Proper Installation - Operate system components only
after they are properly installed.
NoUnauthorizedModications- Do not modify your
system in any way unless authorized to do so by Dukane
Corporation. Unauthorized modications could cause
equipment damage and/or injury to the operator. In ad-
dition, unauthorized modications will void equipment
warranty.

each operator station when ultrasonic plastic assembly
equipment is used with automatic material handling equip-
ment in an automated system.
Foot Switch - Using a foot switch in place of the optical
touch nger switches (activation switches) violates OSHA
regulations.
