your local utility service to check for such items (if
available).

and overhangs.

have been advised of the work to be performed and
they have indicated that they have read and
understood the operator's manual.
11. Do not wear baggy, torn or oversized clothing when
working with the excavator as such clothing can get
caught in rotating parts or control elements which can
cause accidents or injuries. Wear adequate safety
clothing, e.g. safety helmet, safety shoes, eye
protection, ear protection, working gloves, etc., as
necessary and as prescribed by law or statutes.

the excavator has been filled with fuel, lubricated,
greased and undergone all necessary maintenance.
