5. Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let them handle machines, equipment, or extension cords. 6. 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 appli- cations for which this Inverter was designed. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was intended. Do not modify this Inverter and do not use this Inverter for a purpo

18. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radia- tors, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures during installation. Connect all wires securely. Store metal objects away from the inverter. 19. People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before using this product. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference to or failure of the pacemaker. 20. Keep the Inverter well-ventilated. Do not place any

BACK Negative Positive Charger Ground AC Input Terminal Charger Fuse Holder WARNING! Risk of Fire! The positive battery terminal connection must be the LAST connection and must be done with the inverter’s switch off. Connection For the power Inverter to work properly, your power source must provide 12 volts DC, and enough current (i.e., 32 amps to operate a load of 384 Watts or under). Warning: This Inverter must only be connected to batteries with a nominal out- put voltage of 12 volts. More v

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 appli- ance 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 vol
