Mechanical regulation
: To keep the retraction speed constant on all layers independent of the pipe
length still lying on the field, the RAINSTAR A1, A2 is equipped with a layer compensating device. It is
actuated by the shut-off frame that is always resting against the PE-pipe and acts on the regulating flap
of the turbine via control rods.
At the end of the irrigation strip, the cart is lifted automatically to transport position. Thereby the drive is
shut-off automatically by rods.
After shut-off, the cart lifted automatically, is locked through the transport lock. If the machine is
equipped with a shut-off valve, the water supply will be shut off simultaneously. After shut-off, the
RAINSTAR A1, A2 can be transported to its next setting-up position immediately. Pull-off or lay down
the PE-pipe, connect the water supply and the machine is ready for the next run.
On public roads, the drawbar must be hitched to the tractor's yoke. The driving speed must not exceed
10 km/h.
