Overview
Bender160 Components
Bender End of Field Bender Stop
!
WARNING
• BENDER BARRICADE MUST BE INSTALLED
PRIOR TO ENTERING INTO BEND MODE.
FAILURE TO INSTALL THE BARRICADE PRI-
OR TO BENDING THE SYSTEM CAN RESULT
IN DAMAGE TO BOTH THE SYSTEM AND ANY
FIELD OBSTRUCTIONS IT MAY BE BENDING
AROUND.
The Bender end of field stop is located on the bending
tower. The bender end of field stop uses a different
plate than the standard end of field stop. This allows
the tire to be positioned closer to the EOFS in case
the bending spans pull hard enough to slide the drive
unit. See Figure 20-1.
When the bender end of field stop arm contacts the
bending barricade, the bending tower stops, and the
machine enters the bending mode. The remaining
spans continue to move until the end of the field stop
arm contacts the end of field barricade.
If the auto reverse option is installed, the operator can
choose to either have the system stop or automatically
reverse its direction of travel and continue to run once
the final end of field stop is reached.
!
CAUTION
• NEVER USE THE SAFETY OVERRIDE BUT-
TON TO WALK THE MACHINE OFF OF THE
BARRICADE. STRUCTURAL DAMAGE MAY
RESULT.
• SOIL MAY BUILD UP IN THE WHEEL TRACK
RESULTING IN A RAMP EFFECT ALLOW-
ING THE ACTUATOR ARM TO GO OVER THE
BARRICADES. REGULARLY MAINTAIN THE
WHEEL TRACK TO INSURE THE ACTUATOR
ARM ALWAYS CONTACTS THE BARRICADE.
Bender Stop Box
The Bender stop box overrides straight mode normal
safety allowing the machine to enter the bending
mode.
Also, water is shutoff to the sprinklers on the stopped
spans if the optional water shutoff valve is installed
in the Bender stop box, and sprinkler shutoff valves
are installed on each sprinkler on the stopped spans.
