DO Not use inverters with the above types of equipment. The majority of portable
appliances do not have this problem. Most portable appliances use separate
transformers or chargers that plug into AC receptacles to supply a low-voltage DC
or AC output to the appliance. If the appliance label states that the charger or
adapter produces a low-voltage DC or AC output (30 volts or less), there should be
no problem powering that charger or adapter.
Check operating temperature of small motors. If the motor operates at much higher
than normal temperature there may be an incompatibility problem. Discontinue use
and compare temperatures while operating the appliance from commercial AC power.

TO ESTIMATE THE POWER CONSUMPTION OF APPLIANCE MULTIPLY CURRENT
RATING OF APPLIANCE BY 120VAC. TO USE THE MAXIMUM OUTPUT OF
1500WATTS, MAXX 1500 MODELS MUST BE CONNECTED TO A DC POWER
SUPPLY CAPABLE OF CONTINUOUSLY PROVIDING 150 OR MORE AMPS.
OPERATION WITH AC APPLIANCES
Turn On the inverter using the ON/Off Switch and observe that the indicators are in
the following condition:
POWER LED is lit. Plug in the appliance and turn it on, it should operate normally.
NOTES: Ensure that the total continuous power consumption of all tools and/or
appliances connected to the inverter (and in use) does not exceed 1500watts.
If a motorized appliance immediately shuts down, and the FAULT LED is lit, try
rocking the On/Off switch back and forth a few times while the appliance is plugged
in and turned on. See Trouble shooting section if this does not work.
