PowerDrive recommends installing one ANL type fuse and
fuse holder close to the positive battery bank terminal. This
fuse protects the batteries from accidental DC cable
shorts,
which can cause batteries to explode. ANL fuses and fuse
holders are available at most hardware supply stores.

CAUTIONS
• Loose connections can result in a severe decrease in
voltage that can cause damage to cables and insulation.
• Failure to make correct polarity (Pos/Neg) connection
between the inverter and the battery bank can result in
blowing fuses in the inverter and can permanently
damage the inverter. Damage caused by reversed
polarity is not covered under the warranty.
•
Mal
k ing the connection to the Positive terminal may
cause a spark as a result of current flowing to charge
capacitors within the inverter. This is a normal
occurrence.
• Because of the possibility of sparking, it is extremely
important that both the inverter and the 12-volt battery
be positioned far from any possible source of
flammable fumes or gases. Failure to heed this
warning could result in fire or explosion.
• Operating the inverter without correctly grounding the
unit may result in an electrical shock.
GETTING STARTED
When some tools turn on, there is an initial surge of power
to start. This surge of power is referred to as the "starting
load" or "peak load." Once started, the tool or appliance
requires less power to operate. This is referred to as the
"continuous load
