7. This is not a toy - keep away from children.
8. Do not insert any object into the ventilation slots or the fan opening(s).

1. The metal chassis and the input Negative terminal of the inverter are internally connected to the
Ground terminals of the AC outlets. Hence, the input negative terminal should be used as the
grounding terminal. Do not use with Positive Grounded electrical Systems (the majority of modern
automobiles, rVs, trucks and boats are Negative Grounded electrical Systems).
2. Use specified fuse in the Positive supply connection within 7" of the Positive battery post. See Table
4.1 and fig 4.2.
3. observe correct polarity when connecting the DC input terminals of the inverter to the battery.
Connect Positive of the battery to the Positive input connector of the inverter and the Negative of
the battery to the Negative input terminal of the inverter. Reverse polarity connection will result in
a blown fuse and may cause permanent damage to the inverter. Damage due to reverse polarity is
not covered under warranty.
4. This inverter will not operate high wattage appliances that exceed the output power limit or the
surge power limit.
5. Grounding the Neutral terminal of the AC outlet in SSW-350-12A and SSW-600-12A will shut down
the inverter. Similarly, grounding the Neutral terminal of the GfCI outlet in SSW-1000, 1500 & 2000
will trip the GfCI. Hence, do not connect the Ac output to a Load center / Distribution Panel where
the neutral is bonded to the earth Ground.
6. Installation environment
•
The inverter should be installed indoor only in a well ventilated, cool, dry environment.
•
Do not expose to moisture, rain, snow or liquids of any type.
•
To reduce the risk of overheating and fire, do not obstruct the suction and discharge opening of
the cooling fan(s).
•
To ensure proper ventilation, do not install in a low clearance compartment.
7. Precautions When Working With Batteries
•
batteries contain very corrosive diluted Sulfuric Acid as electrolyte. Precautions should be taken
to prevent contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
•
batteries generate Hydrogen and oxygen during charging resulting in evolution of explosive
gas mixture. Care should be taken to ventilate the battery area and follow the battery
manufacturer's recommendations.
•
Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the batteries.
•
Use caution to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool on the battery. It could spark or short
circuit the battery or other electrical parts and could cause an explosion.
•
remove metal items like rings, bracelets and watches when working with batteries. The batteries
can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal and, thus,
cause severe burn.
•
If you need to remove a battery, always remove the ground (Negative) terminal from the battery
first. Make sure that all the accessories are off so that you do not cause a spark.
8. This inverter is not tested for use with medical devices.
1.5 IMPoRtAnt WIRInG InFoRMAtIon
Substantial power loss and reduced battery operating time results from inverters installed with wires
that are not sized correctly based on the length and the current required to be carried. Current flowing
through a wire produces voltage drop along its length due to the resistance of the wire and due to
