IMPORTANT SAfETy INSTRUCTIONS

SAvE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Before  using  your  PID-760,  read  and  understand  this 

Owner’s Manual.
•  Keep the inverter well ventilated in order to properly dis-

perse heat generated while it is in use. Make sure there 

are several inches of clearance around the top and sides 

and do not block the slots of the inverter.

•  Make sure the inverter is not close to any potential source 

of flammable fumes, gases or clothing. 

•  Keep the inverter dry.
•  DO NOT allow the inverter to come into contact with rain or 

moisture.

•  DO NOT operate the inverter if you, the inverter, the device 

being operated or any other surfaces that may come in 

contact with any power source are wet. Water and many 

other liquids can conduct electricity, which may lead to 

serious injury.

•  Do not place the inverter on or near heating vents, radia-

tors or other sources of heat.

•  Do not place the inverter in direct sunlight. The ideal air 

temperature for operation is between 50° and 80°F.

•  Do not use the inverter near an open engine compartment.
•  Only connect the power inverter to a 12-volt battery ac-

cessory outlet or 12-volt battery. Make sure the AC plug 

connection is tight.
