Internal Storage
See Figure 2-5 . The interior of the cabinet can be used
for storing nonflammable items such as shore power
cords, small equipment, or tools when the unit is not in
operation. Locking doors (A) on each side of the cabinet
provide access to the cabinet interior.
NOTE: Cabinet is not waterproof.

The LED drivers are mounted inside the cabinet behind a
heat guard at the back of the unit (control panel end). The
drivers become very hot during operation. Use care when
adding or removing items from internal storage, and
avoid touching the heat guard. Verify heat guard vents
are clear of obstructions.
