    As the inverter contains no component parts that can be maintained, never • arbitrarily replace any internal components. For any maintenance need, please contact SUNGROW. Otherwise, SUN- • GROW shall not be held liable for any damage caused. Servicing of the device in accordance with the manual should never be under- taken in the absence of proper tools, test equipments or the latest revision of the manual which has been clearly and thoroughly understood.
