Drill operator and tracker operator must wear protective boots, and the drill operator must have protective
gloves within reach, all meeting the following standards:
• Boots must have high tops and meet the electric hazard protection requirements of ASTM F2413 or
ASTM F1117when tested at 14,000 volts. Tuck legs of pants completely inside boots.
• Gloves must have 17,000 AC maximum use voltage, according to ASTM specification D120.
If working around higher voltage, use gloves and boots with appropriately higher ratings.
Read and follow “Electric Jobsite Precautions” on page 85. Review safety procedures before each job.
If an electric strike occurs, immediately contact your local Ditch Witch

dealer to have the electric strike
system tested.
