IMPORTANT BATTERY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Wear eye protection (safety glasses) when working with bat-
teries.
• Remove all jewelry such as rings, watches, bracelets, etc., when
installing or performing maintenance on the inverter.
• Never work alone. Always have someone near you when working
around batteries.
• Use proper lifting techniques when working with batteries.
• Never use old or untested batteries. Check each battery's label for
age, type, and date code to ensure all batteries are identical.
• Batteries are sensitive to changes in temperature. Always install
batteries in a stable environment.
• Install batteries in a well ventilated area. Batteries can produce
explosive gasses. For compartment or enclosure installations,
always vent batteries to the outside.
• Provide at least one inch of air space between batteries to provide
optimum cooling.
• Never smoke when in the vicinity of batteries.
• To prevent a spark at the battery and reduce the chance of ex-
plosion, always connect the cables to the batteries fi rst. Then
connect the cables to the inverter.
• Use insulated tools at all times.
• Always verify proper polarity and voltage before connecting the
batteries to the inverter.
• To reduce the chance of fi re or explosion, do not short-circuit
the batteries.
• In the event of accidental exposure to battery acid, wash thor-
oughly with soap and water. In the event of exposure to the eyes,
fl ood them for at least 15 minutes with running water and seek
immediate medical attention.
• Recycle old batteries.
