# Step 1: Safety check

Before touching anything, please confirm the following:

- ✅ Your AC and DC breakers are accessible.
- ✅ Your hands and any tools are completely dry.
- ✅ There are no exposed wires visible near the equipment.

* * *

# Step 2: Turn off the battery DC disconnect

- Locate the **Battery Disconnect Switch** on your battery enclosure.
- Slide it to the **OFF** position.

* * *

# Step 3: Shut down the inverter

- On the inverter's control panel, press **"Shutdown.**
- Wait until the display confirms that the inverter is off before moving on.

* * *

# Step 4: Wait 30–60 seconds

This allows any residual voltage to safely dissipate before you restart the system and ensures all capacitors discharge safely.

* * *

# Step 5: Restart the system

- Slide the **Battery Disconnect Switch** back to **ON**.
- Power the inverter back on using the control panel.
- Wait for the system to report **normal operation** before proceeding.

* * *

# Step 6: Confirm everything is working

✅ Check that the LED lights or display show **normal operation**.
✅ If your solar panels are connected, verify that energy is flowing as expected.
✅ Note any warning messages or fault codes you see.

**Important Safety Reminders:**

- Only qualified personnel should access internal components.
- These steps are for troubleshooting and system resets — not routine daily use.
- Always use external breakers and disconnects when possible to avoid exposure to high voltage.
