1.0 WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
The following images are four of the most commonly used safety symbols accompany
the DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION blocks. These blocks of text should be adhered to
entirely. The type of information each indicates is as follows:
This General warning symbol points out important safety
information that, if not followed, could endanger personal safety
and/or the property of others.
This Explosion warning symbol points out potential explosion
hazard.
This Fire warning symbol points out potential fire hazard.
This Electrical warning symbol points out potential electrical
shock hazard.
Improper operation of this equipment such as neglecting its maintenance or
being careless during operation can cause possible injury or death. Permit
only responsible and capable persons to install, operate, and/or maintain this
equipment.
Potentially lethal voltages and amperages are present in these machines. Ensure
all steps are taken to render the machine safe before attempting to work on the
equipment.
ELECTRICAL WARNING
•
All hardware covered by this manual have dangerous electrical voltages and can
cause fatal electrical shock. Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals, connections,
etc. on the hardware, if applicable. Ensure all appropriate covers, guards, grounds,
and barriers are in place before operating the equipment. If work must be done
around an operating unit, stand on an insulated dry surface to reduce shock hazard.
•
Do not handle any kind of electrical device while standing in water, while barefoot, or
while hands or feet are wet. DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY RESULT.
•
If people must stand on metal or concrete while installing, servicing, adjusting, or
repairing this equipment, place insulative mats over a dry wooden platform. Work on
the equipment only while standing on such insulative mats.
•
The National Electrical Code (NEC), Article 250 requires the frame to be connected to
an approved earth ground and/or grounding rods. This grounding will help prevent
dangerous electrical shock that might be caused by a ground fault condition or by
static electricity. Never disconnect the ground wire.
•
Wire gauge sizes of electrical wiring, cables, and cord sets must be adequate to
handle the maximum electrical current (ampacity) to which they will be subjected.
