into the AC receptacle(s). The green LED indicator lights to indicate that the

inverter is functioning. Make sure the combined load requirement of your

equipment does not exceed 350SST watts.

The MAXX350SST is engineered to be connected directly to standard electrical

and electronic equipment in the manner described above. Do not connect the

Power Inverter to household or RV AC distribution wiring. Do not connect the

Power Inverter to any AC load circuit in which the neutral conductor is

connected to ground (earth) or to the negative of the DC (battery) source.

WARNING:

Do not connect to AC distribution wiring

CAUTION:

RECHARGEABLE APPLIANCES

Certain rechargeable devices are designed to be recharged by 

plugging them directly into an AC receptacle. These devices may 

damage the inverter. Do not use the inverter to recharge items that can 

be plugged directly into an AC receptacle.

This problem does not occur with the majority of battery-operated

equipment. Most of these devices use a separate charger or transformer

that is plugged into an AC receptacle. The MAXX350SST is easily capable

of running most chargers and transformers.

4.4  PLACEMENT OF THE INVERTER

For best operating results, the inverter should be placed on a flat surface,

such as the ground, car floor or seat, or other solid surface. A power cord

measuring 3 feet (1.0 meter) has been provided for easy positioning of the

inverter. The inverter should only be used in locations that meet the

following criteria:

DRY - Do not allow water and/or other liquids to come into contact with

the MAXX350SST inverter.

COOL - Ambient air temperature should be between 30 degrees F (-1

degree C) non-condensing, and 105 degrees F (40 degrees C). Do not

place the inverter on or near a heating vent or any piece of equipment

which is generating heat above room temperature. Keep the inverter away

from direct sunlight, if at all possible.

VENTILATED - Keep the area surrounding the inverter clear to ensure free

air circulation around the unit. Do not place items on or over the inverter

during operation. A fan is helpful if the inverter is operating at maximum

power outputs for extended periods of time. The unit will shut down if the

internal temperature exceeds 90 degrees C. The unit will restart after it

cools.
