Warning
Fire Hazard For continued protection against fire hazard, replace fuses only with fuses of the
same type and rating as the original fuse.
Electric Shock Hazard To allow stored energy to dissipate after power is disconnected, wait at
least five minutes before replacing parts.
Precaution
The generator contains electrostatic-sensitive components. When repairing the generator, work at
a static-control workstation. Wear a grounding strap when handling electrostatic-sensitive
components, except when working on an energized generator. Handle circuit boards by their
nonconductive edges. Use an antistatic container for transport of electrostatic-sensitive
components and circuit boards.
