B A T T E R I E S
• Inexpensive ½ inch chip brush or soldering brush
Equipment
• Water hose with spray nozzle or 5-gallon watering bucket
• Empty spray bottle
• Old clothing
• Eye protection
• Rubber gloves
Supplies
• Baking soda or vinegar (for use with NiCad batteries only), always keep a supply on
hand in the event of a spill
• Water (a hose is best; a five-gallon watering bucket if a hose is not available)
• Hand cleaner or soap
• Towel
• When cleaning or tightening cables only: liquid neoprene or white lithium grease
(available at auto, RV, and marine stores)
Procedure
Review the Safety Precautions section of this booklet before you begin, then turn the disconnect
switches for the batteries you are cleaning to the Off position.
Battery Enclosure and Batteries
Mix an four-ounce box of baking soda with a gallon of fresh water and fill spray bottle. Spray solution
on all exposed surfaces of the battery compartment and wash down the exposed surfaces of the
batteries and their enclosure. Scrub stubborn areas with the scrub brush. Baking soda will
neutralize any acid that may have collected on these surfaces. Finish by rinsing with water.
Terminals & Lugs
Loose battery terminals and lugs exposed to open air will corrode rapidly. The corrosion will appear
as a white powder or granular foam on the terminals and any nearby exposed metal parts. This is
actually a crystallized form of sulfuric acid, which is extremely corrosive. If it contacts your skin, it will
cause burns unless you rinse it off immediately. Most textile goods that are exposed to this corrosive
will eventually dissolve.
The most common cause of battery system failure is loose or corroded battery terminals and cable
lugs. If any white powdery residue forms between the battery cable lug and the battery terminal, the
cable must be removed for cleaning. When it is necessary to detach a battery cable from the battery,

Questions and answers
how do you clear error light and alarm from remote control
To clear the error light and alarm on the Trace Engineering Legend remote control, follow these steps:
1. Identify the Error – Check the LED indicators on the remote control to determine the cause of the alarm (e.g., low battery voltage, high temperature, etc.).
2. Resolve the Issue – Address the underlying problem based on the error type:
- If the battery voltage is too low or high, check and adjust the battery condition.
- If there is a high-temperature warning, allow the unit to cool down.
- Ensure all connections (battery and AC output) are secure and clean.
3. Reset the Inverter – Turn the inverter off, wait a few seconds, and turn it back on.
4. Monitor the System – Observe the LED indicators to confirm the error is cleared.
If the issue persists, further troubleshooting may be required.
