Product Safety Information
1. Before using the inverter/charger, read all instructions and
cautionary markings on the unit, the batteries, and all
appropriate sections of this guide.
2. Use of accessories not recommended or sold by the
manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons.
3. The inverter/charger is designed to be connected to both DC
and AC electrical systems. The manufacturer recommends
that all wiring be done by a certified technician or electrician
to ensure adherence to the local and national electrical
codes applicable in your jurisdiction.
4. To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that
existing wiring is in good condition and that wire is not
undersized. Do not operate the inverter/charger with
damaged or substandard wiring.
5. Do not operate the inverter/charger if it has been damaged in
any way.
6. This unit does not have any user-serviceable parts. Do not
disassemble the inverter/charger except where noted for
connecting wiring and cabling. See your warranty for
instructions on obtaining service. Attempting to service the
unit yourself may result in a risk of electrical shock or fire.
Internal capacitors remain charged after all power is
disconnected.
7. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect both AC
and DC power from the inverter/charger before attempting
any maintenance or cleaning or working on any components
connected to the inverter/charger. Do not disconnect under
load. Turning the inverter/charger to Standby mode using the
Power button on the front panel will not reduce an electrical
shock hazard.
