WARNING:
With use, the inverter will become warm and possibly hot. Keep it away from any heat
sensi
Ɵ
ve materials. Make sure the inverter is not close to any pote
ŶƟĂů
source of
Ň
ammable fumes, gases or
clothing. Keep the unit away from
Ň
ammable material or in any loca
Ɵ
on which may accumulate
Ň
ammable fumes
or gases, such as the ba
Ʃ
ery compartment of your car, boat, RV or truck.
WARNING:
Do not operate the unit in an enclosed area that contains automo
Ɵ
ve type lead-acid ba
ƩĞƌŝĞƐ͘
This type of ba
ƩĞƌ
y emits explosive hydrogen gas that can be ignited by sparks.
WARNING:
Do not use the inverter near an open engine compartment.
WARNING:
Keep the inverter dry. DO NOT allow the inverter to come into contact with rain or moisture.
DO NOT operate the inverter if you, the inverter, the device being operated or any other surfaces that may come
in contact with any power source are wet. Water and many other liquids can conduct electricity, which may lead
to serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not connect the unit to AC distribu
Ɵ
on wiring.
WARNING:
Only connect the power inverter to a 12-Volt ba
ƩĞƌ
y accessory outlet or 12-Volt
ďĂƩ
ery. Make
sure the AC plug connec
Ɵ
on is
Ɵ
ght. Do not modify the AC receptacle in any way.
WARNING:
Do not place the inverter in direct sunlight. Keep the unit in cool environments. The ideal air
temperature for opera
Ɵ
on is between 50° and 80° F. Keep out of direct sunlight and away from hea
Ɵ
ng vents,
radiators or other sources of heat. Keep the inverter well ven
Ɵ
lated in order to properly disperse heat generated
while it is in use. Make sure there are several inches of clearance around the top and sides and do not block the
slots of the inverter.
WARNING:
Do not open the unit. High voltages are present inside.
WARNING:
Use proper size wiring. High power inverters can draw many amps from the 12-Volt
source
and
can melt wires if not fused and sized properly.
WARNING:
Some chargers for small nickel-cadmium ba
Ʃ
eries can be damaged if connected to the unit.
Do not use the unit on small ba
ƩĞƌ
y-operated appliances such as
Ň
ashlights, razors and night lights that can be
