CP600 Pivot Operation Manual
POM-EN-December 2018
24
Your Western pivot requires 480 volt 60 cycle, 3-phase electric power to operate sucient
charge. There is also 110-volt control power throughout the system. Other potential haz-
ards include any injected fertilizers and pesticides, and water under pressure.
Note: Voltage is dependant upon location. Voltage should not be more than +/- 5% than
the recommended voltage in your area.
CAUTION: Return operating controls to “neutral” or “off” position after mainte-
nance is completed.
Sequence of Lockout or Tagout Procedure
1. Notify all aected persons that you are about to lockout the pivot, and tell them why the piv
ot is being placed “out of service”. Before locking out the pivot, you must familiarize yourself
with the type and magnitude of the pivot’s energy source and determine any related haz
ards.
2. If the machine or system is operating shut it down by rotating the forward / reverse selector
switch to the o position.
3. On the main control panel, turn the main disconnect lever to the o position so the pivot
cannot be energized while it is being serviced. Drain all water from the system and disen
gage any automatic valves. If your pivot is rigged with an automatic valve, it must be locked
out so that the pivot does not unexpectedly ll with water while you are servicing.
4. Lockout the main disconnect (energy-isolating device) on the main control panel. If working
down line on the pivot, the tower disconnect switches on the individual tower boxes must
also be shut o.
5. After ensuring that no personnel are exposed, and as a check on having disconnected the
energy source, operate the start button to make certain the pivot will not operate.
