Rainger Linear 79
MAINTENANCE
Cart Path
The cart path must be kept clean and free of debris that may damage tires, hoses, or the linear machine.
•
To reduce the possibility of structural damage to the irrigation machine, the cart path should always be
graded flat and level so that the cart will not tip to either side as it travels down the cart path.
The cart path
should not have a crown or be graded at an angle. Structural damage to the irrigation machine may result.
• When changing hoses, always disconnect and drain the hose at the pipe line valve before disconnecting the
hose from the cart to prevent water puddles from forming on the cart path.
• Do not allow wheel tracks to form on the cart path. The presence of wheel tracks in the cart path may cause
inconsistent steering and unplanned machine stoppage. If left in a state of disrepair, wheel tracks can cause
structural damage to the irrigation machine.
Barricade
Maintain the barricade structure and area.
Inspect the barricade structure for failure and tighten
any loose hardware completely.
Ensure that the actuator arm contacts the tripping
structure. Under certain conditions, soil may build up
in the wheel track resulting in a ramp effect. This may
allow the actuator arm to go over the top of the struc-
ture which trips the actuator arm. See Figure 79-1.
Should this happen, the machine will not stop but
continue to move and can result in damage to the
machine. Remove any build up of soil in the barricade
area.
Wheel Tracks
It is important to maintain wheel tracks. See Figure
79-2.
•
Wheel tracks affect the linear machine’s ability
to steer.
• Ensure correct tire pressure to help reduce the
possibility of deep wheel tracks.
• Wheel track depth:
» Regular drive units must not exceed 4 in (100
mm).
» Single span swing around drive unit must not
exceed 2 in (50 mm).
» Do not allow wheel tracks at the cart.
• Wheel track depth can be controlled by using
track fillers, tillers, discs, or flotation tires.
Engine/Generator
Refer to the Owner’s Manual supplied with engine/generator for specific details on maintenance, operation, and
winterizing of the engine/generator.

CAUTION
• A PARTIALLY FILLED FUEL TANK WILL PERMIT CONDENSATION WHICH WILL CONTAMINATE
THE FUEL AND ACT TO DAMAGE THE INJECTION PUMP AND INJECTORS.
