Carefully read and strictly comply with all safety directives. Otherwise, personal bodily injury or death
may result.
Follow these directives for safe use:
• Caution: Only qualied personnel/technicians can install and service this device with or without
a battery.
• Before using the inverter, read the instructions and warning signs for the Lithium battery and all
relevant sections in the instruction manual.
• Do not disassemble the inverter. If you need maintenance or repair, take it to a professional
service center. Improper reassembly may result in electric shock or re and will void the
warranty.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect all wires before performing maintenance or cleaning.
Turning off the unit alone does not reduce this risk.
• For optimum performance of the inverter, follow the specications when selecting the
appropriate cable size. It is very important to correctly operate the inverter.
• Be very cautious when using metal tools near the battery. Dropping a tool on or in the unit may
cause a spark or short circuit in the battery or other electrical parts, and may even cause an
explosion.
• Strictly follow the installation procedure when disconnecting the AC or DC terminals. Refer to the
Installation section of this manual for details.
• Grounding instructions: Connect the inverter to a permanent, grounded wiring system. Be sure to
comply with local requirements and regulations when installing the inverter.
• Do not connect to the mains when there is a short circuit in the DC input.
• This system includes heavy equipment. Use lifting assistance during installation.
