5 QUICK STOP
Apply the reel brake. Now the PE-pipe retraction can be
stopped immediately by actuati ng 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. Starting from the reel, it
is operated through a chain and the helically grooved spindle
that transports the winding carriage of the PE-pipe. The
winding mechanism ensures that the PE-pipe is guided
properly winding for winding. When you put the machine into
operation for the first time, pull off the full length of the PE-
pipe to let it take a circular shape under pressure and
eliminate ovality. This step is essential for trouble-free
operation of the winding mechanism.
7 SHUT-OFF AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Unattended operation of the RAINSTAR A3 is ensured by a
final- and safety shut-off device. The final shut-off device is
actuated when the sprinkler cart pushes against the shut-off
frame which in turn operates the gearbox shut-off lever
through a system of rods stoppi ng thus the drive. To avoid
troubles caused by faulty windi ngs of the PE-pipe on the reel,
the shut-off device also is ac tivated by the shut-off frame
when faulty pipe windings build up on the reel.
