English term or phrase: *cracked state* - *heads*
Leave the station isolation valve in a slightly cracked state until you are certain
water is flowing into the discharge piping.On irrigation systems it is a good idea
to open several nozzles at the remote end of the system. When water begins
to emerge from these heads the system is reasonably full and the pump station
isolation valve can be gradually opened to its full position.

Los heads se refiere a las salidas de los irrigadores, que en este caso en particular se est  usando "heads", cuya traducci¢n literal generar¡a confusiones.
