SAFETY INFORMATION WF-5300 Series Pure Sine Wave Inverter
Before operating the inverter, familiarize yourself with all safety precautions outlined in this
manual. Installing or testing inverters can present a safety hazard since there can be multiple
sources of high energy.
• Avoid contact with electrical terminals or exposed wiring when the inverter is operational.
• Turning the inverter o does not disconnect the batteries or ac power source. The ac output will
still be active if there is any other power source, such as shore power.
• Before working on an inverter, carefully check that the inverter is NOT connected to any
batteries, and that all wiring is disconnected from any electrical sources, including shore power
and generator inputs.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING WITH BATTERIES
• Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working
with a battery. Batteries can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or similar
item to metal causing a severe burn.
• Be very careful when working near exposed battery terminals. Do not drop a metal tool on the
battery. The resulting spark or short-circuit on the battery or other electrical part may cause a re
or explosion.
• If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters an
eye, immediately wash eyes with running cold water for at least 20 minutes and get medical
attention immediately.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or ame in vicinity of a lead-acid battery.
