Bauer Rainstar TX Plus Series - Winding Mechanism and Safety; Shut-Off and Safety Equipment

Operating manual for BAUER RAINSTAR Series TX Plus 54
Slacken the PE-pipe by carefully pushing the gear shift lever
down.
11 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
transporting the winding carriage of the PE-pipe. The winding
mechanism ensures that the PE-pipe is properly guided
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. This step is essential for
trouble-free operation of the winding mechanism.
12 SHUT-OFF AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Unattended performance of the RAINSTAR is made possible
by a final and safety shut-off. The final shut-off is actuated
when the sprinkler cart presses against the shut-off frame,
which in turn operates the gear shift lever through a system
of rods. This way the drive is stopped.
To avoid troubles caused by faulty windings of the PE-pipe on
the reel, shut-off is also activated by the shut-off frame when
faulty pipe windings build up on the reel.
