INTRODUCTION

Your new Husky POWER INVERTER is one in a series of the most
advanced DC to AC inverters available. With proper care and appropriate
usage, it will give you years of dependable service in your car, truck, RV
or boat.
The POWER INVERTER supplies 750 watts of continuous power, with a
1500 watt peak, in the form of two household-type outlets that are ready
to deliver 110 volt AC power whenever and wherever you need it! The
heavy-duty inverter has enough power to run most household or electronic
appliances. It also comes equipped with battery clips to handle higher
amperage/load applications, such as power tools, stereo amplifiers,
vacuums, etc. Added safety features include automatic shutdown and a low
battery alarm to prevent damage to your battery.
This Power Inverter is configured with the latest Soft Start Technology (SST).
Before introduction of Soft-Start, high start-ups currents from large
inductive loads could shut down the inverter. Soft Start improves inverter
operation. Three major features incorporated in SST include: first, gradual
voltage ramp-up during inverter start-ups. This eliminates failed cold starts
under load. Second, output that momentarily dips in voltage and quickly
recovers to allow large motorized loads to start. This eliminates almost all
shutdowns from momentary overloads. Last, the inverter automatically
restarts when an overload that causes inverter shutdown is removed.
Previously, manual reset was required.
This power inverter also incorporates a new cooling technology that
directly benefits our customers. The new design more efficiently cools the
power transistors, and combined with Soft Start, dramatically increases
reliability and the life of the product.
Given proper care and appropriate use, your inverter is covered by a
2-year initial warranty. You may extend the warranty an additional two full
years by paying a small fee. See the Warranty Information at the end of
this manual.

CONTROLS, INDICATORS AND CONNECTORS

Figure 1 details the front panel of the inverter. The front panel provides two
LED indicators. A green LED shows proper operation when lit. The red LED
shows inverter shutdown from overload, over voltage or over temperature.
Power is supplied through two grounded standard North American outlets.
Outlets accommodate either two or three pin AC plugs. An On/Off Switch
turns the inverter circuitry On and Off. The switch is used to force a reset
of inverter circuits if it is switched Off, then On.
