WARNING

Warnings identify conditions that could result in personal

injury or loss of life.

CAUTION

Cautions identify conditions or practices that could result in

damage to the XPower Plus or other equipment.

Important: These notes describe an important action item or an item

that you must pay attention to.

Note:Notes describe additional information which may add to your

understanding of how to use the inverter.

Important Safety Information

General Precautions

1. Before installing and using the inverter, read all appropriate sections

of this guide as well as all instructions and cautionary markings on

the inverter and the batteries.

2. Do not operate the inverter if it has received a sharp blow, been

dropped, or otherwise damaged. If the unit is damaged, see

“Warranty” on page D–2 and “Return Material Authorization

Policy” on page D–3.

3. Do not disassemble the inverter. It contains no user-serviceable

components. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel only.

Attempting to service the unit yourself could cause electrical shock

or fire. Internal capacitors remain charged after all power is

disconnected.

4. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect AC and DC power

from the inverter before working on any circuits connected to the

inverter. Turning off the On/Off Switch will not reduce this risk.

5. Do not expose the inverter to rain, snow, spray, or bilge water.

Important: Before installing and using your XPower Plus, be sure

to read these safety instructions and keep them handy.

CAUTION

Do not connect any AC load that has its neutral conductor

connected to ground to the XPower Plus.

CAUTION

Do not connect the AC output of this inverter to any other

source of power such as an electrical panel which itself

may be AC powered from a utility generator or other

source. Damage may occur.

Important Safety Information

6. To reduce the risk of overheating or fire, do not obstruct the

ventilation openings, and do not install the inverter in a zero-

clearance compartment.

Explosive Gas Precautions

1. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal operation. Be sure

to read this guide and follow the instructions exactly before

installing or using your inverter.

2. This equipment contains components which tend to produce arcs or

sparks. To prevent fire or explosion, do not install the inverter in

compartments containing batteries or flammable materials or in

locations that require ignition-protected equipment. This includes

any space containing gasoline-powered machinery, fuel tanks, as

well as joints, fittings, or other connections between components of

the fuel system.

Precautions When Working With Batteries

1. Follow all instructions published by the battery manufacturer and

the manufacturer of the equipment in which the battery is installed.

2. Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.

3. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the engine or batteries.

4. Use caution to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool on the

battery. It could spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical

parts and could cause an explosion.

WARNING: Explosion Hazard

WARNING: Explosion and Fire Hazard

Important Safety Information

vii

5. Remove metal items like rings, bracelets, and watches when

working with lead-acid batteries. Lead-acid batteries produce a

short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal,

and thus cause a severe burn.

6. If you need to remove a battery, always remove the ground terminal

from the battery first. Make sure all accessories are off so you don’t

cause a spark.

Precautions For Using Rechargeable Appliances

Most rechargeable battery-operated equipment uses a separate charger

or transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle and produces a low

voltage charging output.

Some chargers for small rechargeable batteries can be damaged if

connected to the XPower Plus. Do not use the following with the

XPower Plus:

• Small battery-operated appliances like flashlights, razors, and night

lights that can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle to

recharge.

• Some chargers for battery packs used in power hand tools. These

affected chargers display a warning label stating that dangerous

voltages are present at the battery terminals.

Note:If you are unsure about using your rechargeable appliance

with the XPower Plus, contact the equipment manufacturer to find

out if there are high voltages at the battery terminals or if the

appliance incorporates the use of transformers.
