You should consider the location of the bin site relative to power line locations or electrical
transmission equipment. We recommend you contact your local power company to review your
installation plan or for information concerning required equipment clearance. Clearance of
portable equipment that may be taken to the bin site should be reviewed and considered as well.
Any electrical control equipment in contact with the bin should be properly grounded and
installed in accordance with National Electric Code provisions and other local or national codes.
