As a professional installer, you have an obligation to know
the product better than the customer. This includes all
safety precautions and related items.
Prior to actual installation, thoroughly familiarize yourself
with this Instruction Manual. Pay special attention to all safety
warnings. Often during installation or repair, it is possible to
place yourself in a position which is more hazardous than
when the unit is in operation.
Remember, it is your responsibility to install the product
safely and to know it well enough to be able to instruct a
customer in its safe use.
Safety is a matter of common sense...a matter of thinking
before acting. Most dealers have a list of specic good
safety practices...follow them.
The precautions listed in this Installation Manual are intended
as supplemental to existing practices. However, if there is a
direct conict between existing practices and the content of
this manual, the precautions listed here take precedence.
