Rainger Linear 41
OPERATION
Methods of Operation
Method IV
Can be used in situations where the water source
cannot be independently controlled by the system
operator.
Requires the system operator to be present at the
completion of each step to change the percentage
timer setting and/or the direction.
1. The percentage timer is set at the desired ap-
plication rate, the system is started at one end of
the field, and run wet (irrigating) to the middle of
the field. See Figure 41-1.
2. At the middle of the field the percentage timer is
set to 100% and the system continues to run wet
to the other end of the field. See Figure 41-1.
3. The system direction is reversed, the percentage
timer is set to the desired application rate and
the system is run wet (irrigating) to the middle of
the field. See Figure 41-2.
4. At the middle of the field, the percentage timer is
set to 100% and the system continues to run wet
to the original end of the field. See Figure 41-2.
Method V
Can be used where it is desired to harvest one por-
tion of a field while irrigating another part of the field.
The system operator may need to be present at the
end of the first step if the auto reverse option is not
used.
1. The percentage timer is set at the desired appli-
cation rate and the system is started at one end
of the field and run wet (irrigating) to the middle
of the field and stopped. See Figure 41-3.
2. At the middle of the field the system direction is
reversed. Set the percentage timer and run the
system either wet or dry back to the original end
of the field. See Figure 41-4.
NOTE
• To reduce the possibility of creating deep
ruts, the water application should be shallow.
