IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• ALWAYS make sure connections are made to the correct terminal. Dam-
age due to reversed polarity is not covered by warranty.
• NEVER connect or set up the power inverter or appliances while operat-
ing a vehicle. Not paying attention to the road may result in a serious
accident.
• NEVER plug the power inverter into a location that interferes with the
vehicle controls (i.e. near the gear shift lever).
• ALWAYS use the power inverter where there is adequate ventilation.
NEVER block ventilation slots. NEVER install in an engine compartment
or in any enclosed area in the vehicle that does not allow air circulation.
• NEVER place materials that could be damaged by heat near the power
inverter during use.
• ALWAYS make all DC connections before making AC connections.
• NEVER service an AC appliance without first disconnecting from the
power inverter.
• NEVER connect the power inverter to live AC power circuits.
• Some chargers for small nickel-cadmium batteries can be damaged if
connected to the power inverter. Do not use the power inverter on the
following items:
- Small battery-operated appliances such as flashlights, razors, and
nightlights. Charge these items using a standard household outlet.
- Certain battery chargers for battery packs used in hand power tools.
These chargers will have a warning label indicating that dangerous volt-
ages are present at the battery terminals.
• Loose connections may cause wire overheating, melted insulation, and
damage to the power inverter.
• ALWAYS use the power cords that were included with the power inverter.
• NEVER use the power cords for any other purpose than with the power
inverter.
• Connect the power inverter to batteries with a normal output of 12VDC
only; Do not use with 6V or 24V systems.
• NEVER use with positive ground electrical systems. Reverse polarity
connections will result in a blown fuse and may cause permanent dam-
age to the inverter and void the product warranty. (Most modern automo-
biles, RVs, and trucks are negative ground systems.)
• NEVER operate the power inverter in areas with high levels of dirt, dust,
or debris.
• Follow ALL manufacturer instructions: power inverter instructions, bat-
tery manufacturer instructions, and the manufacturer of any equipment
intended for use with this power inverter.
