such as overhangs, ledges, slide areas, electrical
lines, underground cable, water main and gas lines,
etc., that can result in serious injury or even death.
ALWAYS request assistance from the appropriate
authorities if operating close to electrical or gas
lines, water main and any underground cables.

2. Slowly maneuver the grader around the object,
driving as close as possible (depending upon
