SECTION 1 | Safety Instructions
9. Precautions when working with batteries.
- Batteries contain very corrosive diluted Sulphuric Acid as electrolyte.
Precautions should be taken to prevent contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
- Batteries generate Hydrogen and Oxygen during charging resulting in
evolution of explosive gas mixture. Care should be taken to ventilate the
battery area and follow the battery manufacturer’s recommendations.
- NEVER smoke or allow a spark or ame near the batteries.
- Use caution to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool on the battery. It
could spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical parts and could
cause an explosion.
- Remove metal items like rings, bracelets and watches when working with batteries. The batteries can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a
ring or the like to metal and thus cause a severe burn.
- If you need to remove a battery, always remove the Negative Ground Terminal
from the battery rst. Make sure that all the accessories are OFF so that you do
not cause a spark.
CAUTIONS!
!
1. Please refer to 12V Plug Adapter (8) at Fig 2.3. Please ensure that the battery is
connected with correct polarity - Positive of the battery to the tip of the Adapter (8)
and the Negative of the battery to the spring contacts of the Adapter (8). Reversal of
polarity will blow 15A fuse (5). Reversal of polarity may result in permanent damage
to the unit and to the load. DAMAGE DUE TO REVERSE POLARITY IS NOT COVERED
UNDER WARRANTY.
2. The inverter has no ON/OFF switch. It will switch ON automatically after plugging
into 12V battery through the 12V Plug Adapter. Unplug the inverter from the battery
when not in use, as it will drain 0.5A from the battery even if no load is connected.
3. Ensure that the unit is connected to 12V battery and the battery charger voltage is
≤ 16.5V. Higher DC input voltage will damage the unit.
