WARNING!
Be sure to turn the power off at the main switchboard before starting the
installation. Further, it is highly recommended that you post a notice by
this switch telling others to keep power off while you’re performing the
installation. If power is left on or turned on during the installation, then fire,
electrical shock, or other serious injury may occur.
CAUTION!
Be sure to ground the equipment in order to prevent electrical shock and
mutual interference.
Be sure that the voltage of the power supply is compatible with the unit’s
voltage rating, which can be found on the label at the rear of the unit. Con-
necting to the wrong power supply can result in fire or damage to the
equipment.
Be sure to use the proper fuse. Using the incorrect fuse can result in fire or
damage to the unit.
Keep the following safe compass distance from the unit: 1.0m standard,
0.8m steering.
Be sure that the 951/952 doesn’t interfere with any of the on-board sys-
tems. Check all other systems to ensure that their performance doesn’t
degrade when the unit is turned on.
