4 Introduction
If the equipment must be serviced with the covers removed, observe the
following precautions:
WARNING... Observe the two person rule when working near high voltages. One
person must remain clear of the machine and be prepared to turn it
off in an emergency.
High voltage cables and capacitors can retain a charge even when
power is removed from the system. Avoid touching these unless you
are certain the charge has been removed (shorted to ground). High
energy capacitors in the system should be shorted to ground
through an adequate resistance to avoid potential burn hazards.
The batteries are capable of delivering high currents at high voltage.
They are capable of causing severe burns, injury or death from
electrical shock. Use extreme caution when working on circuits
energized by or located near the batteries.
Use caution when working near the batteries and their connections.
Remove metal rings and watchbands that may inadvertently come in
contact with battery powered circuits. Severe skin burns could result
if such metal articles were shorted across the battery voltage.
Exercise care when shipping batteries whose terminals are exposed.
The terminals should be covered with an insulating material. Do not
pack them in such a manner that their terminals can short together.
The batteries are heavy and special attention must be given to their
packaging.
