Warnings and cautions

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

•Keep children away from the XPower Inverter 450 inverter. The inverter generates the same potentially lethal AC power as a normal household wall outlet. Treat the outlet with respect!

•Do not use the XPower Inverter 450 in the presence of flammable fumes or gases, such as in the bilge of a gasoline powered boat, or near propane tanks. Do not use the XPower Inverter 450 in an enclosure containing automotive-type, lead-acid batteries. These batteries, unlike sealed batteries, vent explosive hydrogen gas, which can be ignited by sparks from electrical connections.

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