Contact with Power Lines

If the Sidelifter or load contacts power lines, the relevant electricity distributor must be notified immediately. The Sidelifter operator must warn other personnel not to touch any part of the Sidelifter or load and if possible without anyone approaching operate the Sidelifter to break contact.

When unable to move or untangle the Sidelifter from the power line, no further action must be taken until the power is isolated and conditions are confirmed safe.

When a Sidelifter has been in contact with a power line, it must be checked by a suitably competent person and must not be returned into service until all recommended repairs have been completed.
