I-B Warnings
•
Improper operation of this equipment such as
neglecting its maintenance or being careless can
cause possible injury or death. Permit only
responsible and capable persons to install, operate,
and/or maintain this equipment.
•
Potentially lethal voltages and amperages are
present in these machines. Ensure all steps are taken
to render the machine safe before attempting to work
on the equipment.
All hardware covered by this manual have
dangerous electrical voltages and can cause fatal
electrical shock. Avoid contact with bare wires,
terminals, connections, etc., on the hardware, if
applicable. Ensure all appropriate covers, guards,
grounds, and barriers are in place before operating
the equipment. If work must be done around an
operating unit, stand on an insulated dry surface to
reduce shock hazard.
•
Do not handle any kind of electrical device while
standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or
feet are wet. DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK
MAY RESULT.
•
If trained personnel must stand on metal or
concrete while installing, servicing, adjusting, or
repairing this equipment, place insulative mats over
a dry wooden platform. Work on the equipment
only while standing on such insulative mats.
•
Never wear jewelry when working on this
equipment. Jewelry can conduct electricity
resulting in electric shock or may get caught in
moving components causing injury.
Warnings and Cautions -
3
•
Keep a fire extinguisher near the hardware at all
times. Do NOT use any carbon tetra-chloride type
extinguisher. Its fumes are toxic, and the liquid can
deteriorate wiring insulation. Keep the extinguisher
properly charged and be familiar with its use. If there
are any questions pertaining to fire extinguishers,
please consult the local fire department.
•
The National Electrical Code (NEC), Article 250
requires the frame of the equipment to be connected
to an approved earth ground and/or grounding rod.
This grounding will help prevent dangerous electrical
shock that might be caused by a ground fault
condition or by static electricity. Never disconnect the
ground wire.
•
Wire gauge sizes of electrical wiring, cables, and
cord sets must be adequate to handle the maximum
electrical current (ampacity) to which they will be
subjected.
•
Before installing or servicing this (and related)
equipment, make sure that all power voltage supplies
are completely turned off at their source. Failure to
do so will result in hazardous and possibly fatal
electrical shock.
•
In case of accident caused by electric shock,
immediately shut down the source of electrical power.
If this is not possible, attempt to free the victim from the
live conductor. AVOID DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE
VICTIM. Use a nonconducting implement, such as a
dry rope or board, to free the victim from the live
conductor. If the victim is unconscious, apply first aid
and seek immediate medical attention.
