1. Place the Power Inverter on a flat
surface that has adequate ventilation
and is not in direct sunlight. Locate
the Inverter close enough to the car
battery so that the Cables can easily
reach the Inverter and the car battery.

are easily and safely accessible.

on the back of the Inverter:

the Power Terminals.

Terminal over the post of the red
Power Terminal and the black

post of the black Power Terminal.
d. Replace the knobs and
tighten securely.
WARNING! Use only the included cables
or 4 AWG cables up to 10 feet long.
Thinner/longer cables may cause
overheating and damage the inverter
and/or connected devices.
3. Apply the parking brake to the
vehicle connected to the battery.
Place the transmission in "Park"
