Handling The Polyethylene Tube UV resistant, medium density, polyethylene irrigation tube is a durable product that will operate reliably for many years if handled properly and given a reasonable amount of care. Unlike rubber hose or hose with a woven jacket (lay flat hose), polyethylene is a semi-rigid product that retains its shape when it is not pressurized.
Water-Reel Start-Up & Operation The successes of the Water-Reel irrigation system depends a great deal on the operator's understanding of the proper pull out and start up procedure. Do not attempt to operate this Water-Reel until you read and understand the preceding section titled "Handling the Polyethylene Tube"! Decide on the proper nozzle size to be used for the irrigation run which thus will also determine the irrigation lane spacing that will be needed (see pages 20 &...

Water-Reel Start-Up & Operation Disengage the Pawl(s) by lifting the Pawl Rod into the up position. If the Pawls do not disengage the Drive Ring Gear readily; rotate the Spool forward (the way it runs) to relieve tension on the Drive Pawl(s). Ensure that the Set Collar on the Pawl Rod is in the up position.

Water-Reel Start-Up & Operation Note: Your Kifco Water-Reel is equipped to irrigate on a gradual arc if necessary. Arced irrigation can only be performed after the first 25% of the tube is pulled out straight from the machine and then the gradual cannot exceed 90 degrees over the remaining 75%.
Water-Reel Start-Up & Operation ON OPTIONAL WATER SHUT OFF MACHINES ONLY Machines equipped with the optional water shutoff can be set in either the On or Off position (see below diagram) The sprinkler control valve will only operate automatically if the Spool Valve has been reset (see below diagram) Sprinkler Flow Selection Valve “OFF”...
Note: The Water- Reel requires 45 Pounds Per Square Inch (PSI) and adequate water flow capacity (GPM) to operate properly. Consult your Kifco dealer if you do not have an adequate water supply. Observe water pressure, travel speed, and sprinkler performance to confirm desired performance.
E110G Electric Motor Drive Operation With the water supply off; engage the Pawl Rod into its lower (down) position. Pull up on the Motor Mount Pin and engage the motor drive pinion into the Drive Ring Gear. Note: in some instances it will be necessary to turn the Motor on (briefly) in order for the Drive Pinion to mesh with the Drive Ring Gear.
E110G Electric Motor Drive Operation When the Gun Cart completes the irrigation run and has contacted the Shut Off Bar, the retraction of the Tube will stop. With the irrigation run complete, turn off water supply, relieve pressure and disconnect. Turn the Speed Control Knob all the way off (counterclockwise) The Water-Reel is now ready to be moved and set up in a new location.
Water Application Rate Depth Of Water Applied: The depth of water applied by the Water-Reel is regulated by the retraction speed (speed the sprinkler is moving over the ground). It is also affected by the amount of water being discharged by the sprinkler head. The sprinkler nozzle size and the water pressure determine the amount of discharged water.
Maintenance and Repair Maintenance Procedures: Inspect and perform any maintenance procedure after 100 hours of use. Your Water-Reel machine is equipped with Delrin® Spool Bearings, Drive Arm Pivot Bearing, and Level-Wind Screw that do not need lubrication, but should be inspected periodically for any wear problems. Tire Pressure: Inflate tires to 28 p.s.i.
Maintenance and Repair Tube menders can be purchase from your Kifco Dealer Warning! Installing fittings or repairing polyethylene tube used on your Water-Reel is hazardous! The tube has a memory from being coiled on a reel and will try to coil back up if the tube is loosened from one end or cut in two.
Maintenance and Repair Filter (on B110G only) Your Water-Reel is equipped with a Filter to protect the water motor from dirt and debris, which may be present in the irrigation water. The Filter protects only the water motor. The water flowing out of the sprinkler is not filtered.
Maintenance and Repair Pawl Rod (Hold Out) Rod When the Pawl Rod is in its upmost position (on tube pull out), the Pawls must completely clear the Drive Ring Gear. Drive Ring Gear Pawl Rod The B110G has two pawls. One is the Drive Pawl located on the Bellows Arm.
Machine Winterization Freezing will not damage the type of Polyethylene tube used on your Water-Reel. Even though the Tube does not need to be drained you must drain all metal parts. Valve Assembly Completely remove the Supply Hose from the Inlet fitting Speed Control Drain Valve...
Storage 1. Lubricate all points in the lubrication chart to prevent rust and corrosion from forming. 2. Check and clean Filter (B110G only). 3. Store the Water-Reel away from direct sunlight. 4. Make sure all openings such as the water Inlet are plugged so rodents and insects cannot bring foreign material into the Water-Reel.
Adjustments Level-Wind Timing: Proper timing of the Level-Wind mechanism is essential to the successful operation of the Water-Reel. Improper Level-Wind timing will result in mis-wrapped Tube. Travel will be interrupted because the auto Shutoff Bar will stop the water motor in order to prevent damage to the irrigation Tube. Do not continue to operate if the Tube is not winding properly! Important! Confirm that the timing is at fault before attempting to change the timing.
Adjustments 3. To change the timing, remove the Shield and disconnect the Level-Wind Drive Chain Loosen Idler to from the right hand side of the Water-Reel. remove Chain Rotate the Level-Wind Input Sprocket until the Tube Follower is positioned as described in step #2.
Adjustments Drive Pinion Clearance With the Motor Mount Pin engaged, the Drive Pinion to Drive Ring Gear clearance should be 1/16” to 3/32” (.063” - .094”). Adjust the Drive Pinion clearance by loosening the two Motor Mount Bracket bolts on the side of the frame and sliding the Motor Mount Bracket in towards or away from the Drive Ring Gear.
