WARNING: Explosion hazard

Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: Explosion hazard

Do not use this product where there are flammable fumes or gases, such as in the bilge of a gasoline- powered boat, or near propane tanks. Do not use this product in an enclosure containing automotive-type lead acid batteries. These batteries, unlike the sealed AGM battery in Powerpack Solar 400, vent explosive hydrogen gas which can be ignited by sparks caused when making electrical connections.

When working on electrical equipment, always ensure someone is nearby to help you in an emergency.

WARNING: Heated surface

Ensure at least 2" (5 cm) air space is maintained on all sides of the Powerpack Solar 400. During operation, keep away from materials that may be affected by high temperatures such as blankets, pillows and sleeping bags.

CAUTION

Do not connect any AC appliance with the neutral conductor connected to ground to the Powerpack Solar 400 including AC residential electrical distribution panels.

CAUTION

Do not expose the Powerpack Solar 400 to temperatures over 104 °F (40 °C).
