  CAUTION 

 

1. Installation and service should be performed by a qualified service technician. High voltage is present 
inside unit. Incorrect installation or use may result in risk of electric shock or fire. No user serviceable 
parts inside the unit. 

2. Remove all sources of power, utility and battery power before servicing or installing. 

3. Risk of explosive gases 

  Working near batteries is dangerous. Batteries produce explosive gases during normal 

battery operation.   

  To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow the instructions in this manual and the 

instructions from the battery manufacturer.   

4. Plan ahead 

  Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when 

working near a lead-acid battery. 

  Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or
