Full printed sticker text

CAUTION

NEVER DIG

Unless you have contacted proper authorities and are fully aware of your surroundings below ground and above the ground.

A before-digging reminder

This design communicates a contact-before-digging and surroundings-awareness message. It does not display an 811 number or logo. Compare the full wording and 3¾ × 4¾-inch dimensions with your equipment's original marking and available space before ordering.

The sticker is not a utility-location marker, excavation permit, or confirmation that a site is cleared for digging. It does not locate buried services or identify overhead hazards, and it does not replace the applicable site-specific utility-location process, job planning, or equipment operating instructions.

Recommended placement

For a cab-operated excavator or backhoe, a practical general location is a visible interior panel beside the digging controls, readable from the operating seat before work begins. For digging equipment operated from an exterior control station, consider a panel beside those controls where the operator can read the reminder before operating.

This is general guidance, not a verified factory location for every machine. Retain the original label position when known and follow the manufacturer's decal-location instructions. Do not cover windows, controls, instruments, identification plates or other warnings. Apply to a suitable clean, dry surface according to the decal application instructions.
