Operating manual for
BAUER RAINSTAR
Series TX Plus
72
Retract the pipe at the lowest possible PTO speed - start slowly and smoothly
and avoid jerks.
Max. PTO speed = 540 rpm
Avoid strain by excessive articulation of the PTO shaft.
If the PE-pipe is covered with mud it should be loosened and set free to reduce
the tension load before rewinding it.
You can release the PE-pipe and lift it off the ground by tying around a hemp
rope or a fabric belt and pulling it along the pipe.
If the soil is deep and heavy the PE-pipe must be wound up more slowly to
make sure that the permissible loads on PE-pipe and RAINSTAR are not
exceeded.
If you disengage the PTO shaft during PE-pipe retraction, make sure that the
pipe reel stands still when you re-engage the PTO shaft.(Slacken the PE-pipe).
Double motion may cause severe damage!
When driving the reel with the PTO the automatic shut-off system is inactive.
Therefore you must stop the PTO shaft in time and wind up the end of the PE-
pipe with the hand wheel. This will prevent damage to cart, shut-off system,
gearbox, etc.
