is unavoidable to extend these wires, use a wire gauge of at least 1.5 times larger than
the ones supplied with the inverter. Maximum recommended battery wire length is
approx. 3 meters.

2.4.1 General precautions about working with batteries

1. Working in vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries can generate
explosive gases during operation. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity
of a battery. Provide sufficient ventilation around the battery.
2. Wear eye and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near
batteries. Wash your hands when done.
3. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If
acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 15
minutes and get medical attention immediately.
4. Be careful when using metal tools in vicinity of batteries. Dropping a metal tool onto
a battery might cause a shorted battery and an explosion.
5. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when
working with a battery. A battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to
weld a ring or the like to metal, causing severe burns.
THE RED WIRE MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE POSITIVE (+) TERMINAL
AND THE BLACK WIRE TO THE NEGATIVE (-) TERMINAL OF THE
BATTERY.
Reverse polarity connection of the battery wires can damage the
inverter! Damage caused by reversed polarity is not covered by the
CAUTION
warranty. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF '0' position before
connecting the battery.
