certified electrician.

Controller and the battery. Damage due to reverse polarity connection is not covered by warranty.
3. Make sure all wire connections are secure as loose connections may cause sparks.

Preventing Fire and explosion Hazards
Working with electronic/electrical equipment may produce arcs or sparks. Thus, such equipment should not be
used in areas where there are inflammable materials or gases requiring ignition protected equipment. These
areas may include spaces containing gasoline powered machinery, fuel tanks, battery compartments, etc.
Precautions When Working With Batteries:
• batteries contain very corrosive diluted Sulphuric Acid as electrolyte. Precautions should be taken to
prevent contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
• batteries generate Hydrogen and oxygen during charging resulting in evolution of explosive gas
mixture. Care should be taken to ventilate the battery area and follow the battery manufacturer’s
recommendations.
