Rewinding the PE-pipe with the PTO shaft becomes necessary if irrigation is no longer necessary due to natural
rainfall or if the PE-pipe has been pulled off to drain the machine for winterization
WARNING!
Operating manual for BAUER RAINSTAR series

Rewind at lowest possible PTO speed – start slowly and smoothly – always
avoid jerky start-up.

Maximum PTO speed = 540 rpm

Avoid extra strain by smallest possible PTO shaft articulation.

If the PE-pipe is covered with mud it should be loosened and set free before the
rewind operation to reduce the pulling forces.

If the soil is deep and heavy the rewind must be carried out at a lower speed in
order to ensure that the permissible loads and pulling forces for PE-pipe and
RAINSTAR are not exceeded.

If you disengage the tractor's PTO during PE-pipe rewind the reel must stand
absolutely still when the PTO shaft is re-engaged.
severe damage.
When you drive the reel with the PTO, the automatic final
shut-off is inactive. Therefore you must stop the PTO in time
and wind up the end of the PE-pipe with the hand wheel. This
will prevent damage to cart, shut-off, gearbox, etc.
