Unpacking
When unpacking, check to make sure the following parts are included. If any parts
are missing or broken, please call Harbor Freight Tools at the number on the cover
of this manual as soon as possible.
Operation
For the power inverter to work properly, your power source must provide between
10 to 15 volts DC, and the power source must provide enough current (i.e., 15
amps to operate the load of 175 Watts or under).
Caution: This inverter must only be connected to batteries with a nominal out-
put voltage of 12 volts. Lower voltage will not operate the inverter properly, and
more voltage could damage it. Do not use this inverter with positive ground
electrical systems.
1.
Place the Power Inverter on a flat surface. Make sure it has adequate
ventilation and is not in direct sunlight.
2.
Connect the lighter output connector cable to the red and
black terminal screws on the back of the inverter.
Securely tighten.
3.
The Power Inverter can be used either while the engine is
running or off. Insert the Lighter Output Connector Cable
plug firmly into the cigarette lighter socket.
4.
Plug the 110 VAC device(s) you wish to power into the 3-prong AC
Receptacles. See photo on the next page. The appliance(s) must not use
more than 175 (total) watts during continuous operation.
