1. Important Safety Information
Incorrect installation or misuse of the inverter may result in danger to the user or hazardous
conditions. We urge you to pay special attention to all CAUTION and WARNING statements. CAUTION
statements identify conditions or practices that may result in damage to other equipment. WARNING
statements identify conditions that may result in personal injury or loss of life.
WARNING! Shock hazard. Keep away from children.
The inverter generates the same potentially lethal AC power as a normal household wall outlet.
Treat it with the same respect that you would like AC outlet.
Do not insert foreign objects into the inverter’s AC outlet, fan or vent openings.
Do not expose the inverter to water, rain, snow or spray.
Do not under any circumstances, connect the inverter to utility power AC distribution wiring.
WARNING! Heated surface.
The inverter’s housing may become uncomfortably warm, reaching 140
℉
(60
℃
)under extended
high power operation. Ensure at least 2 inches (5cm) of air space is maintained on all sides of the
inverter. During operation, keep away from materials that may be affected by high temperatures.
WARNING! Explosion hazard.
Do not use the inverter in the presence of flammable fumes or gases, such as in the bilge of a
gasoline powered boat, or near propane tanks. Do not use the inverter in an enclosure containing
automotive-type, lead-acid batteries. These batteries, unlike sealed batteries, vent explosive
hydrogen gas, which can be ignited by sparks from electrical connections.
When working on electrical equipment always ensure someone is nearby to help you in an
emergency.
CAUTION!
Do not connect live AC power to the inverter’s AC outlets. The inverter will be damaged even if it is
switched OFF.
Do not connect any AC load, which has its neutral conductor connected to ground, to the inverter.
Do not expose the inverter to temperatures exceeding 104
℉
(40
℃
).
CAUTION! Do not use inverter with the following equipment.
Small battery operated product such as rechargeable flashlights, some rechargeable shavers, and
night-lights that are plugged directly into and ac receptacle to recharge.
Certain battery chargers for battery packs used in hand powered tools. These chargers will have
warning labels stating that dangerous voltages are present at the charger’s battery terminals.
Connect inverter only to batteries with a 12V DC nominal output. A battery with 6V nominal output
will not supply enough voltage and a battery with 36V/48V nominal output will DAMAGE THE
INVERTER.
