IMPORTANT BATTERY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Wear eye protection (safety glasses) when working with batteries.
• Remove all jewelry such as rings, watches, bracelets, etc., when
installing or performing maintenance on the batteries.
• Never work alone. Always have someone near you when working
around batteries.
• Use proper lifting techniques when working with batteries.
• Never use old or untested batteries. Check each battery's label
for age, type, and date code to ensure all batteries are identical.
• Batteries are sensitive to changes in temperature. Always install
batteries in a stable environment.

explosive gasses. For compartment or enclosure installations,
always vent batteries to the outside.
• Provide at least one inch (2.5 cm) of air space between batteries
to provide optimum cooling.
• Never smoke when in the vicinity of batteries.
• To prevent a spark at the battery and to reduce the chance of
explosion, always connect the cables to the batteries fi rst. Then
connect the cables to the inverter.
• Use insulated tools at all times.
• Always verify proper polarity and voltage before connecting the
batteries to the inverter.
• To reduce the chance of fi re or explosion, do not short-circuit
the batteries.
• In the event of accidental exposure to battery acid, wash
thoroughly with soap and water. In the event of exposure to the
eyes, fl ood them for at least 15 minutes with running water and
seek immediate medical attention.
