Battery Precautions
1. Wear splash-resistant ANSI-approved
safety goggles and electrically-insulated
gloves while working near batteries.
2. Charge, store, and maintain batteries
according to supplier's instructions.
3. Locate batteries in a clean, well-ventilated area,
away from ignition sources and flammable materials.
Vented lead-acid batteries release
explosive hydrogen gas while charging.
Operation Precautions
1. Multiple outlet power strips with switches and circuit
breakers only interrupt power to the "hot" receptacle
terminals. The "neutral" terminals remain powered
with respect to the "ground" terminals.
So strip switch may be off,
but part of device may still be powered.
2. Inspect supply connections before use to ensure
they are tight and that insulation is not damaged.
3. Do not use this Inverter to power sensitive
devices such as medical devices or computers.
Do not use in ignition protected areas.
4. Some rechargeable devices can damage the
Inverter. Check the temperature of the device
several times when it is charging. If the device
becomes extremely hot; turn the power off, remove
the device, and do not use with the Inverter again.
5. Check for breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the Inverter's operation.
If damaged, have it repaired before use.
Service Precautions
1.
DO NOT OPEN HOUSING.
Contains no user-serviceable parts.
Internal parts may be electrified,
even with Inverter off and
power disconnected.
2. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Inverter.
These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

4. Only connect similar batteries together.
Do not connect old and new batteries together,
flooded and gel cells together, or
batteries of different capacities together.
5. Use only 12 V batteries with this item.
6. Connect batteries in parallel ONLY
(negative terminals together to one cable;
positive terminals together to the other cable).
7. Install a properly rated fuse on the
positive output of the battery bank.
6. Do not attempt to power a device, or combination
of devices, that will require more than the
rated output of this Inverter. This may damage
the Inverter or the attached devices.
7. Appliances such as microwave ovens will
normally draw more than their rated current.
For example: A typical 600 watt microwave oven
will draw approximately 1,000 watts.
8. Do not attach a battery charger if the charger
carries a warning that dangerous voltages
are present at the battery terminals.
9. Some fluorescent lamps may not operate properly
with this type of Inverter.
If the bulb appears to be too bright, or fails to light,
do not use the lamp with this Inverter.
10. Some fans with synchronous motors may slightly
increase in speed when powered by the Inverter.
This is not harmful to the fan or to the Inverter.
11. Inverter will consume some power while on, even
without loads attached. Turn Inverter off after use.
3. Have your Inverter serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the Inverter is maintained.
4. Fuses must be replaced with fuses of
the same type and rating only.
