Warnings & Safety Information - PowerTech MI5740 Instruction Manual

WARNINGS & SAFETY INFORMATION
• Please read and understand this manual before installing and using this
inverter.
• Do not connect to equipment that exceeds the inverter's specified power
rating
• Permanent damage may occur that will not be covered by the warranty.
• Place the inverter on a reasonably flat surface, either horizontally or
vertically.
• The inverter should not be installed in the enginer compartment, due
to possible water/oil/acid contamination, and excessive heat under the
bonnet, as well as potential danger from petrol fumes and the spark that
an inverter can occassionally produce. It's best to run battery cables to a
dry, cool mounting location.
• Keep the inverter dry. Do not expose it to rain or moisture. DO NOT
operate the inverter if the inverter, the device being operated, or any
other surfaces that may come in contact with any power source are wet.
Water and many other liquids can conduct electricity which may lead to
serious injury or death.
• Do not operate the inverter in dusty environments. Keep the fan clean
and free of dust.
• Avoid placing the inverter on or near heating vents, radiators or other
sources of heat. Do not place the inverter in direct sunlight. Ideal
operating temperature is between 10°C and 30°C. Allow at least 2 inches
(5cm) of air space on all sides of the inverter. During operation, keep
away from materials that may be affected by high temperatures.
• In order to properly disperse heat generated while the inverter is in
operation, keep it well ventilated. While in use, maintain several inches of
clearance around the top and sides of the inverter.
• DO NOT use the inverter near flammable materials
• DO NOT install inverters in unvented battery compartments
• DO NOT expose the inverter to temperatures exceeding 40°C
• DO NOT connect live AC power to the inverter's AC outlets. The inverter
will be damaged even if it is switched OFF.
• Any internal adjustment on the inverter is prohibited. Do not disassemble.
WARNING: The manufacturer is not responsible for any potential injury
from misuse
