2.3 California Proposition 65

Batteries and battery components can expose you to lead and lead compounds, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

2.4 Safety Operations

• Do not expose the system to extreme temperatures. • Do not spray the air intake, ducts, or metal seams directly with water. • Avoid physical impacts to the battery and other system components to prevent damage. • Use only the system components provided with your system. • Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the mobile power system.

2.5 Forklift Safety

If the trailer can be moved with a forklift, it will have two “FORK LIFT” decals on the trailer frame, indicating where the forklift tines, or forks, should be positioned. When using a forklift to move the trailer, refer to Figure X-X and follow these requirements: ■ Position the forks so they will fit into the forking pockets under the trailer frame, as indicated. Each pocket consists of two loops. The forks must extend through both pairs of loops. ■ Ensure the forks extend past the battery box and fully support the trailer frame. Use fork extenders if necessary. ■ Do not place the forks under the trailer axle. ■ Ensure the forklift does not contact the solar trailer other than where the forks touch the frame. The solar panels are particularly susceptible to damage if the forklift touches them.

2.6 Lockout/Tagout

Both the battery breaker and the solar breaker need to be locked out and tagged out for safety

2.7 Inclement Weather

Your security trailer is designed to withstand outdoor elements, but extreme weather conditions require specific safety precautions to protect both the operator and the equipment.

2.7.1 High Wind

High winds pose the greatest risk to the stability of the trailer, particularly when the telescoping mast is deployed. • Know Your Wind Rating: Check the specific wind rating decal on your trailer’s mast. As a general rule, do not deploy or keep the mast extended in sustained winds exceeding 30 MPH (48 km/h) or if wind gusts are predicted to exceed the unit's rated capacity. • Stabilization is Mandatory: Never raise the mast without fully extending and locking all stabilizer jacks/outriggers. The trailer tires should be chocked, and the unit must be level. • Action Plan: If high winds are forecast, lower the mast immediately. If the trailer is already in high winds, clear the area around the trailer in case of tipping; do not attempt to lower the mast if it is swaying violently, as this can cause binding or injury.

2.7.2 Lightning & Electrical Storms

The telescoping mast can act as a lightning rod during a storm. • Stay Clear: If you hear thunder or see lightning, do not touch the trailer or the mast. Current from a nearby strike can travel through the metal chassis. • Preemptive Lowering: If a storm is approaching, lower the mast before the storm arrives. • During a Storm: If the mast is up and a storm is active, do not attempt to lower it. Seek shelter in a building or hard-topped vehicle and wait for the storm to pass.

2.7.3 Winter & Solar Panel Maintenance

Snow and ice accumulation on solar panels will block charging and can drain the batteries, causing the system to go offline. • Safe Removal: To clear snow from panels, use a soft foam-headed snow rake or a broom with soft bristles. • Avoid Damage: Never use metal shovels, ice scrapers, or abrasive tools on the solar panels. Scratching the glass surface can permanently reduce energy output. • Safety First: Attempt to clear snow from the ground using an extendable pole. Do not climb on the trailer if surfaces are icy or slippery.

2.7.4 Flood & Water

• Deployment Zone: Avoid deploying the trailer in low-lying areas prone to flash flooding. • Seals & Latches: Ensure all cabinet doors are tightly closed and latched to maintain the NEMA-rated weather seal. Water ingress can destroy the internal electronics and battery banks.

2.8 Emergency Procedures

These protocols outline emergency procedures for the Velociti SiteShield.

Safety Precautions · Safety First: Always prioritize the safety of yourself and others in any emergency. · Evacuation: In case of a serious emergency, evacuate the immediate area and call emergency services (fire department) immediately. · Training: Review this protocol with all personnel who may operate or maintain the system. Consider additional training on lithium-ion battery safety.

2.8.1 Fire

· Small Fire: If a small fire originates outside the battery enclosure (e.g., surrounding materials), attempt to extinguish it with a Class A fire extinguisher if safe to do so. Evacuate the area if the fire grows or you are unsure about using the extinguisher. · Battery Fire: If the fire appears to involve the battery enclosure itself, do not attempt to extinguish it yourself. Evacuate immediately and call emergency services. A Class-D fire extinguisher is required for a lithium fire. · General Actions: · If safe to do so, shut down the power from the MPS at the Master Power Switch. · Alert others in the vicinity to evacuate. · Do not move the system unless absolutely necessary.

2.8.2 Electrical Malfunction

· If the system exhibits sparking, unusual electrical behavior, overheating, or burning odors: o Shut down the system using the Master Power Switch o Unplug any connected devices. o If the problem persists, do not attempt to fix it yourself. Contact Velociti or a qualified technician.

2.8.3 Post-Emergency Actions

After any emergency, do not operate the system until a qualified technician has inspected and cleared it for safe use.

Report the incident to Velociti Inc. at (855) 233-7210. and document the details for future reference.
