Caution:
Some rechargeable appliances
may damage the Power Inverter
or the appliance. When first using
a rechargeable device, check the
inverter’s temperature for the first 10
minutes. If it becomes abnormally
hot, do not use this device with the
Inverter.
Caution:
It is recommended that the ve-
hicle be running when you first con
-
nect the Power Inverter. Thereafter
the engine can be on or off. If you run
the Power Inverter with the engine
off it is recommended that you start
and run the engine every hour for at
least 10 minutes to recharge the bat-
tery. Doing this will help prevent any
unexpected shutdown of the equip-
ment. This will also help ensure that
there will be enough battery power
to start the vehicle.
due to the risk
of carbon monoxide inhalation, do
not run the vehicle’s engine within
an enclosed area.
