This is gramatically correct in some languages with double negatives, such as Czech.

Yeah, but that's not Czech written there...?

Could have been a dumb translation from one of such languages... like on this piece of military equipment made in the Czech Republic

I mean, it's grammatically correct right as is. Do not what? never switch off. Ie, you gotta turn it off once in a while. Sounds like most of the piece of shit leaky software I have under my responsability right now...

Seems to be a general feature of Slavic languages.

Although it would prolly be "never do not"

Czech has nearly free word order. You can put "nikdy", "nevypínejte" and "server" in any order, depends on context and what is emphasized but this one is indeed preferred.
