use electrically powered products in the presence of flammable gases or liq- uids. 5. Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let them handle machines, equipment, or extension cords. 6. Store idle equipment. When not in use, this product must be stored in a dry location to inhibit rust. 7. Use the right inverter for the job. Do not attempt to force a small inverter or attachment to do the work of a larger industrial inverter. There are certain applications

17. Do not operate inverter if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the inverter. 18. Guard against electric shock. Do not open the metal case; risk of electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, ra- diators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures during installation. Connect all wires securely and cover the connect

BACK WARNING! Risk of Fire! The positive battery terminal connection must be the LAST connection and must be done with the inverter’s switch off. Negative Positive Connection For the power inverter to work properly, your power source must provide 12 volts DC, and the power source must provide enough current (i.e., 32 amps to operate the load of 384 Watts or under). Caution: This inverter must only be connected to batteries with a nominal output voltage of 12 volts. Lower voltage will not operat

FRONT Power Indicator Outlets Switch Operation 1. Plug the 115 VAC device(s) you wish to power into the 3-prong AC Receptacles. See FRONT above. The appliance(s) must not use more than 400 (total) watts during continuous operation, otherwise it may overload the Inverter. Caution: Some rechargeable appliances may damage the Power Inverter or the appliance. When first using a rechargeable device, check the inverter’s temperature for the first 10 minutes. If it becomes abnormally hot, do not use

Troubleshooting Tips 1. If the low battery alarm sounds, this means that the input voltage is below the necessary 11 V. The battery needs recharging. You should stop using the appliance and then recharge the battery. If this is not done, the Inverter will shut off automatically at around 10 V. 2. If you are unsure if the inverter will have the proper amount of current to run the device, use this rough guideline: Take the power consumption of the load in watts and divide it by 12 (input volta
