3 Safety Instructions

Observe and follow the safety instructions given below when handling the sun | powerpack
battery system as well as its components.

3.1 General Safety Instructions

DANGER!
Metallic parts of the batteries are always live. Do not short-circuit the batteries. Very high values of
current may flow and cause burn injuries in case of a short-circuit. Touching electrically conducting
parts may cause cardiac arrhythmia and shock.
• Please be very careful when doing any work on the batteries in order to prevent severe injuries
caused by electrical shocks or burns.
• Never place tools or other metallic objects on a battery.
• Be sure to remove watches and jewellery before doing any work on the batteries.
• Do not touch any exposed battery parts, jumpers, terminals or poles!
DANGER!
Work on the batteries, and in particular their installation and maintenance, should be carried out
only by trained specialists who are well-versed in working with batteries and who are aware of the
necessary safety precautions.
RISK OF EXPLOSION!
Explosive hydrogen-oxygen gas mixture may get discharged from lead-acid batteries. If this mixture
explodes, it may cause severe personal injuries.
• Always wear the prescribed protective clothing
• Only use proper tools ("non-sparking", with insulated grips etc.)
• Prevent any ignition sources such as sparks, flames or electric arcs.
• Prevent electrostatic discharge; wear cotton clothing and earth yourself if necessary when
working directly on the batteries.
RISK OF EXPLOSION!
Never clean batteries with leather dusters or dry cloths made of artificial fibres. Risk of electro-
static charge and electrolytic gas explosion. We recommend the use of slightly damp cotton or
paper towels for cleaning the batteries.
CAUTION!
Keep children away from the battery system.
ATTENTION!
If proper and regular maintenance is not carried out on the batteries, then it may not be possible
to guarantee the safety and reliability of the power supply in the event of an emergency.
Observe and follow this installation and operating manual and keep it such that it is easily visible
at the installation site of the battery system.
