product performance.
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the
product box for product warnings and other important

damage caused by fire or overheating, the appropriate fuse
must be in place as indicated in the product specifications. In
addition, connecting the power cable without the appropriate
fuse in place voids the product warranty.
To avoid possible personal injury, always wear safety goggles,
ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or
sanding.
To avoid possible personal injury or damage to the device and
vessel, disconnect the vessel's power supply before beginning
to install the device.
To avoid possible personal injury or damage to the device or
vessel, before applying power to the device, make sure that it
has been properly grounded, following the instructions in the
guide.
For the best possible performance, the device must be installed
according to these instructions.
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite
side of the surface to avoid damaging the vessel.
