WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
l
Tighten the nuts on the DC terminals properly. Loose
connections cause excessive voltage drop and may cause
overheated wires and melted insulation.
l
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
l
Check cable polarity at both the battery and the Freedom XC
PRO 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
) is not illuminated.
l
Reversing the positive and negative battery cables will blow
a fuse in the Freedom XC PRO and void your warranty.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment
damage.
