Maintenance - In addition to the centre pivots,  maintenance is needed on control/guiding systems and on the motor used to run the on board generator, pump and filtration system as per the manufacturer's recommendation, to minimise system failures and damage to components.

Operation/Management Hints Similar as to operate a centre pivot. When the system completes a pass across the field, the machine must return to the starting point. One way to operate is to apply less water on each pass and operate the system back and forth as needed to meet water demand, irrigating both ways. A second method of operating is to irrigate in one direction, and run the unit back dry to the starting point to be ready for the next irrigation.
