SHOCK HAZARD

DO NOT expose the inverter to rain, snow, spray, or bilge water.

Make sure the inverter wiring is of proper size and rating and in good condition. Operating the
inverter with damaged wiring may void the warranty.

DO NOT use the inverter if it has been dropped, hit, worn, broken, or damaged.

DO NOT attempt to service or disassemble the inverter, it does not have serviceable parts.

Disconnect the DC power source from the inverter before attempting to service, clean, or
operate on any circuits connected to inverter. Turning off the controls will not reduce the risk of
electric shock.

NEVER connect the inverter to any power distribution systems or branch circuits.
FIRE HAZARD

DO NOT cover or obstruct the ventilation of the inverter, as doing so may cause overheating.

For continued protection against risk of fire, or electric shock replace only with same type and
ratings of fuse.

Make sure there is minimum
of 3” of unblocked air space around the entire surface of the
inverter at all times. The inverter may become warm reaching a temperature of 140
°
F (60
°
C)
under high power operation.

DO NOT place any materials near the inverter that could be easily damaged by heat.

Never install the inverter in a zero-clearance environment, as doing so may cause the inverter to
overheat.
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

DO NOT connect the inverter to live AC power circuits or any AC device with a neutral conductor
connected to ground (to avoid damage to the inverter) even if the inverter is turned off.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING WITH BATTERIES
Follow all instructions mentioned by the manufacturer to avoid explosion of the battery.
EXPLOSION AND FIRE HAZARD

DO NOT work near lead-acid batteries, as the batteries generate explosive gases during normal
operation.

DO NOT drop a metal tool on the battery, as doing so can create sparks or a short circuit in the
battery or other electrical parts, resulting in a battery explosion.

While removing the battery, make sure to remove the grounded terminal from the battery and
disconnect other electrical connections.

NEVER operate the inverter near flammable items or explosives, such as in cabin of a gasoline
powerboat, or near propane/fuel tanks, in compartments containing batteries of flammable
materials, locations that require ignition-protected equipment, joints, fittings or any connections
between fuel system components. This inverter contains components which tend to produce
arcs or sparks.

Make sure the area around the battery and engine is well ventilated and free from sparks or
flames.

NEVER smoke while handling the inverter.

DO NOT operate the inverter in an enclosed area containing automotive type lead-acid batteries.
These types of batteries emit explosive hydrogen gases that can be ignited by sparks.

DO NOT remove the battery with any of the accessories attached, to prevent the risk of sparks.
CHEMICAL HAZARD

Remove all metal items such as rings, bracelets, and watches when working with the lead-acid
