Important Safety Instructions
WARNING: Fire or Burn Hazard
 Ensure the cables are properly sized. Failure to size the cables properly can
result in a Fire Hazard.
 Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection when working with
batteries. Avoid touching your eyes while working near batteries.
 If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and
water. If acid enters the eye, immediately flood it with running cold water
for at least 20 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
 Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the batteries.
 Keep plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts
skin, clothing, or eyes.
WARNING: Explosion Hazard
Never charge a frozen battery. A flooded battery discharged to 40% SOC (state-
of-charge) can freeze at or below -8.9° C (16° F).
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
When connecting cables from the DC input breaker to the battery terminals,
ensure proper polarity is observed (positive-to-positive, negative-to-negative).
Connecting the cables incorrectly can damage or destroy the equipment.
IMPORTANT:
Baking Soda neutralizes lead-acid battery electrolyte.
Vinegar neutralizes NiCad and NiFe battery electrolyte.
Have a supply of either substance readily available if using these types
of batteries.

Recycling Information
IMPORTANT: Recycle Electronics and Batteries
Batteries are considered hazardous waste and must be recycled according to
local jurisdiction. Inverters and other electronics contain metals and plastics
that can (and should) be recycled. The following are some websites and phone
numbers that provide information and “how” and “where” to recycle batteries
and other electronic equipment.
OutBack Power Systems strongly encourages you to learn about recycling and
to dispose of recyclable items accordingly. The Earth, and OutBack Power
Systems, thanks you for that effort.
