NOTE: Do not proceed with this section until the wiring checks mentioned in the previous section have been
performed.
NOTE: Refer to the appropriate Operators manual (SW or DR) for detailed inverter/charger operation.
Start-up Procedure:
1. Switch the Battery Disconnect(s) to the ON (upper) position. Check for correct inverter and controller (if
