Preventing Fire and explosion Hazards
Working with the inverter may produce arcs or sparks. Thus, the 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.
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 area and follow battery manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the batteries.
• Use caution to reduce 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. batteries can produce short circuit current high enough to weld a
ring or the like to metal causing a severe burn.
• If you need to remove a battery, always remove the Negative terminal from the
battery first.
Make sure that all the accessories are off so that you do not cause a spark.
