When work is planned inside or around structures such as buildings, bridges, and low-hanging tree limbs, check
for adeq
uate overhead and side clearances. Be sure to account for the height of the boom or Strong Arm.
Good ventilation is very important. Sparks from the electrical system and engine exhaust can cause an
explosion or fire in a flammable or explosive atmosphere. Do not operate this machine in an area with
flammable dust or vapors.
Carbon monoxide fumes from the engine
can asphyxiate. Operate only outdoors or provide adequate ventilation
if indoor operation is essential.
If operating near or on roadw
ays, make sure local authorities are contacted for regulations regarding traffic
control and safety. Properly warn and divert motor and pedestrian traffic. Use all necessary signs, cones,
barricades, flag persons, and lighting devices needed for the work situation.
WARNING: Engine exhaust can asphyxiate. If inhaled directly or continuously, the
combustion fumes produced by the engine can be very dangerous and/or lethal for the
human body. If work has to be done in enclosed environments, take all necessary
precautions to ensure the circulation of fresh air and protect the respiratory tract using a
suitable mask.
