Important Safety Instructions
Battery Connection Warnings
• Multiple battery systems must be comprised of batteries of identical
voltage, age, amp-hour capacity and type.
• Because explosive hydrogen gas can accumulate near batteries
if they are not kept well ventilated, your batteries should not be
installed (whether for a mobile or stationary application) in a "dead
air" compartment. Ideally, any compartment would have some
ventilation to outside air.
• Sparks may result during final battery connection. Always observe
proper polarity as batteries are connected.
• Do not allow objects to contact the two DC input terminals. Do not
short or bridge these terminals together. Serious personal injury and/
or property damage could result.
• Connect the Inverter to the battery with recommended DC fusing
(see Battery Connection), along with properly sized battery cabling.
Ground Connection Warnings
• Safe operation requires connecting the Inverter's main grounding
screw directly to the frame of the vehicle or earth ground.
Equipment Connection Warnings
Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this
equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life
support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is
not recommended.
• You may experience uneven performance results if you connect a
surge protector, line conditioner or UPS system to the modified sine
wave output of the inverter.
