Remove Protective Touch Guards

You must remove the protective touch guards to access other components inside a product enclosure. This section covers the removal procedure for each of the enclosure types and enclosure widths. Follow the procedures to remove and replace the protective guards.
ATTENTION:
Risk of injury or equipment damage exists.
Hazard of personal injury or equipment damage exists when protective touch guards are removed. Guards help to protect against accidental contact with exposed electrical connections and components. Guards can also provide electrical insulation between components. Remove guards only when access is required. Replace guards promptly. Never operate PowerFlex drive products without all guards in place.
