5 Important Safety Information
WARNING
This manual contains important instructions for all Power Pak models that must be followed during
installation, operation and maintenance. Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage, fire, injury
or death.
5.1 General safety precautions
All components and connections of the Power Pak are ULc certified; however safety precautions must be
followed when handling any electrical equipment. Please read and understand the following section.
Do not expose the Power Pak to rain, snow, spray, bilge or dust. To reduce risk of hazard, do not cover or
obstruct the ventilation openings. Do not install the Power Pak in a zero-clearance compartment. Overheating
may result. Allow at least 30 cm (11.81 inches) of clearance around the Power Pak for air flow. Make sure that
the air can circulate freely around the unit.
To avoid a risk of fire and electronic shock. Make sure that existing wiring is in good electrical condition; and
that wires are not undersized. Do not operate the Power Pak with damaged or undersized wiring.
This equipment contains components which can produce electrical arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or explosion
do not install in compartments containing flammable materials or in locations which require ignition-
protected equipment. This includes any space containing gasoline-powered machinery, fuel tanks, or joints,
fittings, or other connection between components of a fuel system.
Do not disassemble the Power Pak. It contains no user serviceable parts and disassembly will void the
warranty. Attempting to service the Power Pak yourself may result in a risk of electrical shock or fire. Internal
capacitors remain charged after all power is disconnected. See Warranty for instructions on obtaining service.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect both AC and DC power from the Power Pak before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.
CAUTION - Equipment damage:
The output side of the inverter’s AC wiring should at no time be connected to grid power or a generator. This
condition is far worse than a short circuit. If the unit survives this condition, it will shut down until corrections
are made.
