• All electrical work must be performed in accordance with local, state,

and federal electric codes.

• This product is designed for indoor/compartment installation. Do not

expose to rain, snow, moisture, or liquids of any type.

• Use insulated tools to reduce the chance of electrical shock or accidental

short circuits. Remove all jewelry such as rings, watches, bracelets, etc.,

when installing or performing maintenance on the inverter.

• Always disconnect the batteries or energy source prior to installing or

performing maintenance on the inverter. Live power may be present at

touching your eyes. If battery acid comes in contact with eyes, cleanse

right away with soap and water for a minimum of 15 minutes.

• Batteries produce explosive gases, DO NOT smoke or have an open

spark or ﬁ re near the system.
