Never touch, climb or play on a pad-mounted transformer. Never put fingers, sticks or other objects through cracks in the transformer.

Keep areas surrounding a pad-mounted transformer clear so that workers can safely maintain transformers as needed. Keep shrubs, trees and other obstructions at least 10 feet away from a transformer.

Always call 8-1-1 before you dig!

Report problems, such as damaged or unlocked transformers, to your local electric cooperative.
