risk or condion requiring special aenon.

The user needs to refer to the important operang

and maintenance or servicing instrucons.

Cauon

The lighng ash with an arrow head symbol, in an

equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user.

Safety Precauons

• Do not touch live electrical parts.

Electric shock can be avoided. Follow the recommended pracces listed below. Faulty installaon, improper

• Always ground all electrical equipment and the work plaorm.

Prevent accidental electrical shocks. Connect power source, control cabinets, and work plaorm to an approved

electrical ground.

Sustained overloading will cause cable failure and result in possible electrical shock or re hazard. Work cable

should be the same rang as the factory.

• Always keep cables and connectors in good condion.

Improper or worn electrical connecons can cause short circuits and can increase the chance of an electrical shock.

Do not use worn, damaged, or bare cables.

• Always avoid open-circuit voltage.

The added voltages increase the severity of electric shock hazard.

• Always wear insulated gloves while you adjust equipment.

Electric power should be turned o and insulated gloves should be worn when making any equipment adjustment

to assure shock protecon.

• Always wear protecve clothing such as long sleeve shorts while you are installing or removing equipment.

• Always wear high, snug ng shoes.

• Always wear clean clothes without grease or oil.

• Protect neighboring workers from exposure to arc radiaon.

• Always wear long trousers or jeans while you are installing or removing equipment.

• Always wear safety helmet or hard head and safety shoes before work.

• Always keep the equipment in dry places.

• Always wear safety harnesses/belt while you work in high places.

• Always wear dry clothing and avoid moisture and water.

• Always wear Public Safety Vest, while you work at night.

• Make sure all electrical connecons are ght, clean, and dry.

• Make sure that you are well insulated to eliminate electric stac charge.

• Always wear dry gloves, rubber-soled shoes, or stand on a dry board or plaorm.

• Always follow recognized safety standards.

• Always wear correct eye, ear, and body protecon.

• Always have second person on-site, while you work in dark, poor venlaon, or high places.

• Make sure that you are well protected against arc ashes, mechanical injury, or other mishaps.

• Make sure that the polarity of wire is correct before installing equipment.

• Always handle equipment with care.

• Do not block the venlaon of equipment.

• Do not put the magnec parts around the equipment.
