Bauer Rainstar TX Plus Series Operating Manual page 14

ECOSTAR 4300 keeps the retraction speed constant on all layers independent of the pipe length still lying on the
field.
Mechanical control option: In order to ensure that the retraction speed remains constant on all layers
independent of the length of PE-pipe still lying on the ground, RAINSTAR machines with this option are equipped
with a special layering mechanism. This compensating mechanism is activated by the speed compensating bar of
the shut-off frame that fits closely on the pipe on all layers and activates the regulating cam of the turbine through
the regulating rod.
At the end of the irrigation strip the cart is automatically lifted into the transport position. Thereby the automatic
drive shut-off is activated by rods. After being lifted automatically the cart is locked in the transport position.
If the machine is equipped with a shut-off flap (ECOSTAR) or a shut-off valve (mechanical speed regulation) the
water supply to the machine is shut off simultaneously.
After shut-off the RAINSTAR can be transported to its next setting-up position immediately. Then the PE-pipe can
be pulled or laid down again, the water supply connected, and the machine is ready for the next run.
When driving on public roads the reel must be turned into the driving direction and secured with the lock bolt. The
PE-pipe must be fully wound up on the reel and the cart lifted and locked. The jack and both rear machine
supports must be withdrawn to their uppermost position.
On public roads the drawbar and coupling ring must be hitched to the tractor's yoke and secured with the pin.. The
maximum permissible driving speed of 10 km/h must be observed. For increased safety against overturning in
curves we recommend to set the maximum possible track width.
On principle, it is possible to transport the machine between hydrants in the field with the cart lifted on the side. In
this configuration the driving speed must always be adapted to the existing conditions and should never exceed 5
km/h. You must also take into consideration that this type of transport requires a wider driving lane.
