Electrically Insulated Boots
If electrically insulated boots are not available locally, they can be obtained through Vermeer Corporation. A
two-pair purchase voucher is supplied with the machine.
Rubber electrically insulated boots, when in good condition and correctly used, also protect the wearer from
serious injury, death, and electrical burns. The boots must meet or exceed electrical hazard protection
requirements when tested at 14,000 volts.
Inspect boots before each use. Check for cracking, holes, and unusual wear on the sole. If there is any damage,
discard boots. Damaged boots will not provide adequate electrical protection.
After each use, rinse boots with water to remove mud, chemicals, and debris. Because of the natural rubber in
the boots, it is crucial to use a rubber protectant or furniture polish to keep rubber soft and help prevent
pinholes, stress cracks, dry rotting, and ozone deterioration.
