IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
— This manual contains important safety and operating
instructions for the voltage converter
VOLTAGE CONVERTER PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not expose the voltage converter to rain or snow unless it is a sealed model.
2. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may result in a
risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
3. Do not disassemble the voltage converter. If service or repair is required, return it to
the manufacturer or an authorized service center. Incorrect reassembly may result in
a risk of fire or electric shock. Voltages up to 350 volts are present inside the voltage
converter any time it is connected to input power, even if it is switched OFF.
4. To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect the voltage converter from the input
power before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Switching the voltage con-
verter to OFF will not reduce this risk.
5. Never place the voltage converter directly above a battery; gasses from the battery
will corrode and damage the voltage converter.
6. Never allow battery acid to drip onto the voltage converter.
