VRI General Safety Instructions
WARNING
Personal Safety:Through out this manual and on all safety signs, the precautionary statements
(“DANGER”, “WARNING”, “CAUTION” and “NOTICE”) can be found, followed by a hazard description
and preventative actions to be taken. These precautions are intended for the personal safety of the operator and
those within the vicinity of the machinery. Please take time to read these precautions.
Hazard Severity Panels
Background
Color of
Panel
Contrast
Color Meaning/Use Hazard Severity Panel Illustration
Red White Indicates a hazardous situation, that, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Orange Black Indicates a hazardous situation, that, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Yellow Black Indicates a hazardous situation, that, if not
avoided, could result in minor or moderate
injury.
Blue White Indicates information considered important, but
not hazard-related (e.g. messages relating to
property damage).
NOTICE
Machine Integrity:Additional precautionary statements (“ATTENTION” and “IMPORTANT”) are intended
for machine integrity and are followed by specic instructions.
ATTENTION: The word “ATTENTION” is used to warn the operator of potential machine damage if a certain pro-
cedure is not followed.
IMPORTANT: The word “IMPORTANT” is used to provide the reader with information necessary to prevent minor
machine damage if a certain procedure is not followed.
WARNING: All maintenance and service must be performed by a Lindsay Dealer.
VRI-2 VRI Operation/Installation Manual
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 device 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 disconnected. Tag Out does not shut down the power
source, Tag Out only provides 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.
Sometimes it may be necessary to energize the system to test or position equipment during maintenance or
repair. Such application must be performed only by a qualied technician and all Lock Out removal steps must be
followed before power is turned on.
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 fuseable 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.

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 modications 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 certied 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.
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.
VRI-4 VRI Operation/Installation Manual
General Safety Instructions
WARNING
Repairing the System: In the event that the Zimmatic System needs to be repaired; discon-
nect the power source, depressurize the system and contact the Lindsay Dealer.
Only a Lindsay Dealer should make necessary repairs to the system.
Ensure that only Genuine Lindsay Parts are used on the system.
WARNING
Overhead Maintenance: Overhead maintenance should be performed by a Lindsay Dealer.
Never attempt to climb on an irrigation machine for any reason.
WARNING
Lifting Components:Extreme care is needed for lifting components during installation/assem-
bly. Only a Lindsay Dealer using the proper lifting equipment may perform this task.
Use caution when lifting heavy objects. Components weighing in excess of 50 lbs. (22.7 kg.) must be lifted with
the assistance of another individual or mechanical lifting device.
Do not work or stand under system or components during assembly. Due to the weights involved, severe injury or
death can result if components should fall.
WARNING
Dismantling the System:If it is ever necessary to dismantle a Zimmatic System, extreme
care must be taken. As with installation and assembly, dismantling must only be performed by a Lindsay
Dealer.
WARNING
Impaired Safety Protection:Do not attempt to operate if protection may be impaired. If the
equipment appears to have been changed or operates abnormally, protective devices may be impaired.
Do not attempt to operate and have the equipment serviced by a Lindsay Dealer.
WARNING:Wear appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)
WARNING:Ensure that power is turned off/disconnected before removing any protective covers.
WARNING: Do not use this product in a manner not specied in this manual.
WARNING:The power switch in the VRI main panel (14-9957-0) is not the main disconnect for the
system. The main disconnect is in the irrigation system main control panel.
