during installation and maintenance of the Inverter.
IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR USE CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR DEATH.
General Precautions

physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in
close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
2. WARNING: The brass components of
this product contain lead, a chemical
known to the State of California to cause
birth defects (or other reproductive harm).
(California Health & Safety code § 25249.5,
et seq.
)
3. WARNING: This product contains or, when
used, produces a chemical known to the
State of California to cause cancer and
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5,
et seq.
)
4. The warnings, precautions, and instructions
discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur.
It must be understood by the operator that
common sense and caution are factors
which cannot be built into this product, but
must be supplied by the operator.
Installation Precautions
1.
DO NOT INSTALL THIS INVERTER INTO
A BUILDING’S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
This Inverter is a vehicular accessory.
It is not designed to be safely used in a building’s
electrical system and has not been evaluated to
meet building wiring codes. Improper application
may create a fire or electric shock hazard.
2. To allow proper cooling, install in indoor
well-ventilated area and do not cover
ventilation openings or cooling fins.
Do not install in engine compartment.
Especially avoid placing the Inverter on
carpets and rugs; they are not only flammable,
but they also obstruct vents underneath it.
3. Keep combustible materials and gasses away
from the Inverter. The Inverter produces sparks
and heat during operation and can start a fire.
4. Connect to 12 VDC power supply only.
A power supply with lower voltage will
not operate the Inverter correctly, and
higher voltage could damage the Inverter.
5. Connect input polarity properly. Incorrect connection
will damage Inverter and void warranty.
6.
Do not use in a marine application.
This Inverter is not intended to withstand the highly
corrosive conditions in marine applications and
would quickly be rendered inoperable or unsafe.
7. Keep Inverter dry and clean. Do not expose
to rain, snow, spray, bilge water or dust.
8. Use cables that are thick enough. The more power
(amps) or the longer the cables, the thicker they
need to be to prevent overheating and fire.
9. Install as close to DC source as possible, but
not in a closed area with vented lead-acid batteries.
Vented lead-acid batteries release explosive
hydrogen gas that can be ignited by the Inverter.
10. Mount Inverter horizontally.
11. Verify that installation surface has no hidden
utility lines before drilling or driving screws.
12. This product is not a toy.
Keep it out of reach of children.
13. Do not use with positive ground electrical systems.
(Most automobiles, trucks, and RV’s
have negative ground systems.)
14. The positive (+) battery on the Inverter must be the
last connection made, and must be connected before
the Inverter is turned on. There may be a small
spark during the final connection. This is normal.
15. Properly ground the Inverter’s case
as explained in this manual.
