APPENDIX F<br />

To avoid battery explosions, keep the cells filled with electrolyte, use a flashlight (not an<br />

open flame) to check electrolyte levels, and avoid creating sparks around the battery by<br />

shorting across a battery terminal. Keep lighted smoking materials and flames away from<br />

batteries.<br />

Special precautions must be taken for handling fuel and refueling the drill rig or carrier.<br />

― Only use the type and quality of fuel recommended by the engine manufacturer.<br />

― Refuel in a well-ventilated area.<br />

― Do not fill fuel tanks while the engine is running. Turn off all electrical switches.<br />

― Do not spill fuel on hot surfaces. Clean any spillage before starting an engine.<br />

― Wipe up spilled fuel with cotton rags or cloths - do not use wool or metallic cloth.<br />

― Keep open lights, lighted smoking materials and flames or sparking equipment well away<br />

from the fueling area.<br />

― Turn off heaters in carrier cabs when refueling the carrier or the drill rig.<br />

― To allow for expansion of the fuel during temperature changes, do not fill portable fuel<br />

containers completely full.<br />

― Keep the fuel nozzle in contact with the tank being filled to prevent static sparks from<br />

igniting the fuel.<br />

― Do not transport portable fuel containers in the vehicle or carrier cab with personnel.<br />

― Fuel containers and hoses shall remain in contact with a metal surface during travel to<br />

prevent the buildup of static charge.<br />

4.5.9.15 Drill Rig Utilization and Alterations<br />

Do not attempt to exceed manufacturer's ratings of speed, force, torque, pressure, flow, etc. Only use the<br />

drill rig and tools for the purposes which they are intended and designed.<br />

Alterations to a drill rig or drilling tools shall only be made by qualified personnel and only after<br />

consultation with the manufacturer.<br />

4.5.10 Overhead Electrical Hazards<br />

Overhead power lines may present a hazard to equipment and personnel. To prevent equipment contact<br />

with power lines and to prevent arcing, adequate clearance must be maintained. For lines rated 50<br />

kilovolt (kV) or below, the minimum clearance between the lines and any part of the crane or load will be<br />

10 ft. For lines rated more than 50 kV, the minimum clearance between the lines and any part of the<br />

crane or load will be 10 ft plus 0.4 inch for each kV more than 50 kV.<br />
