What does the green boat symbolise
Pressure release symbol
what does the pressure release symbol represent (greenboat) when jacking
ground pressure has been achieved on all jacks and hydraulic control has been transferred to the turn table.
Why do the ground plates need to be used in the criss cross manner
if the ladder strikes a power line then the plant will be earthed
