Basic Installation Procedures
This guide for use by qualified installers only.
12. Before proceeding, double check that the cable you have just installed
connects the positive DC terminal of the inverter to the disconnect/
battery selector switch, fuse holder, and that the other end of the fuse
holder is connected to the positive terminal of the battery.
13. Connect the cable from the negative post of the battery to the negative
DC terminal of the inverter.
14. Install the lock washer and nut that are supplied. Tighten the nut to a
torque of 108–120 in-lbf (12.2–13.6 N-m). Make the connection snug
enough so the ring terminal does not move around on the DC terminal,
but do not overtighten.
15. Slip the DC terminal covers over the Freedom HF DC terminals.
REVERSE POLARITY DAMAGE
DC power connections to the Freedom HF must be positive to positive
and negative to negative.
A reverse polarity connection (positive to negative) will blow a fuse in
the inverter and may permanently damage the inverter. The fuse is not
user replaceable and the inverter may need to be returned for servicing.
Damage caused by a reverse polarity connection is not covered by your
warranty.
Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and/or
damage other equipment.
FIRE HAZARD
Do not complete the next step if flammable fumes are present. Explosion
or fire may result if the disconnect/battery selector switch is not in the off
position. Thoroughly ventilate the battery compartment before making
this connection.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious
injury.
