Safety
Operate Safely
Valley Irrigation machines are designed with safety in mind. However, if this machine is operated incorrectly,
it may pose a safety threat to the operator. A good safety program is much like a chain, it is only as strong
as its weakest link. The manufacturer, dealer, and operator must maintain and improve all safety programs.
Following is a list of safety operating tips which you and all other persons servicing or operating the machine
must read and understand:
!
CAUTION
• DO NOT operate this machine without first
reading the Owner’s Manuals for the machine.
• Read all safety messages in this manual and
safety signs on the machine.
• DO NOT let anyone operate this machine with-
out proper instructions.
• Unauthorized modifications may impair the
function and/or safety of the machine.
• If you do not understand any part of this manu-
al, contact your Valley dealer.
EMPLOYEE INSTRUCTION ON SAFETY
It is very important to instruct your employees on the
safe use of this equipment at the time of their initial
assignment to operate it. DO NOT let anyone operate
this equipment without proper instructions.
Safety training should be presented annually and
the service manager should ensure employees fully
understand the safety messages and what to do in
case of emergencies.
EMERGENCY STOPPING
The machine can be stopped at any time at any tower
by turning the disconnect switch, located underneath
the tower box, to the OFF position. See Figure 12-1.

DANGER
DISCONNECT POWER WHEN SERVICING
ALWAYS
disconnect electrical power before
servicing or performing maintenance to the machine.
If you are going to perform maintenance on the
machine,
YOU MUST shut off and lock the main
power disconnect as shown below. See Figure 12-2.
The blue (OSHA safety color code) tag shown
below should also be filled out and attached to the
disconnect after locking. See Figure 12-3.
The tag should reveal the name of a person to contact
