Note:
•
The WHISTLER 500 is equipped with a cooling fan which is designed
to run continuously while the inverter is operating. Automatic shut
down caused by excess circuit temperatures occurs when the cooling
fan is unable to maintain the design parameters for safe operation of
the inverter.
•
In the event of automatic shut down or continuous audible alarm,
turn the inverter rocker switch to the OFF (0) position until the
source of the related problem has been determined and resolved.
Some Powerful Advice.
Your WHISTLER 500 will work best when placed on a reasonably flat
surface. The floor or your car or truck is a good location as long as the
area is dry and well ventilated.
(When driving with the WHISTLER 500 in operation, make certain that
neither the inverter nor the power cables will impede safe operation of
your vehicle. Keep the inverter and all cables and cords clear of the
steering wheel, gear shift and gas, brake and clutch pedals).
To maintain your WHISTLER 500 in proper working condition, note the
following important safety precautions:
•
MOISTURE. Keep the WHISTLER 500 dry. Do not expose it to moisture.
Do not operate the WHISTLER 500 if you, the inverter the device
being operated or any other surfaces that may come in contact with
any power source are wet. Water and many other liquids can ~con-
duct electricity which may lead to serious injury or death.
•
HEAT. The ambient air temperature should be between 500 and 800
F. Avoid placing the inverter on or near heating vents, radiators or
other sources of heat. Do not place the inverter in direct sunlight.
VENTILATION. In order to properly disperse heat generated while
the inverter is in operation, keep it well ventilated. While in use,
maintain several inches of clearance around the top and sides of the
inverter.
•
FUMES & GASES. Avoid using the inverter near flammable materi-
als. Do not place the inverter in areas such as battery compartments
where fumes or gases may accumulate.
