Nelson 1865 Rain Train Cast Iron Traveling Lawn Sprinkler Tractor w Auto ShutOff

Rain TrainTraveling Sprinkler With a rustproof cast iron construction . the sprinkler waters up to 13 .500 square feet . though covering a lesser area of 11 .900 square feet ensures more effective performance. The sprinkler arms adjust for varied spray patterns and arcs . throwing water from 15 to 56 feet. The sprinkler waters as it travels along a hose on a preset route . much like an electric model train . except with a hose as the rails. To water . the homeowner lays out the hose as desired . taking care to avoid dramatic corners or turnabouts that may result in hose kinks or a derailed sprinkler. A front wheel runs on the hose with the two traction-ready rear wheels bestride. The hose connects to the posterior of the sprinkler. For the best results . LR Nelson recommends a 5/8-inch hose . though a 1/2-inch hose may suffice . up to 200 feet in length. For sprinkling termination . the user places a shut-off ramp on the hose to lift the sprinkler off its “rails .” while simultaneous stopping operation. The shut-off ramp should be installed with at least five feet of hose between it and the spigot. The traveling sprinkler operates at two motor speeds . high and low. On high power . the sprinkler travels approximately 37 feet per hour . with a 1/4-inch water application. On low power . the sprinkler moves at a 21 feet per hour rate with a 1/2-inch water application. The simple installation requires no tools. The sprinkler weighs 18 pounds
