Please read the installation and operating instructions carefully prior to use. Pay special attention to the
IMPORTANT
and
WARNING
statements in the manual.
WARNING:
The VertaMax produces the same potentially lethal AC power as normal household outlets. It is suggested
that you treat it with the same precautions as a normal 120 VAC outlet.
Do not operate the VertaMax near flammable fumes or gases, such as in the cabin of a gasoline powerboat,
or near propane tanks.
Never work or service the AC wiring without disconnecting the DC Input connections.
Do not connect or disconnect batteries while the Inverter is operating from the battery supply. Dangerous
arcing may result.

2 INSTALLATION
¾
Insure all terminating connections are clean and tight to prevent arcing and overheating.
¾
The VertaMax must be installed in an area that satisfies all of the following conditions:
1. Dry: Avoid any location where water can contact the inverter
2. Cool: Ambient air temperature between 30°F and 105°F (0°C and 40°C)
3. Ventilated: Allow at least 6 in (150 mm) of clearance above and below and at least 1 in (25 mm)
on each side for proper air flow.
4. Safe: Do not operate in a shared compartment with batteries or any flammable substances,
(e.g.: gasoline)
IMPORTANT:
To avoid fire, do not cover or obstruct ventilation openings.
