The exclusive mounting (Patent Pending) is neat and convenient, maintaining the original single-unit integrity 

of the product.  

• Using the 

Power Force 150™

inverter with the 

INDUSTRIAL 900™ 

does not reduce the efficiency of either

device, 

or their portability.This combined unit provides the convenience of a 12-volt DC / 110-volt AC Power Supply and 
a completely portable, rechargeable emergency Jumpstart System, in one compact unit.

• The 

Power Force 150™

inverter can be stored permanently in place on the 

INDUSTRIAL 900™

, or stored sepa-

rately 

and quickly connected as needed.

• The

inverter can also be used independently of the 

INDUSTRIAL 900™

as a 110-volt AC

power 

supply (use in conjunction with your vehicle). For instructions, refer to the inverter ‘s full manual (supplied, when 
the inverter is purchased separately) or call Vector™ Customer Service Department at (954) 923-1155 to obtain

Inverter Works

8.4 Operating Tips
8.5 Troubleshooting

8.1 INTRODUCTION:
The 

Power Force 150™

supplies 150 watts of continuous power, with a 300 watt peak, in the form of a household-

type outlet that is ready to deliver 110-volt AC power whenever and wherever you need it! Simply plug  
the inverter directly into the 

INDUSTRIAL 900™

12-volt DC socket to provide 110-volt AC power for almost any

small household or electronic appliance including: color TVs (up to 10”); VCRs; portable radios/boom boxes/ 
CD players; laptop computers, printers, fax machines; camcorder, cellular phone and power tool chargers; lamps
(up to 100 watts); light duty power tools (up to 1.5amps); and much more. The inverter ‘s  AC receptacle is fully
marinized, weatherproof and fused. Added safety features include automatic shutdown and a low battery alarm 
to prevent damage to the unit ‘s main battery. 

CAUTION: RECHARGEABLE APPLIANCES

Certain rechargeable devices are designed to be recharged by plugging them directly into an AC receptacle. These
devices may damage the 

Power Force 150™

. When first using a rechargeable device, monitor its temperature for

the initial ten minutes of use to determine whether it emits excessive heat. If excessive heat is detected, it is a good
indication that the device should not be used with this inverter. This problem does not occur with the majority of 
battery-operated equipment. Most of these devices use a separate charger or transformer that is plugged into an
AC receptacle. The 

Power Force 150™

is easily capable of running most chargers and transformers. 

Table IV shows the estimated 110-volt AC operation times when using a fully-charged system.
