Intended Use
The 410sx is an articulating, hydrostatic, four-wheel drive, pedestrian vibratory plow designed to bury cable or pipe in a variety of soils. An optional trenching attachment, drilling attachment, and reel carrier are available. The 410sx is powered by a liquid-cooled 49.6 hp (37.0 kW) four-cylinder Kubota gasoline engine.
The unit is designed for operation in temperatures typically experienced in excavation and construction work environments. Provisions may be required to operate in extreme temperatures. Contact your Ditch Witch dealer. Use in any other way is considered contrary to the intended use.
The H400 trencher should be used with genuine Ditch Witch chain, teeth, and sprockets. The 410sx should be operated, serviced, and repaired only by persons familiar with its particular characteristics and acquainted with the relevant safety procedures.

Guidelines
Follow these guidelines before operating any jobsite equipment:
•Complete proper training and read operator’s manual before using equipment.
•Contact your local One-Call (811 in USA) or the One-Call referral number (888-258-0808 in USA and Canada) to have underground utilities located before digging. Also contact any utilities that do not participate in the One-Call service. Mark proposed path with white paint prior to contacting One-Call or utilities.
•Classify jobsite based on its hazards and use correct tools and machinery, safety equipment, and work methods for jobsite.
•Mark jobsite clearly and keep spectators away.
•Wear personal protective equipment.
•Review jobsite hazards, safety and emergency procedures, and individual responsibilities with all personnel before work begins. Safety videos are available from your Ditch Witch® dealer.
•Replace missing or damaged safety shields and safety signs.
•Use equipment carefully. Stop operation and investigate anything that does not look or feel right.
•Do not operate unit where flammable gas may be present.
•Contact your Ditch Witch dealer if you have any question about operation, maintenance, or equipment use.
•Complete the equipment checklist located at www.ditchwitch.com/resources/safety.

JT100 Operator’s Manual
Emergency Procedures
Safety - 13
Jobsite hazards could cause death or serious injury. Use correct equipment and work methods. Use and maintain proper safety equipment.
Before operating any equipment, review emergency procedures and check that all safety precautions have been taken.
EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN - Turn ignition switch to stop position or push remote engine stop button (if equipped).
Electric shock. Contacting electric lines will cause death or serious injury. Know location of lines and stay away.
When working near electric cables, remember the following:
•Electricity follows all paths to ground, not just path of least resistance.
•Pipes, hoses, and cables will conduct electricity back to all equipment.
•Low voltage current can injure or kill. Many work-related electrocutions result from contact with less than 440 volts.
Most electric strikes are not noticeable, but indications of a strike include:
•power outage
•smoke
•explosion
•popping noises
•arcing electricity
If any of these occur, or if strike alarm sounds or flashes, assume an electric strike has occurred.

•Warn people nearby that an electric strike has occurred.
•Have someone contact electric company.
•Reverse drilling direction and try to break contact. Do not touch drill pipe with hands or hand-held tools.
•Press electric strike system self test button.
•If alarm sounds again, stay where you are and wait for electric company to shut off power.
•If alarm does not sound and there is no other indication of a strike, wait at least one full minute before moving away from equipment. Utility might use automatic reclosers which will restart current flow. If alarm sounds again while waiting, stay where you are until electric company shuts off power.
•If alarm does not sound but all lights in strike indicator are on, assume strike is continuing and stay where you are until electric company shuts off power.
•Do not resume drilling or allow anyone into area until given permission by electric company.
If you suspect an electric line has been damaged and you are off drilling unit or bonded equipment, DO NOT TOUCH ANY EQUIPMENT connected to drilling unit. Take the following actions. The order and degree of action will depend on the situation.
•Stay where you are unless you are wearing electric insulating boots. If you leave, do not return to area or allow anyone into area until given permission by electric company.
