Operating Mode Ii: Laying Down The Pe-Pipe - Bauer Rainstar TX Plus Series Operating Manual

Proper procedure:
1. Shut off water supply to the RAINSTAR. The PE-pipe slackens only slightly through the turbine acting as a
hydraulic brake.
2. Move gear shift lever to the middle position and slacken
the pipe by pushing the lever down slowly and carefully.
3. Realign the machine and support it adequately.
4. Open the water supply again. PE-pipe retraction continues.
5. Put the gear shift lever into the desired position.

5.3 OPERATING MODE II: LAYING DOWN THE PE-PIPE

In addition to the pull-off method the PE-pipe can also be laid down on the ground while the machine is hauled over
the field. This method is mostly used in situations where heavy soil makes it impossible to pull the cart across the
field or where the field is longer than one or two times the PE-pipe length. Moreover, the laying down method
allows using smaller tractors because no pulling forces are applied on the pipe.
Drive the RAINSTAR into the field allowing for the sprinkler's distance of throw.
