Rainger Linear 49
OPERATION
Side Inlet
Hose and Cord Layout
When using the side inlet, position the hose as shown. See Figure 49-1.
•
The hose layout distance from the water pipeline varies depending on hose diameter.
• The cart path must be maintained in a smooth, hard condition, to allow the poly hose to slide freely over
the surface.
• The side inlet hose drag is designed to reverse at the ends of the field without disconnecting the poly hose
from the cart.
• The side inlet swivel elbow should be adjusted outward to an angle of at least 10° in order for the machine
to reverse consistently.
• The side inlet configuration can greatly reduce hose handling labor compared to the center inlet configura-
tion, but should not be expected to auto-reverse completely unattended.
• Due to the tight bending radius in the poly hose, and the stresses of auto-reversing, it is recommended to
use heavier (SDR 15.5 or SDR 13.5) wall poly hose for side inlet hose drags.
• Hose bumpers may be installed to push the poly hose out of the way of the cart tires.
• At the ends of the field, where reversing direction takes place, maintain a smooth, hard area on the inlet side
of the cart, so that the poly hose can slide freely over the surface when reversing.
