Operate Safely (Continued)
!
CAUTION
CHECK WHEEL TRACKS BEFORE STARTING
Make sure all objects, livestock or persons are clear of
the machine before starting. Drive trains are powerful
and can climb over vehicles, equipment, etc.
!
CAUTION
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY
Pivots are NOT playground equipment.
Prevent children from playing or climbing around
on the machine. This can be extremely dangerous,
especially if the machine is operating.
!
CAUTION
CHECK MACHINE DIRECTION
DO NOT operate the machine if it moves in the
direction opposite to that which was chosen.
Forward should be clockwise, and reverse should be
counter-clockwise.
!
CAUTION
KEEP WATER OFF ROADWAYS
It is against the law in most states to allow water to
spray on state and county roadways. This is a serious
hazard to passing motorists.
If end guns are used, make sure you read and
understand the correct procedures for setting the on
and off positions to avoid watering the roadways.
If an end gun is watering a roadway, immediately
discontinue use and adjust the shutoff setting or
call your Valley dealer to repair the end gun shut off
mechanism.
!
CAUTION
PART CIRCLE OPERATION SAFETY
If the machine reverses direction at a roadway or a
physical object such as a building, tree line, power
pole, etc., then you MUST provide a backup device
to stop the machine if the reversing mechanism were
to fail. Refer to Figure 13-1.
Contact your Valley dealer for more information
concerning physical barricades for machines under
these circumstances.

CAUTION
PROPER USE OF THE SAFETY OVERRIDE
Caution MUST be taken by the operator when
using the safety override function as it will bypass
or disable all of the machine’s automatic safety
shutdown circuits.
• NEVER DEPRESS AND HOLD THE START/STOP
SAFETY OVERRIDE SWITCH IN THE START PO-
SITION FOR MORE THAN 3 TO 5 SECONDS.
If the machine is not in full view by the operator, do
not use the Safety Override function.
The operator MUST inspect the entire machine
between each safety override start attempt.
Repeated safety override start attempts can cause
severe structural damage.
Call your Valley dealer if the machine fails to start.
