BATTERY SAFETY INFORMATION
•
Always wear eye protection, such as safety glasses, when working with
batteries.
•
Remove all loose jewelry before working with batteries.
•
Never work alone. Have someone assist you with the installation or be
close enough to come to your aid when working with batteries.
•
NEVER smoke in the vicinity of a battery or generator.
•
Always connect the batteries first, then connect the cables to the inverter
via a DC disconnect switched OFF. This will greatly reduce the chance of
spark in the vicinity of the batteries.
•
Use insulated tools when working with batteries.
•
When connecting batteries, always verify proper voltage and polarity.
•
Do not short-circuit battery cables. Fire or explosion can occur.
•
In the event of exposure to battery electrolyte, wash the area with soap
and water. If acid enters the eyes, flood them with running cold water for
at least 15 minutes and get immediate medical attention.
