NOTES:
1. Follow these instructions and those published by the battery
manufacturer and the manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use
in the vicinity of the battery. Review cautionary markings on these
products and on the engine.
2. This inverter/charger contains components which tend to produce arcs
or sparks.
3. Locations include any space containing gasoline-powered machinery,
fuel tanks, as well as joints, fittings, or other connections between
components of the fuel system.
4. Freedom SW inverter/charger products are designed for deep cycle
lead-acid batteries only. Charging lithium-ion batteries are currently
not supported and doing so is an explosion hazard.
Lithium-ion battery cells are individually monitored for voltage and
temperature. The Freedom SW does not support this individual cell
monitoring on lithium-ion batteries.
FIRE AND BURN HAZARD
• Do not cover or obstruct the air intake vent openings and/or install in
a zero-clearance compartment.
• Do not use transformerless battery chargers in conjunction with the
inverter/charger due to overheating.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious
injury.
EXPLOSION HAZARD
• Charge only properly rated (such as 12 V) lead-acid (GEL, AGM,
Flooded, or lead-calcium) rechargeable batteries because other
battery types may explode.
• Do not work in the vicinity of lead-acid batteries. Batteries generate
explosive gases during normal operation. See note #1.
• Do not install and/or operate in compartments containing flammable
materials or in locations that require ignition-protected equipment.
See notes #2 and #3.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious
injury.
