These UPS units are intended for use in a temperature-controlled, indoor area free of conductive contaminants. Select a location, which will provide good air circulation for the UPS at all, times. Avoid locations near heating devices, water or excessive humidity, or where unit is exposed to direct sunlight. Route power cords so they cannot be walked on or damaged.

CAUTION -- The UPS uses batteries for generating AC voltages, so output receptacles may be electrically hot even when the UPS is not connected to commercial power. Trained service personnel should perform all repairs, since an electrical shock hazard exists.

CAUTION -- Do not remove the cover -- there are no user-serviceable parts inside.

CAUTION -- To prevent electrical shock, the 3-wire plug provides earth ground for the UPS chassis. Plug the UPS into a 3-wire grounding type, commercial receptacle with the grounding conductor connected to earth ground at the service equipment. Removal of the ground pin from the plug or use of a 3-wire-to-2-wire adapter will defeat this safety feature and may result in a shock hazard. Additionally, if the plug is removed to simulate a power failure (not recommended), do not touch the plug conductors or the chassis while the plug is removed. On 120-volt models, improperly connected power will indicate a Site Wiring Fault.

CAUTION -- Do not allow water or any foreign object to enter the UPS. In case this occurs, immediately turn the unit power switch off and unplug the MINUTEMAN from the commercial receptacle.

Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from the batteries.

When replacing UPS batteries, use the same number of sealed lead-calcium rechargeable batteries with the same voltage and ampere-hour ratings as those in the UPS. These batteries have pressure operated safety vents.

CAUTION -- Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode.

CAUTION -- Do not open or mutilate batteries. Release electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes and may be toxic.

CAUTION -- Although battery system voltages are only 12 VDC, 24 VDC and 36 VDC, the battery system can still present a risk. The current capability of a battery is sufficient to burn wire or tools very rapidly, producing molten metal. Observe these precautions when working on batteries:

1.Turn the UPS off and disconnect it form the wall outlet prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals;

2.Remove watches, rings or other metal objects;

3.Use tools with insulated handles;

4.Wear protective gloves and eyewear;

5.Do not lay tools or other metal parts on top of batteries.
