D7x11 Series II Navigator Directional Drill Operation 50-17
If you strike an underground power line, it is possible to trip the power line circuit breaker, which will interrupt
electrical power to that line. Many circuit breakers automatically reset and will re-energize the line.
If the horn has sounded, and you have pressed the reset button, the horn will stop if the circuit breaker has not
yet reset automatically. Do not assume that power to the line has been permanently disconnected until you have
confirmed that the utility company has locked out power to that line.
