HEATED SURFACE HAZARD

The XPower Inverter 450 housing may become uncomfortably warm, reaching 140° F (60° C) under extended high power operation. Ensure that at least 2 inches (5 cm) of air surround the inverter. During operation, keep

it away from materials that may be affected by high temperatures.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
