Call Before You Dig
Never begin work at a new location until the
work area has been fully marked for underground
utilities. Buried electrical, telephone, cable
wires, gas, water and sewer lines are likely to be
present. Unintentionally disrupting these hidden
hazards while working with your loader can result
dangerous situations and property damage.
Many countries offer a “Dial Before You Dig”
service which advises the location of underground
services in your area. If available also use this
service prior to digging, drilling, trenching or any
form of excavating and earthmoving.
CAUTION
You must ensure that underground utilities
have been officially marked before working in
the area. Markings must be valid according to
state law or practice.
To begin the process of utility location, call the
respective “Dial Before You Dig” authority for your
Country or State, several days before work is to
begin. Your call will be routed to a local utility
locator dispatch service. Be ready to provide
information about where you plan to dig, the type
of work involved, and how you can be reached.
The applicable utility companies will be informed,
and utility locator personnel will be sent to the
property to mark the approximate locations of the
underground utilities. They will use paint, flags,
stakes, or other temporary methods.
While operating your loader and attachments in a
marked area, keep a distance of at least 2 meters
(6 feet) from all underground services.
DANGER
During loader operation, maintain a minimum
“no-work zone” buffer of 3 meters (10 feet)
from any overhead electrical service and 2
meters (6 feet) from any underground service.
