Periodic Maintenance of Parts
In order to keep the Inverter operating normally over a long time, and to prevent down time due to an unex-
pected failure, it is necessary to perform periodic inspections and replace parts according to their service life.
The data indicated in the following table is to be used as a general guideline only. Periodic inspection stan-
dards vary depending on the Inverter's installation environment conditions and usage. The Inverter's sug-
gested maintenance periods are noted below.
