Operating manual for BAUER RAINSTAR Series TX Plus  18 
But note: 
When the cart is lifted and in the shut-off position, the gear-shift lever is held in “0” position and shifting is 
impossible!  If the PE-pipe is stretched you have to slacken it first, before engaging the next gear  
 
 
 
 
  Move the gear shift lever from a gear stage to the middle 
position.  A spring presses the gear shift lever up and 
prevents fast reversing of the reel and PE-pipe by means of 
the band brake.  By pushing the gear shift lever down very 
slowly you release the brake and slacken the PE-pipe.     
 
   
 
 
  Afterwards you can change into the required gear.  
 
PTO DRIVE 
 
 
 
  If required, you can rewind the PE-pipe with the tractor and a 
PTO shaft.  Move the gear shift lever to zero position.  A 
spring presses the gear shift lever into the locking recess.  In 
this position the band brake is released. This gear shift lever 
position serves also for PE-pipe pull-off.
