EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Before operating any equipment, review emergency procedures
and check that all safety precautions have been taken.
EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN - Turn ignition switch to stop position
or push remote engine stop button.
Electric Strike Description
When working near electric cables, remember the following:
• Electricity follows all paths to ground, not just path of least
resistance.
• Pipes, hoses, and cables will conduct electricity back to all
equipment.
• Low voltage current can injure or kill. Almost one-third of
work-related electrocutions result from contact with less than
440 volts.
Most electric strikes are not noticeable, but indications of a strike
include:
• power outage
• smoke
• explosion
• popping noises
• arcing electricity
If any of these occur, or if strike alarm sounds or flashes,
assume an electric strike has occurred.
