Apwa Uniform Color Code - Pipehorn Series 800-H User Manual

SAFETY FIRST!
DANGER! Shock Hazard. Connecting directly to any con-
ductor can be hazardous and result in electric shock, injury,
or death. Only licensed or authorized persons should make
direct connections to potentially energized conductors.
Always exercise good safety procedures when operation locating
equipment. These include, hooking a transmitter directly to ener-
gized conductors only when licensed or authorized, being con-
stantly aware of traffic and equipment operating nearby, and re-
moving any flammable or toxic liquids and gases from the area
before using a locator.
Employing proper safety practices during locating tasks will
perhaps avoid an accident and may save your life.
