8.
It is considerably easier to have an assistant back at the machine to warn the driver that the maximum length
of hose has been reached.
If operating alone; the driver will be able to observe the white markings on the spool core beginning to show.
This indicates to the driver that the maximum length of hose on the machine is about to be reached.
It is advised to leave one or two hose coil wraps on the spool when Gun Cart pull
-
out is complete. Tighten the
remaining tube on the spool by rotating spool and packing coils together.
Disconnect the Tow Chain and store back onto the Gun Cart.

Determine if the automatic water shut

must
be reset before each

The Sprinkler Flow Selector Valve will only operate automatically if the Actuator Valve has been reset.
