APPENDIX

Storage Checklist

If the SW Series Inverter/Charger is used in a vehicular application such as a motor coach, truck, or boat, certain steps must be taken prior to seasonal storage. These steps are especially important for maintaining batteries as well as ensuring the automatic generator function, if installed, is disabled.

Preparation for Storage

Interior Storage

•Check that all batteries are fully charged.

•Press the SW Inverter/Charger’s green, GEN MENU pushbutton to access the SET GENERATOR menu. Select OFF to disable the auto generator start feature.

•Configure the vehicle’s electrical system for the correct shore power service settings.

•Connect the vehicle’s shore power cord to a properly rated receptacle (confirm it is live).

•Press the SW Inverter/Charger’s red, ON/OFF MENU pushbutton to access the SET INV menu. Select CHG to put the unit into the charger only mode.

•Switch OFF all unnecessary AC and DC loads.

WARNING: DO NOT STORE THE VEHICLE INDOORS WITH THE AUTO GEN START FEATURE ENABLED. GENERATORS EXHAUST DANGEROUS FUMES WHEN RUNNING.

Exterior Storage

For exterior storage, follow the same steps as above. If shore power is not available, enable the Auto- Gen Start feature and ensure there is enough fuel available to run the generator for charging the batteries. The generator will automatically start and stop, depending on the batteries’ state-of-charge.
