WARNING: Shock and energy hazard
The inverter's main O
does not disconnect DC battery power from the inverter. You must disconnect
DC power before working on any circuits connected to the inverter.
If you are going to operate several loads from the inverter, turn them on
separately after you have turned the inverter on.
Turning loads on separately helps to ensure that the inverter does not have
