SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following are general safety precautions that are
not necessarily related to any specific part or proce-
dure and do not necessarily appear elsewhere in this
publication.
Keep Away From Live Circuits
Operating personnel must at all times observe normal
safety regulations. Do not attempt to replace parts or
disconnect an RF transmission or any other high
voltage line while power is applied. When working
with high voltage always have someone present who
is capable of rendering aid if necessary. Personnel
working with or near high voltage should be familiar
with modern methods of resuscitation.
Warning
Warning notes call attention to a procedure, which if
not correctly performed could result in personal in-
jury.
Caution
Caution notes call attention to a procedure, which if
not correctly performed could result in damage to the
instrument.
The following will appear in the text of this publication
and are shown here for emphasis.
Warning
Before placing the unit into operation, remove the
shipping plug at the top of radiator, near front, sub-
stitute with the specially shielded breather plug. Use
a 3/4 inch flat wrench for this purpose - do not lose
the O-Ring seal. This vent hole must remain open at
all times when the unit is in operation or cooling.
Failure to do this could result in damage to the
equipment and endanger the operator’s safety. The
use of the vent plug also protects the filler opening
against intrusion of foreign material while allowing
unobstructed venting of the tank. The shipping plug
(with O-Ring seal) should be put back in place
whenever the unit is to be transported. Be sure to
check this plug.
Warning
Never attempt to disconnect RF equipment from a
transmission line while RF power is being applied.
Leaking RF energy is a potential health hazard.
Warning
Provide adequate ventilation and observe normal
precautions when using dry cleaning solvents. Many
dry cleaning agents emit toxic fumes that may be
harmful to your health if inhaled.
