Figure 2-5Connection Order for DC Cables

CAUTION: Reverse polarity

Before making the final DC connection, check cable polarity at both the battery and the inverter. Positive (+) must be connected to positive (+); negative (–) must be connected to negative (–).

Reversing the positive (+) and negative (–) battery cables will damage the inverter and void your warranty.

WARNING: Fire hazard

Use only appropriately sized copper cable. Make sure all DC connections are tightened to a torque of 2.2–2.6 lbf-ft (3.0–3.5 Nm). Loose connections will overheat.
