SERVICE

If any problem is encountered with your MINUTEMAN ALLIANCE UPS, contact your supplier or Para Systems customer service department.

Do not remove the UPS cover or attempt any service. There are no user-serviceable components inside. Unauthorized service will void the warranty.

Fuse replacement and breaker reset (A200) are UPS owner responsibilities. Please do no return a unit for service before verifying that that the fuse is good or the breaker is properly set.
