DANGER—HIGH VOLTAGE
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE CAN CAUSE ELECTRIC SHOCK AND BURNS. TO
AVOID SHOCK HAZARD, DISCONNECT ALL POWER TO THE CONTROLLER,
MOTOR, OR OTHER CONTROL DEVICES BEFORE ANY WORK IS PERFORMED
ON THIS EQUIPMENT. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY, DEATH, OR SUBSTANTIAL PROPERTY DAMAGE.
DO NOT APPLY A DISCONNECT DEVICE ON THE OUTPUT OF THE DS6 SOFT
START CONTROLLER UNLESS A MEANS TO TURN OFF THE DEVICE WHEN
DISCONNECT SWITCH IS OPEN IS UTILIZED. OPENING THE DISCONNECT
WHILE THE SOFT START CONTROLLER IS OPERATING MAY CAUSE A MAL-
FUNCTION. CLOSING THE DISCONNECT SWITCH WHILE THE SOFT START
CONTROLLER IS OPERATING WILL RESULT IN POTENTIAL EQUIPMENT
DAMAGE AND PERSONNEL HAZARD.
