Care of the olyethylene Tube
The polyethylene tube ( P. E. Tube ) is a very durable and will serve your irrigation needs for many
years with proper care and handling. Observe these simple precautions when using your Micro Rain
traveler to prevent damaging or shortening the life of your tube.
1. The first time you unwind the tube, pull off all but a couple of wraps. This will allow you to check
the level-wind position, and make sure there are no loose wraps left from shipping.
2. Always transport your machine with the anti-reverse lever engaged, and cart racked.
3. Do not attempt to operate the machine with loose or misplaced wraps of tube. Tighten the tube
on the drum before starting the machine.
WARNING!!
Starting the machine without tightening
the tube wraps will result in miswrapping and could permanently damage your tube.
4. Do not attempt to move or relocate the machine with tube unwound. All the tube must be wound
on the machine drum before moving.
5. While the tube is unwound make certain never to drive anything across the tube.
6. Be careful when operating other equipment near the unwound tube.
7. Never sharply bend or kink the tube. It will not flex back, and it will be permanently damaged.
