ELECTRICAL HIGH VOLTAGE CAN KILL YOU
Electrical high voltage cannot be seen but it can kill you.
Electricity is unlike most other dangerous things you can come
in contact with because it gives no warning and no symptoms
to be wary of. Its effect is immediate. It can kill you, render you
unconscious, or severely burn you. To ensure your safety and
that of other maintenance personnel, always observe the
following precautions:
ALWAYS make sure the unit is properly grounded.
Take extreme care to prevent injury to fingers or hands when
driving the ground rods. Do not place hands between the ram
and drive collar. Gloves should be worn. Be sure all
connections are tight so as to avoid a possible spark between
the units and ground rod.
ab. When the first rod coupler is approximately 6 inches above ground, remove the driving bolt. Screw
anew length of ground rod into the one already in the ground and drive it in as with the first section. Continue this
process until there are 8 feet of rod in the ground.
When done driving the ground rod, connect the rod sticking out of the earth to the GROUND lug located
on the ROWPU frame immediately below the ROWPU electrical cable connections. Use the ground strap
provided.
