SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Do not open the equipment.

Only qualified personnel
should work inside the
equipment.

Immediately turn off the power at the
switchboard if water leaks into the
equipment or something is dropped in
the equipment.

Continued use of the equipment can cause
fire or electrical shock. Contact a FURUNO
agent for service.

Do not disassemble or modify the
equipment.

Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can
result.

Do not place liquid-filled containers on
the top of the equipment.

Fire or electrical shock can result if a liquid
spills into the equipment.

Immediately turn off the power at the
switchboard if the equipment is emitting
smoke or fire.

Continued use of the equipment can cause
fire or electrical shock. Contact a FURUNO
agent for service.

Make sure no rain or water splash leaks
into the equipment.

Fire or electrical shock can result if water
leaks in the equipment.

WARNING

Keep heater away from equipment.

A heater can melt the equipment’s power
cord, which can cause fire or electrical
shock.

Use the proper fuse.
