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 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.

Precautions for Lightning

The machine is vulnerable to lightning strikes.
In the event of an electrical storm, immediately stop
operation, and lower the bucket to the ground. Evacuate
to a safe place far away from the machine.
After the electrical storm has passed, check all of the
machine safety devices for any failure. If any failed
safety devices are found, operate the machine only after
repairing them.
