OPERATION GUIDELINES
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE FOR REMOVING POLES
(ZONE A ONLY)
Never attempt to loosen and lift poles with the boom extension, rotation or winch. A pole puller must be used
to loosen the pole from the ground. Once the pole has been loosened with the pole puller cylinder then the
lift cylinders can be used to raise the pole carefully. The pole puller cylinder must be used again as many
times as required to loosen the pole. Do not use the pole guide to grab the pole, it is only to guide and aid in
maintaining control. Maintain control of the pole and use caution while lifting items, never lift objects that may
be embedded in the ground, frozen to the ground or fastened to the ground. A sudden release of the load
may cause the boom, load line or load to recoil violently.
The winch and boom on the Digger Derrick must never be used to pull poles or
other objects embedded in the ground. The load imposed is an undetermined force
that can damage the equipment and endanger operators and ground personnel,
causing serious injury or death.
Maintain control of poles and loads at all times. Shifting loads or losing control of
the pole can cause the load line or rigging to fail, resulting in the loss of control of
the load or pole
Do not use boom extension or rotation to loosen an embedded pole. Damage to
the unit, loss of control of the load, or pole breaking may occur.
