•  Regular part replacement: some equipment parts (e.g., electrolytic capacitor) shall be replaced regularly according to their average endurance time. The average time varies 

because of differences between operating environments and usage history, so regular checking is recommended for all users. Contact your dealer for more details. 

•  Improper use or replacement of the battery may result in hazard of explosion. Replace with the same or equivalent type only. Dispose of used batteries according to the
