Personal Safety Precautions; Features; Before Using Your Inverter - DieHard 28.71496 Operator's Manual

• Incorrect operation of your inverter may result in damage and personal injury.
• This device does not include an internal Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
For GFCI protection, use a Coleman Cable 02822 GFCI outlet.
• Use only 25 amp fuses.

2. PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Restrictions on Use:
The inverter may not be used with life support devices or systems. Failure of this
inverter can reasonably be expected to cause failure of that life support device or
system, or to affect the safety or effectiveness of that device or system.
• Wear complete eye and protective clothing when working near lead-acid batteries.
Always have someone nearby for help.
• Remove all personal metal items from your body, such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a short circuit current
high enough to weld a ring to metal, causing a severe burn.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.

4. BEFORE USING YOUR INVERTER

• This inverter is designed to be used with a single battery, up to group 31 (130 Ah
or smaller). The recommended source of power is a 12 volt deep-cycle battery,
due to their high reserve capacity. Automotive batteries are recommended for only
a short period of time of an hour or less.
• Do not use the inverter with a product that draws a higher wattage than the
converter can provide, as this may cause damage to the inverter and product.
