STANDARD CART SHUT-OFF VALVE
OPTIONAL SHUT OFF VALVE FOR HIGH CART MR43
1. The valve handle must be pulled upward and locked into position for irrigation. The handle should
only be placed into this open position (Figure 1) with the water source off and the sprinkler
pointed away from all individuals. The valve could still be under pressure from a previous
irrigation run. Always use caution when opening the valve.
2. When the cart approaches the machine, the shut-off bar will trip the shut-off valve and the water
will stop flowing. This stops the machine. The shut-off valve handle will now be in the down
position (off position). (Figure 2)
3. Prior to re-pulling the cart out for the next irrigation run, shift the gearbox back into neutral. The
gearbox will be seriously damaged if the hose is unwound with the gearbox still engaged.
1. In order for water to enter the machine, the shut off valve (located under the red side cover) must
be manually opened prior to irrigating. Remove the assist handle from the holder and place in the
valve arm.
2. Pull valve open using the assist handle. The valve will latch and hold in the open position. Note:
The latching mechanism occurs automatically when the tube rider is below the first wrap. You are
now ready to attach the supply hose and start the water supply.
3. Adjust shut off valve adjustment block if needed. The shut off should actuate just prior to the
gearbox being shifted to the neutral position.
