Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT: READ AND SAVE THIS OWNER’S GUIDE
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
This chapter contains important safety and installation instructions for the
Freedom SW Inverter/Charger (Freedom SW). Each time, before using the
Freedom SW, READ ALL instructions and cautionary markings on or
provided with the inverter/charger, the batteries, and all appropriate sections
of this guide.
NOTE: The Freedom SW contains no user-serviceable parts.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
• Do not expose the Freedom SW to rain, snow, spray, or bilge water.
This inverter/charger is designed for marine applications only when
additional drip protection is installed in certain orientations. See the
installation guide for information.
• Do not operate the inverter/charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, has cracks or openings in the enclosure including if the
AC terminal cover has been lost, damaged, or will not close, or
otherwise damaged in any other way.
• Do not disassemble the inverter/charger. Internal capacitors remain
charged after all power is disconnected.
• Disconnect both AC and DC power from the inverter/charger before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning or working on any circuits
connected to the inverter/charger. The INVERTER ENABLE button
on the front panel does not function like a power switch that energizes
or de-energizes the unit arbitrarily. When AC and DC power sources
are connected and present, the unit is always energized.
• Do not operate the inverter/charger with damaged or substandard
wiring. Make sure that all wiring is in good condition and is not
undersized.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious
injury.
