General Safety Instructions
WARNING
Follow Safety Instructions:
Carefully
read all safety messages in this manual and safety
sings 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 modifications 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 certified technician.
Tower alignment, pressure switch adjustment and tower control switch adjustment must be performed by a quali-
fied 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 flames away from battery, as gases given off by
electrolyte are explosive. Avoid sparks by connecting the ground cable last and disconnecting it first.
WARNING
Inspecting the System Prior to Operation:
Always inspect the system before opera-
tion. If the system appears impaired, do not operate the machinery and contact a Lindsay Dealer.
CAUTION
Area Lighting:
The owner shall provide area lighting as may be required.
