Safety and Usage Precautions
WARNING
Batteries are shipped fully-charged.
Use extreme caution when handling
the batteries as they are capable
of generating hazardous short-
circuit currents. Remove all jewelry
(bracelets, metal-strap watches,
etc.) before attempting to handle the
batteries.
Solar modules produce DC elec-
tricity when exposed to light and
can, therefore, produce an electri-
cal shock or burn. To render solar
modules inoperative, remove
them from sunlight, or fully cover
their front surface with an opaque
material.
Before lifting any heavy or bulky
equipment, ensure that the load is
secured so that moving parts do
not shift and it can be lifted as far
as needed without back strain or
loss of grip. Installation may require
more than one person.
Until the system is ready for startup,
keep the battery fuse out of the fuse
holder. Ensure the equipment is
not powered during installation and
wiring of the system.
Re-check all completed wiring for
proper polarity prior to energizing
the system.
On Start-Up, follow the proce-
dures described in the “Testing the
system” section of this document.
