WARNING: Shock and energy hazard
Disconnect DC power before performing any routine maintenance work or
before working on any circuits connected to the inverter.
Minimal maintenance is required to keep your inverter operating properly.
Periodically you should:
• Clean the exterior of the inverter with a damp cloth to prevent the
accumulation of dust and dirt.
• Ensure that the DC cables are secure and fasteners are tight.
• Make sure ventilation openings on the AC and DC panels of the
inverter are not obstructed by blankets and similar items and/or
clogged with accumulated dust and dirt.
When possible, recharge your batteries when they are about 50%
discharged or earlier. This gives the batteries a much longer life cycle than
recharging when they are more deeply discharged.
