WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Only devices designed for use in this type
of outlet should be inserted into any
12 Volt outlet.
• Do not touch with wet hands.
• Close the lid when not in use and while
driving the vehicle.
• If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause
an electric shock and failure.
CAUTION!
• Many accessories that can be plugged in
draw power from the vehicle's battery, even
when not in use (i.e., cellular phones,
etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long
enough, the vehicle's battery will discharge
sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or
prevent the engine from starting.
• Accessories that draw higher power (i.e.,
coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will
degrade the battery even more quickly.
Only use these intermittently and with
greater caution.
CAUTION!
• After the use of high power draw accesso-
ries, or long periods of the vehicle not
being
started (with accessories still
plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a
sufficient length of time to allow the gen-
erator to recharge the vehicle's battery.
Power Inverter — If Equipped
There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt inverter outlet
located on the back of the center console to
convert DC current to AC current. This outlet
can power cellular phones, electronics and
other low power devices requiring power up to
150 Watts. Certain high-end video game con-
soles exceed this power limit, as will most power
tools.
The power inverter is designed with built-in
overload protection. If the power rating of
150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter au-
tomatically shuts down. Once the electrical de-
vice has been removed from the outlet the
inverter should automatically reset. To avoid
overloading the circuit, check the power ratings
on electrical devices prior to using the inverter.
