If a quarter pull unavoidable, prepare the travel lane with a shallow trench for the hose
C )
to follow. You may also add weights to the sprinkler cart to assist in the sprinkler cart
track in a straight line. If you are unable to set the sprinkler cart up for a quarter circle
irrigation pull then you must change your plan to use full irrigation pulls.
If you need to perform a curved irrigation pull, you must pull out at least 200 feet
D )
(61 meters) of hose straight out of the machine before starting a long, gradual curve.
The curve must not form a 90 degree bend.
Failing to provide a trench or furrow during a quarter circle pull or curved
pull will lead to the sprinkler cart tracking unpredictably. This may result in
the sprinkler cart colliding with anything in the sprinkler cart path.
Collision with an unpredictably tracking sprinkler cart will cause serious
injury to operators and/ or spectators. It will also cause damage to the
sprinkler cart and any object it collides with.
Plan to leave open travel lanes and ample head lands. Travel lanes and head lands
E )
that have been hilled and cultivated will lower the towing effort needed to pull the
sprinkler cart into position. Hilled and cultivated lands will also provide guidance for the
hose. Make sure to provide ample head land space to safely turn your traveller and set
it up.
Some crops (e.g. alfalfa, peas, potatoes, sod) will provide high resistance to pulling the
F )
hose out. If you irrigate a crop that provides high resistance for hose pull out
decoupling the feeder hose at the mainline valve and pulling the hose out slower may
assist hose pull out.
Decoupling the feeder hose at the mainline valve will drain the irrigation
traveller’s hose. The hose contains several hundred gallons of water and
will muddy the area around the traveller. This may cause injury to
operators and/or spectators.
