Important Safety Information

General Precautions

1. Before installing and using the inverter, read all

appropriate sections of this guide and any cautionary

markings on the inverter and the batteries.

2. Do not operate the inverter if it has received a sharp

blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged. If the unit is

damaged, see “Warranty” on page 42 and “Return

Material Authorization Policy” on page 43.

3. Do not dismantle the inverter; it contains no user

serviceable parts. Attempting to service the unit yourself

could cause electrical shock or fire. Internal capacitors

remain charged after all power is disconnected. See

page 43 for instructions on obtaining service.

4. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect both

AC and DC power from the inverter before working on

any circuits connected to the inverter. Turning off the

front panel On/Off will not reduce this risk.

5. Protect the inverter from rain, snow, spray, and bilge

water.

6. To reduce the risk of overheating or fire, keep the

ventilation openings clear, and do not install the inverter

in a zero-clearance compartment.

WARNING

Before installing and using your PROwatt™ 600

Inverter, read and save these safety instructions.

Explosive Gas Precautions

viii

Explosive Gas Precautions

1. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal

operation. Be sure you follow all relevant instructions

exactly before installing or using your inverter.

2. This equipment contains components which tend to

produce arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or explosion, do

not install the inverter in compartments containing

batteries or flammable materials or 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.

Precautions When Working With Batteries

1. Follow all instructions published by the battery

manufacturer and the manufacturer of the equipment in

which the battery is installed.

2. Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.

3. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the engine or

battery.

4. 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.

5. Remove metal items like rings, bracelets, and watches

when working with lead-acid batteries. These batteries

produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring

or the like to metal, and thus cause a severe burn.

6. If you need to remove a battery, always remove the

positive terminal from the battery first. Make sure all

accessories are off so you don’t cause an arc.

Precautions For Using Rechargeable Appliances

Precautions For Using Rechargeable

Appliances

Most battery-operated equipment uses a separate charger or

transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle and

produces a low voltage output. If the label on the AC adapter

or charger states that the adapter or charger produces a low

voltage AC or DC output (less than 30 volts), the PROwatt

can power this charger or adapter safely.

Some rechargers for small nickel-cadmium batteries can be

damaged if connected to the PROwatt 600 Inverter. Do not

use the following with the PROwatt 600 Inverter:

• Small battery-operated appliances like flashlights, razors,

and night lights that can be plugged directly into an AC

receptacle to recharge

• Chargers for battery packs used in hand power tools.

These chargers display a warning label stating that

dangerous voltages are present at the battery terminals

AC Wiring Warning

Do not connect the PROwatt 600 Inverter to AC distribution

wiring.

The PROwatt is designed to be connected directly to standard

electrical and electronic equipment. Do not connect it to

household or recreational vehicle AC distribution wiring. Do

not connect it to any AC load circuit in which the neutral

conductor is connected to ground (earth) or to the negative of

the DC (battery) source. Doing so will destroy the unit.
