DANGER! - Beware, lead-acid batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery operation.
Wash immediately with soap and water if battery acid contacts skin or clothing. If acid enters eye, flush immediately with cool
clean running water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
DO NOT smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.
If the battery terminals are corroded or dirty, clean them before attaching the clips.
WARNING! To prevent the risk of sparking, short circuit and possible explosion DO NOT drop metal tools in the battery area,
or allow them to touch the battery terminals.
Before attaching to battery, remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead acid
battery can produce a short-circuit current which is high enough to weld such items to the vehicle and cause severe burns.
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.
WARNING! DO NOT use on any vehicles other than those with 12Volt DC systems.
WARNING! For delicate items such as laptops, an anti-surge device is recommended.
DO NOT connect to any AC power source.
DO NOT disassemble. The inverter must be checked by qualified service personnel only.
DO NOT get inverter wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation.
DO NOT use the inverter for any purpose other than for which it is designed.
DO NOT pull the cables or clips from the battery terminals.
DO NOT operate the inverter if damaged.
DO NOT connect to a positive earthed system. Ensure you have the polarity correct before connecting, red clip to positive (+)
battery terminal and black clip to negative (-) battery terminal.
Before connecting ensure nothing is plugged into the inverter, and the inverter is switched OFF.
WARNING! Inverters become hot during use.
When not in use store inverter in a safe, dry, childproof location.
