caution:
This inverter must only be con-
nected to batteries with a nominal
output voltage of 12 volts. Lower
voltage will not operate the inverter
properly, and more voltage could
damage the inverter or the device
being powered. If more than one 12
volt battery is to be used, the batter-
ies must be connected in a parallel
circuit; batteries connected in a series
circuit will produce too much voltage.
Place the Power Inverter on a flat
1.
surface. Make sure it has adequate
ventilation and is not in direct sun-
light. Locate the Inverter close
enough to the car battery so that the
Cables can easily reach between the
Inverter and the car battery. Position
the Inverter so that the Outlets are
easily and safely accessible.
