WARNING: Battery Voltage
Your inverter is designed to connect to 12 Volt batteries only. Using a higher voltage battery
will cause an over-voltage shutdown; using a lower-voltage will cause an under-voltage
shutdown (see Troubleshooting Guide).
• Use precautions by not smoking or having an open spark or fire near battery installations. Batteries
contain flammable materials.
• Keep unit away from moist or damp areas.
• Avoid dropping any metal tool or object on the battery. Doing so could create a spark or short circuit
which goes through the battery or another electrical tool that may create an explosion.
WARNING: Shock Hazard. Keep away from children!
Avoid moisture. Never expose unit to snow, water etc.
Unit provides 115 VAC, treat the output socket the same as regular wall AC sockets at home.
WARNING: Explosion hazard!
DO NOT use the inverter in the vicinity of flammable fumes or gases (such as propane tanks or large
engines).
AVOID covering the ventilation openings. Always operate unit in an open area.
