Winterization - Draining - Bauer Rainstar TX Plus Series Operating Manual

18 WINTERIZATION – DRAINING
In areas where frost is likely in winter after the irrigation season, the machine must be drained in time. A
compressor with a minimum air capacity of 800 l/min at 2.5 bar overpressure is best suited for this purpose.
Connect the compressor to the inlet of the machine. For blowing out the water the PE-pipe should not be pulled
off. It can stay on the reel. Otherwise, winding up the pressureless PE-pipe would cause extreme ovality and
proper winding would become impossible.
Before the blow-out procedure, turn out the nozzle of the wide-range sprinkler or uncouple the sprinkler
connecting hose. The small amount of water remaining in the PE-pipe after the draining will not do any harm.
Turn out the drain plug at the bottom of the TX 20 turbine.
