1.2. General Safety Precautions and Instructions
Warning:
The HAB™ is heavy, over 207 lb. (94 kg), and may cause serious back injury. Lift with
multiple people and lifting equipment rated to lift and support at least 210 lb.
• Do not attempt to use any battery that appears damaged during shipment or otherwise.
• Do not submerge the HAB™. This could cause personal injury and will void your warranty.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the HAB™. Its components are not user serviceable. This
could cause personal injury and will void your warranty.
• To avoid the risk of shock or fire, ensure all wire is properly sized and in good condition.
• Do not impact, pull, drag, or step on the HAB™.
• Verify that all equipment that is going to be connected to the HAB™ is turned off before
making any connections.
• A small risk of spark does exist while making connections. Ensure the area is free of
explosive gasses and liquids and is not installed in confined areas. This includes
flammable fuel powered machinery, holding tanks, pipe fittings, and connectors.
• Respiratory irritation may be caused if the HAB™ is punctured or cracked; use
appropriate respiratory and hand protection.
• Skin contact with a punctured or otherwise open battery can cause irritation.
• High voltage battery connections (configurations of greater than 36 V DC nominal) can
be dangerous in any DC system. The HAB™ is a 48 V nominal battery system and is
greater than 36 V DC at the terminals when fully charged! DC voltages over 52 V can
stop the human adult heart; please be careful and wear insulated gloves.
