reproduced in any way without the express written approval of Eaton Corporation.
• The system must be properly grounded at all times.
• The battery supplied with the system contains small amounts of toxic materials. To avoid
accidents, observe the following directives:
– Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about
batteries and the required precautions.
– When replacing batteries, replace with the same type and number of batteries or battery
packs.
– Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
– Batteries constitute a danger (electrical shock and burning). The short-circuit current may be
very high.
• Precautions must be taken for all handling. A battery can present a risk of electric shock and high
short circuit current. The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:
– Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
– Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
– Remove battery grounds during installation and maintenance to reduce the likelihood of
shock
– Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove the
source from the ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical
shock. The likelihood of such shock can be reduced if such grounds are removed during
