SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH!

Disconnect charging source(s) BEFORE connecting or disconnecting battery terminals!

Electrical • Some battery terminals and other components remain LIVE even when the

Hazard

system is switched off! LETHAL VOLTAGES may still be present when the rack is non-operational, or when breakers are in the OFF position!

USE EXTREME CAUTION when making terminal connections! DO NOT allow cables to touch anything except the intended terminal!

INSULATED TOOLS and proper INSULATING MATERIALS (rubber floor stands, rubber mats, gloves, protective clothing, etc.) should be used when connecting battery cables!

Safety precautions

• Assemble racks in accordance with the instructions contained in this document

WITHOUT DEVIATION.

Caution

• For installations where grounding is required for IEC and/or local codes, see

 

 

instructions for RACK GROUNDING.

 

• Refer to local ordinances that pertain to battery installation and storage.

 

• Handle, transport, and properly dispose of or recycle batteries in accordance

 

with regulations.

 

Lead-acid batteries contain hazardous, toxic materials. DO NOT dispose of

 

batteries in a fire—they may explode!

 

• Do not open, alter, or mutilate batteries! Released electrolyte is harmful to the

 

skin and eyes, and may be toxic.

 

• Batteries should always be replaced with the same number and type as

 

previously used.

 

• Batteries must remain in a climate-controlled environment having a

 

temperature range of 22° to 25° C [72° to 77° F] and a relative humidity of 0%

 

to 95%, non-condensing. Failure to adhere to these guidelines could adversely

 

affect the performance of your batteries, as well as your battery warranty.
