
Do not install or operate the inverter if it is damaged or any component is missing.
This can result in electric shock or fire. Call your Toshiba distributor for repairs.
Mandatory
action

Mount the inverter on a metal plate.
The rear panel gets very hot. Do not install in an inflammable object, this can result in fire.

Do not operate with the front panel cover removed.
This can result in electric shock.

An emergency stop device must be installed that fits with system specifications (e.g. shut off input
power then engage mechanical brake).
Operation cannot be stopped immediately by the inverter alone, thus risking an accident or injury.

All options used must be those specified by Toshiba.
The use of any other option may result in an accident.
Caution
Mandatory
action

The main unit must be installed on a base that can bear the unit's weight.
If the unit is installed on a base that cannot withstand that weight, the unit may fall resulting in injury.

If braking is necessary (to hold motor shaft), install a mechanical brake.
The brake on the inverter will not function as a mechanical hold, and if used for that purpose, injury
may result.
