overheating and, in some cases, malfunction or premature damage to solid state devices that
are used in the machines. Special cooling devices may be necessary.
2. Humidity. Relative humidity above 90% may cause the machines electronics or motors to
malfunction or may trip the ground fault interrupter. Corrosion problems may occur on
some metal components. If the relative humidity is below 30% belts and hoses may eventu-
ally develop dry rot.
