SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONVERTERS
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:
• Do not connect to AC distribution wiring.
• Do not make any electrical connections or disconnections in areas designated as IGNITION PROTECTED. This converter is NOT approved for ignition
protected areas.

• If the vehicle accessory outlet fuse opens (blows) when plugging in this converter, do not use this converter with this vehicle accessory outlet:
Do not repeatedly replace the fuse.
Do not replace the vehicle accessory outlet fuse with one of a higher amperage rating.
Never attempt to patch the fuse with tin foil or wire.
Any of these actions may cause serious electrical damage and/or a fire.
This converter is rated to draw 10 amperes from a 13.8V vehicle outlet. Ensure that the engine system in your vehicle can supply sufficient
energy to the converter without causing the vehicle accessory outlet fuse to open. The fuse must be rated higher than 12 amps. Information on
the vehicle accessory fuse ratings are typically found in the vehicle operator’s manual.
