Explosive Gas Precautions

Explosive Gas Precautions

1.Batteries generate explosive gases during normal operation. Be sure you follow all relevant instructions exactly before installing or using your inverter.

2.This equipment contains components which tend to produce arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or explosion, do not install the 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.

Precautions When Working With Batteries

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

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

3.Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the engine or battery.

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

5.Remove metal items like rings, bracelets, and watches when working with lead-acid batteries. These batteries produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, and thus cause a severe burn.

6.If you need to remove a battery, always remove the positive terminal from the battery first. Make sure all accessories are off so you don’t cause an arc.
