6 Adjust the brake handle position so that a slight amount of brake tension is applied. This
tension should be enough to control the hose drum and prevent loosening of the hose on
the drum when the tractor stops pulling the hose.
7 Set the track width of the gun cart as wide as possible. Lower the cart to the ground by
operating the hand winch on the side of the machine. Disconnect the lift chain from the
cart.
8 Move the tractor from the front of the machine, position it behind the gun cart and attach
the gun cart tow chain to the tractor drawbar.
9 Pull the desired amount of hose. (see illustration on pg. 11)
10 At this time, set the part circle stops on the gun.
The gun should be set behind the cart so that the
travel path remains dry until the cart passes.
(see illustration)
11 Check the nozzle size and check that the nozzle cone is secure.
12 Remove the tractor from the gun cart and clear the area of operation.
13 Connect the feeder hose to the inlet on the traveller and lock it in place. Attach the other
end to the mainline or mainline valve.
14 If the hose is loose on the drum, use the hand crank to rotate the drum to tighten the hose.

NOTE: Several nozzle sizes are supplied with the sprinkler gun. The “best” nozzle choice for
your application may take some experimentation to determine. Typically, two nozzle
sizes will perform well for each model. See the chart below for nozzles to try.
CAUTION
DO NOT exceed 3 MPH while pulling out the hose
DO NOT stop suddenly at the end of your travel lane. Slow gradually when nearing the
end of the pull.
ALWAYS leave at least a 3/4 wrap of hose on the drum.
