IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
To ensure reliable service, your power inverter must be installed and used properly.
Please read the installation and operating instructions thoroughly prior to installation
and use. Pay particular attention to the WARNING and CAUTION statements in
this manual. The CAUTION statements advise against certain conditions and
practices that may result in damage to your inverter. The WARNING statements
identify conditions or practices that may result in personal injury.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS POWER INVERTER
WARNINGS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR INJURY:
• Do not connect to AC distribution wiring
• Remove appliance plug from outlet strip or turn off inverter before
working on the appliance
• DO NOT locate inverters in an area, room or compartment where
explosive or flammable fumes might be present
• Unplug appliances when servicing
• KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN—THIS IS NOT A TOY
Multiple outlet power strips with switches and circuit breakers only interrupt
power to the "hot" receptacle terminals. The "neutral" terminals remain
powered with respect to the "ground" terminals
CAUTIONS
• NO USER-SERVICEABLE COMPONENTS INSIDE. OPENING UNIT
WILL VOID WARRANTY
• Do not use with positive ground electrical systems (the majority of
modern automobiles, RVs, and trucks and boats are negative ground)
Reverse polarity connection will result in a blown fuse and may cause
permanent damage to the inverter and will void the warranty
• Grounding the Neutral will cause the inverter to shut down
• Do not operate this inverter if it is wet
• Do not install in engine compartment - install in a well ventilated area
• Not approved for use in conjunction with medical equipment
IMPORTANT CABLE INFORMATION
Substantial power loss and reduced battery operating time results from
inverters installed with cables that are not able to supply full power. Symptoms
of low battery power can result from cables that are either excessively long or
an insufficient gauge. The installer/operator should be especially aware of
the requirements to maintain secure, electrical connections. Cable insulation and
ampacity (ampere capacity) must be the appropriate type for the environment. If
you went to purchase a prepared cable and fuse set contact Technical Support at
(954) 584-4446 or toll free at (866) 584-5504, ext. 19.
PROBLEM: LOW POWER OUTPUT
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Inverter overloaded.
Input Voltage below 11.5 VDC.
Input 12 VDC cable is not heavy
gauge, and/or cable run is too long.
PROBLEM: LOW BATTERY ALARM SOUNDS CONTINUOUSLY
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Inadequate power or
excessive voltage drop.

SUGGESTED SOLUTION
Reduce current load to 3000 watts
maximum for continuous operation.
Recharge or replace battery (batteries).
Correct cable problem with heavier .
gauge wire.
SUGGESTED SOLUTION
Clean and reconnect cables and
