This chapter contains important safety and operating instructions. Read and keep this
Owner's Manual for future reference.
1. Before installing and using the RV Series Inverter/Charger, read all
instructions and cautionary markings on the RV Series Inverter/Charger, the
batteries, and all appropriate sections of this Manual.
2. Do not expose the RV Series Inverter/Charger to rain, snow, spray, or bilge
water. To reduce risk of fire hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation
openings. Do not install the RV Series Inverter/Charger 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 RV Series
Inverter/Charger with damaged or substandard wiring.
5. Do not operate the RV Series Inverter/Charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. If the RV Series Inverter/
Charger is damaged, see the Warranty section.
6. Do not disassemble the RV Series Inverter/Charger. It contains no user-
serviceable parts. See Warranty for instructions on obtaining service.
Attempting to service the RV Series Inverter/Charger 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 RV Series Inverter/Charger before attempting any maintenance or
cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.
8. The RV Series Inverter/Charger must be provided with an equipment-
grounding conductor connected to the AC input ground.
