IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To ensure reliable service, your power inverter must be installed and used
properly. Please read the installation and operating instructions thoroughly
prior to installation and use. Pay particular attention to the WARNING and
CAUTION statements in this manual. The CAUTION statements advise
against certain conditions and practices that may result in damage to your
inverter. The WARNING statements identify conditions or practices that
may result in personal injury.
Read All Instructions Before Using This Power Inverter!
WARNINGS:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR INJURY:
1. Do not connect to AC distribution wiring.
2. Remove appliance plug from outlet strip or turn off inverter before
working on the appliance. Multiple outlet power strips with switches and
circuit breakers only interrupt power to the "hot" receptacle terminals. The
"neutral" terminals remain powered with respect to the "ground"
terminals.
3. Do not make any electrical connections or disconnections in areas
designated as IGNITION PROTECTED. This includes 12 volt DC plug
connections, and ring terminal connections.
4. This is not a toy - keep away from children.
CAUTIONS:
1. Do not use with positive ground electrical systems (the majority
of modern automobiles, RVs, trucks and boats are negative ground).
Reverse polarity connection will result in a blown fuse and may cause
permanent damage to the inverter and will void warranty.
2. This inverter will not operate high wattage appliances or equipment that
produce heat, such as hair dryers, microwave ovens and toasters.
3. Grounding the neutral will cause the inverter to shut down. Do not operate
this inverter if it is wet. Do not install in engine compartment - install in a well
ventilated area.
4. This inverter is not tested for use with medical devices.
IMPORTANT CABLE INFORMATION
Substantial power loss and reduced battery operating time results from
inverters installed with cables that are not able to supply full power. Symptoms of
low battery power can result from cables that are either excessively long or an
insufficient gauge. The installer/operator should be especially aware of the
requirements to maintain secure, tight, water-resistant electrical connections and to
provide for strain relief for DC cables and appliance wiring. Cable insulation must
be the appropriate type for the environment.
