5 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR LINESTAR 9000
In addition to the GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION, the following safety
principles for operating the BAUER LINESTAR 9000 must be strictly observed.
5.1 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WARNING !
System is powered by 400V, so be sure to practice utmost caution when
handling the electrical system and the electric drive!
1. All metal parts of the unit must be interconnected, all tower couplings must be bridged with a cable.
2. In addition the yellow-green earth conductor, which goes with the power supply, must be connected to the
protective conductor terminal in the control panel.
3. Before working on electrical components, make sure the system has been disconnected from all poles
and sources, and the generator has been stopped.
4. Secure the main switch with a padlock against unintentional re-closing.
5. Check electrical system for zero potential.
6. Never repair or short-circuit a fuse by means of a wire or any other item.
7. Immediately repair or replace all wires with defective isolation.
8. Do never bridge the system safety circuit except for system aligning by a qualified person.
5.2 MECHANICAL SYSTEM
WARNING !
1. Never service or repair any part or system component while the machine is operating.
2. Always disconnect the system from power before starting any maintenance work. Turn the main switch to
„0“ and padlock the switch to prevent unintentional re-closing. Stop the generating unit. Be sure to power
off the machine by yourself!
3. Before you start, make sure that all persons have left the operating range of the system.
4. Make sure no objects or vehicles are in or near the system tracks when system is starting to operate or is
actually running.
5. During system run, the towers shut on and off automatically. So keep a safe distance from the towers.
6. Never climb on the system while it is running.
7. Utmost care is required by the operator when spans are aligned.
8. Always turn off the system and stop water supply before working on sprinklers or spray nozzles.
9. Use adequate means of access (
ladder, elevating platform ) for work on sprinklers or spray nozzles.
10.Proceed with utmost caution, when system is working near or under electric power lines, so that neither
the metal structure nor the water jets of sprinklers get in contact with live wires.
11.When towing movable systems, make sure the system does not get in contact with a power line.
12.Make sure not to wet neighbouring plots or roads with the end gun. This could cause damage or accidents.
13.If fertilisers or other chemicals are added to the irrigation water, avoid mist and do not inhale it.
