Learn To Be A Safe Operator
Read This Manual. Know the controls on the RainTrain2®and also how to stop the water supply!
Do NOT allow children to operate the RainTrain2®.
Do NOT allow anyone to operate the RainTrain2®without proper instruction.
Protect Children
• Keep children away when you operate the RainTrain2®.
• Do not allow children to play around the machine or in the water from the sprinkler.
• Never allow children to climb or ride on the machine at any time.
Use Caution Around Pressurized Lines
• For your own protection, always take care when working with or around pressurized
equipment. Shut off the pump before working with any components including the
pump, supply lines, machine, or related equipment.
• Be sure pressure is relieved from the supply line when disconnecting.
• When the automatic sprinkler shut-off is used, pressurized water may be trapped in
the hose supplying water to the RainTrain2®.
Stay Away From Operating Sprinklers
Stay away and keep others away from the sprinkler head during operation.
Pressurized water from a sprinkler can inflict serious injury to bystanders.

Assembly
The RainTrain2®is shipped with most of the assembly complete. Once the machine is completely assembled, read this
entire manual before operating your RainTrain2®. The remaining items to be assembled before operation are the
wheels, sprinkler, sprinkler nozzle, and hose fitting.
1. Assemble the four wheels to the chassis using 4 brass shoulder bolts and a 7/8” or 22 mm socket wrench
(See figure 14 on page 19). The hubcaps can then be pressed into place. The hubcaps may need to
be rotated and pressed at the same time to fit them in completely.
2. Attach the sprinkler head to the RainTrain2®using a 24 mm wrench. Use Teflon tape to seal the threads.
3. Install the appropriate sprinkler nozzle using a 3/4” wrench (refer to the “Specification and Performance“
section to select the correct nozzle). Note: The orientation of the nozzle is extremely important for
performance. The nozzle must be adjusted so that the sprinkler swing arm is perfectly flat against the
nozzle stop. If the nozzle is even slightly cocked, the sprinkler may not have enough power to rotate
4. Select and install the proper hose fitting on the water inlet port of the RainTrain2®. The type of fitting on
the drag hose will determine which fitting should be used on the RainTrain2®.

Operation of the On/Off Valve and Control Rod
The On/Off Valve and the Control Rod are an important part of the RainTrain2®. This section describes the operation of
the On/Off Valve and Control Rod.
The Control Rod will latch in the Off position when the Control Rod Stem is up and pushed to the rear of the machine
(see figure 4). Note: Verify that the Latching Spool on the Control Rod is adjusted correctly. The Latching Pawl should
never fall behind the Latching Spool when the Control Rod is pushed completely into the machine.
In the Off position, the Control Rod unseats the Check Ball Valve and allows water to pass into the outer diaphragm
cavity. This closes the diaphragm and does not allow water to pass through to the turbine or the sprinkler (see figure 4).

Controls
To reset and open the valve, rotate the Control Rod Stem down (see figure 5).
The Latching Spool will release from the Latching Pawl and the spring should
slide the Control Rod Forward. Caution: There should not be any water
pressure to the RainTrain2®when the valve is turned on. These
diagrams show water pressure for educational purposes only.
Pressurized water from a sprinkler can inflict serious
injury to the operator or bystanders.
