Snorkel ML12C, Operator'S Manual

The material lift is not electrically insulated. Death or serious injury will result from contact
with, or inadequate clearance from, an energized conductor.
Do not go closer than the minimum safe approach distance as defined by the Minimum Safe
Approach Distance section in Chapter 3–Safety.
Regard all conductors as energized.
Allow for electrical wire sag and material lift sway.
If the mast, forks, or any part of the material lift contacts a high-voltage electrical conductor, the entire
lift can become electrically charged.
Such contact could make your body a conductor to the other object, creating an electrical shock hazard
resulting in death or serious injury.
Do not approach the material lift until the electricity has been turned off.
Do not attempt to operate the winch when the mast, forks, or any part of the material lift is in contact
with a high-voltage electrical conductor or if there is an immediate danger of such contact.
Personnel operating, or near a material lift, must be continuously aware of electrical hazards, recog-
nizing that death or serious injury can result from contact with an energized conductor.
