ATTENTION INSTALLING PERSONNEL

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 specific 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 conflict between existing practices and the content of

this manual, the precautions listed here take precedence.
