Do not disassemble the inverter/charger. See the service section
of this manual for instructions on obtaining service. Attempting
to service the inverter yourself may result in a risk of electrical
shock, fire and/or loss of warranty.
Always use service disconnects to break the circuit before
attempting any kind of servicing of the RE-4500. DO NOT attempt
to service the unit while still actively connected to a power
source of any kind.
Explosive Gas Precautions
This equipment contains components, which tend to produce arcs
or sparks. To prevent fire or explosion, do not install 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, or
joints, fittings, or other connections between components of the
fuel system.
To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions,
the battery manufacturer instructions, and the instructions of the
manufacturer of the equipment in which the battery is installed.
Working near a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate
explosive gases during normal battery operation.
Battery Precautions
Always have someone within range of your voice to come to your
aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
Have close access to plenty of fresh water and soap in case
battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
Always wear complete eye protection and clothing protection.
Avoid touching eyes while working near batteries.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with
soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with
running cold water for at least 20 minutes. Get medical attention
immediately.
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame near a battery. Gases
produced by batteries are explosive.
