OPERATION GUIDELINES
6. If the roll up cable climbs up the shield on the auger, extend the second boom. As the auger is pulled
parallel with the boom, retract the second boom until it is fully retracted.
7. There is an audible “click” when the latch secures the auger. Allow the auger to settle back on the latch.
The roll-up cable can also be replaced while it is in the stored position.
HANDLING AND SETTING POLES
ELECTROCUTION HAZARDS FROM OVERHEAD LINES
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD
If permissible, de-energize the lines and test to verify lines are not energized.
DO NOT set, install or remove poles in, near, or among energized lines without taking the following
precautions:
1. Ground the vehicle while following your companies policies.
2. Always maintain proper clearance from energized power lines. The Digger Derrick cannot protect you
from phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground contact. Allow for sag, sway, or rocking. Boom tip contains
conductive materials.
Always store and unstore two speed diggers in low speed.
Keep area clear around auger as it is stored or unstored.
If the auger continues to rotate after it reaches the top of the bracket, it is possible
to break the roll-up cable, which could result in serious injury or death.
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD: When the boom is supporting the pole in or near
energized lines, the tamp operator MUST wear suitable insulating gloves, sleeves,
and hard hat. The tool hoses may be reinforced with wire braid and will become
energized if the vehicle becomes electrically charged. Serious injury or death will
result from contact with this equipment or vehicle should it become electrically
charged.
