GUIDELINES WHEN WORKING AROUND POWER LINES:
Make sure the work area is clear of major obstacles and overhead obstructions
Do not work within 20 feet (6.10 m) of high-voltage lines energized up to 35,000 volts, and
50 feet (15.24 m) of high-voltage lines energized up to 50,000 volts or of unknown voltage. It
is the law. The operator can be liable if activities in violation of this law cause injury or
property damage.
Only operate in conditions where the vehicle and equipment can be stabilized. Do not set up
or operate on soft soil, mud, snow or other unstable ground conditions that could allow the
vehicle or equipment to shift and move within 20 feet (6.10 m) of a power line.
Look up and live. Always check the operating vicinity for power lines before you drive into it.
Tree branches can hide power lines or cables from view. If operating at night, use powerful
lights to search for power lines or poles.
During windy conditions, allow additional clearance.
Do not rely on cage-type boom guards, insulating links, or proximity warning devices for
safety. Adhere to the required distances listed in table titled
