A:  Fan: 

Do not obstruct, allow at least 12 inch for air flow.

 

B:  Battery terminals: 

Connect to 12V battery (s) or other DC  power source. "+" is positive & " - " is 

negative.  Reverse polarity connection will blow internal fuse and may damage inverter permanently. 
Make sure you check your input voltage and do not REVERSE POLARITY! 

This will void the warranty.

 

 

C:  Chassis ground lug: Connect to earth ground or to vehicle chassis using #8 AWG wire. 

Warning! Operation of the inverter without a proper ground connection may result in an electrical 
safety hazard.

 

 

QUICK HOOK-UP AND TESTING 

If you would like to quickly hook-up the power inverter and check its performance before going ahead 
with your installation, please follow these guidelines: 

1.  Unpack and inspect the power inverter, check to see that the power switch is in the OFF position. 

2.  Before you connect the battery cables, make sure the power switch is in the off position. Connect 
Red (+) battery cable to Red (+) inverter terminal. Connect Black (-) battery cable to Black (-) inverter 
terminal. Connect Red (+) battery cable to Red (+) battery terminal. Connect Black (-) battery cable to 
Black (-) battery terminal. Alligator clamp cables may be used but only to connect to the battery. Do not 
use clamps on inverter terminals. Alligator clamps are not a permanent solution. You may see a spark 
during connection. 

Do not reverse the polarity. 

This may damage the inverter and void warranty. 

Caution!

 Loosely tightened connectors result in excessive voltage drop and may cause overheated wires 

and melted insulation. Reverse polarity connection will blow a fuse in inverter and may permanently 
damage the inverter. Damage caused by reverse polarity connection is not covered by our warranty. 

Warning! You may observe a spark when you make this connection since current may flow to charge 
capacitors in the power inverter. Do not make this connection in the presence of flammable fumes, as 
explosion or fire may result. 

3.  Set the power switch to the on position. Check the meters and indicators on the

 

front panel 

of the inverter. The voltage bar graph should indicate 11 to 14 volts depending on the voltage 
of the power source. If it does not, check your power source and the connections to inverter.
