When charging is completed, ensure that the charger switch is in the OFF position. This will prevent
the LED from draining the battery.

back of the unit.

OUTPUT POWER: 220Vac power is taken from the 2 pin sockets on the front panel.
Connect an appliance eg. Hair Clippers , to the 2 pin socket. Turn the Inverter Switch on.
SOLAR OPERATION: A solar panel can be connected to the system while the system is in use.
This will increase the runtime of the unit.

month.

5. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS:
Wear complete eye protection, clothing protection and wear rubber soled shoes. When the ground is
very wet or covered in snow, wear rubber boots. Avoid touching the eyes while working with
batteries.
Battery acid is corrosive. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and
water or a solution of Bicarbonate of Soda and water. If acid enters the eye, immediately flush eye
with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and then consult a doctor.
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of a battery.
Be careful not to drop a metal tool onto the battery. It might spark or short circuit the battery or other
electrical part that may cause an explosion.
Before working with any battery, remove any jewellery. A battery can produce a short-circuit
current high enough to weld such items causing severe burns.
NEVER charge a frozen battery – thaw it out first. Charging will then be safer and more efficient.
