IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SERVICING BATTERIES
A. Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel
knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions.
Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.
B. When replacing batteries, use the same model and manufacturer of batteries.
C. CAUTION — Do not dispose of battery or batteries
in a fire. The battery may explode.
D. CAUTION — Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte
is harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.
E. CAUTION — A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and
high short-circuit current. The following precautions should
be observed when working with batteries:
1. Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
2. Use tools with insulated handles.
3. Wear rubber gloves and boots.
4. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
5. Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting
battery terminals.
6. Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently
grounded, remove the source of ground. Contact with any part of a
grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood of such
shock will be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and
maintenance.
The following preventive maintenance routines should be
considered the minimum requirements; your installation and
site may require additional preventive maintenance to
assure optimal performance from your installed EPS 6000
UPS and associated equipment. These routines should be performed twice a year (more often
if required). We strongly recommend contracting MGE Customer Support Services for
preventive and remedial maintenance.
The technician or electrician performing preventive maintenance on the UPS must be familiar
with the indicators, controls, and operation of the UPS, as described in this manual.
