25, Manual for BAUER RAINSTAR A3 21 10 WINTERIZATION – DRAINING In areas where frost is likely in winter after the irrigation season, the machine must be drained in time. A compressor with a minimum air capacity of 500 l/min. at 1 bar overpressure is best suited for this purpose. The small amount of water remaining in the PE-pipe after the draining will not do any harm. Turn out the drain plug on the bottom of the Ti 7 turbine. We recommend to turn it in again o…

19, Bauer RAINSTAR A3 Manual for BAUER RAINSTAR A3 15 3.2 OPERATING MODE II: Laying down the PE-pipe In addition to the pull-off method, the PE-pipe also can be laid down on the ground. This method is mostly used in situations where heavy soil makes it im possible to pull the cart across the field or where the field is longer than once the PE-pipe length. Moreover, the laying down method allows to use smaller tractors because no pulling forces are applied on the pipe. Drive into the field with the RAINSTAR A3 taking into considerati…
