Avoid Power Lines
Serious injury or death can result from contact with electric
lines.
Never move any part of the machine or load closer to any
electric line than 3 m (10 ft) plus twice the line insulator
length.
Precautions for Operation
If the front attachment or any part of the machine comes in
contact with an overhead obstacle, both the machine and
the overhead obstacle may become damaged, and personal
injury may result.
Take care to avoid coming in contact with overhead
obstacles with the bucket or arm during operation.
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.
