Important Notice

The SR-60 is a diagnostic tool that senses electromagnetic fields emitted by objects underground. It is meant to aide the user in locating these objects by recognizing characteristics of the field lines and displaying them on the screen. As electromagnetic field lines can be distorted and interfered with, it is important to verify the location of underground objects before digging.

Several utilities may be underground in the same area. Be sure to follow local guidelines and one-call service procedures.

Exposing the utility is the only way to verify its existence, location, and depth.

Ridge Tool Co., its affiliates and suppliers, will not be liable for any injury or any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages sustained or incurred by reason of the use of the SR-60.

In any correspondence, please give all the information shown on the nameplate of your locator including model number and serial number.

DANGER

Important Notice

Always insert and connect the earth grounding rods before turning on the transmitter. Never pull out an earth grounding rod as long as the generator is switched on! Never pull the earth grounding rod or disconnect the ground lead if the other lead is connected to a utility.
