Bauer RAINSTAR T32 Series - RETRACTION STOP, RESTART (EMERGENCY SHUT-OFF); PTO REWIND

Operation manual for BAUER RAINSTAR Series T32, T42 25
6.7 RETRACTION STOP, RESTART (EMERGENCY SHUT-OFF)
You can stop PE-pipe retraction by hand during system operation. For this purpose
you push the gear shift lever from the operating position with your open hand (do
not hold the lever tight). The lever jumps into “0” position, the reel is braked and the
PE-pipe remains stretched
Before a restart the PE-pipe must be slackened. For this purpose you push the
gear shift lever down carefully until the pipe reel turns back slowly and the pipe
slackens. Make sure that no loose windings build up on the reel
To restart the system, push the gear shift lever into the operating position again and
PE-pipe retraction starts again.
6.8 PTO REWIND:
If necessary, the PE-pipe can be wound up with the tractor and a PTO drive shaft. For this purpose you move
the gear shift lever to the “pull-off/ PTO rewind” position. In this position the band brake is released. This gear
shift lever position is also used for PE-pipe pull-off.
PTO rewind is needed when irrigation with the machine no longer needs to be continued due to natural rainfall or if
the PE-pipe has been pulled off for draining before winterization
 Retract the pipe at the lowest possible PTO speed - start slowly and smoothly and
avoid jerks.
 Maximum PTO speed = 150 r.p.m.
 Operate with minimum drive shaft bending angles in order to avoid excessive
stresses.
 If the PE-pipe is covered with mud it should be loosened and lifted from the ground
to reduce the tensile forces.
 If the soil is deep and heavy, PE-pipe rewind must be slower in order that the
permissible loads on PE-pipe and RAINSTAR are not exceeded.
 If you disengage the tractor’s PTO shaft during PE-pipe rewind, make sure that the
pipe reel stands still when you re-engage the PTO shaft.
Double motion can severely damage the equipment!
NOTE !!
During PTO rewind the automatic final shut-off system is inactive. Therefore you must
stop the PTO shaft in time and wind up the last piece of PE-pipe with the hand wheel.
This way you prevent damage to cart, shut-off system, gearbox, etc
Warning!
