SAFETY INFORMATION TMS9000-2 OPERATOR MANUAL
2-24 Published 02-21-2019, Control # 611-05
kept at least 6 m (20 ft) away from all electrical
power lines and equipment less than 350 kV.
If operation within 3 m (10 ft) of any power lines cannot be
avoided, the power utility must be notified and the power
lines must be de-energized and grounded before
performing any work.
Electrocution can occur even without direct contact with the
crane.
Crane operation is dangerous when close to an energized
electrical power source. Exercise extreme caution and
prudent judgement. Operate slowly and cautiously when in
the vicinity of power lines.
Before operating this crane in the vicinity of electrical power
lines or equipment, notify the power utility company. Obtain
positive and absolute assurance that the power has been
turned off.
This crane is not insulated. Always consider all parts of the
load and the crane, including the hoist rope, wire rope,
pendant cables, and tag lines, as conductors. You, the
operator, are responsible for alerting all personnel of
dangers associated with electrical power lines and
equipment. Do not allow unnecessary personnel in the
vicinity of the crane while operating. Permit no one to lean
against or touch the crane. Permit no one, including riggers
and load handlers, to hold the load, load lines, tag lines, or
rigging gear.
If the load, hoist rope, boom, or any portion of the crane
contacts or comes too close to an electrical power source,
everyone in, on, and around the crane can be seriously
injured or killed.
Most overhead power lines are not insulated. Treat all
overhead power lines as being energized unless you have
reliable information to the contrary from the utility company
or owner.
The rules in this Operator Manual must be followed at all
times, even if the electrical power lines or equipment have
been de-energized.
The safest way to avoid electrocution is to stay away from
electrical power lines and electrical power sources.
It is not always necessary to contact a power line or power
source to become electrocuted. Electricity, depending on
magnitude, can arc or jump to any part of the load, load line,
or crane boom if it comes too close to an electrical power
source. Low voltages can also be dangerous.
DANGER
Electrocution Hazard!
Grove cranes are not equipped with all features required
to operate within OSHA 29CFR1926.1408, Power Line
Safety, Table A clearances when the power lines are
energized.
