(utility, household etc.) may feed into inverter.
• When using your power inverter continuously inside a vehicle
that is not running, the engine should be started at least once
an hour for 10-15 minutes to keep the battery from discharging.
Never start a vehicle in an enclosed garage due to risk of
carbon monoxide (a colorless, odorless gas) poisoning.
• Never install inverter in the engine compartment. Cables and
inverter should stay cool, dry and untangled.
• Never place the inverter on or near heating vents, radiators or
other sources of heat, including operation in direct sunlight or
any flammable materials. Ideal air temperature is between 50°
and 80° F.
• Do not expose unit to rain or moisture. do not operate if you,
the inverter, the battery source or item being powered is wet.
This can cause electric shock, serious injury or even death.
• Make sure your vehicle's wiring harness can handle the current
before plugging in an inverter to your cigarette lighter. For safer
use, you may need to hard wire the inverter directly to the
battery.
• Check the owner's manual for the proper wire size for battery
cables when connecting the inverter to the battery. It is best
to use copper wire over aluminum, which can resist the
electrical current flow.
• Always read, become familiar with, and save the instruction
manual for proper use and safety precautions. Working with
car batteries can be dangerous and can result in serious injury,
and improper use of a power inverter can lead to electrocution
or battery failure.
