General Safety Precautions for Sukam Inverter  Holders

General Safety Precautions for Sukam Inverter Holders :

• Do not expose the inverter to rain, snow, spray, bilge or dust. To reduce the risk of hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings. Do not install the inverter in a zero clearance compartment. Overheating may result.
• To avoid a risk of fire and/or electronic shock, make sure that existing wiring is in good condition and not undersized. Do not operate the inverter with damaged or substandard wiring.
• Some components in the inverter can cause arcs and sparks. To prevent fire or explosion, do not put batteries, flammable materials, or anything that should be ignition–protected around the inverter.

Precautions When Working with Batteries:

• If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, you must wash it out with soap and water immediately. If battery acid contacts your eyes, you must wash it out with cold running water for at least 20 minutes and get medical attention immediately.

• Never smoke or make a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or the engine.

• Do not drop a metal tool on the battery. The resulting spark or short-circuit on the battery or other electrical part may cause an explosion.

• Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when operating with a lead-acid batteries. Failure to do so may cause short circuit and very high temperature, which can melt metal items and burn your skin.
