Using the Battery Clip Wire Assembly
WARNING: Corrosive materials and energy
hazard
To reduce the risk of irritation and burns, wear protective
eyewear and clothing when you work with batteries.
Take special care to ensure that metal tools or personal
objects like rings or watches do not contact the battery
terminals.
WARNING: Fire hazard
The wires in most 12 volt sockets or power outlets are not
large enough for loads greater than 150 watts: they will
overheat and present a fire hazard.
For loads greater than 150 watts, connect the inverter
directly to the battery and use appropriately sized wires
like those in the battery clip wire assembly provided with
the inverter.
CAUTION: Risk of damage to the XPower
500.
Reversing the positive and negative battery cables will
damage the inverter and void your warranty.
When you connect the inverter to the battery, double check
the connections. The red wire must be connected to the red
(+) terminal on the inverter and the positive (+) terminal
on the battery. The black wire must be connected to the
black (–) terminal on the inverter and the negative (–)
terminal on the battery.
