Important Safety Instructions

WARNING

This chapter contains important safety and operating instructions. Read and keep this Operator’s Guide for future reference.

WARNING: Limitations on use

The PowerHub 1800 is not intended for use in connection with life support systems or other medical equipment or devices.

WARNING

To avoid the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, generators are not to be used indoors. When generators are used outdoors there must be sufficient circulation to vent the carbon monoxide.

1.Before installing and using the PowerHub 1800, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the PowerHub, the batteries, and in both the Installation Guide and the Operator’s Guide.

2.The PowerHub is intended for indoor use only. Do not expose the PowerHub to rain, snow, or spray. To reduce risk of fire hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Do not install the PowerHub in a zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may result.

3.The PowerHub may connect to as many as three sources of DC Power and one source of AC Power. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect all sources of AC and DC power from the PowerHub before attempting any maintenance or cleaning or working on any circuits connected to the PowerHub. Turning off controls will not eliminate this risk.

4.Use only attachments that are intended for use with this product. Doing otherwise may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

5.To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that all of the installation wiring is in good condition and that wire is not undersized. Do not operate the PowerHub with damaged or substandard wiring.

6.Do not operate the PowerHub if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. If the PowerHub is damaged, see the “Return Procedure” on page WA–3.
