1. Important Safety Instructions
WA RN I N G !
Before you install and use your Inverter, please read and
follow these safety instructions.
1-1. General Safety Precautions
1-1-1. Do not expose the Inverter to rain, snow, spray, bilge or dust.
To reduce risk of hazard, do not obstruct the ventilation
openings. Do not install the Inverter in a zero-clearance
compartment as overheating may result.
1-1-2. To avoid the risk of fire and electric shock ensure all wiring and
and cables are in good electrical conditions and of sufficient size.
Do not operate the Inverter with damaged or substandard wiring.
1-1-3. The PS-150/300 contains components which can produce arcs or
sparks. To prevent fire or explosion, do not install or use in
compartments containing batteries, flammable materials or in locations
that require ignition protected equipment. This includes any space
containing gasoline-powered machinery, fuel tanks, joints, fittings,
or other connections or components of any fuel system.
1-2. Precautions When Working with Batteries
1-2-1. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap
and water. If acid enters eyes, immediately flood eyes with running
cold water for at least 20 minutes and get immediate medical attention.
1-2-2. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or
engine.
1-2-3. Do not drop any metal tools or equipment on the battery. Doing so may
result in sparking or the short circuit of the battery or possible explosion.
1-2-4. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces,
and watches when working with a lead-acid battery.
A lead-acid battery can produces a short-circuit current high enough
to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing severe burns.
