•

Do not attempt your own AC wiring unless you have the knowledge 
and experience to do a safe job. Your RV dealer, boat dealer, or a 
licensed electrician can install the inverter if you do not wish to do 
your own wiring.

•

Read and follow all Warnings and Cautions in this chapter.

Installation Codes

Governing installation codes vary depending on the location and type of 
installation. Electrical installations must meet local and national wiring 
codes and should be done by a qualified electrician.
