OPERATION

13. High Voltage Cables

Depending on the voltage of the cables and the weather conditions there is a danger of electric flashover if the head or arms approach the cables too closely.

ALWAYS MAINTAIN A MINIMUM CLEARANCE DISTANCE OF 5’ WHEN OPERATING NEAR HIGH VOLTAGE CABLES.

If in any doubt consult your local electric company regarding a safe procedure for work.

OVERHEAD OBSTRUCTIONS Always be aware that the machine is approximately 5 feet high when folded - take care when maneuvering in areas with overhead obstacles especially power cables, low bridges etc. or when entering buildings.

OPERATION

14. Hedge Cutting Procedure

Cut the side and bottom of the field side first. This leaves the maximum thickness of hedge on the road side to prevent the possibility of any debris being thrown through the hedge into the path of oncoming vehicles.
