Throughout this publication, and on tags and decals affixed to the inverter, DANGER, WARNING,
CAUTION and NOTE blocks are used to alert personnel to special instructions about a particular

Their definitions are as follows:

AVOIDED, WILL RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

result in death or serious injury.

These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards that they indicate. Common sense and
strict compliance with the special instructions while performing the action or service are
essential to preventing accidents.
