3.02 Site Selection
Select a clean, dry location with good ventilation and ad-
equate working space around all components.
Review Important Safety Precautions (Section 1) to be sure
that the selected location meets all safety requirements.
The power supply is fan cooled by air flow through the
side panel to the front and rear panels. Air flow must not
be obstructed. Provide at least 2 feet (61 cm) in the rear
and at least 6 inches (152 mm) on each side for clearance.
Provide a minimum of 6 inches (or 152 mm) clearance in
front of the unit to allow access to the front panel con-
trols.
CAUTION
Operation without proper air flow will inhibit
proper cooling and reduce duty cycle.
3.03 Unpacking

age during shipping.
1. Unpack each item and remove any packing material.
