CAUTION: Damage to Equipment
Do not put anything between the battery cable lug and the terminal surface.
Overheating of the terminal may occur. Do not apply any type of antioxidant
paste until after the battery cable wiring is tightened. The same applies for all DC
connections. Do not over-tighten; observe all recommended torque values.
CAUTION: Reverse Polarity Damage
Before making the final DC connection or closing the DC breaker or disconnect,
check cable polarity at both the battery and the inverter/charger. Positive (+)
must be connected to positive (+). Negative (–) must be connected to
negative (–).
Reverse polarity damage is not covered by warranty.
