Quick Start
Power Inverter
Plug Inverter into your vehicle's
power port.
The power port
must be rated for
at least 20 amps
to continuously
power a 150 watt
load.
Adjust the inverter plug for
better positioning.
2
Plug in an AC device
Device must draw 150W or less of continuous
AC power.
If necessary, you can use an AC extension
cord. The extension cord's rating should be
equal to or greater than the device's rating.
Power
Indicator
Lights when
the inverter is
connected.
Plug in a DC device
You can use an AC and a DC device at the
same time, but the total current cannot
exceed 15 amps.

Replacing the Fuse
If the fuse has blown, replace it with a 20A
blade-type fuse (not supplied).
1. Take out the fuse with pliers.
2. Insert the new fuse.
Caution: Do not use a fuse with a
different rating. Doing so can damage your
inverter.

Troubleshooting
If an appliance doesn't power up, or the
power indicator doesn't light, there are several
possible causes:
• Defective device plugged into the
inverter.
Try another device to see if the first one is
defective.
• Vehicle battery voltage is lower than 10V.
Run the vehicle's engine to recharge the
battery.
• Temperature exceeds 158°F (70°C).
Unplug the appliance and wait until the
inverter cools. See "Heat Dispersion." Your
device's power requirement might also
exceed the inverter's rating.
• Continuous power load exceeds 150
watts.
Disconnect the device. Use only devices
with a continuous power load of 150 watts
or less.
• Blown fuse.
See "Replacing the Fuse."
