General Precautions 17
Caution
y Avoid placing the equipment in a place unsuitable for its weight and also make sure the sur-
face is level.
Remember that if the equipment falls over, serious injuries could result.
Weight of the equipment: approx. 70.5 lb.
y Be sure to use the adjusters (safety stopper) to fix the equipment firmly to the floor after mov-
ing/installing it. Make certain that the equipment is steady. If it moves, it could fall over and
injure someone.
y When removing the plug from the outlet, do not pull the power cable. Always hold the plug
when removing it from the outlet. If the power cable is pulled, the wires may become broken
and this could cause a fire or give you an electric shock.
y Make sure that the ventilation holes are not blocked up.
If the temperature within the equipment becomes too high, a fire could result.
y When connecting the interface cable to the equipment, be sure to turn the power OFF. If the
power is not turned off, you could get an electric shock.
Other points
y The socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
y Make sure that there is enough space around the system to facilitate changing of parts,
maintenance and clearing paper jams.
If there is insufficient space, some operations, such as bypass feeding, will become difficult
and the equipment could even break down.
To insure optimal operation, allow clearances of at least 31.5" on the right, and 3.9" on the
left and behind.
y Be sure to fix the power cable securely so that no one trips over it.
y Adverse environmental conditions may affect the safe operation and performance of the
equipment, and the equipment could break down.
- Avoid locations near windows or with exposure to direct sunlight.
- Avoid locations with drastic temperature fluctuations.
- Avoid too much dust.
- Avoid locations that suffer from vibration.
y Make sure that the air is able to flow freely and that there is sufficient ventilation.
With inadequate ventilation, the unpleasant odor released by the ozone will begin to domi-
nate the atmosphere.
