blocks. 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 property of others.
This Explosion warning symbol points out potential explosion
hazard(s).
This Fire warning symbol points out potential fire hazard(s).
This Electrical warning symbol points out potential electrical
shock hazard(s).
Improper operation of this equipment such as neglecting its maintenance or
being careless 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 trained personnel 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 of the equipment
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.
