To avoid over-discharging your vehicle’s battery, you 
should run your engine for 10-20 minutes to 

recharge the vehicle’s battery after 

1-2

 hours of 

operating the inverter.

x

If you choose to connect the inverter directly to your 
battery terminals, it is important to connect with right 

polarity (connect

CAUTION:

THE FOLLOWINGS OPERATION WILL DAMAGE AND 
VOID THE WARRANTY OF THE INVERTER: 

x

REVERSE POLARITY BY CONNECTING THE 
WIRES TO THE INCORRECT TERMINALS.

x

CONNECTING THE BATTERY CHARGER TO 
REPLENISH BATTERY WITHOUT
DISCONNECTING THE INVERTER FIRST. 

x

CONNECTING THE INVERTER TO POWER 
SOURCE GREATER THAN 15-VOLT DC.

x

OPERATING THE INVERTER AND BATTERY IN 
OR AROUND WATER. 

MEASURING THE AC VOLTAGE 

The output waveform of the AC inverter is a MODIFIED
SINEWAVE. To measure the AC output voltage, you 
must use a TRUE RMS VOLTMETER.

SAFETY PRECAUTION 

Do not open the case of the inverter.  The high voltage
inside the unit is the same type of power as your 
electrical outlets at home. 

Do not let the cord of the inverter or any appliance’s cord 
get wet.

Do not operate the inverter in or around water.  The 
voltage of the unit makes electrical shock hazard if 
operated in wet conditions.

Do not connect the AC inverter directly to another AC 
power source.

Keep it away from children, the inverter produces power
just like your AC wall outlets at home and should be 
treated seriously.

Allow at least 1 inch of clearance around the inverter for
airflow.

If you operate the inverter in a moving vehicle, you need 
to secure the inverter to prevent it from shifting around
while the vehicle is moving.

If there is anything wrong with the inverter, disconnect all 
of the power.
