SAFETY SUMMARY
High voltage is used in the operation of
this equipment. Death on contact may
result if personnel fail to observe the
following safety precautions:
· Do not be misled by the term "Low Voltage." Potentials as low as 50 volts may cause death under
adverse conditions.
· Do not crush, puncture, disassemble, or otherwise mutilate batteries. Leaking batteries can cause
serious damage to equipment and injury to personnel.
· Do not remove covers or access plates on the equipment unless you are authorized to do so.
· Do not work on electronic equipment unless there is another person nearby who is familiar with the
operation of the equipment and is trained in administering first aid.
· Whenever possible, disconnect the equipment from the power sour ce before beginning maintenance.
· To prevent electrical shock or damage to the equipment, do not operate it until you thoroughly
understand the operation and function of all controls, indicators, and connectors.
· Turn off all power to the equipment before replacing any fuses.
FIRST AID
In case of electrical shock:
· Do not try t o pull or grab the individual .
· If possible, turn off the electrical power.
· If you cannot tur n off t h e el ect r ical power, pull, push, or l i ft t he p er son to safety us i ng a dry w oode n pol e,
a dry rope, or some other insulating material.
