1. Important Safety Information 

WARNING!

Before installing and using the Inverter, you need to read 
following safety information carefully.

1-1. General Safety Precautions 

1-1-1. Do not expose the Inverter to water, mist, snow, or dust.    To reduce 

the risk of hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation shaft. 

Do not install the Inverter in a zero-clearance compartment.  

Overheating may occur. 

1-1-2. To avoid the risk of fire and electronic shock, make sure that existing 

wiring is in good electrical condition and not undersize. 

Do not operate the Inverter with damaged or substandard Wiring. 

1-1-3. There are some components in the inverter can cause arcs and sparks. 

To prevent from fire or explosion, do not put batteries, flammable 

materials, or anything should be ignition–protected around the inverter. 

1-2. Precautions When Working with Batteries 

1-2-1. If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, you need to wash it out 

immediately with soap and water. If acid enters into your eyes, 

immediately flush your eyes with running cold water for at least 20 

minutes and get medical attention immediately.

1-2-2. Never smoke or make a spark or flame in the vicinity of batteries or 

Engines.

1-2-3. Do not drop a metal tools on the battery.The resulting spark or short-

circuit on the battery or other electrical parts may cause an 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 may produce a short-circuit current who’s 

temperature is high enough to weld these metal items and cause a 

severe burn.
