5.2 PREVENTIVE
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
This device
is designed to be maintenance-free. It can be cleaned with a damp cloth or
nonabrasive cleanser.
WARNING:
Do not use ACETONE-BASE cleaning solutions. Keep cleaning solutions out
of the electrical receptacles on this device.
Be sure filters, vents and fans are kept free from accumulation of dust, dirt or lint. Below
(see Table 11) is a simple maintenance schedule that will
assist you in keeping the
system at its peak level of performance and also minimizing potential premature failures.
BATTERIES
Your system contains sealed maintenance-free batteries. When situated in the proper
environment, with the proper charging and limited cycling, these batteries can last many
years.
Battery replacement should be performed or supervised by personnel familiar with the
dangers of batteries and the required precautions. DO NOT permit untrained or
unauthorized personnel to replace or service batteries.
WARNING:
Never attempt to service batteries. Servicing of batteries should be performed
or supervised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep
unauthorized personnel away from batteries. When replacing batteries, use the same
number and type batteries.
CAUTION:
Do not dispose of battery or batteries in a fire. The battery may explode.
CAUTION:
Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful
to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.
CAUTION
: A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current.
The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:
1. Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
2. Use tools with insulated handles.
3. Wear rubber gloves and boots.
4. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
5. Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery
terminals.
6. Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove
source of ground. Contact with any part of a
grounded battery can result in
electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock will be
reduced if such grounds
are removed during installation and maintenance.
