IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

 

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 

 
 
 
 
 
This manual contains important instructions for the Evolve™ Hub as part of a complete home energy storage system.  
The Evolve Hub is a peripheral of the battery system, and is compatible with the Evolve ESS and Evolve LFP models.    
 
CAUTION:  Hazardous Voltages!  This product contains hazardous voltage and energy that may be lethal.  It may only 
be installed by qualified personnel who have read this manual and are familiar with its operation and hazards.  The 
following safety procedures should be followed: 
 
Only connect the Evolve Hub to a compatible electrical service as defined in the model specifications.   
 
Ensure proper electrical grounding in accordance with code requirements. 
 
Ensure proper airflow path for active cooling. 
 
Never operate system in a manner not described by this manual. 
 
Only qualified personnel should service this product. 
 
Ensure cover is securely fastened after installation is complete. 
 
Do not attempt to operate this product if there is any physical evidence of damage to the enclosure or internal 
components. 
 

CAUTION!

  This product contains an AGM lead acid battery.  This product must be stored indoors in an 

environmentally conditioned location prior to installation, protected from rain and exposure to any hazardous 
chemicals.  Inspect the battery case prior to installation.  Do not install and power the product if there appears to be 
damage to the battery and contact your local product distributor. 
 
Do not dispose of the system or any of the components within the cabinet.  Batteries, electronics, cables, and metal 
parts are recyclable.  Consult your municipal waste management authority to determine required methods of 
component recycling.
