CAUTION!
Reverse polarity of input connection will blow the
fuse inside the inverter and may cause permanent
damage. Please ensure that the RED positive
terminal is connected to the positive(+) terminal of
the battery and the WHITE negative (-) terminal
is connected to the negative (-) terminal of the
battery. Damage due to reverse polarity is
not covered by warranty.
4.1
Ensure that the power ON/OFF switch is turned off.
4.2
Place the inverter in a cool & ventilated space. Ensure that there is
at least 10cm of open space around the inverter. Do not block the
openings on the inlet side of the cooling fan and the vent holes.
4.3
T
he color coded input side cable provided with the inverter is used to
connect the inverter to the battery. The red wire is positive (+) and the black
wire is negative (-). Pin type connectors connect to the inverter and the alligator
clips connect to the battery. Connect the pin on the red wire to the RED (+)
terminal of the inverter and the pin on the black wire to the WHITE (-) terminal
of the inverter. Now connect the black wire to the negative (-) terminal of the
battery and then the red wire to the positive (+) terminal of the battery. A
spark may be observed when connecting the positive wire to the
battery (+) due to charging of capacitors inside the inverter.
This is normal.
4.4
Ground the inverter using the Grounding Lug at the rear of the unit.
