Safety and Usage Precautions

Batteries are shipped fully charged. Use extreme caution when handling the batteries as they can generate
hazardous short-circuit currents. Remove all jewelry (bracelets, metal-strap watches, etc.) before handling
the batteries.
Solar panels produce DC electricity when exposed to light and can therefore produce an electrical shock or
burn. To render solar panels inoperative, remove them from sunlight or fully cover their front surface with an
opaque material.
Before lifting any heavy or bulky equipment, ensure the load is secured so moving parts do not shift, and that
it can be lifted as far as needed without back strain or loss of grip. Installation may require more than one
person.
Ensure the equipment is not powered during installation and wiring of the system.
Recheck all completed wiring for proper polarity prior to energizing the system.
Changes or modifications to Carmanah equipment not expressly approved by Carmanah could void both the
user's authority to operate the equipment and the warranty.
