Caution: This inverter must only be con- nected to batteries with a nominal output voltage of 12 volts. Lower voltage will not operate the inverter properly, and more voltage could damage the inverter or the device being powered. If more than one 12 volt battery is to be used, the batter- ies must be connected in a parallel
circuit; batteries connected in a series circuit will produce too much voltage.
1.Place the Power Inverter on a flat sur- face. Make sure it has adequate ven- tilation and is not in direct sunlight.
Locate the Inverter close enough to the vehicle battery so that the Cables can easily reach between the Inverter and the vehicle battery. Position the Inverter so that the Outlets are easily and safely accessible.
2.To connect the Cable Ring Terminals to the (Positive) red and (Negative) black Power Terminals on the back of the Inverter:
a.Unthread the knobs covering the Power Terminals.
b.Slide the red Cable’s Ring Termi- nal over the post of the red Power Terminal and the black Cable’s Ring Terminal over the post of the black Power Terminal.
c.Replace the knobs and tighten se- curely.
3.Apply the parking brake of the vehicle connected to the battery. Place the transmission in “Park” for an auto- matic transmission, or in “Neutral” for a manual transmission. Start the engine.
4.Attach the red Cable’s Alligator Clip to the Positive (red) terminal on the battery, then attach the black Cable’s Alligator Clip to a clean unpainted metal part of the chassis. (Note: If connecting to a battery not installed in a vehicle, connect to the Negative (black) terminal.)
5.The red Fault LED will light up mo- mentarily and the alarm will sound as the Inverter draws power. Then the alarm and red LED will turn off and
