INSTALLING THE INVERTER
Your
inverter should not be mounted under the hood of a vehicle.
If installing in a vehicle, choose a dry, cool, ventilated area as close to the battery as practical. Before drilling
any mounting holes, make sure that there are no wires, fuel lines or tanks directly behind the surface to be
drilled to install the inverter :
1.
Inverter must be off.
2.
The inverter should be mounted horizontally to avoid any foreign objects from falling into the inverter from
ventilation openings.
3.
Position the inverter against the mounting surface and mark locations of the mounting screw openings.
4.
Remove the inverter and drill four mounting holes.
5.
Fasten the inverter to the mounting surface using corrosion-resistant fasteners sized #10 or larger.

1.
Inverter must be off.
6.
Insert the nuts on both DC terminals and tighten
them with washers. Do not overtighten.
7.
Connect the negative (black) battery cable ring
terminal to the negative (black) post of the battery (5).
Tighten the nut with washer firmly. Do not overtighten.
8.
Connect the positive (red) battery cable ring
terminal to the positive (red) post of the battery (4).
Tighten the nut with washer firmly. Do not overtighten.
9.
Prepare a 14 AWG copper wire with enough length to
connect the inverter to a ground. Strip the insulation at
both sides. Connect one end of the copper wire to the
ground terminal (3) of the inverter, and the other end of
the wire to the chasis or ground.
2.
Prepare 1 set of positive and negative
cables to connect to battery. Ring
terminals are recommended. It is
highly recommended to use red
cable for the positive terminal and
black cable for the negative terminal.
The copper cables gauge should be:
3.
Remove the nuts, washers and bolts from
the positive and negative DC terminals.
4.
With the positive cable, connect the ring
connector of the positive (red) battery cable
to the positive (red) DC terminal (1) of the
inverter.
5.
With the negative cable, connect the ring
connector of the negative (black) battery cable
to the negative (black) DC terminal (2) of the
inverter.

NOTE:
If connecting the inverter in a vehicle, connect the copper wire to the chassis
of the vehicle. If connecting the inverter in a boat, connect the copper wire to
the boat grounding system. If connecting the inverter in a fixed location,
connect the copper wire to a ground rod (a metal rod pounded into the earth)
or other proper service entrance ground.
