Pre-Summer Check Is Your Center Pivot Ready for the Peak Irrigation Season

As summer approaches and crops enter their key growth period, your center pivot irrigation system faces long hours of high-load operation. A full pre-season inspection is critical to avoid downtime, ensure uniform irrigation, save water and energy, and protect yields.

1. Structure & Mechanical Check
Inspect center tower, trusses, towers and cantilevers for loose bolts, deformation or corrosion.
Check tires, wheel reducers, motors, gearboxes and drive shafts; eliminate oil leaks and abnormal noises.
Ensure stable, synchronized movement across all spans.

2. Pipe & Water Delivery System
Examine main pipes, flanges, gaskets and couplings for leaks or blockages.
Clean pipelines and verify the collector ring rotates smoothly with no flow restriction.
For rubber-lined pipes, confirm integrity to resist corrosion in fertigation.

3. Sprinklers, Spray Guns & Pressure Control
Clean clogged nozzles and replace worn sprinkler heads.
Test pressure regulators for stable output to maintain uniform droplet size.
Inspect end spray guns for smooth rotation, tight seals and good performance.

4. Electrical & Intelligent Control
Test control panel, tower boxes, cables and safety switches.
Verify sensor data (temperature, humidity, wind, flow) and fault feedback functions.
Check GPS, remote monitoring and communication modules for normal connection.

5. Fertigation & Pump Systems
Clean fertilizer tanks and check injection pumps and mixing devices.
Test water pumps (centrifugal, solar, diesel) for stable pressure and flow.

6. Final Test Run
Run a full-circle low-speed test to confirm coordination and coverage.
Clear field obstacles and ensure the center base is firmly anchored.
