IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To ensure reliable service, your power inverter must be installed and used
properly. Please read the installation and operating instructions thoroughly prior
to installation and use. Pay particular attention to the WARNING and CAUTION
statements in this manual. The CAUTION statements advise against certain
conditions and practices that may result in damage to your inverter. The
WARNING statements identify conditions or practices that may result in personal
injury. Read All Instructions Before Using This Power Inverter!
WARNINGS:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR INJURY:
1. Do not connect to AC distribution wiring.
2. Remove appliance plug from outlet strip or turn off inverter before working on
the appliance. Multiple outlet power strips with switches and circuit breakers
only interrupt power to the “hot” receptacle terminals. The “neutral” terminals
remain powered with respect to the “ground” terminals.
3. Do not make any electrical connections or disconnections in areas
designated as IGNITION PROTECTED. This includes 12 V DC cigarette plug
connections, and terminal connections.
4. This is not a toy - keep away from children.
5. DO NOT install object into air vents.
CAUTIONS:
1. Do not use with positive ground electrical systems (the majority of modern
automobiles, RVs, trucks and boats are negative ground). Reverse polarity
connection will result in a blown fuse and may cause permanent
damage to the inverter.
2. This inverter will not operate high wattage appliances over the output power
limit or surge power limit.
3. Grounding the neutral will cause the inverter to shut down. Do not operate
this inverter if it is wet. Do not install in engine compartment – please install in
a well ventilated area.
4. This inverter is not tested for use with medical devices.
IMPORTANT CABLE INFORMATION
Substantial power loss and reduced battery operating time results from inverters
installed with cables that are not able to supply full power. Symptoms of low
battery power can result from cables that are either excessively long or an
insufficient gauge. The installer/operator should be especially aware of the
requirements to maintain secure, tight, water-resistant electrical connections
and to provide for strain relief for DC cables and appliance wiring. Cable
insulation must be the appropriate type for the environment.
