Never attempt to operate the E R P1500-12 inverter from any power source other
than a 12 volt battery.
•
Always disconnect the inverter when not in use.
•
Always ensure the power cable terminal connections run Negative (-) to
Negative (-) and Positive (+) to Positive (+). Check these connections frequently
to make sure they remain secure. Use the heaviest gauge wire available to
connect the inverter to the power source. While connecting the inverter to the
power source, make certain that the inverter is positioned far away from any
potential source of flammable fumes or gases.
•
Always ground the inverter before operating it. Make certain the power
consumption of the appliance or equipment you wish to operate is compatible
with the capacity of the inverter. Do not exceed 1500 watts. When attempting to
operate battery chargers, monitor the temperature of the battery charger for
approximately 10 minutes. If the battery charger becomes abnormally warm,
disconnect it from the inverter immediately.
•
When operating the inverter with a battery that is connected to a vehicle, start the
engine every 30 to 60 minutes and let it run for approximately 20 minutes to
recharge the battery. In the event of a continuous audible alarm or automatic
shut down, turn the inverter OFF immediately. Do not restart the inverter until the
source of the problem has been identified and corrected.
•
To avoid battery drain, always disconnect the inverter when not in use. Do not
expose the inverter to rain or moisture.
•
Avoid placing the inverter near sources of heat or in direct sunlight.
•
While in use, make sure the inverter is properly ventilated. Do not operate the
inverter near flammable materials, fumes or gases.
