NOTICE
Remember that the roof window may distort how
distance is perceived.
Keep the following in mind to ensure safety when
operating.
- Operate the machine slower than normal
operation in the vicinity of power lines.
- Consider the long-span power line, which can
sway and reduce the clearance.
- Pay attention when travelling over uneven
ground that could cause the machine to lose
balance.
- Keep all persons away from the machine
whenever it is close to power lines.
- Prohibit persons from touching the machine or
its load before it is confirmed to be safe.
Find out what action to take if a person has been
exposed to an electric shock.
Procedure if a machine touches the power line.
- The operator should stay inside the cab.
- All other persons should keep away from the
machine, ropes, and load.
- The operator should try to remove the machine
from contact by moving it in the reverse
direction from that which caused the contact.
- If the machine cannot be moved away from
contact, the operator should remain inside cab
until the lines have been de-energized.
