GS-2 Standard Controls

General Safety Instructions

WARNING

Lock Out/Tag Out: Disconnect all sources of energy and lock out machine before doing any

maintenance or repairs to the machine. Proper Lock Out procedures will prevent the energy source from

starting the machine or allowing parts to move unexpectedly

as well as prevent the machinery from being accidentally

turned on or restarted. Shut off and Lock Out all sources of

potential or kinetic energy. These may include, but are not

limited to, electrical, mechanical or hydro energy sources.

Lock Out is a procedure used for placing an actual locking de-

vice on the power source, preventing unexpected start up or

accidental release of energy. Lock Out is the preferred method

of accident prevention.

Tag Out procedure is used when the power can not be discon-

nected. Tag Out’s do not shut down the power source, Tag

Out’s only provide a warning about the danger of activating the machine.

Never try to operate machinery that is locked out or tagged out. Never attempt to remove these locks or tags on

machinery. Doing so will result in injury to personnel working on the machine. Only the initiator of the Lock Out or

Tag Out procedure may remove locks and tags.

WARNING

Main Disconnect: The main power disconnect is located at the main service breaker or

generator. The disconnect at the panel is not the main disconnect. A fusible service disconnect device

must be placed previous to this panel with the fuses sized for the load being supplied and installed in

accordance to NEC codes.

It is important to understand the differences between the Pivot Enable switch (if installed), High Voltage On/Off

switch and the service breaker On/Off throw switch.

The power company service disconnect provides the ability to turn off or return full service to the equipment from

the power company service line. This switch must be turned off and locked out when performing maintenance and

repairs on the system.

The High Voltage On/Off provides the ability to turn off or return power to the equipment from the service discon-

nect. This switch must be turned off and locked out in conjunction with the service disconnect switch. The High

Voltage switch only disconnects the power in the control panel, as energy is still coming in from the main power

line.

The Pivot Enable switch (if installed) provides power to the system controls. When enabled, the entire system and

the controls will power up. When turned off, the controls and system will not be energized. However, there will be

power in the panel circuitry. The Pivot Enable switch is NOT a disconnect and should not be treated as such.

WARNING

Training: All individuals involved in the installation, operation or maintenance of this equipment must

receive and understand training in the safe and proper methods of performing all duties assigned to them

at the time of the initial assignment and at least annually thereafter. Safety messages and appropriate

response procedures to emergencies or other situations which may arise should be fully understood.

WARNING

Follow Safety Instructions: Carefully

read all safety messages in this manual and safety

signs on the machinery. Keep safety signs in legible

condition. Replace any missing or damaged safety signs.

Learn how to operate the machine and controls properly. Do

not allow anyone to operate the machinery without proper

instructions.

Keep the machine in proper working condition. Only have the

machine serviced by a trained service technician on a routine basis. Unauthorized modications to the machine

may impair the function and/or safety and reduce the life of the machine.

CAUTION

Practice Safe Maintenance: Understand maintenance procedures before doing work.

Always follow proper Lock Out/Tag Out procedures before performing any maintenance.

Never lubricate or service machine while it is moving. Keep hands, feet and loose clothing from power-driven

parts. Disengage all power and operator controls to relieve pressure. Allow all heat-generating units to cool.

Keep all parts in good condition. Remove any build up of grease, oil and debris. Ensure that all parts have been

properly installed by a certied technician.

Tower alignment, pressure switch adjustment and tower control switch adjustment must be performed by a quali-

ed service technician.

WARNING

Electric Shock: Follow these precautions to prevent serious injury or death.

DO NOT allow moisture to enter the main panel. Moisture can allow voltage to conduct across surfaces, creating a

shock potential.

Dangerous voltage potential may be present at lightning arrester. Visually inspect arrester before each operation.

If lightning arrester shows signs of impairment, contact a Lindsay Dealer.

WARNING

Electrical Connections: Keep all sparks and ames away from battery, as gases given off by

electrolyte are explosive. Avoid sparks by connecting the ground cable last and disconnecting it rst.

CAUTION

Weather Conditions: Always be aware of weather conditions (extreme heat/cold, snow, rain,

sleet, heavy precipitation and high winds). Schedule work or maintenance only when the weather condi-

tions are mild and dress appropriately for the climate.
