The following list of checks and operation procedures should be followed during the initial star
up of the circle. These same basic procedures can also be followed at the initial start up of each
irrigation season.
1. Bolts: Check to insure that all bolts have been properly installed and tightened.
2. Grounding: Be sure the machine is properly grounded. Refer to the Getting Started and Electri-
cal sections for proper main panel grounding.
3. Control Limit Switches: The limit switches in the tower junction boxes have been pre-set at the
factory, however, they should be checked according to the procedures out lined in maintenance
section, Control Switch Adjustment.
4. Control rods: Check that all control rods are connected to the cam arm.
5. Alignment: The machine should be in a straight line when erection is completed. Adjust the
control rod so the tower safety limit switch roller is in the middle of the “V” of the cam. Tighten the
adjusting nuts. After the machine is started, nal alignment should be performed according to the
procedure in maintenance section, alignment.
6. Voltage: Voltage at the pivot panel should be 480V on all three legs of the power lines.
Note: Voltage is dependant upon your location. Voltage should not be more than 5% higher or low-
er than the recommended voltage or damage may occur.
7. Lubrication: Check the oil level in all gearboxes and motors. Grease the two ttings on
the pivot elbow until grease is visible at the top and bottom of bearing.
8. Starting: When all the above checks have been made, the machine is ready to start.
Close the main panel inner door and turn the main disconnect switch on. Follow operation instruc-
tions outlined in Section 4 Panel Operation.
WARNING MAKE SURE POWER IS DISCONNECTED AT THE MAIN SERVICE
PANEL BEFORE PERFORMING ANY ELECTRICAL SERVICE TO THE
MACHINE OR BEFORE OPENING THE INNER DOOR OF THE MASTER CON
TROL PANEL.

Your Western Center Pivot irrigation system should be run with a slight leading bow (center tow-
ers ahead of pivot and end tower) in both directions. A correctly aligned machine will have an
equal bow when operated in either direction. DO NOT let the machine run with a large leading
bow in one direction and a lagging bow in the other. To align the machine, follow these steps:
Start at the pivot end of the machine with the machine running in the forward direction and the
percent timer set to 75 percent. Stand between tower 2 and tower 3 and sight across motors No. 2
and 1 to the pivot stand pipe. Tower 1 should start when motor 1 appears to be slightly behind and
shut o󰀨 when it appears to be an equal distance ahead of the center of the standpipe.
When tower 1 is properly aligned, stand between towers 3 and 4 and sight across motors 3 and 2
to the pivot standpipe. Align tower 2 in the same manner as tower 1. As you get to the outer end
of the machine and can no longer see the pivot standpipe, pick a motor on one of the inner towers
and sight to it.
