CAUTION:

DO NOT CONNECT TO AC DISTRIBUTION WIRING:

The Power Force 50™ is engineered to be connected directly to standard electrical and electronic equipment in the manner described above. Do not connect the Power Inverter to household or RV AC distribution wiring. Do not connect the Power Inverter to any AC load circuit in which the neutral conductor is connected to ground (earth) or to the negative of the DC (battery) source.

CAUTION:

RECHARGEABLE APPLIANCES

Certain rechargeable devices are designed to be recharged by plugging them directly into an AC receptacle. These devices may damage the Power Force 50™. When first using a rechargeable device, monitor its temperature for the initial ten minutes of use to determine whether it emits excessive heat. If excessive heat is detected, it is a good indication that the device should not be used with this inverter. This problem does not occur with the majority of battery-operated equipment. Most of these devices use a separate charger or transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle. The Power Force 50™ is capable of running most chargers and transformers.

FUSE REPLACEMENT

If the Power Force 50™ is overloaded, replace the main fuse as follows:

1.Open the top flap of the Pocket Generator™, carrying case. The main fuse holder’s screw-on/off cap will immediately be visible.

2.Unscrew the fuse holder cap and remove the fuse.

3.Replace with a new 10-amp fuse, if needed.

4.

Screw fuse holder cap back on.
