OWNER’S MANUAL Power Inverter PID-750 Converts DC Battery Power to AC Household Power Includes Battery Cables CAUTION: Read all Safety Rules and Operating Instructions, and follow them with each use of this product. Schumacher Electric Corporation Mount Prospect, IL 60056 U.S.A.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Save These Instructions Before using your PID-750, read and understand this Owner’s Manual. • Keep the inverter well ventilated in order to properly dis- perse heat generated while it is in use. Make sure there are several inches of clearance around the top and sides and do not block the slots of the inverter.

BEFORE USING PID-750 POWER INvERTER It is important to know the continuous wattage of the device you plan to use with the inverter. The PID-750 must be used with devices drawing 750 watts or less. If the wattage is not marked on the device, an estimate can be made by multiplying the AC input current (Amps) by the AC voltage (110V).

Make sure the device you are using is compatible with a modified sine wave inverter. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Connecting to a 12 volt Battery: The PID-750 battery clamps allow quick hook-up to a 12V battery. Make sure the PID-750 and the device(s) are turned OFF. 1. Unscrew the positive (red) and negative (black) plastic connector knobs from the back of the inverter.
6. Turn the device ON. 7. To disconnect the PID-750, reverse the above steps. NOTE: If there is a short circuit or power surge in the device, the alarm will sound. To turn off the alarm, press the button. Cycle inverter power OFF and ON. If problem persists, use a larger inverter or a smaller device.
LED DISPLAY The LED readouts identify the current status of the PID-750. vOLTAGE IN: Voltage of vehicle’s battery or Portable Power jump starter/DC power source. vOLTAGE OUT: Voltage supplied to device through AC receptacle. POWER OUT: Power or wattage supplied to device plugged into the inverter.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM: Alarm is On Reason/Solution 1. Display shows . Device has a short circuit or de- mands too much surge power. Cycle inverter power OFF and ON. If problem persists, use a larger inverter or a smaller device. Remove defective device. See warranty and call Customer Service 800-621-5485 (Hours: 7 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. CST).
