PowerTech MI5736, User Manual

General Safety Precautions and Installation Tips:

• The inverter should not be installed in the enginer compartment, due to possible 

water/oil/acid contamination, and excessive heat under the bonnet, as well as 

potential danger from petrol fumes and the spark that an inverter can occassionally 

produce. It’s best to run battery cables to a dry, cool mounting location.

• Keep the inverter dry. Do not expose it to rain or moisture. DO NOT operate the 

inverter if the inverter, the device being operated, or any other surfaces that may 

come in contact with any power source are wet. Water and many other liquids can 

conduct electricity which may lead to serious injury or death.

• Do not operate the inverter in dusty environments. Keep the fan clean and free of 

dust.

• Avoid placing the inverter on or near heating vents, radiators or other sources of 

heat. Do not place the inverter in direct sunlight. Ideal operating temperature is 

between 10°C and 30°C. Allow at least 2 inches (5cm) of air space on all sides of the 

temperatures.

• In order to properly disperse heat generated while the inverter is in operation, 

keep it well ventilated. While in use, maintain several inches of clearance around the 

top and sides of the inverter.

• DO NOT install inverters in unvented battery compartments

• DO NOT expose the inverter to temperatures exceeding 40°C

• DO NOT connect live AC power to the inverter’s AC outlets. The inverter will be 

damaged even if it is switched OFF.

CAUTION: Any internal adjustment on the inverter is prohibited. Do not 

disassemble.
