General Safety Information

CAUTION
• This inverter must be connected only to a 12 volt DC
Negative Ground ignition system (most vehicles). Do
not use this inverter with Positive Ground vehicle
ignition system. Consult your vehicle owner's manual
for ignition system identification.
• Do not use this inverter with device which use more
than 800 watt power consumption. Make certain the
wattage requirements are within the capacity of this
inverter output watt range.
• Do not connect inverter to household or RV, AC
distributing circuit. Do not connect inverter to AC load
circuit in which the neutral wire is connected to ground
(-) or to negative of the DC battery power source.
• Do not connect to a 6 volt or 24 volt DC battery.
• Do not use an AC (115 volt) extension cord longer
than 25 feet.
• Do not use a 12 volt DC extension cord of any type
or length.
• Start and run your vehicle hourly to prevent battery
discharge. IMPORTANT: Power OFF the inverter and
device(s) being used before engine start up.
WARNING
• Improper use of this inverter can cause personal
injury, property damage, and/or possible loss of life.
• Do not use or place this inverter near flammable
materials or any location which accumulates
flammable fumes.
• Do not operate this inverter in or near water. Do not
operate inverter using wet hands.
• Do NOT touch tip of the inverter 12 Volt plug
immediately after usage. The plug may be hot and
could cause minor burns.
• Disconnect power to the inverter when it is not in use.
• To avoid potential property damage, do not leave this
inverter or any device operating unattended in vehicle.
• Do not place this inverter in confined spaces or
inside battery compartment of vehicle or boat. Use
only in properly ventilated areas.
• Do not place item(s) over the inverter. Make sure that
air is allowed to circulate freely around it.
• Do not place the inverter in direct sunlight or near any
device which is generating heat above room temperature.
• Do not operate inverter in ambient air temperature
below -10°F or above 110°F.
• Regularly check that all connections are secure and
tight. A loose connection can create high electrical
resistance and generate excessive heat which will
damage the inverter.
• Not approved for use in conjunction with medical

Power Inverter

equipment.
• Reverse polarity connection will damage the inverter
and possibly any connected equipment.
• Do not open the inverter housing case.
• Secure the inverter and device being operated to
prevent them from moving while the vehicle is in motion.
• This is not a toy. Keep out of reach of children!
NOTE: To achieve maximum inverter power output, user
must run vehicle while inverter is in use.
• Keep this instructions for future reference.
• Start and run your vehicle hourly to prevent battery
discharge.
Installation
WARNING: Explosive GAS DANGER! Only make battery
and ground connections in a well ventilated area.
1. Prior to connecting inverter, make sure the
inverter ON/OFF rocker switch is in the OFF
position.
2. Attach the open-ring type connector (RED CABLE) to
inverter RED (+) input TERMINAL.
3. Attach the open-ring type connector (BLACK CABLE) to
inverter BLACK (-) input TERMINAL.
4. Hand tighten both terminal nuts securely. Do not
over-tighten.
5. Connect the RED alligator clip to the vehicle battery
positive (+) terminal.
6. Connect the BLACK alligator clip to the vehicle chassis,
engine block or a non-moving grounded metal part of
vehicle as far away from the battery as possible.
