that meets the following requirements Dry
– Do not allow water to drip on or
enter into the inverter.
Cool
– Ambient air temperature should be between 0and 40, the cooler the
better.
Safe
– Do not install the inverter in a battery compartment or other areas
where flammable fumes may exist, such as fuel storage areas or engine
compartments.
Ventilated
–Keep the inverter a distance (as least 1 inch) away from
surrounding things.Ensure the ventilation shafts on the rear and the bottom of
the unit are not obstructed.
