SAFETY
SA-14
AVOID POWER LINES
•
Serious injury or death can result if the machine or
front attachments are not kept a safe distance from
electric lines.
•
When operating near an electric line, NEVER
move any part of the machine or load closer than
3 m (10 ft) plus twice the line insulator length.
•
Check and comply with any local regulations that
may apply.
•
Wet ground will expand the area that could cause
any person on it to be affected by electric shock.
Keep all bystanders or co-workers away from the
site.
