Unlike rubber hose or hose with a woven jacket (lay flat hose), polyethylene is a semi-rigid product that retains its shape when it is not pressurized. This characteristic makes it feasible to pump water through it while it is rolled up on a reel.A few simple precautions need to be observed to prevent damaging the tube when operating your Water-Reel.When starting a new Water-Reel for the first time, it is important that the tube be pulled nearly all the way out in order to tighten the new tube on the spool.1. Never transport the Water-Reel with the Pawl Disengage Rod in the up position The irrigation tube will become loose and tangled. 2. Do not attempt to operate the Water-Reel if there are any coils of tube that are loose or misplaced. If loose coils of tube are noticed after pulling the tube out, they must be tightened by rotating the spool by hand. If this is not possible, then pull all of the tube out before attempting to rewind the tube.3. Never try to relocate the Water-Reel if the tube is not fully rewound onto the machine.4. Never pull the tube off the machine other than by pulling on the sprinkler cart (straight out from the machine). 5. Never run over the tube with any kind of vehicle and avoid pinching or pulling the tube around objects. Never bend the tube sharper than 25 times the diameter of the tube (See Note on page 14).6. Be careful when operating other equipment near tube to avoid gouging or puncturing tube. Remember, polyethylene tube is semi-ridged and subject to being kinked. These foregoingprecautions will reduce the possibility of kinking or damaging your tube. Throughout the irrigation industry the words 'tube' and 'hose' are used interchangeably in connection with hard hose traveling machines.Handling The Polyethylene Tube11Motor Mount PinMotor12The successes of the Water-Reel irrigation system depends a great deal on the operator's understanding of the proper pull out and start up procedure. Do not attempt to operate this Water-Reel until you read and understand the preceding section titled "Handling the Polyethylene Tube"Decide on the proper nozzle size to be used for the irrigation run which thus will also determine the irrigation lane spacing that will be needed (see pages 20 & 21 for sprinkler performance).Set the desired arc to be used on the sprinkler gun.NOTE: Arc settings where the sprinkler never distributes water forward of the gun cart (towards pull), couldcreate undesired tracking results. This is caused by the continuous thrust of the sprinkler, which pushes the tube towards the Water-Reel. It is recommended that the arc be set to create some tension on the tube (greater than 180°). 123 De0 g7 r2 e- e0 s81Direction of PullEnsure that the Pawl Disengage Rod is in the down position for transport. Pull the Water-Reel into position with the Gun Cart towards the run to be irrigated. Be especially careful to have the machine square and in good alignment with the irrigation path. Insert Stabilizer Legs and confirm they have made good ground contact. Never attempt to operate the Water-Reel without both legs inserted.Attach the water supply line to the machine to confirm that all lines reach and the Water-Reel is set in the proper place. Do not turn on the water. B110G (bellows drive) Only - Un-stow and attach the Bellows Exhaust Drain Hose to the BellowsExhaust Discharge. Confirm that the Drain Hose is not kinked or blocked.E110G Electric Motor Drive Machines Only - MUST have the Drive Pinion on the Motor disengaged prior to pull out. To disengage: pull the Motor Mount Pin and slide the Motor down and away from the Drive Ring Gear.Water-Reel Start-Up & Operation Pawl RodSet CollarDrive Pawl(Bellows machine only)Hold PawlDrive Ring Gear13Water-Reel Start-Up & Operation Disengage the Pawl(s) by lifting the Pawl Rod into the up position. If the Pawls do not disengage the Drive Ring Gear readily; rotate the Spool forward (the way it runs) to relieve tension on the Drive Pawl(s). Ensure that the Set Collar on the Pawl Rod is in the up position. Both pawls (two on Bellows Drive & one on Electric Motor Drive) must clear the Drive Ring Gear on the Spool.Lower the Gun Cart from its transport position. Pull the Gun Cart out the desired distance. Pull the Tube out slowly (do not exceed 3 mph) and avoid sudden stops and erratic driving during pull out. Warning Stand clear of the machine and the Gun Cart while the Tube is being pulled out. (up position)(up position)Water-Reel Start-Up & Operation Note: Your Kifco Water-Reel is equipped to irrigate on a gradual arc if necessary. Arced irrigation canonly be performed after the first 25% of the tube is pulled out straight from the machine and then the gradualarccannot exceed 90 degrees over the remaining 75%. Depending on the soil or vegetation the gun cart may or may not follow the arc back to the machine. Higher friction (furrows, tall grass) will greatly assistwith the gun cart tracking the arc.Failure to observe this limitation can also place an excessive side load on the Level-Wind mechanism whichcould result in equipment failure and/or tube damage.IMPORTANT: If the standard irrigation run does not require the use of 100% of the Tube on the Water-Reel; it will be necessary to occasionally pull the entire length of Tube off of the Water-Reel and retract the Tube under pressure to ensure the concentric shape of the hose.During short runs of the Water-Reel, the remaining Tube on the Spool will tend to gradually loosen. Over time,gaps in the Tube on the Spool will create Level-Wind to Tube mis-alignment causing the machine to look out of time or the possibility of the Tube mis-wrapping causing damage to the Water-Reel and the Tube.This can be corrected by making a full run (pull 100% of the tube out) occasionally. Gaps in Tube causedby short irrigation runs14Water-Reel Start-Up & Operation Note: Spool Valve must be reset before each irrigation run.*The Spool Valve is a stem valve located on the Gun Cart of the Water-Reel. This must not be used as an ON/OFF valve for any purpose other than to automatically shut-off the sprinkler at the completion of an irrigation run. ON OPTIONAL WATER SHUT OFF MACHINES ONLYSprinkler Flow Selection Valve “OFF”Sprinkler gun will shut off after irrigation runSprinkler Flow Selection Valve “ON”Sprinkler gun will continue to operate after irrigation run TO RESET: push valve knob in Important When using the automatic water shut-off feature, be sure the water can be shut-off automatically without damaging the water supply or the Water-Reel Stopping the flow of water can damage a pump or water lines and excessive pressure can be created. A qualified person should confirm if you could safely utilize the automatic water shut-off. 15Machines equipped with the optional water shutoff can be set in either the On or Off position (see below diagram).The sprinkler control valve will only operate automatically if the Spool Valve has been reset .(see below diagram)Be sure the ON/OFF valve is in the "OFF" position. Place the Drive Pawls in the "engaged" (down) position. Turn on the water. Confirm the sprinkler is operating as expected and in the desired arc. After all air is purged from the system and the sprinkler is operating smoothly, turn the ON/OFF valve to the "ON" position. Set the Speed Control Valve to the desired retraction speed. The Speed Control Valve, located on the valve assembly, regulates the speed at which water can fill the Bellows.Speed Control ValvePawl RodON/Off ValveONOff Note: The Water- Reel requires 45 Pounds Per Square Inch (PSI) and adequate water flow capacity (GPM) to operate properly. Consult your Kifco dealer if you do not have an adequate water supply. Observe water pressure, travel speed, and sprinkler performance to confirm desired performance. See pages 20 or 21 for performance charts. When the sprinkler cart completes the irrigation run and has contacted the Shut Off Bar, the retraction of the Tube will stop. 16With the irrigation run completed, turn off water supply, relieve pressure first, and disconnect.

Investigate and obey all local regulations regarding the use of water. E110G Electric Motor Drive OperationTravel Speed Settings - Using the Performance Guide: Example: With a SIME K1 sprinkler, determine the inlet pressure, speed settings and sprinkler nozzle size required to apply 0.20 inches of water. (See Illustration) Note: The inlet PSI is the pressure reading while the machine is running and the sprinkler is operating. If the pressure drops while running, use the chart to determine the performance at the new inlet pressure. If the pressure drops below the lowest inlet pressure shown, consider using a smaller size nozzle. ( Inlet PSI is always read at the Water Reel ) As shown below, a variety of settings can accomplish 0.20” of water application.* With a 6mm nozzle and an inlet PSI of 51; 0.20” can be applied at a rate of 60ft. per hour.* With a 7mm nozzle and an inlet PSI of 50; 0.20” can be applied at a rate of 80ft. per hour. Example shown below * With an 8mm nozzle and an inlet PSI of 53; 0.20” can be applied at a rate of 80ft. per hour. * With a 9mm nozzle and an inlet PSI of 53; 0.20” can be applied at a rate of 100ft. per hour.Variances with inlet pressures and nozzle sizes will give different application speed rates and irrigated areas. Depth Of Water Applied: The depth of water applied by the Water-Reel is regulated by the retraction speed (speed the sprinkler is moving over the ground). It is also affected by the amount of water being discharged by the sprinkler head. The sprinkler nozzle size and the water pressure determine the amount of discharged water. These two factors are determined by the available water and the capability of the water pump at the water supply. The selection of the sprinkler nozzle needs to be made based on the water supply and pump performance. 19 MODEL B 110G X 280 PERFORMANCE Part # 50900440TRAVEL SPEED - FEET PER HOUR20 40 60 80 100 120PSI GPM DIA WIDTH LENGTH INCHES DEPTH OF APPLICATION6mm 44 10 98 78 X 319 51 0.61 0.31 0.20 0.15 0.12 0.106mm 58 12 108 86 X 323 68 0.67 0.33 0.22 0.17 0.13 0.117mm 38 13 100 80 X 320 50 0.78 0.39 0.26 0.20 0.16 0.137mm 58 16 112 90 X 325 75 0.86 0.43 0.29 0.21 0.17 0.148mm 36 16 118 94 X 327 53 0.82 0.41 0.27 0.20 0.16 0.148mm 58 21 135 108 X 334 87 0.94 0.47 0.31 0.24 0.19 0.169mm 30 19 115 92 X 326 53 0.98 0.49 0.33 0.25 0.20 0.169mm 58 26 138 110 X 335 100 1.13 0.57 0.38 0.28 0.23 0.1914.0 7.0 4.7 3.5 2.8 2.33 7 10 13 17 20INLET PSIMODEL B110 X 280'SIME K1Area covered may vary depending on wind conditions, field dimensions & use of different sprinklers.

The condition possesses a serious hazard to person and/or property. The tube must be restrained any time there is a loose end Polyethylene Tube Repair Screw-in menders are an excellent alternative to butt-fusion welding for the repair of polyethylene tube. The compact design allows a mender to be wound onto the spool without damaging itself or the adjacent coils of tube. They can be installed in the field and the tube can be put into service immediately after the repair is made. The menders are designed to be fitted at ambient temperature. Never try to apply heat to assist installation. Menders must be installed straight and concentric with the tube to prevent premature failure. Installation Instructions Cut the tube on either side of the damaged area. Make good, straight cuts. Use a block of wood or soft hammer to tap the collar fully on to the end of the tube. Chamfer the tube internally with a knife or coarse file so that the end of the screw-in mender will enter the tube. Important: Please note the mender threads are different on each end. One is left hand and one is right hand. Screw the mender about 2/3rds into the end of the tube using a wrench on the center knurled shoulder. Then unscrew it. Repeat the procedure for the other end. Watch for the left hand thread. Now start the mender in both ends simultaneously. As it screws in, it will draw both ends of the tube to the center. This time, screw it all the way to the shoulder. The tube should now be ready to go immediately back into service. 23Maintenance and RepairTube menders can be purchase from your Kifco DealerFilter (on B110G only) Your Water-Reel is equipped with a Filter to protect the water motor from dirt and debris, which may be present in the irrigation water. The Filter protects only the water motor. The water flowing out of the sprinkler is not filtered. To clean Filter, remove Drain Valve on the Valve Assembly and pull screen out with fingertip. Clean and inspect the screen for damage or rupture. Reinstall Filter and Drain Valve. Never attempt to clean the Filter while the machine is pressurized. Always turn off the water supply and relieve pressure before starting any form of maintenance. The Filter should be cleaned at least once each season, even when operating with clean water. When pumping from ponds or streams, the Filter must be cleaned more frequently. In very dirty water conditions it may be necessary to clean the Filter each time the Water-Reel is used. Important Drain ValveFilterTubing Removal (on B110G only) To remove the small tube lines from their fittings, depress the ring at the top of the fitting and pull tube out. To reinstall the tubing insert into fitting and push firmly until it seats. To disconnect, push in release collar with thumb and index finger, pull the tube freeTo connect, push tubing in until it bottoms on the tube stop.24Maintenance and RepairPawl Rod (Hold Out) Rod When the Pawl Rod is in its upmost position (on tube pull out), the Pawls must completely clear the Drive Ring Gear.

Lubricate all points in the lubrication chart to prevent rust and corrosion from forming. 2. Check and clean Filter (B110G only). 3. Store the Water-Reel away from direct sunlight. 4. Make sure all openings such as the water Inlet are plugged so rodents and insects cannot bring foreign material into the Water-Reel. 5. When taking the Water-Reel out of storage, be sure there are no rodent or insect nests present that may plug filters, valves or sprinkler.

ABCDEF27Level-Wind Timing: Proper timing of the Level-Wind mechanism is essential to the successful operation of the Water-Reel. Improper Level-Wind timing will result in mis-wrapped Tube. Travel will be interrupted because the auto Shutoff Bar will stop the water motor in order to prevent damage to the irrigation Tube. Do not continue to operate if the Tube is not winding properly Important Confirm that the timing is at fault before attempting to change the timing. Your Water-Reel was shipped from the factory with the Tubing wound on it. The Level-Wind timing was set at the factory prior toinstalling the Tube. If there has been no disassembly of the Level-Wind mechanism, or the Tubing removed & reinstalled, it is very unlikely that the timing is wrong. If the Tubing is loose on the Spool the Level-Wind system will appear to be out of time. (See page 29 for the brake adjustment).Note: Review loose Tube troubleshooting on page 14.To re-time the Level-Wind, these steps must be followed: 1. Pull all the irrigation Tube out from the Water-Reel. You may wish to stop slightly before the Elbow is exactly on the angle and turn the Spool the last few degrees by hand. The barb to which the Tube is fastened must be 45° to the ground as shown (See Figure 1). 2. Observe the position of the Tube Follower on the horizontal Level-Wind Screw. The Tube Follower must be in its most extreme position (all the way to the end of the Level-Wind Screw thread) and on the same side of the Water-Reel as the Spool Elbow (See Figure 2). Align the Timing Mark with the Timing Mark Decal arrow (See Figure 3). Adjustments45º Figure 1Hose Elbow/Barb at 45 degreesFigure 2TubeFollowerTiming DecalTiming (hole) markin Level-Wind Screw28Adjustments3. To change the timing, remove the Shield and disconnect the Level-Wind Drive Chain from the right hand side of the Water-Reel. Rotate the Level-Wind Input Sprocket until the Tube Follower is positioned as described in step #2. Reinstall the Level-Wind Drive Chain and Shield. The Level-Wind will now be in proper timing. Level-WindInput SprocketLoosen Idler toremove ChainNever attempt to re-time the Water-Reel without first pulling all the Tube out. Changing the timing with some of the Tube still on the Spool may result in damage to the irrigation Tube and/or the Water-Reel. Important Adjusting The Spool Brake The purpose of the Spool Brake on the Water-Reel is to prevent coasting of the Spool when the Tube is being pulled out. This function is important in order to keep the Tube from becoming loose on the Spool. There is no other purpose for the Spool Brake except to prevent the Spool from coasting during pull out. The Spool Brake does not perform any useful function while the Tube is being retracted. The Spool Brake is the self-energized type that adds resistance in only one direction. The Spool Brake Band must be in good working order and maintained at the proper tension. The Spool Brake should offer substantial resistance to turning the Spool by hand. If the Spool Brake becomes damaged or broken, it must be replaced. Adjustments are made to the Spool Brake by tightening or loosening the Brake Adjustment Nut located under the Level-Wind Chain Guard behindthe Wheel. Note: it is not necessary to remove the Level-Wind Chain Guard to adjust the Spool Brake.Original factory settings should have the spring length adjustment around 3/4” (bottom of bracket to top of washer).This length will vary depending on the wear of the Spool Brake Band.When the Tube becomes loose on the Spool, it may appear that the Level-Wind is not in time with the incoming Tube. This occurs because the Spool is coasting inside the coils of Tube. The Level-Wind mechanism is moving but no Tube is coming out. This problem is more noticeable if the Water-Reel is being used on short runs where the entire Tube is seldom pulled all the way out.
