                        Important Safety Information Important: Before installing and using your XPower Plus, be sure  to read these safety instructions and keep them handy. CAUTION Do not connect any AC load that has its neutral conductor  connected to ground to the XPower Plus. CAUTION Do not connect the AC output of this inverter to any other  source of power such as an electrical panel which itself  may be AC powered from a utility generator or other  source. Damage may occur. General Precautions 1. Before installi

                        Important Safety Information 6. To reduce the risk of overheating or fire, do not obstruct the  ventilation openings, and do not install the inverter in a zero- clearance compartment. Explosive Gas Precautions WARNING: Explosion Hazard 1. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal operation. Be sure  to read this guide and follow the instructions exactly before  installing or using your inverter. 2. This equipment contains components which tend to produce arcs or  sparks.

                        Important Safety Information 5. Remove metal items like rings, bracelets, and watches when  working with lead-acid batteries. Lead-acid batteries produce a  short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal,  and thus cause a severe burn. 6. If you need to remove a battery, always remove the ground terminal  from the battery first. Make sure all accessories are off so you don’t  cause a spark.
