2-7
Avoid Overhead Power Lines
CAUTION
Keep away from overhead power lines.
Serious injury or death can result. Proceed
cautiously under overhead power lines and
around utility poles. Know the transport
height of your machine. Electrocution can
occur without direct contact with overhead
electrical lines.
Use a Signal Person
Use a signal person to direct movement of the tractor/im -
plement combination whenever the tractor operator’s view
is obstructed.
Designate one individual as the signal person. Always have
signal person stand in clear view. Be sure that signal per -
son stays a safe distance away from the machine when it is
moving.
Before starting the tractor, discuss hand signals and what
each signal means to avoid misunderstandings and confu-
sion, which could result in a serious injury or fatal accident
for someone.
Keep all bystanders away whenever the machine is moved.
Electrical Storm Safety
Do not operate machine during an electrical storm.
If you are on the ground during an electrical storm, stay away
from machinery and equipment. Seek shelter in a permanent,
protected structure.
If an electrical storm should strike during operation, remain in the
cab. Do not leave the cab. Do not make contact with the ground
or objects outside the machine.
Working at Heights (If Applicable)
Do not stand on surfaces which are not designed as steps or
platforms.
Do not use the machine as a lift, ladder or platform for working
at heights.
