13. High Voltage Cables

Depending on the voltage of the cables and the weather conditions there is a danger of

electric flashover if the head or arms approach the cables too closely.

ALWAYS MAINTAIN A MINIMUM CLEARANCE

DISTANCE OF 5' WHEN OPERATING NEAR HIGH

VOLTAGE CABLES.

If in any doubt consult your local electric company

regarding a safe procedure for work.

OVERHEAD OBSTRUCTIONS Always be aware

that the machine is approximately 5 feet high when

folded - take care when maneuvering in areas with

overhead obstacles especially power cables, low

bridges etc. or when entering buildings.

Cut the side and bottom of the field side first. This

leaves the maximum thickness of hedge on the

road side to prevent the possibility of any debris

being thrown through the hedge into the path of

oncoming vehicles.
