PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

Someone should always be within range of your voice or close enough to
come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts
skin, clothing or eyes. Protective eyewear should always be worn when
working near lead-acid batteries.
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 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It
might spark or short circuit battery or other electrical part that may cause
explosion.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and
watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can
produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal
causing a severe burn.
NEVER connect your SOLAR power inverter to a frozen battery.
Extreme care must be taken to follow all applicable codes when working with
electricity.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

Assessing the Capacity of Your SOLAR Power Inverter to Power
a Specific Device
When you first switch on a powered tool or appliance that utilizes a motor,
that device requires an initial surge of power. This initial surge of power
required to start the device is referred to as the "peak power". After initial
start-up the device then requires less power to operate, which is referred to
as its "continuous power".
It is important that you determine both the "peak power" and "continuous
power" demands of any device you plan to operate using your power
inverter. The power demands of any particular device are usually stamped or
printed on the device and are usually expressed in either Wattage (Watts) or
