get wet, workers may be hurt by electrical shock. The electrical parts may fail
if they are wet.
• The electric motor on the remote power unit can create sparks. Do not install
the power unit in an area where flammable gases may be present.

lowers. If you allow the line to be pinched, the unit may not work properly. A
hose may break, the load enclosure may drop suddenly, and someone may be
