CAUTION!
Equipment Damage
When connecting cables from the inverter to the battery terminals,
ensure the proper polarity is observed. Connecting the cables
incorrectly can damage or destroy the equipment and the warranty
may be annulled.
Thoroughly inspect the equipment prior to energizing. Verify that no
tools or equipment have been inadvertently left behind.
Ensure clearance requirements are strictly enforced.
Keep all vents clear of obstructions that can prevent proper air flow
around, or through, the unit.
CAUTION!
Equipment Damage
Static electricity may damage electronic components. Take
appropriate steps to prevent such damage to the inverter;
otherwise, the warranty may be annulled.
Battery Safety
WARNING!
Explosion, Electrocution, or
Fire Hazard
Ensure the cables (conductors) are properly sized.
Ensure clearance requirements around the batteries are strictly
enforced.
Ensure the area around the batteries is well ventilated and clean
of debris.
Never smoke, or allow a spark or flame, near the batteries.
Always use insulated tools. Avoid dropping tools onto batteries or
other electrical parts.
Never charge a frozen battery.
Never use old or untested batteries. Check each battery’s label for
age, type, and date code to ensure all batteries are identical.
If a battery must be removed, always remove the grounded terminal
from the battery first. Make sure all devices are de-energized or
disconnected to avoid causing a spark.
IMPORTANT
Use the battery types recommended by Go Power!. Follow the
battery manufacturer’s recommendations for installation and
maintenance.
Insulate batteries as appropriate against freezing temperatures. A
discharged battery will freeze more easily than a charged one.
If a remote or automatic generator control system is used, disable
the starting circuit and/or disconnect the generator from its starting
battery while performing maintenance to prevent accidental starting.
Wear complete eye and clothing protection when working
with batteries. Avoid touching bare skin or eyes while working
near batteries.
Keep plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid
contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap
and water. If acid enters the eye, immediately flood it with cold
running water for at least 20 minutes and get medical attention as
soon as possible.
