Electrical Line Safety
WARNING
If you leave the seat of the machine or touch
any part of the machine when it is charged with
electricity, serious injury or death could result.
Do not leave the seat of the machine if the machine
is charged with electricity.
Important: In the event the machine becomes
electrically charged, immediately contact the proper
emergency and utility authorities to secure the area.
If you are operating the machine and it becomes
electrically charged, do not leave the seat until the source
of electrical energy is removed from the machine. Keep
other people away from the machine if it is electrically
charged.

interrupter or breaker will trip, but to ensure your safety,
always assume that the machine may be conducting
electricity.
Note: You will be safe as long as you do not leave the
seat of the machine.
•
Touching any part of an electrically charged machine while
you are on the ground may cause a severe electric shock.
Note: Do not allow another individual to touch or
approach the machine when it is charged.

and fire hazard could occur. Leaking gas is both
flammable and explosive and may cause serious
injury or death.

• Remove all individuals from the work area.
• Immediately contact the proper emergency and
utility authorities to secure the area.
