Precautions When Working With Batteries

WARNING: Explosion or fire hazard.

1.Follow all instructions published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of the equipment in which the battery is installed to reduce the risk of battery explosion.

2.Working in the vicinity of lead-acid batteries is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal operation. Therefore, you must read this guide and follow the instructions exactly before installing or using your PROwatt™ SW International Sine Wave Inverter.

3.This equipment contains components which tend to produce arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or explosion, do not operate the PROwatt™ SW International Sine Wave Inverter in compartments containing batteries or flammable materials, or in locations that require ignition- protected equipment. This includes any space containing gasoline- powered machinery, fuel tanks, as well as joints, fittings, or other connections between components of the fuel system.

4.Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.

5.Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the engine or batteries.

6.Use caution to reduce the risk or dropping a metal tool on the battery. It could spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical parts and could cause an explosion.

7.If you need to remove a battery, always remove the ground terminal from the battery first. Make sure all accessories are off so you don’t cause a spark.

WARNING: Risk of personal injury due to burns or battery acid.

8.Remove all metal items, like rings, bracelets, and watches when working with lead-acid batteries. Lead-acid batteries produce a short circuit current high enough to weld metal to skin, causing a severe burn.

9.Have someone within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.

10.Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.

11.Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching your eyes while working near batteries.

12.If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters your eye, immediately flood it with running cold water for at least twenty minutes and get medical attention immediately.
