oPlace a "Do Not Turn On" or equivalent hazard label on all power switches and lock them in the non-energized position.

oWait 15 minutes to allow the residual energy of the DC bus capacitors to discharge.

oMeasure the voltage on the DC bus with a properly rated voltage sensing device and verify that the voltage is less than 42.4 Vdc.

oDo not assume that the DC bus is voltage-free when the DC bus LED is off.

oBlock the motor shaft to prevent rotation prior to performing any type of work on the drive system.

oDo not create a short-circuit across the DC bus terminals or the DC bus capacitors.

oReplace and secure all covers, accessories, hardware, cables, and wires and confirm that a proper ground connection exists before applying power to the unit.
