Only install the device on low or non-flammable surfaces.
Only operate fluorescent tubes with the converter if they are equipped with an electronic starter or con-
trol unit. Operation with conventional starters may cause considerable damage to the converter.
AC outputs of several power sources must not be connected in parallel! No AC generators or mains vol-
tage must be connected to the AC output of the converter. This will immediately destroy the converter!
Keep the converter and lead batteries away from ignition sources or open fire! There is a danger of
explosion!
The converter has 230V/AC at the output. Even when switched off, the charged capacitators may still brief-
ly carry 230 V/AC at the output. Never open the converter! The inside of the device may be subject to dan-
gerous voltages even after disconnection from the battery. Service and repairs therefore have to be perfor-
med by authorised specialists.
Improper assembly may cause dangerous contact voltages even in the closed device!
Battery notes
Lead batteries pose a great danger for people, animals and the environment in case of improper use.

Lead batteries contain aggressive and corrosive acids. Avoid skin or eye contact with battery fluids! Never
dismantle batteries! On skin contact, clean the affected areas thoroughly with water and soap. On eye
contact, rinse the effected eye immediately with clear and cold running water! Then consult a doctor imme-
