Striking a utility
Electricity
Some circuit breakers automatically reset. Do not assume power has been permanently disconnected until you
confirm that the utility company has locked out power to that line.
DANGER: Striking an electrical line can energize machine, all connected equipment
and surrounding ground surface. Death or serious injury will result due to
electrocution to anyone contacting equipment. If strike occurs, do the following:
• Stay on machine: keep feet on platform.
• Contact utility company to shut off electrical power.
• Do not allow anyone to approach the machine or any
connected equipment.
• Anyone already on ground surface should move away using
small shuffling steps.
• Do not resume operation until utility company declares area
safe.
