- Hoseguide mechanism timing:
- Proper timing of the hoseguide mechanism is essential to the successful operation of the hosereel.
Improper hoseguide timing will result in a mis-wrapped tube. Travel will be interrupted because the auto shutoff
bar will stop the drive system in order to prevent damage to the irrigation tube. Do not continue to operate
if the tube is not winding properly!
To retime the hoseguide, these steps must be followed:
- 1) Pull all the irrigation tube out from the hoseReel, The elbow to which the tube is fastened must be 45
degrees behind the axle centre line on the bottom of the spool. Be especially careful not to pull the
tube off the elbow.
- 2) Observe the position of the hoseguide carrier drive lug on the horizontal hoseguide chain. (The chain that
runs left to right just in back of the auto shut-off bar). The drive lug must be in its most extreme position
(half way around the sprocket) and on the same side of the hosereel as the spool elbow.
