NOTE
!
Before using the inverter charger, read and save this manual.
1-1. General Safety
Precautions
1-1-1. Do not expose the i nverter to rain, snow, spray, bilge or dust. To reduce risk of hazard, do not cover
or obstruct the ventilation openings. Do not install the i nverter in a zero-clearance compartment.
Overheating may result. Allow at least 12” of clearance around the inverter for air flow. Make sure that the
air can circulate freely around the unit. A minimum air flow of 145CFM is required.
1-1-2. To avoid risk of fire and electronic shock, make sure that existing wiring is in good electrical
condition and that the wire is not undersized. Do not operate the i nverter with damaged or substandard
wiring.
1-1-3. This equipment contains components which may produce arcs and/or sparks. To prevent fire and/or
explosion do not install in compartments containing batteries or flammable materials or in a location which
require ignition protected equipment. This includes any space containing gasoline-powered machinery, fuel
tanks, or joints, fittings, or other connection between components of the fuel system.
See Warranty for instructions on obtaining service.
1-1-4. Do not disassemble the Inverter Charger. It contains no user-serviceable parts. Attempting to service
the Inverter Charger yourself may result in electrical shock or fire. Internal capacitors remain charged after
all power is disconnected.
1- 1-1-5. To reduc the risk of electrical shock, disconnect both AC and DC power from the Inverter Charger
before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk
CAUTION: Equipment damage
The output side of the inverter’s AC wiring should at no time be connected to public power or a generator.
This condition is far worse than a short circuit. If the unit survives this condition, it will shut down until
corrections are made.
Installation should ensure that the inverter’s AC output is, at no time, connected to its AC input.
1-2. Precautions When Working with
Batteries
1-2-1. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing immediately wash with soap and water. If acid enters eyes
immediately rinse eyes with running cold water and seek immediate medical attention.
1-2-2. Never smoke or allow a sparks or flames
near the battery.
1-2-3. Do not drop a metal tool on the battery. The resulting spark or short-circuit on the battery will cause
an explosion.
1-2-4. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a
battery. A battery produces a short-circuit current high enough to weld any metal objects and will cause a
severe burn.
1-2-5. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only deep-cycle lead acid, lead antimony, lead calcium gel cell,
absorbed mat, LIFEPO4 lithium or NiCad/NiFe type rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may
swell or burst causing personal injury and damage.
