Electrical Hazards
• This machine is not insulated and does not provide protection from contact or
being near electrical current.
• NEVER operate the excavator in an area where overhead power lines, overhead
or underground cables, or other power sources may exist without ensuring the
appropriate power or utility company de-energizes the lines.
• Always check for power lines before raising boom.
Always “Call Before You Dig”. Contact your local One-Call (811 in USA) or the
One-Call referral number (888-258-0808 in USA and Canada) to have underground
utilities located before digging.
