Repair & Maintenance
Filter
Your Water
-
Reel is equipped with a filter to protect the water motor from dirt and debris, which may be pre-
sent in the irrigation water. The filter protects
only
the water motor. The water flowing out of the sprinkler is
not filtered.
To clean the filter; turn OFF water supply, remove the Filter Drain on the bottom of the turbine manifold,
and pull out filter with fingertip. Clean and inspect the filter than reinstall.
Never
attempt to remove the filter while the machine is pressurized. Always turn off the water supply and re-
lieve pressure before starting any form of maintenance.

The filter should be cleaned at least once each season, even when operating with clean water. When pumping
from ponds or streams, the filter must be cleaned more frequently. In very dirty water conditions, it may be
necessary to clean the filter each time the Water

Reel is used.
Valve Plumbing
The Actuator Valve signals the sprinkler control valve by supplying pressurized water to the diaphragm of
the water sprinkler control valve at the completion of the irrigation run.
Note:
In applications where the water has a high mineral content, buildup of minerals in the actuator
valve can cause the valve to be difficult to shift.
To free the valve, apply liquid detergent to the exposed ends of the valve stem, or in the top fitting (after
removing tube) and work the stem back and forth by hand
.
