When the deck is moved directly from a
cold to a warm location or when the
temperature is raised suddenly in the
room where the deck is installed,
moisture may condense inside the
mechanism. This will prevent the deck
from operating normally and may result
in damage to the MD or to precision
parts. If condensation occurs, turn on
the deck and leave it for an hour or two
until the moisture evaporates.
