Using the Power Inverter Function
Slide down the left side panel to reveal the universal 3 pin socket. Ensuring that the inverter
switch is in the OFF position (see 2.2 b) connect the load to be powered and then push the
inverter switch to the ON position. The appliance connected to the inverter should now turn
on. If the overload light comes on and the load turns off then the appliance exceeds the rating
of the inverter (400 watts). To reset the inverter simply reset the inverter switch to OFF and
then ON again.
The inverter will power loads connected to it for as long as the battery capacity allows. The
higher the wattage the shorter the time. The PPT Powerpack 400 is designed to power small
loads such as lights, TV, radio, dvd player and other portable devices.
