IMPORTANT

Use the battery types recommended by Go Power!  Follow 

the battery manufacturer’s recommendations for installation 

and maintenance.

Insulate batteries as appropriate against freezing 

temperatures.  A discharged battery will freeze more easily 

than a charged one. 

If a remote or automatic generator control system is used, 

disable the starting circuit and/or disconnect the generator 

from its starting battery while performing maintenance to 

prevent accidental starting. 

Wear complete eye and clothing protection when working 

with batteries.  Avoid touching bare skin or eyes while working 

near batteries.

Keep plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery 

acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.

If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately 

with soap and water.  If acid enters the eye, immediately 

flood it with running cold water for at least 20 minutes and get 

medical attention as soon as possible.

CAUTION!  

Equipment Damage

When connecting cables from the inverter to the battery 

terminals, ensure the proper polarity is observed.  Connecting 

the cables incorrectly can damage or destroy the equipment 

and void the product warranty.

Thoroughly inspect the equipment prior to energizing.  Verify 

that no tools or equipment have been inadvertently left 

behind.

Ensure clearance requirements are strictly enforced.  

Keep all vents clear of obstructions that can prevent proper 

air flow around, or through, the unit.

CAUTION!  

Equipment Damage

Static electricity may damage electronic components.  Take 

appropriate steps to prevent such damage to the inverter; 

otherwise the warranty may be annulled.
