SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Good safety practices must be used when working on burner equipment. The potential energy in the electrical supply, fuel and related equipment must be handled with extreme care to prevent equipment failures, injuries and potential death. Throughout this manual, the following symbols are used to identify potential problems. WARNING This indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not avoided, could result in personal injury or death.
