Series machine package is equipped with
two safety switches, which will either shut
down, or not allow the machine to start, if
access doors are bridged. The
hood safety
switch
will not allow the machine to start if
the hood is open; the hood must be closed in
order to start the machine. However if the
engine is running, the switch is bypassed,
and the hood may be raised without
detriment to the operating state of the
machine.
1.13 DISPOSING OF MACHINE
FLUIDS
Always dispose of machine
fluids under the guidance of all
applicable local, regional and/
or federal law.
Vanair

encourages recycling when allowed.
For additional information, consult the
container label of the fluid in question.
CAUTION
The machine is not designed to run with
the hood open as standard operating
procedure. The safety switch bypass is
designed to allow for observing machine
components in operating condition.
NOTE
If the front access panel is opened prior to
operation, the machine will crank, but will
not start.
If the front access panel is opened while
the machine is running, the machine will
shut down.
