Manual for
BAUER RAINSTAR A3
11
OPERATING MODE I: PE-PIPE PULL-OFF
3.1.1 Transport of Machine to Set-up Position
During transport, the reel should be turned into the driving
direction and secured with the lock bolt. The reel brake must
be applied. Cart, jack and both rear support legs must be lifted
or retracted. For lateral PE-pipe pull-off, set up the RAINSTAR
A3 on the headland at right angles to the selected irrigation
strip and detach it from the tractor.
Adjust the undercarriage in a level position with the jack.
When positioning the RAINSTAR A3, make sure that the machine's vertical axis of rotation is in the
middle of the driving lane or centered between two crop rows.
For lateral pull-off of the PE-pipe, remove the lock bolt, turn
the reel into the direction of the driving lane and secure it
again with the lock bolt.
Extend the supports into the ground by means of a winch.
On very hard soil, the supports must be extended into holes dug into the ground for this purpose.
