ready to rewind for irrigation)
1. Release the back stop ( anti-reverse ) ( fig 1 ) into the operating position by gently lifting handle until it
releases from the locked position.

2. Turn the water supply on and increase the machine pressure until it reaches the desired operating
pressure.
3. Engage the gearbox with the gearbox handle (fig 2 ), to put the reel into rewind motion.
IMPORTANT!!!
Never force this lever into gear. Forcing into gear will irrrevocably damage the
gearbox and void the warranty. Lever should be pushed gently into gear, allowing the gears to
mesh.
This process is best completed with water running through the turbine.
4. Adjust hose retraction speed. On a
manual speed control
machine, this is completed by adjusting the
position of the bypass valve (fig 3). Full reel speed is achieved with the valve turned full counter-
clockwise. To slow the retraction speed, slowly turn the bypass valve clockwise until the desired
retraction speed is obtained. On
computer speed control
machines, speed is adjusted by entering the
desired retraction rate (in ft/hour) on the computer key pad.(fig 4) The speed can be adjusted any time
in operation by using the + or - buttons on the key pad. See the Golden Rain manual for specific
instructions concerning the computer setting/operation.
