IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS–  

This manual contains important instructions that shall be followed  

during installation and maintenance of the Inverter.   

IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR USE CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR DEATH.

General Precautions

1.  People with pacemakers should consult their 

physician(s) before use.  Electromagnetic fields in 

close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause 

pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.

2.  WARNING:  The brass components of 

this product contain lead, a chemical 

known to the State of California to cause 

birth defects (or other reproductive harm). 

(California Health & Safety code § 25249.5, 

et seq.

)

3.  WARNING: This product contains or, when 

used, produces a chemical known to the 

State of California to cause cancer and 

birth defects or other reproductive harm.  

(California Health & Safety Code §  25249.5, 

et seq.

)

4.  The warnings, precautions, and instructions 

discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all 

possible conditions and situations that may occur.   

It must be understood by the operator that 

common sense and caution are factors 

which cannot be built into this product, but 

must be supplied by the operator.

Installation Precautions

1. 

DO NOT INSTALL THIS INVERTER INTO 

A BUILDING’S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.  

This Inverter is a vehicular accessory.  

It is not designed to be safely used in a building’s 

electrical system and has not been evaluated to 

meet building wiring codes. Improper application 

may create a fire or electric shock hazard.

2.  To allow proper cooling, install in indoor 

well-ventilated area and do not cover 

ventilation openings or cooling fins.   

Do not install in engine compartment.   

Especially avoid placing the Inverter on 

carpets and rugs; they are not only flammable, 

but they also obstruct vents underneath it.

3.  Keep combustible materials and gasses away 

from the Inverter.  The Inverter produces sparks 

and heat during operation and can start a fire.

4.  Connect to 12 VDC power supply only.  

A power supply with lower voltage will 

not operate the Inverter correctly, and 

higher voltage could damage the Inverter.

5.  Connect input polarity properly.  Incorrect connection 

will damage Inverter and void warranty.

6. 

Do not use in a marine application.

   

This Inverter is not intended to withstand the highly 

corrosive conditions in marine applications and 

would quickly be rendered inoperable or unsafe.

7.  Keep Inverter dry and clean.  Do not expose 

to rain, snow, spray, bilge water or dust.

8.  Use cables that are thick enough.  The more power 

(amps) or the longer the cables, the thicker they 

need to be to prevent overheating and fire.

9.  Install as close to DC source as possible, but 

not in a closed area with vented lead-acid batteries.  

Vented lead-acid batteries release explosive 

hydrogen gas that can be ignited by the Inverter.

10. Mount Inverter horizontally.

11.  Verify that installation surface has no hidden 

utility lines before drilling or driving screws.

12. This product is not a toy.   

Keep it out of reach of children.

13. Do not use with positive ground electrical systems.  

(Most automobiles, trucks, and RV’s 

have negative ground systems.)

14. The positive (+) battery on the Inverter must be the 

last connection made, and must be connected before 

the Inverter is turned on.  There may be a small 

spark during the final connection.  This is normal.

15. Properly ground the Inverter’s case 

as explained in this manual.
