3. Safety WARNING: RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION Failure to comply with safety messages may cause serious injury, death or damage to property DANGER! Check that the voltage is within range before connecting the equipment to the inverter. NEVER connect if the voltage is out of range. DANGER! NEVER connect the ULTRA 175 units in SERIES..
Page 10: General Information
DANGER! Never drop or knock the modules. DANGER! If chargers/converters are used, use only those authorised by CEGASA. Misuse of the battery module during charging or discharging may cause the equipment to age prematurely leading to fire and/or explosion. DANGER! In the event of an emergency, read the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for the cells before proceeding.
