serious damage to the equipment.

ventilation air is necessary to avoid increase of ambient temperature 
which can cause improper operation or the risk of fire. 
 

7.  Power Sources 

This equipment should be operated only from the type of power source 
indicated on the marking label.  If you are not sure of the type of power,

has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or that have 
the same characteristics as the original part.  Unauthorized substitutions 
may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards. 
 

15.  Safety Check
