Precautions When Working With Batteries
NOTES:
1. Use only SEALED batteries with the PowerHub 1800.
2. Follow all instructions published by the battery manufacturer.
3. Working in the vicinity of batteries may be dangerous. Unsealed
batteries can generate explosive gases during normal operation.
Therefore, you must read this guide and follow the instructions exactly
before installing or using the PowerHub.
4. This equipment contains components which tend to produce arcs or
sparks. To prevent fire or explosion, do not install the PowerHub in
locations that require ignition-protected equipment. This includes any
space containing gasoline-powered machinery, fuel tanks, as well as
joints, fittings, or other connections between components of the fuel
system.
5. To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and
those published by the battery manufacturer.
6. Make sure that nothing is blocking the air vents on the back of the
enclosure.
7. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the batteries.
8. Use caution to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool on the batteries.
It could spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical parts and
could cause an explosion.
9. Remove all personal metal items, like rings, bracelets, and watches
when working with batteries. Batteries can produce a short circuit
current high enough to weld metal, causing a severe burn.
WARNING
BURN FROM HIGH SHORT-CIRCUIT CURRENT, FIRE AND
EXPLOSION FROM VENTED GASES HAZARDS
• Always wear proper, non-absorbent gloves, complete eye protection, and
clothing protection. Avoid touching your eyes and wiping your forehead
while working near batteries. See note #13.
• Remove all personal metal items, like rings, bracelets, and watches when
working with batteries. See notes #8 and #9 below.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the engine or batteries.
Failure to follow these instructions can result on death or serious injury.
