Hose and Cord Positioning
10. Reposition the end of field/hose stop for the length of the hose being used.
11. If using the optional electric cord drag:
(a) Make sure the power pedestal disconnect is in the OFF position.
(b) Disconnect the electric cord from the power pedestal.
(c) Position the electric cord far enough away from the hose, so that the hose will not drag over it. To
prevent interference between the electric cord, cart tires and hose, position the electric cord over the
top of hose or when applicable, bury the electric cord in the area where interference will occur. See
Figure 56-1.
(d) Make sure the second power pedestal disconnect is in the OFF position.
(e) Connect the electric cord to the second power pedestal.
(f) When ready, switch the second power pedestal disconnect switch into the ON position.
12. At the machine/control panel:
(a) Select the original direction of travel.
(b) Set the percentage timer to the desired application rate or speed.
13. When ready, start the machine. If applicable, start pipeline pump and open the water shut off valve for the
hose. The machine should start and run in the desired direction and auto reverse or stop at the end of field/
hose stop post which was set for the length of the hose.
14. Repeat the steps 8-14 as needed to cross the field in the same direction.
15. As the machine approaches the end of field/hose stop post, stop the machine and close the water shut off
valve for the hose. If applicable, close the cart riser pipe valve.
16. Select the opposite direction of travel, start the system, and run until tension on the second hose is relaxed.
Stop the machine.
17. Disconnect the hose from the pipeline shut off valve so that water from the hose drains away from the cart
path. Disconnect soft hose chains from cart and disconnect hose from center inlet.
18. Select the original direction of travel, start and run the system so that the hose drops out of the linear cart.
Stop the machine. See Figure 56-1.
• If this is a standard fixed span linear machine continue with step 19 of this instruction to run machine back
across the field in the opposite direction.
• If this is a swing around linear machine and the operator intends to swing the machine around to the other
field, proceed to the Swing Around section, follow the pivot procedure and swing the machine around to
the other field. After swinging machine around, return to this instruction and continue with step 20 to run
machine back across the field in the opposite direction.
