1. Working in the vicinity of lead-acid batteries is dangerous. Batteries generate 

explosive gases during normal operation. Therefore, you must read this guide 
and follow the instructions exactly before installing or using your Freedom 10 
Inverter/Charger.

2. This equipment contains components that tend to produce arcs or sparks. To 

prevent fire or explosion, do not install the Freedom 10 Inverter/Charger in 
compartments containing batteries or flammable materials, or in locations that 
require ignition-protected equipment. This includes any space containing 
gasoline-powered machinery, fuel tanks, as well as joints, fittings, or other 
connections between components of the fuel system.

3. To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those 

published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of the equipment 
in which the battery is installed.

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.

3. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the engine or batteries.

4. Use caution to reduce the risk or dropping a metal tool on the battery. It could 

spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical parts and could cause an 
explosion.

5. Remove all 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 metal to skin, causing a severe burn.

6. Have someone within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid 

when you work near a lead-acid battery.

7. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, 

clothing, or eyes.
