6. When the product is deflated to the desired level, push the Compressor/
Inflator switch to the OFF position and remove the adapter.
5.9 Before using the Inverter
Important Safety Instructions:
1. Keep the Instant Power™ well ventilated in order to properly disperse
heat generated while it is in use. Make sure there are several inches of
clearance around the top and sides, and do not block the vents on the back
of the Instant Power™.
2. Make sure the Instant Power™ is not close to any potential source of
flammable fumes, gases or clothing.
3. Keep the Instant Power™ dry.
4. DO NOT allow the Instant Power™ to come into contact with rain or
moisture.
5. DO NOT operate the Instant Power™ if you, the Instant Power™, the
device being operated or any other surfaces that may come in contact
with any power source are wet. water and many other liquids can conduct
electricity, which may lead to serious injury or death.
6. Do not place the Instant Power™ on or near heating vents, radiators or
other sources of heat.
7. Do not place the Instant Power™ in direct sunlight. The ideal air
temperature for operation is between 50° and 80°F.
8. Do not use the inverter near an open engine compartment where fumes or
gases may accumulate.
9. Do not modify the AC receptacles in any way.
5.10 using the Inverter
It is important to know the continuous wattage of the device you plan to use
with the inverter. The Instant Power™ must be used with devices drawing 400
watts or less. If the wattage is not marked on the device, use only devices that
draw less than 3.4 Amps of AC current.
Devices like TVs, fans or electric motors require additional power to start
(commonly known as the "starting or peak power"). The Instant Power™ can
supply a momentary surge in wattage; however even devices rated less than
the maximum 400 watts can exceed the inverters surge capability and cause
an automatic overload shutdown.
Do not use the inverter with a product that draws a higher wattage than
the inverter can provide, as this may cause damage to the inverter and the
product.
Make sure the device you are using is compatible with a modified sine wave
inverter.
operate a particular piece of equipment or device.
In the event of a power overload, the inverter is designed to automatically shut
down. This safety feature prevents damaging the inverter while testing devices
and equipment with the 400-watt range.
If powering more than one device, start one device at a time to avoid a power
surge and/or inverter overload. The surge load of each device should not
exceed the inverter's Continuous Operation wattage rate.
If you are using the power inverter to operate a battery charger, monitor the
temperature of the battery charger for about 10 minutes. If the battery charger
becomes abnormally warm, disconnect it from the inverter immediately.
Always run a test to establish whether the inverter will
