The successes of the Water-Reel irrigation system depends a great deal on the operator's understanding of
the proper pull out and start up procedure.
Do not attempt to operate this Water-Reel until you
read and understand the preceding section titled "Handling the Polyethylene Tube"!
Decide on the proper nozzle size to be used for the irrigation run which thus will also determine the irrigation
lane spacing that will be needed (see pages 20 & 21 for sprinkler performance).
Set the desired arc to be used on the sprinkler gun.
NOTE:
Arc settings where the sprinkler never distributes water forward of the gun cart (towards pull), could
create undesired tracking results. This is caused by the continuous thrust of the sprinkler, which pushes the
tube towards the Water-Reel.
It is recommended that the arc be set to create some tension on the
tube (greater than 180°)

Direction
of Pull
Ensure that the Pawl Disengage Rod is in the down position for transport. Pull the Water-Reel into position
with the Gun Cart towards the run to be irrigated. Be especially careful to have the machine square and in
good alignment with the irrigation path. Insert Stabilizer Legs and confirm they have made good ground
contact.
Never
attempt to operate the Water-Reel without both legs inserted.
Attach the water supply line to the machine to confirm that all lines reach and the Water-Reel is set in the
proper place.
Do not turn on the water.
