immediate overload shut down and or blow a fuse. The fuse on this inverter is
external and replaceable for this purpose.
CONNECTING THE INVERTER
DC Plug Adapter Cord – Up to 180W Output
1. Connect an insulated copper wire to the ground terminal. The other end
of the ground wire should be connected to a proper grounding point. Use
the shortest practical length of wire. Connect this wire to the chassis of
your vehicle or to the grounding system in your boat. In a city, the ground
wire can connect to a metal cold water pipe that goes underground. In
remote locations, the ground wire can be connected to an earth ground.
In the unlikely event of a short circuit, operating the inverter without proper
grounding can result in electric shock. Do not directly connect this ground
wire to the negative DC terminal
2. Connect the red (+) and black (−) terminals of the supplied DC Plug Adapter
Cord to the red (+) and black (−) terminals on the rear of the inverter.
Be sure to connect them into the correct polarity terminals on the rear
of the inverter. Reverse polarity connection will blow the fuse in the
inverter and can permanently damage to the inverter. Damage caused
by reverse polarity will void the warranty.
3. Connect the Plug end of the DC Adapter Cable into your vehicle’s 12V DC
accessory outlet. You may need to place the ignition switch to Accessory
Position if the vehicle engine is not operating.
4. Plug the AC appliance cord into the inverter’s AC receptacle, and/or your
USB appliance into the USB power port.
