HIGH VOLTAGE

High voltage is produced when this AGPU is in operation.

the ground stud has been connected to a suitable ground. Disconnect the battery connector before removing and

installing components. Remove all rings, watches, and other jewelry when performing maintenance on this equip-

ment. Do not attempt to service or otherwise make any adjustments, connections, or reconnections of wires or

cables until AGPU is shut-down and completely deenergized. Never connect or disconnect power cables with ac or

dc energized.

DANGEROUS GASES

Batteries generate explosive gas during charging: therefore, utilize extreme caution, do not smoke, or use open

flame in the vicinity of the AGPU when servicing batteries.

Exhaust discharge contains noxious and deadly flames and is very hot. Do not operate AGPU in enclosed areas

unless exhaust discharge is properly vented to the outside. Do not operate under overhangs, helicopter blades, or

trees.

To avoid sparking between filler nozzle and fuel tank, always maintain metal to metal contact between filler nozzle

and fuel tank when filling fuel tank.

Do not smoke or use open flame in the vicinity of the AGPU while refueling.
