Always ensure that you have enough people on hand to perform the operation safely,
i.e. at least one person to guide and stabilise and one person to hoist or handle the
pallet jack or gantry.

The gantry can be configured for wall mounting – when using the gantry in this
configuration absolute care must be taken to prevent the gantry from being pulled
over by non-vertical tension on the rope.
Mounting and Environmental Requirements
The Lite Home and Business HV models are designed strictly for indoor use away from
moisture and direct sunlight.
No specific venting is required since the Lite emits no hazardous gases, however air
circulation may be required to ensure room temperature is maintained at reasonable levels,
preferably below 30
˚
C (see Lite warranty for information upper temperature limits for hot
environments).
Room heating may be required in cold climates to keep the room above 0
˚
C, since charging
of the Lite is not permitted below 0
˚
C. Ambient environments that regularly exceeding 40
˚
C
should employ room cooling if practicable to ensure optimal Lite service life.
Temporary storage or transport of the battery is permitted in the range -20
˚
C to 45
˚
C,
however extended storage should be between 0
˚
C and 30
˚
C.
The Lite may be mounted directly against a wall or on the floor. There is no minimum
requirement for spacing around the battery from other objects provided that these objects
do not generate heat and that the vents on the sides of the battery are not blocked. Note
however that access is required to the USB programming port on the left side, and the CAN
Bus plug sockets and cable exits on the right side.
The Lite should be installed at least 500mm way from a heat source.
The Lite Home and Business IP rating is IP20.

The Freedom Lite is simple to connect to the battery inverter. First of all you will connect
the battery positive and negative cables to the inverter terminals using the applicable lugs.
Caution: Prior to connecting the positive and negative cables to the inverter be sure to
check that the main battery circuit breaker is switched off. This will ensure that there are
no short circuits between the loose ends of the cables and that you do not shock yourself!
The cables are supplied with the Freedom Lite, permanently fixed into the unit and secured
onto the casing using compression cable glands. Attach crimp lugs to the ends of both cables
ensuring that the correct terminal size is used, and the lug is matched to the size of the
cable. The positive cable is red, and the negative cable is black. This is confirmed by + and –
