Spacing: When the surface to be irrigated cannot be watered by a single pass of the RainCoach�; it is necessary to make additional irrigation runs. The spacing for multiple runs should be such that the distance between the "paths of travel" (see diagram above) is 70% of the diameter shown in the Performance Chart.

Installation
Place the RainCoach� at end of area to be watered; 225 feet from water source. Reel out cable to other end of area; 225 feet beyond water source. Attach cable to stake. Connect hose to RainCoach� and turn on water. When RainCoach� reaches stake; it shuts off automatically; width of coverage varies from 108 to 144 feet. Driving power is supplied by two 1/8
nozzles on opposing driving arms; rotating clockwise. Speed of travel is adjustable from 7 to 11 hours for a 450 foot run. Make travel speed adjustments by changing the angle of the arms. This gives lower precipitation rate at fast speed and high rates at slow speed.
