The drive is a high-voltage device that can cause serious injury if proper precautions are not made. The electrical energy can cause electrical burns and shock and the powerful moving parts can cause injury to individuals in the surrounding area. For that reason the individuals that service and maintain the drive must have some basic awareness about the dangers posed by the drive and how to prevent problems.

First, before starting to handle the drive or any components inside the drive, inspect the surrounding area. Make there is no moisture on the floor or oil or grease. The water is a conductor of electricity and can cause serious injury. Before starting, clean up any moisture and allow the floor to dry completely. If moisture is a continuing problem dehumidifiers might be needed at the site to prevent condensation from forming. Use detergents to clean the floor of oil and grease. Also remove any ungrounded power cords because of the hazard they present.

Always be aware that the drive might have multiple sources of power connected to it and that you must check for the presence of power in the drive before you touch any components.
