IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of

concentrated power, is potentially hazardous. The degree of hazard can
be greatly reduced by proper design, selection, installation, and use but all
hazards cannot be completely eliminated. The reduction of hazards is a joint
responsibility between the user, the manufacturer of the driven or driving
equipment and the manufacturer of the control or motor.
The user should refer to Publication No. ANSI C5.1/NEMA MG 2.
