Removal, Cleaning and Replacement of the Cooling Air Filter
Powermax900 systems are normally shipped without air filters. If your Powermax900 has the air filter
option, the filter will need periodic cleaning. Excessively dirty or dusty environments can block the
cooling air filter (if installed) and cause the power supply to overheat and shut down.
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD: Always turn off power, unplug cord from wall and wait 5 minutes before
removing any power supply cover. If power supply is directly connected to a line
disconnect switch, place line disconnect switch to OFF position. In the U.S., use a "lock-out /
tag-out" procedure until the service or maintenance work is complete. In other countries,
follow appropriate local or national safety procedures.
