Lead Acid Battery Safety Warnings CA Prop 65 WARNING: Batteries contain lead and other chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. WARNING: WORKING AROUND LEAD‐ACID BATTERIES MAY BE DANGEROUS. • Lead‐acid batteries release explosive gases during normal operation, charging and jump starting. • All lead‐acid batteries (car, truck and boat) produce hydrogen gas which may violently explode in the pr

Electrical Safety Warnings WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow all warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury or death. WARNING: Before connecting a tool to a power supply, always check to ensure the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the nameplate of the tool. A power supply with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool. Us

Electrical Safety Warnings (Continued) WARNING: If the work area is not equipped with a permanently installed Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter outlet (GFCI), use a plug‐in GFCI between the power tool or extension cord and the power receptacle. WARNING: If an extension cord is necessary, use only ‘Listed’ extension cords. If used outdoors, they must be marked “For Outdoor Use”. Those cords having a 3‐prong grounding type plugs and mating receptacles are to be used with grounded tools. W

Inverter Safety Warnings (Continued) WARNING: Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with accessories sold with this product, may expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. WARNING: With use, the inverter will become warm and possibly hot. Keep it away from any heat sensitive materials. Make sure the inverter is not close to any potential source of flammable fumes, g

Getting Started When you turn on an appliance or a tool that operates using a motor or tubes, it requires an initial surge of power to start up. This surge of power is referred to as the "starting load" or "peak load". Once started, the tool or appliance requires less power to continue to operate. This is referred to as "continuous load" in terms of power requirements. You will need to determine how much power your tool or appliance requires to start up (starting load) and it's continued ru

A. ON/OFF Switch. The current flowing from the power source to the inverter is controlled by this switch. It does not control the current flowing from the inverter to the appliance. B. Overload LED Indicator Light. If the continuous power draw of the appliance(s) being operated exceeds 1500 watts, this light will turn Red and the inverter will automatically shut down. When this occurs turn off the inverter and determine the cause of the over load before turning the inverter and the applian

3. Conclusion: The reserve power of a battery with a 150 reserve minutes rating is sufficient to satisfy the continuous load demand placed on the inverter for a maximum of about one hour. (45 amps/hour‐amp draw = 1 hour). Note: • When the inverter will be operating appliances with high continuous load ratings for extended periods, it is not advisable to power the inverter with the same battery used to power your car or truck. If the car or truck battery is utilized for an extended period,

• If the cables supplied with your power inverter are too short to allow for placement of the inverter in a desired location, see the last page of this manual for recommended wire gauges and lengths to be used. The steps outlined for making the connection and the related safety precautions remain unchanged. • The audible alarm may make a momentary "chirp” when the inverter is turned OFF (0). This same alarm may also sound when the inverter is being connected to or disconnected from the 12‐vo

let it run for approximately 10 minutes to recharge the battery. We also recommend that the device plugged into the inverter be turned OFF before starting the vehicle engine. Although it is not necessary to disconnect the inverter when turning over the engine, it may momentarily cease to battery voltage decreases. When the inverter is not supplying power, it draws very low amperage operate as the from the battery and may be left connected to the battery for up to three hours. However, we re

The modified sine wave produced by our inverters has a root mean square (RMS) voltage of 110 volts. The majority of AC voltmeters are calibrated for RMS voltage and assume that the measured waveform will be a pure sine wave. Consequently, these meters will not read the RMS modified sine wave voltage correctly and, when measuring the inverter output, the meters will read about 20 to 30 volts too low. To accurately measure of the output voltage of the inverter, use a true RMS reading voltmeter
