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.
