OPERATION
Machine Operation
For proper operation of the Center Pivot machine, the Control Panel Owner’s Manual and Center Pivot Owner’s
Manual must be used together.
The Control Panel Owner’s Manual includes safety guidelines and explains the basic operation of the control
panel itself, including how to start/stop the machine, change running direction and change water application
amounts.
The Center Pivot Owner’s Manual includes safety guidelines and explains the operation of the Center Pivot
machine including towing.
All Owner’s, operators and maintenance personnel MUST read and understand the Control Panel Owner’s
Manual and the Center Pivot Owner’s Manual.
Part Circle Operation
!
CAUTION
• PHYSICAL END OF FIELD STOP BARRICADES MUST BE INSTALLED ON ALL PART CIRCLE MA-
CHINES. THE PHYSICAL BARRICADES SERVE AS A BACKUP IN CASE THE CIRCUITRY OR THE
TRIP STRUCTURE SHOULD EVER FAIL. DELETION OF THE PHYSICAL BARRICADES CAN BE
DONE BY THE CUSTOMER ONLY. SEE FIGURE 31-1.
NOTE
• Care must be taken when the barricade op-
tion in Figure 31-2 is used.
• The operator MUST ensure the actuator arm
contacts the tripping structure.
• Under certain conditions, soil may build up
in the wheel track resulting in a ramp effect.
This may allow the actuator arm to go over
the top of the structure which trips the actua-
tor arm. Should this happen, the machine will
not stop but continue to move and can result
in damage to the machine.
