Specific Operation Warnings
⚠WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD
 DO NOT expose the inverter to rain, snow, spray, or bilge water.
 Make sure the inverter wiring is of proper size and rating and in good condition. Operating the
inverter with damaged wiring may void warranty.
 DO NOT use the inverter if it has been dropped, hit, worn, broken, or damaged.
 DO NOT attempt to service or disassemble the inverter, as it does not have user-serviceable parts
and the internal capacitors remain charged even if the power source is disconnected.
 Disconnect DC power source from the inverter, before attempting to service, clean, or operate on
any circuits connected to inverter. Turning off the controls will not reduce the risk of electric shock.
 NEVER connect the inverter to any power distribution systems or branch circuits.
FIRE HAZARD
 DO NOT cover or obstruct the ventilation of the inverter, as doing so may cause overheating.
 Make sure there is minimum of 3” of unblocked air space around the entire surface of the inverter
at all times.
 The inverter may become warm reaching a temperature of 140°F (60°C) under high power
operation. DO NOT place any materials near the inverter that could be easily damaged by heat.
 Never install the inverter in a zero-clearance environment, as doing so may cause overheating of
the inverter.
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
 DO NOT connect the inverter to live AC power circuits or any AC device with neutral conductor
connected to ground, to avoid damage to the inverter, even if the inverter is switched off.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING WITH BATTERIES
 Follow all instructions mentioned by the manufacturer to avoid explosion of the battery.
EXPLOSION AND FIRE HAZARD
 DO NOT work near lead-acid batteries, as the batteries generate explosive gases during normal
operation.
 DO NOT drop a metal tool on the battery, as doing so can create spark or short circuit in the
battery or other electrical parts, resulting in battery explosion.
 While removing the battery, make sure to remove grounded terminal from the battery and
disconnect other electrical connections.
 When working with lead-acid batteries, always have someone nearby in case of an emergency.
 NEVER operate the inverter near flammable items or explosives, such as in a cabin of a gasoline
powerboat, near propane/fuel tanks, in compartments containing batteries of flammable materials,
locations that require ignition-protected equipment, joints, fittings, or any connections between fuel
system components. This inverter contains components which tend to produce arcs or sparks.
 Make sure the area around the battery and engine is well-ventilated and free from sparks or
flames.
