General Safety Instructions

Before installing and using your new inverter, read all appropriate sections of this
guide and any cautionary markings on the inverter, batteries and on your appliances.
1. CAUTION: Do not operate the inverter if the carton or unit has significant damage
from being dropped or crushed, received a direct hit of force or is otherwise damaged.
2. CAUTION: Do not dismantle the inverter. Call the factory directly when service or
repair is required. Incorrect assembly may result in risk of electrical shock or fire.
3. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect both AC and DC power
from the inverter prior to any maintenance or cleaning.
4. CAUTION: Protect the inverter from rain, snow water and spray.
5. CAUTION: Internal inverter components remain charged after power is disconnected.

The same potentially hazardous or lethal AC power that is found in a normal household
110AC power outlet can be found in the TruePower inverter.
7. CAUTION: Under no circumstance should the user connect live AC (household) power
to the inverter's AC receptacles. The inverter will become damaged even if it is switched
off. This unit can only take 12V DC battery power and invert it to 110V AC household
power. This unit is not a battery charger!
8. CAUTION: For an ABYC E-11 compliant installation, this Inverter must be installed
with an inline fuse in the positive (+) cable on the DC side of the inverter (between the
battery and the inverter) at a distance of seven inches from the battery connection
(Please see Specifications Table in this Manual for correct sizing).
