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

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.
