WARNING: Severe shock and explosion hazard! Touching energized parts can result in

massive equipment damage, and severe injury or death. Short-circuiting energized parts will

result in blinding flash and explosion. Opening and closing electrical circuits can also produce

dangerous and explosive arc flashes. Involuntary muscular reactions associated with electrical

shock may result in other injuries. Observe the following safety guidelines.
