Routine Maintenance
Freedom HF Unit
Minimal maintenance is required to keep your Freedom HF
operating properly. Periodically you should:
Clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth to prevent the
accumulation of dust and dirt.
Ensure that the DC cables are secure and fasteners are tight.
Make sure the ventilation openings are not clogged.
Batteries
When possible, you should recharge your batteries whenever a
low voltage warning or a shutdown occurs with the Freedom HF.
This gives the batteries a much longer life than recharging when
the batteries have been almost completely discharged.
