IMPORTANT CABLE INFORMATION:
Substantial power loss and reduced battery operating time results from inverters installed with cables that are
not able to supply full power. Symptoms of low battery power can result from cables that are either excessively
long or an insufficient gauge. The installer/operator should be especially aware of the requirements to maintain
secure, tight, electrical connections and provide strain relief for DC cables and appliance wiring. Cable
insulation must be the appropriate type for the environment.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE:
• Do not operate near flammable materials, fumes or gases.
• DO NOT expose to extreme heat or flames.
• Ensure all cables and connections are tightly secured.
