Emergency Procedures
Emergency Procedures
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.
Electric Strike Description
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, assume an electric strike has occurred.

CMW
Prepare - 32 P80/PP25 Operator’s Manual
Plan Bore Path
Plan Bore Path
Plan the bore path, from entry to end, before job begins. Locate the entire route of the material to be
installed to ensure a straight path. For complicated bores, consult an engineer. Have jobsite surveyed and
bore path calculated. Expose all crossing or parallel utilities within 18” (500 mm) of the material being
installed.
Mark Bore Path
Mark your planned bore path with flags or paint.
Select Start and End Points
Select one end of the jobsite to use as a starting point. If trench box is used, it can be placed in middle of
bore path and rod can be pushed or pulled both directions, then joined.
Consider the following when selecting a starting point:
• Slope. consider how slope will affect boring unit set-up and bending rod.
• Traffic. Vehicle and pedestrian traffic must be at a safe distance from equipment. Allow at least 10 ft (3
m) buffer zone around equipment.
• Space. Check that starting and eding points allow enough space for gradual rod bending.
• Comfort. Consider shade, wind, fumes, and other site features.

Prepare Jobsite
Prepare Jobsite
Jobsite hazards could cause death or serious injury. Use
correct equipment and work methods. Use and maintain proper safety
equipment.
NOTICE:
• Cutting high voltage cable can cause electrocution. Expose lines by hand before digging.
• All vegetation near operator’s station must be removed. Contact with trees, shrubs, or weeds during
electrical strike could result in electrocution.
Dig Installation Pit
Launch rod deep enough to prevent soil mounding. As a general rule, allow one foot of depth for every
inch of rod diameter.
If a trench box is used, depth is limited by soil type according to the US Department of Labor Regulations,
Part 1926, Subpart P. This document is available from the US Government Printing Office, 202-783-3238.
Soil Type Maximum Depth
A 18 ft (5.5 m)
B 10 ft (3.0 m)
C 5 ft (1.7 m)
Installation Pit:
• Must be in line with bore path. For bore to be successful, first rod must be straight.
• Sloped back end aids new product installation. Consider new product bend radius.
• To prevent bending or straining rod, position rod pusher for straight entry.
