Know your
pivot inside out.

The Pivot Training Manual — V1.0

Built from real field experience, this manual covers everything a technician needs to understand, troubleshoot, and maintain a centre pivot irrigation system — from basic electrical fundamentals to safety circuits, percent timers, and beyond. Written by the people who've fixed them, not just sold them.

Eight chapters.
Everything that matters.

This isn't a manufacturer's pamphlet. It's a hands-on technical guide developed for Pivot School — covering the circuits, components, and concepts that technicians actually encounter in the field.

Whether you're brand new to pivots or looking to sharpen your diagnostic skills, each chapter builds on the last — taking you from safety fundamentals all the way through the accessory circuits that keep modern systems running.
