IMPORTANT
BATTERY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Wear eye protection such as safety glasses when working with
batteries.
• Remove all jewelry such as rings, watches, bracelets, etc., when
installing or performing maintenance on the inverter.
• Never work alone. Always have someone near you when working
around batteries.
• Use proper lifting techniques when working with batteries.
• Never use old or untested batteries. Check each battery's label for
age, type and date code to ensure all batteries are identical.
• Batteries are sensitive to changes in temperature. Always install
batteries in a stable environment.
• Install batteries in a well ventilated area. Batteries can produce
explosive gasses. For compartment or enclosure installations, always
vent batteries to the outside.
• Provide at least one inch of air space between batteries to provide
optimum cooling.
• Never smoke when in the vicinity of batteries.
• To prevent a spark at the battery and reduce the chance of explo-
sion, always connect the cables to the batteries first. Then connect the
cables to the inverter.
• Use insulated tools at all times.
• Always verify proper polarity and voltage before connecting the
batteries to the inverter.
• To reduce the chance of fire or explosion, do not short-circuit the
batteries.
• In the even of accidental exposure to battery acid, wash thoroughly
with soap and water. In the event of exposure to the eyes, flood them
for at least 15 minutes with running water and seek immediate medical
attention.
• Recycle old batteries.
