REVERSE POLARITY DAMAGE
DC power connections to the Freedom HF must be positive to positive and negative to negative.
A reverse polarity connection (positive to negative) will blow a fuse in the inverter and may permanently damage the inverter. The fuse is not user replaceable and the inverter may need to be returned for servicing. Damage caused by a reverse polarity connection is not covered by your warranty.
Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and/or damage other equipment.
12.Before proceeding, double check that the cable you have just installed connects the positive DC terminal of the inverter to the disconnect/ battery selector switch, fuse holder, and that the other end of the fuse holder is connected to the positive terminal of the battery.
FIRE HAZARD
Do not complete the next step if flammable fumes are present. Explosion or fire may result if the disconnect/battery selector switch is not in the off position. Thoroughly ventilate the battery compartment before making this connection.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
