WARNING
Always wear double hearing protection, safety glasses, hard hat, gloves, and steel
toe shoes during operation of the Water Well Drilling System. Failure to comply
may result in injury or death to personnel. Seek medical attention in the event of an
injury.

entrance. Power lines are dangerous and contain high voltages that can cause
electrocution and severe burns. Call the utility company to have the power lines
raised or de-energized. Only move the drilling rig with the derrick in its lowered
position. Failure to comply may result in injury or death to personnel. Seek medical
attention in the event of an injury.
