  • Do not expose the devices to flammable or harsh chemicals or vapors.
  • Clean the devices regularly.
  • Do not puncture, drop, crush, penetrate, shake, strike, or step on the devices.
  • Do not open, disassemble, repair, tamper with, or modify the devices.
  • Connect the negative prior to the positive terminal when connecting any device.

Battery Safety

  • Do not use batteries if there is any damage.
  • Do not touch the exposed electrolyte or powder if the battery is damaged.
  • Risk of explosion! Never install the battery charger and inverter charger in a sealed enclosure with flooded batteries! Do not install the battery charger, and inverter charger in a confined area where battery gases can accumulate.
  • Prior to installing the devices, ensure all battery groups are installed properly.

Battery Charger, and Inverter Charger Safety

  • Install the devices indoors on a vertical surface – protected from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and water. Make sure there is good ventilation.
  • Keep the devices away from heating equipment.
  • Do not insert foreign objects into the devices.
  • Confirm the polarities of the devices before connection. A reverse polarity contact can result in damage to the devices, thus voiding the warranty.
  • Do not touch the connector contacts while the devices are in operation.
  • Disconnect all connectors from the devices before maintenance or cleaning.
  • Ensure the inverter charger is firmly grounded to a building, vehicle, or earth grounded. Keep the inverter charger away from EMI receptors such as TVs, radios, and other audio/visual electronics to prevent damage / interference to the equipment.
