Electrical Power Cables
You could be electrocuted or badly burned if you get
the machine or its attachments too close to electrical
power cables.
You are strongly advised to make sure that the safety
arrangements on site comply with the local laws and
regulations concerning work near electric power lines.
Before you start using the machine, check with your
electricity supplier if there are any buried power
cables on the site.
There is a minimum clearance required for working
beneath overhead power cables. You must obtain
details from your local electricity supplier.

The levers are spring-loaded to their central hold positions.
The speed of movement of the associated hydraulic rams
depends on how far you move a lever - the further you
move the lever, the faster the ram action.
The rams will stay in any position until you move them with
the levers or switches.
