IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS — This manual contains important safety and operating instructions
for the converter.
ALL CONVERTERS
1) CAUTION — To reduce risk of injury, charge only lead acid or sealed gel cell type
rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and
damage.
2) Do not expose converter to rain or snow.
3) Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the converter manufacturer may
result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
4) Do not disassemble converter; take it to a qualified serviceman when service or repair
is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
5) To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect converter from batteries or other DC supply
before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this
risk.
