Important Safety Information
General precautions
1. Before using the inverter/charger, read all appropriate sections of
this guide and any cautionary markings on the inverter and the
batteries.
2. Use only a grounded AC extension cord when connecting to AC
input power (shorepower). Do not remove or attempt to defeat the
ground connection to any shorepower source in any way.
3. If possible, plug the inverter/charger into an AC source outlet that is
protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupting (GFCI) device;
either a breaker or outlet.
4. Do not operate the inverter/charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, or otherwise damaged. If the unit is damaged, return
it to your authorized Volvo dealer.
5. Do not dismantle the inverter/charger; it contains no user-
serviceable parts. Attempting to service the unit yourself could
cause electrical shock or fire. Internal capacitors remain charged
after all power is disconnected.
6. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn off the inverter/charger
from the remote switch, then disconnect both AC (shorepower) and
DC (battery) power from the unit before working on any circuits
connected to it. Turning off the remote On/Off switch alone will not
reduce this risk.
Precautions when working with batteries
1. Follow all instructions published by the battery manufacturer and
the manufacturer of the equipment in which the battery is installed.
2. Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.
