Operation of the Dew Simulator
When the reel is on the ground
,
the hydraulics should
be in the
FLOAT POSITION
to enable the hydraulic
cylinder to float. This allows the lift arms and reel to
pivot and follow the contours of the ground and
eliminates having
"
down pressure
"
on the reel frame.
The machine is designed to straddle the windrow while the tractor drives alongside of it. While operating
in the field
,
it is not advised to turn at the headland while the reel
i
s in the down position
.
You don't have
to raise the reel completely
, but
while turning around in the field
,
lift the reel 1-2 feet off of the ground,
enough to deactivate the arm switch and allow water flow to be diverted back to the tank. This will
conserve water.
During some operating conditions
,
you may be required to use perimeter nozzle(s) to reduce the
effects of evaporation or wind on the outside surface of the windrow. Operate the per
i
meter nozzles
,
either for daytime operation or for just wetting the outside of the windrow, by turning on control and
adjusting output as needed using the dial on the controller
.
Keep an eye on the level of the fluid in the tank
. Running the coils dry while very hot may cause
damage.
It is recommended to stop before running the tank is dry and refill
.
If you stop before you run
out of solution to refill, it is possible to disconnect
t
he
2” qu
i
ck coupling and use the tank suction line as
a fill line for the tank.
Before disconnecting the quick coupler
,
close the 2
"
ball valve on the trailer
.
Disconnect the coupler and
connect to the fill source. Harvest Tec recommends that you have an inline screen on your fill source.
Open the ball valve and begin filling. When filling is completed
,
shut off the fill source and close the 2" ball
valve. Reconnect the quick connect and reopen the 2
"
ball valve
.
This should allow the pump to begin
without priming
.
If you are filling directly from a well or r
i
ser
,
fill from top of the tank to prevent water
contamination
.
