This inverter is rated to draw 9.5 amperes from a 12V vehicle outlet. Ensure that the engine system in your vehicle can supply
sufficient energy to the inverter 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.
