Proper Tool Selection and Use

Use the correct tool for the job and do not modify it.

Personal Protective Attire

Dress properly with non-loose clothing, protective wear, and hair covering.

Mandatory Eye Protection

Always wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles when using tools.

Footing and Balance

Maintain proper footing and balance, do not overreach.

Tool Care and Cord Inspection

Maintain tools with care, keep them clean, and have damaged cords repaired.

Disconnecting Power After Use

Disconnect power by unplugging the inverter when not in use.

Preventing Accidental Activation

Ensure the switch is off before plugging in appliances to avoid unintentional starting.

Operator Vigilance and Common Sense

Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense.

Pre-Use Equipment Inspection

Check for damaged parts before use and ensure proper operation.

Servicing by Qualified Technicians

This device should only be serviced by a qualified technician.

Safety Precautions Part 3

General Safety Guidelines

Follow general safety rules including electric shock, influence, pacemaker, and ventilation.

Electric Shock Hazard Prevention

Guard against electric shock; do not open the case and prevent body contact with grounded surfaces.

Prohibition of Operation Under Influence

Do not operate the tool under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Pacemaker User Electromagnetic Field Warning

Pacemaker users should consult their physician before using this product due to electromagnetic fields.

Ensuring Adequate Inverter Ventilation

Keep the inverter well-ventilated to prevent overheating and fire hazards.

Adherence to Powered Device Manuals

Adhere to all warnings and safety precautions in the manual of the device powered by the inverter.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Risk

Never use a vehicle engine in a sealed structure due to deadly carbon monoxide.

Unpacking Instructions

Connecting the Power Inverter

Power Source Requirements

Power source must provide 12 volts DC and sufficient current for proper inverter operation.

Battery Voltage Requirements

Inverter must only be connected to 12-volt batteries; lower or higher voltages can cause damage.

Installation Steps

Follow step-by-step instructions for physically connecting the inverter.

Inverter Mounting and Securing

Place the inverter on a flat, ventilated surface and secure it properly.

Connecting Battery and Ground Cables to Inverter

Connect battery cables to the inverter terminals and ground cable to the ground terminal.

Connecting Cables to Battery Terminals

Connect the battery cables to the negative and positive terminals of the battery.

Ground Cable Connection Locations

Connect the ground cable to the appropriate chassis or negative terminal location.

Operating the Power Inverter

Grounding Requirement

Never operate the inverter unless it is properly grounded to prevent hazards.

Connecting and Powering Devices

Plug devices into receptacles, turn inverter on, and wait for the green power LED.

Vehicle Engine Operation

Start the vehicle engine hourly to recharge the battery and prevent shutdown.

Shutting Down the Inverter

After use, disconnect appliances, turn the power switch off, and replace receptacle covers.

Inverter Maintenance

Cleaning the Unit

Keep the unit clean and dry; clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth only.

Servicing and Fuses

The device has no user-replaceable parts; servicing must be done by a qualified technician.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Low Battery Conditions

Low battery alarm indicates input voltage below 10.5V; recharge battery to prevent automatic shutdown.

Calculating Power Requirements

Calculate required amps by dividing load watts by 12V input voltage.

Appliance Startup Power

Some appliances require 2-6 times their wattage for startup, affecting inverter performance.

Audio Interference

Audio systems may buzz due to modified sine wave; use systems with higher quality power supplies.

TV Signal Interference

Minimize TV signal interference by positioning inverter and cables away from antennas.

Persistent Low Battery

Address persistent low battery alarm by recharging or cleaning battery connectors.

Low Output Voltage Issues

Reduce load to minimize watts if experiencing low output voltage; maintain input voltage above 10.5V.

No Power Output Troubleshooting

Check power switch, device wattage, and ensure adequate ventilation if no power output is detected.

Indicator Light Meanings

Red light indicates low/high input voltage, short circuit, or overload; troubleshoot accordingly.
