1-1.

General Safety Precautions

1-1-1. Do not expose the inverter to rain, snow, spray, bilge or dust. To reduce the risk of hazard, do
not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Do not install the inverter in a zero-clearance
compartment. Overheating may result.
1-1-2. To avoid a risk of fire or electrical shock, make sure that existing wiring is in good electrical
condition and not undersized. Do not operate the inverter with damaged or substandard
wiring.
1-1-3. There are some components in the inverter that can cause arcs and sparks. To prevent fire or
explosion, do not put batteries, flammable materials, or anything that should be ignition–
protected around the inverter.
1-2.

Battery Safety Precautions

1-2-1. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, you need to wash with soap and water immediately.
If battery acid contacts your eyes, you need to wash it out with cold running water for at least
20 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
1-2-2. Never smoke, make a spark or create a flame in the vicinity of the battery or the engine.
1-2-3. Do not drop a metal tool on the battery. The resulting spark or short-circuit of this act may
result in an explosion, spark or fire.
1-2-4. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when operating
with lead-acid batteries. Failure to do so may result in a spark or short circuit event, which can
result in very high temperatures that can melt the metal items and potentially cause serious
bodily harm.
