Danger to life from electric shock due to damaged Sunny Island
Operating a damaged Sunny Island can lead to hazardous situations that result in death or serious injuries due to
electric shock.
• Only operate the Sunny Island when it is technically faultless and in an operationally safe state.
• Regularly check the Sunny Island for visible damage.
• Make sure that all external safety equipment is freely accessible at all times.
• Make sure that all safety equipment is in good working order.
Danger to life due to explosive gases
Explosive gases may escape from the battery and cause an explosion. This can result in death or serious injury.
• Protect the battery environment from open flames, embers or sparks.
• Install, operate and maintain the battery according to the manufacturer's specifications.
• Do not heat or burn the battery above the temperature permitted.
• Ensure that the battery room is sufficiently ventilated.
Chemical burns and poisoning caused by battery electrolytes
If handled inappropriately, battery electrolytes can cause chemical burns to eyes, respiratory system and skin, and be
poisonous. This may result in blindness and serious chemical burns.
• Protect the battery enclosure against destruction.
• Do not open or deform the battery.
• Whenever working on the battery, wear suitable personal protective equipment such as rubber gloves, apron,
rubber boots and goggles.
• Rinse acid splashes thoroughly with clear water for a long time and consult a doctor.
• Install, operate, maintain and dispose of the battery according to the manufacturer's specifications.
Risk of injury due to short-circuit currents
Short-circuit currents in the battery can cause heat build-up and electric arcs. Burns and eye injury due to flashes may
result.
• Remove watches, rings and other metal objects.
• Use insulated tools.
• Do not place tools or metal parts on the battery.
Risk of crushing injuries due to movable generator parts
Moving parts in the generator can crush or sever body parts. A generator can be started automatically by the Sunny
Island.
• Only operate the generator with the safety equipment.
• Install, maintain, and operate the generator according to the manufacturer standards.
Risk of burns due to hot components
Some components of the Sunny Island can become very hot during operation. Touching these components can result
in burn injuries.
• Do not touch any parts other than the Sunny Island enclosure lid during operation.
• When the Sunny Island is open, do not touch hot surfaces.
