WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
n
Tighten the nuts on the DC terminals properly. Loose
connections cause excessive voltage drop and may
cause overheated wires and melted insulation.
n
Do not over-tighten the nut on the DC input terminals
because damage to the DC input terminals may result.
Use a torque screwdriver to tighten the nut to a maximum
torque of 80 in-lb (9 N-m) of force.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious
injury, or equipment damage
.
NOTICE
REVERSE POLARITY
n
Check cable polarity at both the battery and the Freedom
X 1200 before making the final DC connection. Positive
must be connected to positive; negative must be
connected to negative. Check to see if the reverse polarity
LED (see
Step 6: Connecting the DC Cables
) is not
illuminated.
n
Reversing the positive and negative battery cables will
blow a fuse in the Freedom X 1200 and void your
warranty.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment
damage.
