Section 3: Safety - Taylor 358 Operator's Manual

Section 3
We at Taylor Company are concerned about the safety of
the operator when he or she comes in contact with the
freezer and its parts. Taylor has gone to extreme efforts
to design and manufacture built-in safety features to
protect both the operator and service technician. As an
example, warning labels have been attached to the
freezer to further point out safety precautions to the
operator.
DANGER! Failure to adhere to the following
safety precautions may result in severe personal injury or
death. Failure to comply with these warnings may also
damage the machine and/or its components. Such
damage may require component replacement and
service repair expenses.
NOTICE! DO NOT operate this machine
without reading this entire manual first. Failure to follow
all of these operating instructions may result in damage
to the machine, poor performance, health hazards, or
personal injury.
IMPORTANT! This machine is to be used only
by trained personnel. It is not intended for use, cleaning,
or maintenance by children or people with reduced
physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless given supervision or
instruction concerning the use of the machine by a
person responsible for their safety. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
machine.
IMPORTANT! An equipotential grounding lug is
provided with this machine. Some countries require the
grounding lug to be properly attached to the rear of the
frame by the authorized installer. The installation location
is marked by the equipotential bonding symbol (5021 of
IEC 60417-1) on both the removable panel and the
machine's frame.
Safety
WARNING! Avoid injury.
• DO NOT operate the machine unless it is
properly grounded.
• DO NOT operate the machine with fuses larger
than specified on the machine's data label.
• All repairs should be performed by an
authorized Taylor service technician.
• The main power supplies to the machine must
be disconnected prior to performing installation,
repairs, or maintenance.
• For Cord-Connected Machines: Only Taylor
service technicians or licensed electricians may
install a plug or replacement cord on the
machine.
• Machines that are permanently connected to
fixed wiring and for which leakage currents may
exceed 10 mA, particularly when disconnected
or not used for long periods, or during initial
installation, shall have protective devices to
protect against the leakage of current, such as a
GFI, installed by the authorized personnel to
local codes.
• Stationary machines that are not equipped with
a power cord and a plug or another device to
disconnect the appliance from the power source
must have an all-pole disconnecting device with
a contact gap of at least 0.125 in. (3 mm) in the
external installation.
• Supply cords used with this machine shall be
oil-resistant, sheathed flexible cable not lighter
than ordinary polychloroprene or other
equivalent synthetic elastomer-sheathed cord
(code designation 60245 IEC 57) installed with
the proper cord anchorage to relieve conductors
from strain, including twisting, at the terminals
and protect the insulation of the conductors from
abrasion.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, service agent, or
a similarly qualified person to avoid a hazard.
• Secure supply cord ground lead to machine in a
location where if the cord is pulled the main
power leads become taut before the ground
lead can break loose.
