WARNING
Review the
“Important Safety Instructions‚” on page xv
before operating
the inverter•charger.
During charging, batteries may generate explosive gasses. Thoroughly
ventilate the area around the batteries and ensure that there are no sources of
flames or sparks in the vicinity.
Study all battery manufacturer’s precautions such as removing or not
removing cell caps while charging and recommended rates of charge.
NOTE
If you are charging a non-sealed battery, add distilled water to each cell until
battery acid reaches the level specified by the manufacturer. This helps prevent
over-heating and purges excessive gases from the cells. Do not overfill. For a
battery without cell caps, follow the manufacturer’s recharging instructions
carefully.
