Inverter Safety Instructions
WARNING: Power inverters produce hazardous voltages. To avoid risk of harm or fire, the unit must be
properly installed.
WARNING: There are no user serviceable parts inside. Do not remove the cover.
WARNING: Power inverters should not be mounted in a location that may be exposed to rain, spray, salt, or
corrosive chemicals.
WARNING: Power inverters should not be installed in a zero-clearance enclosure.
WARNING: Damage to the power inverter will occur if correct polarity is not observed when installing the
inverter's DC input cables.
WARNING: Damage to the power inverter will occur if an external AC power source is applied to the inverter's
AC hardwire output.
WARNING: Power inverters contain a circuit breaker and capacitor that may produce a spark upon connection
or during normal operation. Do not mount in a confined battery or gas compartment where toxic fuel vapor is
present.
WARNING: Be sure the power inverter is turned off and AC power is disconnected when batteries are being
connected, disconnected, serviced, and replaced or personal injury and/or damage to the inverter could result.
WARNING: Working near lead-acid batteries is dangerous. There is a risk of acid exposure.
Battery Safety Instructions
WARNING: Batteries may vent explosive gases during operation.
WARNING: There is risk of high current discharge from shorting a battery that can cause fire and explosion.
Use insulated tools during installation.
WARNING: Remove all rings, watches, jewelry, or other conductive items before working near the batteries.
WARNING: Inspect the batteries at least once a year for cracks, leaks, or swelling. Follow the scheduled
maintenance procedures from the battery manufacturer.
WARNING: Dispose of the batteries according to local regulations. Do not incinerate batteries; there is risk of
explosion.
WARNING: A fuse must be installed between the battery and the inverter to protect against shorted cables.
