Precautions When Preparing to Charge

Precautions When Placing the Inverter/Charger

EXPOSURE TO CHEMICALS AND GASES HAZARD

Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.

Make sure the voltage of the batteries matches the output voltage of the inverter/charger.

Be careful to keep corrosion from coming into contact with your eyes and skin when cleaning battery terminals.

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

FIRE HAZARD

Do not install the inverter/charger or any part of its supplied wiring in engine compartments.

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

NOTES:

Study and follow all of the battery manufacturer's specific precautions, such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging, whether equalization is acceptable for your battery, and recommended rates of charge.

For flooded non-sealed batteries, add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches the level specified by the battery manufacturer. This helps to purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without removable cell caps, carefully follow manufacturer's instructions.

RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE INVERTER/CHARGER

Never allow battery acid to drip on the inverter/charger when reading gravity, or filling battery.

Never place the Freedom HF Inverter/Charger unit directly above batteries; gases from a battery will corrode and damage the inverter/ charger.

Do not place a battery on top of the inverter/charger.

Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and/or damage other equipment.
