General safety guidelines
Before starting maintenance:
• Maintenance must be performed by trained and qualified engineers only.
• The safety guidelines and procedures in this manual must be read and
followed.
• In this manual and on the storage system, hazard warnings are provided
to aid you in preventing or reducing the risk of death, personal injury, or
product damage. Understand and follow these hazard warnings fully.
• If the warning labels on the storage system become dirty or start peeling
off, replace them.
• If an anomaly such as an unusual noise, smell, or smoke occurs on the
storage system while it is running, turn off the system or remove the
power cables immediately.
• Hazard warnings in this manual or on the storage system cannot cover
every possible case, because it is impossible to predict and evaluate all
circumstances beforehand. Be alert and use common sense.
• To verify normal operation, operate the storage system according to the
information in this manual.
Read the following safety guidelines carefully and follow them when you
conduct maintenance of the machine:
• Do not use materials that are outside the specifications for the storage
system.
• Use the spare parts, consumables, and materials for maintenance that are
specified in this manual; otherwise, personal injury, system damage, and
degradation in system quality can occur.
• Keep the maintenance area neat.
• Always put away parts, materials, and tools when not in use.
Handling of heavy parts
• When lifting a heavy object, hold it close to yourself and keep your back
erect to prevent back injury.
• When lifting an object designated with a caution in this manual, use a
proper lifting tool or ask someone to assist you.
Preventing electric shock
• Before starting work, be sure that, unless otherwise specifically instructed,
there is no potential electric hazard in the maintenance area such as
insufficient grounding or a wet floor.
• Before starting work, know where the emergency off switches are located
and know how to operate them.
