6 QUICK STOP
The PE-pipe retraction can be stopped immediately by
actuating the shut-off frame or the gear shifting lever. Thereby
the gearbox is disengaged.
Pull up the brake locking lever (1) to avoid slackening of the
PE-pipe. Then slacken the PE-pipe slowly by pulling the brake
lever (2).
7 WINDING MECHANISM
The winding mechanism operates synchronously with the
winding or unwinding of the PE-pipe. Starting from the reel, it
is operated through a chain and the helically grooved spindle
that transports the winding carriage of the PE-pipe. The
winding mechanism ensures that the PE-pipe is guided
properly winding for winding. When you put the machine into
operation for the first time, pull off the full length of the PE-
pipe to let it take a circular shape under pressure and
eliminate ovality. This step is essential for trouble-free
operation of the winding mechanism.
8 SHUT-OFF AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Unattended operation of the RAINSTAR A1, A2 is ensured by
a final- and safety shut-off device. The final shut-off device is
actuated when the cart lift actuates the gearbox shut-off lever
stopping thus the drive. To avoid troubles caused by faulty
windings of the PE-pipe on the reel, the shut-off device also is
activated by the shut-off frame when faulty pipe windings build
up on the reel.
