OPERATION
Whistler warranty.
• Making the connection between the Positive (+)
terminals may cause a spark as a result of current flowing to
the capacitors in the inverter. This is a normal occurrence.
Due to the potential for sparking, however, it is extremely
important that both the inverter and the 12 volt battery
be well removed from any possible source of flammable
fumes or gases.
Failure to heed this warning could
result in fire or explosion.
6. Run a ground from the Ground Lug Terminal at the rear
of the inverter to a proper grounding point using the
shortest practical length of 18 AWG wire. Selection of the
grounding point will depend on where you are using the
inverter. The ground wire may be connected to the chassis
of your vehicle or to the grounding system in your boat or
to the earth* if you are operating the inverter in a remote
location. Before connecting the ground, make certain that
the inverter is turned off.
*
This ground can’t be the same ground as the AC ground.
Operating the inverter without properly grounding it may
result in electrical shock.
7. Confirm that the equipment or appliance to be operated
is turned off. Plug the equipment or appliance into one of
the AC receptacles on the front panel of the the inverter.
