Environmental Concerns
In the event the Inverter needs to be disposed of, its aluminum casing is easily recyclable as are any
stripped-out internal metal and plastic parts. All circuit boards and electronic components should be
disposed or recycled in accordance with local environmental laws.
Inverter Maintenance
Following exposure to salt water, rinse all exposed surfaces to prevent corrosion. Recoat the DC lugs •
and other exposed conductors with dielectric grease.
Periodically check that the battery cable lugs are tight and secure, using recommended torque settings.•
Brush o excessive dust from the Inverter as needed.•
Check that all fasteners are tight.•
If the Inverter is not operating:•
Use a meter to verify the DC battery voltage at the Inverter terminals.•
Measure and verify the AC current at the Inverter output terminals.•
Swap the MATE or cable with another, particularly if the unit works and the MATE does not.•
Call OutBack Technical Support for further assistance or repairs. Being heavily sealed, •
the Inverter is not user-serviceable.
