Appliance Cautions - PowerDrive PDIPS1000B Addendum Owner's Manual

APPLIANCE CAUTIONS
• DO NOT plug in battery chargers for cordless power
tools if the charger carries a warning that dangerous
voltages are present at the battery terminals.
• Certain chargers for small nickel-cadmium or nickel-
metal-hydride batteries can be damaged if powered by
this inverter. Two types of appliances are susceptible to
damage: Small, battery-operated appliances such as
flashlights, cordless razors and toothbrushes that plug
directly into an AC receptacle.
• Some fans with synchronous motors may slightly
increase in speed (RPM) when powered by the inverter.
This is not harmful to the fan or to the inverter.
• Use safety approved extension cords rated at 15 Amps
or higher.
• GFCI devices may not work with modified sine wave
(MSW) power.
• This inverter is not tested for use with medical
equipment.
• This inverter is not tested for use in marine applications.
• In the event of a continuous audible alarm or automatic
shut down, turn the inverter OFF immediately. Do not
restart the inverter until the source of the problem has
been identified and corrected.
• When using your PowerDrive inverter to power lead acid
battery chargers (Like those used for a car,boat or
motorcycle) with modified sine wave, check the
temperature of the battery charger after 1 O minutes. If the
battery charger becomes hot, immediately disconnect it
from the inverter and allow it to cool before resuming the
charging operation.
• Do not use power strips woth surge protection.
WARNING: DANGER OF BATTERY EXPLOSION - INSTALL A FUSE
Battery Banks can deliver very high levels of current that
can vaporize metal, start fires and cause explosions.
