ACTION
THIS CART IS POWERED BY A SUPER CAPACITOR. THIS CAPACITOR OR
CAPACITORS ARE VERY POWERFUL AND SHOULD BE TREATED WITH RESPECT.
THE LARGE 120-KILOJOULE SIZE IS CAPABLE OF 28,000-WATTS OF POWER. FOR THIS
REASON WE ISSUE THE FOLLOWING "WARNING" AND "CAUTION".
WARNING
Eye protection (wear safety glasses) is recommended when performing any procedures with
or on the capacitor cart
WARNING
DO NOT short circuit the capacitor terminals. It may be followed by burning or igniting of
combustible materials adjacent to the point of short circuit. In case of an accidental short
circuit it is necessary to disconnect the capacitor immediately from the electrical circuit taking
relevant safety measures.
WARNING
DO NOT touch both negative and positive capacitor terminals at the same time. Serious
injury may occur.
WARNING
These capacitors contain an electrolyte composed of potassium hydroxide solution.
Requirements of operation shall be observed to avoid electrolyte leakage. Electrolyte may
cause chemical burn if spilled onto unprotected skin. If the capacitors are destroyed due to
impact, it is necessary to take actions preventing electrolyte from spilling onto unprotected
skin of attending personnel. If bodily contact occurs, flush with water for 15 minutes. If
burning persists seek medical attention. Potassium hydroxide is contained in many
household drain cleaners.
WARNING
Never attempt to jump start a battery with frozen electrolyte. A frozen battery could explode
from applying a charge. (If battery voltage is less than 2-volts when switch is in battery
position, check battery prior to proceeding).
CAUTION
Noncompliance with the requirements set forth in this manual may result in capacitor failure.
Such requirements shall be reviewed prior to and observed in the operation of the cart.
