WARNING! Stop the machine and read the operating manual before carrying out maintenance jobs and repairs. WARNING! 1. The working range of the RAINSTAR always must be at a safe distance from electric high-voltage lines. 2. This applies to both the use of wide-range sprinklers and boom carts AS 26 / 32.
ALLGEMEINES BAUER Erzeugnisse sind mit Sorgfalt und unter laufender Kontrolle hergestellte Maschinen und Geräte. Der BAUER Smart RAIN ist eine Maschine mit Turbinenantrieb, die eine voll mechanisierte und damit arbeitszeitsparende Beregnung ermöglicht. Der BAUER Smart RAIN ist universell für unterschiedliche Feldlängen und Feldbreiten einsetzbar.
1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR THE Smart RAIN Read this manual before putting the system into operation for the first time. Never handle the PE-pipe near the machine or the machine itself during pull-off or pull-in. During PE-pipe rewind with the tractor's PTO or during pipe pull-off, always make sure that the shifting lever is in the proper position.

PE-pipe, the compact gearbox and the Ti 7-A turbine as well as the high-rise cart that is ideal particularly for high crops with the BAUER wide-range gun. The material of the PE-pipe corresponds to the latest state-of-the-art. One end of the pipe connects to the reel drum and to the water supply through its axle.
Mechanical regulation: To keep the retraction speed constant on all layers independent of the pipe length still lying on the field, the Smart RAIN is equipped with a layer compensating device. It is actuated by the shut-off frame that is always resting against the PE-pipe and acts on the regulating flap of the turbine via control rods.
OPERATING MODE I: PE-PIPE PULL-OFF 3.1.1 Transport of Machine to Set-up Position During transport, the reel should be turned into the driving direction and secured with the lock bolt. The reel brake must be applied. Cart, jack and both rear support legs must be lifted or retracted.

3.1.2 LOWERING THE CART Unlock the cart mechanically in working position. Pull up the locking lever. Now loosen the reel brake. SWITCHING POSITIONS OF THE SHUT-OFF LEVER Working position PE-pipe retraction PE-pipe pull-off Tractor rewind 834 9274 Betriebsanleitung für Smart RAIN...
3.1.3 PULLING OFF THE PE-PIPE Hitch the toolbar on the pulling hook and pull the cart into the field. The standard wheel cart need not be lifted (therefore 1 pulling hook is sufficient). Pull-off speed: Do not exceed 5 km/h! Do not stop abruptly but slow down gradually at an intermediate stop or at the end of the pull-off.
When the full operating pressure has been reached and clear water is discharged at the sprinkler's nozzle in a full jet without air bubbles, push the gear shift lever to the "PE-pipe retraction" position. The reel starts to rewind the PE-pipe. 3.1.4 SPEED ADJUSTMENT with mechanical regulation Adjust the speed only when the PE-pipe already has been rewound by half a IMPORTANT!
Page 19
At the end of irrigation, the cart is lifted automatically and the drive is shut off by means of rods. The water supply is stopped by the optional "overpressure shut-off valve". Once the PE-pipe retraction has been finished, withdraw the supports by means of the winch.
Therefore they are also suited for high retraction speeds at very low flow rates. They provide the energy needed for the PE-pipe retraction. The turbine speed is directly taken off the impeller shaft and transmitted via a three-step V-belt drive to the BAUER change-speed gearbox. Betriebsanleitung für Smart RAIN...
Page 21
The change-speed gearbox consists of toothed wheels that reduce the turbine speed. Reel drive stop at the end of the irrigation strip is ensured by disengagement of the toothed clutch. The gearbox in connection with the belt steps adapt perfectly to existing operating conditions. As a result the following retraction speeds (m/h) can be reached: 12 m/h 8 - 25 m/h...

PTO REWIND: If required, you can rewind the PE-pipe also with the tractor's PTO system. Push the shifting lever to "Tractor retraction" position. Winding up the PE-pipe with the PTO will become necessary when there is no need to continue irrigation due to natural rainfall.
4 Mechanical Regulation The retraction speed is steplessly adjustable and it is set by means of the adjusting lever which is fixed with the knurled nuts after adjustment. The speed is nearly constant from the first to the last layer as well as within one layer. This is achieved by means of the layer compensating lever resting against the PE-pipe in any position ….
Page 24
5 QUICK STOP Apply the reel brake. Now the PE-pipe retraction can be stopped immediately by actuating the shut-off frame or the gear shifting lever. Thereby the gearbox is disengaged. Slacken the PE-pipe slowly by opening slightly the reel brake. 6 WINDING MECHANISM The winding mechanism operates synchronously with the winding or unwinding of the PE-pipe.
Page 25
8 CART The high construction of the cart provides maximum crop protection. With infinitely variable track width, the cart adapts to any crop row spacing. For easier PE-pipe pull-off, the cart is equipped with a draw-out hook. You pick up this hook with the tractor's toolbar and pull-off the PE-pipe.
10 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 500 l/min. at 1 bar overpressure is best suited for this purpose. The small amount of water remaining in the PE-pipe after the draining will not do any harm.
11 WINDING MECHANISM – STARTING POSITION Step 1: Pull off the PE-pipe and adjust the connecting bend (7) in a vertical position pointing down. Step 2: Loosen the winding chain (1) between the reel and the helically grooved spindle (2). Step 3: By turning the helically grooved spindle (2), the winding carriage (3) is moved to the right outer reversing point of the groove...
Page 28
Step 4: "0" By turning the helically grooved spindle, move the right guide bar to the value of towards the inner reel side wall. Thereby the spindle must be turned in the direction of winding (counter- WARNING! clockwise, see sketch). At this point, the winding carriage moves from the reversing point to the left (direction A).

12 SETTING THE GEARBOX SHUT-OFF DEVICE Turn the drive shaft at the gearbox (pulley). With the value of 2 mm at the gearbox and the value of "X" at the shut-off frame, the PTO must not turn anymore. (Put a hand wheel on the PTO for easier checking of the turning movement.) Betriebsanleitung für Smart RAIN...
