Go Power! Modified Sine Wave Inverter 

Owner’s Manual 

 

 

5.  Connect the cable from the negative terminal of the inverter to the negative terminal 

of the battery. Make a secure connection. 

 

Loose connections result in excessive voltage drop and may cause 
overheated wires and melted insulation. Ensure connections are tight. 

6.  Before proceeding further, carefully check that the cable you have just connected is 

going from the negative terminal of inverter to the negative output terminal of the 
power source (battery). 

7.  Install the inverter fuse into the positive lead. Fuse 

should be located within 12” 

(31 cm) of battery. Ensure all connections are tight and secure. 

8.  Connect the cable from the positive terminal of inverter to the positive terminal of the 

battery. Make a secure connection. Check your polarity. 

 

This inverter cannot supply power to any AC distribution wiring or AC 
loads in which the neutral and ground are connected (bonded). Doing so 
will destroy the unit and void the warranty. If you do not understand 
neutral to ground bonding then please have a professional install your 
system for you. See “Grounding” for more information. 

9.  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 V depending on 
the voltage of the power source. If it is does not, check your battery bank and the 
connections to the inverter. The other indicators should be OFF. 

10.  Set the power inverter switch to the OFF position. The indicator lights may blink and 

the internal alarm may sound momentarily. This is normal. Plug the test load into the 
AC receptacle on the front panel of the inverter. 

11.  Set the power inverter switch to the ON position and turn the test load on; the inverter 

should supply power to the load. If you plan to measure the output voltage of the 
inverter, a true RMS meter must be used for accurate readings.
