Precautions When Working With Batteries
1. Use only SEALED batteries with the PowerHub 1800.
2. Follow all instructions published by the battery manufacturer.
3. Working in the vicinity of batteries may be dangerous. Unsealed
batteries can generate explosive gases during normal operation.
Therefore, you must read this guide and follow the instructions
exactly before installing or using the PowerHub.
4. This equipment contains components which tend to produce arcs or
sparks. To prevent fire or explosion, do not install the PowerHub in
locations that require ignition-protected equipment. This includes any
space containing gasoline-powered machinery, fuel tanks, as well as
joints, fittings, or other connections between components of the fuel
system.
5. To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and
those published by the battery manufacturer.
6. Make sure that nothing is blocking the air vents on the back of the
enclosure.
7. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the batteries.
8. Use caution to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool on the
batteries. It could spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical
parts and could cause an explosion.
9. Remove all personal metal items, like rings, bracelets, and watches
when working with batteries. Batteries can produce a short circuit
current high enough to weld metal, causing a severe burn.
10. Have someone within range of your voice or close enough to come to
your aid when you work near a battery.
11. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid
touching your eyes while working near batteries.
12. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid
contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
