risk of Fire.  the positive battery terminal connection must 

be the lASt connection made and must be done with the 

inverter’s power switch off.
this inverter must only be connected to batteries with 

a nominal output voltage of 12 volts.  lower voltage will 

not operate the inverter properly, and more voltage could 

damage the inverter or the device being powered.  if more 

than one 12 volt battery is to be used, the batteries must 

be connected in a parallel circuit; batteries connected in a 

series circuit will produce too much voltage.

For the power inverter to work properly, your power source must provide 12 volts 

DC, and the power source must provide enough current (i.e., 4 amps to oper-

ate the load of 0 Watts or under).
