of capacitors in the inverter starting to charge. Because of the possibility of
sparking, it is extremely important that both the inverter and the battery bank be
positioned away from any source of flammable fumes or gases. Failure to heed
this warning can result in fire or explosion. Do not make the positive terminal
connection immediately after the batteries have been charging. Allow time for
the battery gasses to vent to outside air.
GROUND TERMINAL WIRE REQUIREMENTS
Use a minimum of 12 gauge stranded wire for enclosure ground wire. Connect
this 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". This can be an attachment to a 6 foot long copper clad metal
rod driven into the ground. In the unlikely event of a short circuit, operating the
inverter without proper grounding can result in electrical shock. Do not directly
connect this ground to the negative terminal on the inverter.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1. Mount the inverter in a secure location. If the inverter is to be mounted
on a wall, mount it horizontally. Make sure that the front and rear of the
inverter has free air flow.
2. Make sure the cables are the proper gauge and have the fuse holder as
close to the battery bank's Positive (+) terminal as possible.
3. Install the fuse in the Positive (+) cable (Refer to the Cable Gauge Table at
rear of manual).
4. Make sure the ON/OFF switch located on the front panel of the inverter is
in the OFF (O) position.
5. Install the ground wire from the ground terminal to the grounding point.
6. Connect the Negative (−) cable end to the inverter terminal and battery's
Negative Terminal. Make sure you have good, secure connections.
7. Recheck and make sure the DC cable fuse is installed in the fuse holder.
8. Attach the positive cable to the Positive (+) DC connector on the battery
and then the inverter. Make sure the connections are tight and secure.
