WARNING 115 volt AC power is potentially lethal. Do not work on AC wiring when it is connected to the inverter (even if it is switched off) unless the DC power source is physically disconnected from the inverter. Also, do not work on AC wiring if it is connected to another AC power source such as a generator or the utility line.
WARNING You may observe a spark when making the connection because current can flow to charge the capacitors in the inverter.
Do not make this connection in the presence of flammablefumes. Explosion or fire may result. Thoroughly ventilate the battery compartment before making this connection.
