• DO NOT attempt to connect or set up the inverter or its components while operating your vehicle. Not paying
attention to the road may result in a serious accident.
• ALWAYS use the inverter where there is adequate ventilation. Do not block ventilation slots.
• ALWAYS turn the inverter off by disconnecting it from the power source when not in use.
• The inverter MUST be connected only to batteries with a nominal output voltage of 12 volts. The unit will not
operate from a 6 volt battery and will sustain permanent damage if connected to a 24 volt battery.
• When using this unit in a vehicle, check the vehicle owner's manual for maximum power rating and recommended
output. DO NOT install in engine compartment - install in a well ventilated area.
