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.
Caution
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.
