It could spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical parts and

could cause an explosion.

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
