BATTERY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
1. Use only sealed VRLA AGM type batteries specified by Gen/Tran in the Silent Generator™ Power System. Use of any other batteries
could create a hazardous situation and will void the warranty.
2. To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those 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 Silent Generator™ System.
4. This equipment contains components which tend to produce arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or explosion, do not install in locations that
require ignition-protected equipment. This includes any space containing gasoline-powered machinery, fuel tanks, fuel lines as well as
joints, fittings, or other connections between components of the fuel system.
5. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the batteries.
6. 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.
