Danger to life from electric shock due to live voltage
High voltages are present inside the Sunny Island. When the enclosure lid is removed, live components can be
touched which can result in death or serious injury due to electric shock.
• Disconnect the Sunny Island from voltage sources (see Section 8, page 40).
