Power Lines
Do not operate the machine near energized power lines. All local, state/provincial and federal
regulations must be met before approaching power lines, overhead or under-
ground cables, or power sources of any kind with any part of the carrier or
attachment. Always contact the appropriate utility when operating near power
lines. The lines should be moved, insulated, disconnected or de-energized
and grounded before operating in the area.
Current in high voltage lines may arc some distance from the wire to a nearby ground. Keep all parts
of the machine at least 50 feet (16m) away from power lines.
Working Overhead
Avoid handling material overhead whenever possible. Safety glass and wire mesh
cab guarding must be installed to protect the operator from flying debris that may be
created during handling. Falling Object Protection Structures, or FOPS, are neces-
sary for any application where material is to be handled overhead.
