4.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap
and water. If acid enters your eye, immediately flood it with running
cold water for at least twenty minutes and get medical attention
immediately.
5.
Use extra caution to reduce the risk or dropping a metal tool on the
battery. It could spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical
parts and could cause an explosion.
6.
Batteries can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring
or metal bracelet or the like to the battery terminal, causing a severe
burn.
Precautions When Preparing to Charge
EXPOSURE TO CHEMICALS AND GASES HAZARD
• Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.
• Make sure the voltage of the batteries matches the output voltage of
the inverter/charger.
• Be careful to keep corrosion from coming into contact with your eyes
and skin when cleaning battery terminals.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
NOTES:
•
Study and follow all of the battery manufacturer's specific precautions, such
as removing or not removing cell caps while charging, whether equalization
is acceptable for your battery, and recommended rates of charge.

•
For flooded non-sealed batteries, add distilled water in each cell until
battery acid reaches the level specified by the battery manufacturer.
This helps to purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a
battery without removable cell caps, carefully follow manufacturer's
instructions.
Precautions When Placing the Inverter/Charger
RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE INVERTER/CHARGER
• Never allow battery acid to drip on the inverter/charger when reading
gravity, or filling battery.
• Never place the Freedom SW 230V Inverter/Charger unit directly
above batteries; gases from a battery will corrode and damage the
inverter/charger.
• Do not place a battery on top of the inverter/charger.
Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and/or damage
other equipment.
