The inverter produces the same potentially lethal AC power as normal
household outlets. It is suggested that you treat it as normal AC outlet.
The case to the unit may become very warm under high power
operation reaching 140
℉
(60
℃
). Be sure that there is at least 2 in (5cm)
of unobstructed air space around the entire surface of the inverter at all
times. During use, do not place materials that could be damaged by
heat near the unit.
Do not operate the unit near flammable fumes or gases such as the
cabin of a gasoline power boat, or near propane tanks.
Do not operate the unit in an enclosed area that contains automotive
type lead-acid batteries. This type of battery emits explosive hydrogen
gas which can be ignited by sparks.
Always make all AC connections before making DC connections or the
components built into the inverter can become energized producing an
electrical shock hazard. Never work on the AC wiring without first
physically disconnecting the DC connections.
Caution
Do not connect the unit to live AC power circuits or there would be damage
to the inverter. Do not connect any AC device which has its neutral conductor
Some chargers for small nickel-cadmium batteries can be
damaged if connected to the unit. Do not use the unit on the
following items:
Small battery-operated appliances such as flashlights,
razors and nightlights those can be plugged directly into an AC
outlet to recharge.
Certain battery chargers for battery packs used in hand
power tools. These chargers will have a warning label indicating
that dangerous voltages are present at the battery terminals.
Connect the unit to batteries with a normal output of 12V DC
only. As 6V batteries voltage is too low, and a 24V battery
