Important Safety Instructions

WARNING
This chapter contains important safety and operating instructions. Read and keep
this Owner's Guide for future reference.
1. Before installing and using the Xantrex PRO Inverter (XM 1800 or
XM 1000), read all instructions and cautionary markings on the
inverter, the batteries, and all appropriate sections of this guide.
2. Do not expose the Xantrex PRO Inverter to rain, snow, or spray. To
reduce risk of fire hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation
openings. Do not install the inverter in a zero-clearance compartment.
Overheating may result.
3. Use only attachments recommended or sold by the manufacturer.
Doing otherwise may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons.
4. To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that existing
wiring is in good condition and that wire is not undersized. Do not
operate the inverter with damaged or substandard wiring.
5. Do not operate the inverter if it has received a sharp blow, been
dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. If the inverter is
damaged, see the Warranty section.
6. Do not disassemble the inverter. It contains no user-serviceable parts.
See Warranty for instructions on obtaining service. Attempting to
service the inverter yourself may result in a risk of electrical shock or
fire. Internal capacitors remain charged after all power is
disconnected.
7. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect both AC and DC
power from the inverter before attempting any maintenance or
cleaning or working on any circuits connected to the inverter. Turning
off controls will not reduce this risk.
8. The inverter must be provided with an equipment-grounding
conductor connected to the AC input ground.
