6. MAINTENANCE, TROUBLE­SHOOTING

This chapter has information about maintenance and troubleshooting that the user
can follow to care for the equipment.

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Do not open the equipment.

Only qualified personnel can work
inside the equipment.

Turn off the power before you
service the antenna unit. Post
a warning sign near the power
switch not to turn on the power
while you service the antenna
unit.

Prevent the potential risk of being
struck by the rotating antenna and
exposure to RF radiation hazard.

When you work on the antenna
unit, wear a safety belt and hard
hat.

Serious injury or death can result
if a person falls from the radar
antenna mast.

NOTICE

Do not apply paint, anti-corrosive sealant
or contact spray to plastic parts or
equipment coating.

Those items contain products that can
damage plastic parts and equipment coating.
