  Do not use this product wherever there are flammable fumes or gases, such as in the bilge 

of a gasoline-powered boat or near propane tanks.   

·

  Do not use this product in an enclosure containing automotive-type lead-acid batteries.   

·

  These batteries, unlike the sealed AGM battery in the Backup Power System, vent 

explosive hydrogen gas which can be ignited by sparks from electrical connections. 

·

  When working on electrical equipment, always ensure someone is nearby to aid you in 

case of an emergency.

Ensure at least 3in. (7.5 cm) air space is maintained on all sides of the Backup Power System. 

During operation, ensure unit is not near or covered by materials that can cause high 

temperatures such as blankets, pillows and sleeping bags. 

 

WARNING:

 

Electric shock hazard 

Do not remove cover. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service 
personnel.   

 

WARNING:

 

Shock and burn hazard 

A battery can present a risk of electrical shock or burn from high short-circuit current. 

 

CAUTION:

 

Risk of damage to the Backup Power System 

The unit will not work when connected to any AC load that has its neutral conductor connected 
to ground. Such loads include AC distribution wiring and house wiring.   

 

CAUTION:

 

Equipment Damage

 

Do not expose the Backup Power System, to temperatures over 104°F (40°C). 

 

PRECAUTIONS FOR USING RECHARGEABLE PRODUCTS 

 

WARNING:

 

Explosion and Fire Hazard 

·

  Follow all instructions published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of the 

equipment in which the battery is installed. 

·

  Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated. 

·

  Never smoke or allow a spark or flame within the vicinity of the engine or batteries. 

·

  Be careful not to drop a metal object on the battery. Do not allow a metal tool to 

simultaneously touch the positive and negative cable ends or battery terminals. It can 
create an explosion hazard.
