3 GENERAL
BAUER CENTERSTAR 9000 is an irrigation system rotating around a fixed centre (pivot tower) and thereby
irrigating a full circle or a part circle.
The boom elements (towers, spans) are driven electrically.
The joints (tower couplings) mounted between the spans allow horizontal and vertical angular deviation between
the individual boom elements so that the system can adjust perfectly to existing site conditions.
Electric alignment controls between the spans control the horizontal angular deviation and ensure that the
system runs in a straight line.
Through varying spray nozzle set-ups and system speeds it is possible to tailor the water application exactly to
all possible plant and soil requirements.
4 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFETY AND ACCIDENT
PREVENTION
Check the operational safety of the machine before every star.
1. In addition to the instructions in this manual, be sure to observe all specifications generally valid for safety
and accident prevention!
2. The warning signs and notes affixed to the machine contain information essential to safe operation.
Observing them serves your own personal safety!
3. Do not start the machine unless all guards and safety devices are mounted completely and in proper working
position!
4. Acquaint yourself with all system components and controls as well as their respective functions, before you
start to work. It is too late for this when the system is already running!
5. Check the vicinity of the system before start-up (children!). Make sure that sight is unobstructed!
6. For towing, couple the device according to the instructions and fix it only at the prescribed devices!
Electrical system check-up
1. Before the first start-up, check the electrical system and ensure that the installation complies with the safety
requirements.
2. Check the electrical system visually before every start-up.
3. All work beyond normal maintenance of the system is to be performed by a qualified service person only!
4. Never repair or service any part of the before all power has been disconnected!
Maintenance
1. As a rule, maintenance and cleaning work as well as repairs of malfunctions may be done only with the drive
and the motor turned off!
2. Check proper seat of nuts and screws regularly, and tighten them, if needed!
3. Dispose of oil, grease, and filters in accordance with regulations.
4. Always disconnect system from power before starting any work on the electrical system!
5. Before electrical welding on the system itself or built-on components, disconnect the mains or generator
supply cable!
6. Spare parts must meet minimum technical requirements by the manufacturer of the device.! This is
guaranteed by original equipment parts!

5 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR CENTERSTAR 9000
In addition to the GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION, the following
safety principles must be observed for operating BAUER CENTERSTAR 9000.
5.1 GROUNDING
WARNING !
THE PIVOT SYSTEM MUST BE GROUNDED COMPLETELY!
1. All metal parts of the system must be connected with each other, all tower couplings must be bridged with a
cable.
2. The entire metal structure of the Pivot must be connected and grounded at the pivot tower with an earthing
rod or earthing bar in such a manner that the grounding resistance according to the legal code is reached.
3. In addition, the yellow-green protective conductor lead along with the power supply must be connected to
the grounding terminal in the control panel and therefore grounded properly.
4. Dimensioning of grounding, grounding nail or grounding bar must be executed by a qualified electrical
contractor.
5. For towable systems, suitable grounding connection must be provided at every pivot centre. In every new
system setting the grounding must be connected firmly with the pivot tower.
5.2 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WARNING !
Since system is powered by 400V, always practice extreme caution when dealing with the electrical
system and the electric drive !
1. Before working on system electrical components, make sure the system is disconnected from all poles and
sources.
2. Provide a lock-out at the main switch to protect yourself against unintentional reclosing.
3. Verify safe isolation from supply.
4. Never repair or short-circuit a fuse by means of a wire or any other item.
5. Immediately replace all wires with defective insulation.
6. Short-circuiting of system safety circuit is to be done only by a qualified person and only for the purpose of
realigning a span.
5.3 MECHANICAL SYSTEM
WARNING !
1. Never service or repair any part or system component while the plant is operating.
2. Always disconnect the system from power before starting any maintenance work. Turn the main switch to “0”
and lock the switch to prevent unintentional reclosing. Do not depend on others to disconnect the power – do
it yourself!

6Operating Manual for BAUER CENTERSTAR 9000
3. Before you start, make sure that all persons have left the operating range of the system !
4. Make sure that no objects or vehicles are in or near the system tracks when system is running/starting to
operate.
5. When the system is operating the towers come on and off automatically, therefore keep a safe distance from
the towers.
6. Never step on the system while it is running.
7. Utmost care is required by the operator when spans are aligned.
8. Always turn off the system and the water supply before working on sprinklers or spray nozzles.
9. Use adequate means of access (ladder, elevating platform) for work on sprinklers or spray nozzles.
10. Proceed with the utmost caution when system is working near or under electric power lines. Make sure that
neither the pivot system nor the water jets get in contact with live wires.
11.When towing movable systems you have to make sure that the system does not get in contact with a power
line.
12.Make sure that no neighbouring plots or roads are wetted by the endgun. This could cause damage or
accidents.
13.If fertilisers or other chemicals are added to the irrigation water, avoid the mist and do not inhale it.

P 1 Voltmeter
Indicates the voltage between the phases L1 and L2.
P 2 Hour meter
Shows the total hours the system has operated.
S 1 CENTERSTAR OFF/ON switch
When turned to "ON" position, the system can be started by pushing the
buttons S2 or S3. If turned to “OFF” the system stops.
S 2 Illuminated "FORWARD START" pushbutton
Push this button to start the system in forward direction. The button is
illuminated as long as the system is operating in forward run (clockwise).
S 3 Illuminated „REVERSE START“ pushbutton
Push this button to start the system in reverse direction. The button is
illuminated as long as the system is operating in reverse run (counter-
clockwise)

10 Operating Manual for BAUER CENTERSTAR 9000
S 4 „SAFETY CIRCUIT ON-OFF“ switch
When turned “ON“, malfunction (e.g. doglegging) will shut off the entire system.
The “OFF” position serves exclusively for system alignment.
This switch MUST always be turned to “ON” while system is operating!
This is the only way to guarantee safety when system is operating unattended.
S 5 “WET-DRY“ switch
In the “WET” position, the system is shut down by means of a pressure switch
mounted on the infeed water pipe (optional) when pressure drops below the
limit. The “DRY” position allows to run the system dry (e.g. if the
CENTERSTART has to be returned to its parking position dry without
irrigating).
NOTE!
This switch is effective in combination with the automatic stop option only !
S 6 “STOP IN SLOT ON-OFF“ switch
In “ON“ position, the system stops in the desired parking position. The parking
position can be adjusted by shifting the momentary-contact limit switch on the infeed
water pipe.
NOTE!
This switch is only effective in combination with the AUTOMATIC STOP option!
K 4 Percentage timer "SPEED"
Speed adjustment.
The percentage timer is used to define the end tower run time per minute and thus
control the rotating speed of the pivot.
Setting the rotary button at 50 % therefore means that the end tower will run for 30
seconds and stand still for 30 seconds in one minute. This setting can be corrected
any time during the run.
