CAUTION
Do not over tighten the nut on the DC input terminals. Damage to the DC input
terminals may result.

6–7 lbF-in (0.68–0.79 Nm) .
CAUTION: Reverse polarity
DC power connections to the Duracell must be positive to positive and negative
to negative.
A reverse polarity connection (positive to negative) will blow a fuse in the
inverter and may permanently damage the inverter. The fuse is not user
replaceable and the inverter may need to be returned for servicing.
Damage caused by a reverse polarity connection is not covered by your warranty.
WARNING: Explosion or fire
Do not complete the next step if flammable fumes are present. Explosion or fire
may result if the Disconnect/Battery Selector switch is not in the Off position.
Thoroughly ventilate the battery compartment before making this connection.
