c. Installation Environments
−The POWER INVERTER should be installed indoor only in a well
ventilated, cool, dry environment.
−Do not expose to moisture, rain, snow or liquids of any type.
−To reduce the risk of overheating and fire, do not obstruct the
suction and discharge openings of the cooling fan.
−To ensure proper ventilation, do not install in a low clearance
compartment.
d. Preventing Fire and Explosion Hazards
−Working with the POWER INVERTER may produce arcs or
sparks. Thus, the POWER INVERTER should not be used in
areas where there are inflammable materials or gases requiring
ignition protected equipment. These areas may include spaces
containing gasoline powered machinery, fuel tanks, battery
compartments.
e. Precautions When Working with Batteries
−Batteries contain very corrosive diluted sulphuric acid as
electrolyte. Precautions should be taken to prevent contact with
skin, eyes or clothing.
−Batteries generate hydrogen and oxygen during charging
resulting in evolution of explosive gas mixture. Care should be
taken to ventilate the battery are and follow the battery
manufacturer recommendation.
−Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the batteries.
−Use caution to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool on the
battery. It could spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical
parts and could cause an explosion.
−Remove metal items like rings, bracelets and watches when
working with batteries. The batteries can produce a short circuit
current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal and thus
cause a severe burn.
−If you need to remove a battery, always remove the ground
terminal from the battery first. Make sure that all the accessories
are off so that you do not cause a spark.
