Safety and Usage Precautions
WARNI
RNING
Batteries are shipped fully-charged.
Use extreme caution when handling
the batteries as they are capable
of generating hazardous short-
circuit currents. Remove all jewelry
(bracelets, metal-strap watches,
etc.) before attempting to handle the
batteries.
Solar panels produce DC electricity
when exposed to light and can,
therefore, produce an electrical
shock or burn. To render solar
panels inoperative, remove them
from sunlight, or fully cover their
front surface with an opaque
material.
Before lifting any heavy or bulky
equipment, ensure that the load is
secured so that moving parts do
not shift and it can be lifted as far
as needed without back strain or
loss of grip. Installation may require
more than one person.
Ensure the equipment is not
powered during installation and
wiring of the system.
Re-check all completed wiring for
proper polarity prior to energizing
the system.
System must not be operated on
one battery.
